Judgment of Distance.

from the Boston Herald.
me accuracy and steadiness of aim ana
the wonderful judgment Of distance ac-
qulreo by steady practice at the game of
goif are source of great surprise to the
spectator who is not a devotee of the
game. Some OF the professionals who
nave spent years at the game, both In this
country and abroad. have a great follow

VINO try to copy the teachers in a wsy
that Is ludicrous. About year ago Willie
Campbell, an old-time champion and all
around expert Of the game was employed
as Instructor at the Franklin Park links
His accuracy In making a drive was al
most perfect. and his aim was so sure that
frequently he would amuse the crowd by
placing penny on the crystal of his
watch and with strong drive pick il off
without even scratching his watch After
seeing Campbell do this once or twice a
young man who had acquired fairly
good knowledge of the game thought that
he could do this little turn by using a golf
ball instead Of a coin. Before a few inter-
ested spectators he placed the ball on his
gold watch and prepared for a mighty
drive. The look that came over his face
after making the drive. when he saw that
both ball and watch had disappeared can
better be imagined than described For fif.
teen minutes he sought the pieces of his
watch, to the great amusement of the
crowd, and then departed, "a sadder but
wiser boy.

General Chaffee is paying particular at

| views In this respect were we'll expressed

! Dragon. delivered soon after his arrival in
Manila. Soon after this he issued an order
prescribing the uniform to be worn by off,
GERS when on duty and otherwise, and also
directing that no enlisted man should ap-
pear out of quarters without a blouse
closely buttoned
He was never an admirer Of white as q
uniform color, and forbade the wearing Of
| order issued July 80. 1901. he directs the
shipment to the United States among
other "superluous and obsolete articles Of
clothing and equipage," more than $1,000
Among other articles mentioned in tho
list are blue infantry hat cords, blue in
fantry shoulder straps and q number Of
chevrons of all classes. The shoulder straps
and hat cords have not been a part Of the
uniform for some time. although as a num-
Der or them were on hand while General
Macarthur was In command Of the division
the wearing Of them was left to the decis-
ion Of the regimental commanders, many of
whom permitted their men to wear the
tabooed articles The present division
commander, however, believes in adhering
strictly to the prescribed uniform and no
other.
Others on the list Of articles ordered ship
ped home are number of fur caps, infan-
try overcoats, fur gauntlets, stoves and
arctic overshoes. One cannot but wonder
how the soldiers of the Philippines are to
endure the severe winter coming on with

Gently performed the remarkable feat Of
cycling from Gravesend to Northfieet to

he Is out on his machine daily, and rides
all over the district. Mr.. Johnson was born
on January %. 1911, and did not commence

Everybody seemed to be on wheels. so he
thought he should like to cycle. too. but had
an idea that he would not be able to lift
his legs sufficiently high for the usual
crank-about six inches, making circle of
twelve inches-so he enlisted the services
Of q local maker and superintended the
construction of a machine to his own speci-
ficat1on, having only q four-ineh crank
and wheels twenty-four inches In diameter
and with no cross-bar at the top, so as to
render mounting more easy.

THE M'KINLEY WAY
Awaited Fitting Time to Announce
His Policies.
WATCHED TREND OF PUBLIC THOUGHT
When He Spoke He Stirred the
Country's Patriotic Chord.
DELIBERATE IN ACTlO ON
Written for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star.
The Mckinley policies will pass into his
tory. Yet the dead President would not
have had them called so. To him they were
national policies. He spoke of them as
1.-The countrys policies" and President
Roosevelt by his action makes them such.
1t was during the visit to President Nc
Kinley at his home in Canton q few weeks
ago that 1 gained some idea Of the full
import of the subjects on which his mind
was dwelling most. An outline Of those
views was given for publication at the
time. but 1t was only an outline. and did
not cover the full ground. On that occa-
sion President Mckinley drew back the
veil of the future as 1t was spread before
his vision. On taking leave of him there
was a gentle warning to be careful about
quoting the President. but full permission
to make use Of the information given by
him as time and circumstances might sug-
gest. 1t was then that he deprecated the
use OF his own name and spoke of the
future course of his administration in ma
turing and developing 1.-The country's poll
cies." In all his talk there was no sug-
gestion of partisan advantage.
The Buffalo Speech.
The Buffalo speech showed how fully
his ideas had ripened. During the CONVEX
SosAoh spChc Win uiESCtneSS OF MS
purpose In the annual message to urge
and TO urge strongly the ratification of the
reciprocity treaties. but 1t was to be an
arGumentative message. Fully realizing
the opposition which existed to these
treaties. he spoke of the necessity of the
members Of his own party reasoning to-
gether."
If the reasoning failed unquestionably he
was getting ready for an appeal to the
country and for legislation based on even
broader basis than reciprocity treaties;
but his own wish and his hope was that
this broader basis might be reached through
the path which was marked out so clearly
He had no notion of defying one wing of
his party, as Mr.. Cleveland might have
done. but he did have a most determined
purpose that IL the issue arose his admin
istration should not be disrupted by it,
His confident belief was that n few months
more of popular education would make
the wisdom OF the legislation which he had
In mind SO plain that opposition to it, at
least within his own party, would cease TO
be pronounced.
Awaiting Fitting Opportunity.
At that time President Mckinley made a
number of Inquiries which showed how
closely he was watching the trend of pub
lie sentiment. While his intention to bring
out clearly and strongly in his annual raes-
sage the questions of the future was maui
fest. l got the impression at the time that
