A G97 YARD HOLE IN FOUR.

 At Garden City Christmas day good entertainment for lovers of golf was af- forded. The first hole of the course was 637 yards.
 It was thought that six would be par golf. but Travis, with three perfect strokes, was on the green, and ran down his put for brilliant four. His drive and two brassey shots averaged a little over 200 yards each, and the achievement can go down in the annals of the sport as one of the most remark able ever recorded. A 637-yard hole in four.

The wizard expressed himself pleased
| with the glass-blower's skill and at once
handed him a small vial.

said.
But the vial is emptyr' protested the
glass-blower.
".oh. no: there is one drop Of liquid in

inquired the glass-blower. in wonder.
Most certainly. That is a mervelous
remedy. The one drop contained in the
vial will cure instantly any kind Of disease
ever known to humanity. Therefore. 1t IS
especially good for rheumatism But guard
1t well. for It Is the only drop OF its kind
in the world. and I've forgotten the recipe"
Thank you." said the glassblower. and
went back to his room.
Then the wizard cast a why spell and
mumbled several very learned words in the
wizardese language over the glass dog.
Whereupon the little animal first wagged
its tail from side to side. then winked his
left eye knowingly, and at last began bark
ing in a most frightful manner-that Is.
when you stop to consider the noise came
from a pink glass dog. There Is m
thing almost astonishing In the magic arts
Of wizards; unless. of course. you know
how to do tho things yourself, when you
are not expected to be surprised at them
The Wizard was as delighted a. a school
teacher at the success Of his spell, al
though he was not astonished. Immediate
ly he placed the dog outside his door. where
It would bark at any one who dared knock
and so disturb the studies OF his master.
The glassblower, on returning to his
room. decided not to use the one drop Of
wizard cure-all 1ust then
MY rheumatism is better to-day" he re-
nected, and I will be wise to save the
medicine for a time when I am very Ill.
when It will be OF moro service to me-"
So he placed the vial in his cupboard and
went to work blowing more roses out Of
glass. Presently he happened to think the
medicine might not keep. so he started to
ask the wizard about it. But when he
reached the door the glass dog barked 80
fercely that he dared not knock. and re-
turned in great haste to his own room. In
deed, the poor man was quite upset at 30
u%nfriendly . reception from the dog he
had himself 50 carefully and skillfully
made.
The next morning. as he read his news .
paper, he noticed a n article stating that
the beautiful Miss Mydas, tho richest young
lady in town. was very Ill. and the doctors
had given up hope OF her recovery.
The glass-blower. although miserably
poor. Woodworking n homely OF feature,
was a man Of ideas He suddenly recollect-
ed his precious medicine. and determined
to use 1t to better advantage than relieving
his own Ills. He dressed himself in his best
brushed his hair and combed his
whiskers. washed his hands and tied his
necktie, blackened his shoes and sponged
his vest, and then put the vial of magic
cure-all in his pocket Next he locked his
door, went downstairs and walked through
tho streets to tho grand mansion where
tho wealthy Miss Mydas resided

ment in the society papers and have thu
wedding cards engraved. Call tomorrow
and we'll talk 1t over"
The Slass-blower had not impressed hel
favorably as a husband. and she was glad
to fEd an excuse for getting rid of him for
a time. And she did not want to miss the
Fritters's reception.
Yet tie man went home filled with Joy
for he thought his stratagem had succeed
ed and he was about to marry a rich wife
who would keep him In luxury forever aft
erwsrd.
The first thing he did on reaching his
room was to smash his glass-blowing tools
and throw them out OF the window.
He then sat down to figure out ways of
spending his wife's money.
Tho following day he called upon Miss
Mydas. who was reading a novel and eat
Ing chocolate creams as happily as II she
had never been Ill in her life.
"Where did you get the magic compound
that cured me?" she asked.
from a learned wizard" said he; and
then. thinking it would interest her. he
told how he had made the glass dog for
the wizard. and how 1t barked and kept
everybody from bothering him.
How delightful" she said. "Ive al
ways wanted a glass dog that could bark"
but there Is only one in the world" he
answered. "and 1t belongs to the wizard"
You must buy 1t for me-" said tho lady.
THE wizard cares nothing for money"
replied the glass-blower.
Then you must steal 1t for me-" she
retorted. 81 can never live happily an
other day unless 1 have a glass dog that
can bark"
The glass-blower was much distressed at
this. but said he would sec what he could
do. For q man should always try to please
his wife. and Miss Mydas had promised to
marry him within q week.
On his way home he purchased q heavy
sack, and when he passed the wizards
door and the pink glass dog ran out to
bark at him he threw the sack over the
dog. tied the opening with q piece OF
Irvine and carried him away to his own
room.
The next day he sent the sack by . mes
senger boy to Miss Mydas. with his COM
pliments. and later in the afternoon he
called upon her in person. feeling quite sure
he would be received with gratitude for
stealing the dog she SO greatly desired.
But when he came to the door and the
butler opened 1t, what was his amazement
to see the glass dog rush out and begin
barking at him furiously.
"Cal off your dog" he shouted in ter
ror.
Il can't. SIR" answered the butler. MY
young lady has ordered the glass dog to
bark whenever you call here. You'd bet
ter look out. SIR" he added. FOR If 1t bites
you. you may have glassophobiar"
This go frightened the poor glass-blower
that he went away hurriedly. But he
stopped at a drug store and put his last
dime in the telephone box SO he could
talk to Miss Mydas without being bitten
by the dog.
Give me Pelf 6742I' he called.
Hello! What is it," said q voice.

the glass-blower.
Presently a sweet voice said: T Is

When the lady's maid heard from the

An accomplished wizard once lived on the
pp floor of a tenement house and passed
his time In thoughtful study and studious
thought. What he didn't know about wiz
ardry was hardly worth knowing. for he
possessed all the books and recipes of all
the wizards who had lived before him: and.
moreover. he had invented several wizard
ments himself.
This admirable person would have been
completely happy but for tho numerous In
terruptions to his studies caused by folk
who came to consult him about their trou-
bles On which he was not interested). and
BY the loud knocks OF the iceman. the
mIlkman. the bakers boy. the laundryman
and the peanut woman He never dealt
with any of these people: but they raped
at his door every day to see him about this
or that or try to sell him their wares.
Just when he was most deeply Interested
In his books or engaged in watching the
bubbling Of a cauldron there would come a
knock at his door. And after sending the
intruder AWAY he always found he had
lost his train OF thought or ruined his
compound.
At length these interruptions aroused his
anger, and he decided he must have a dog
to keep people away from his door. He
didn't know where to find a dog, but In the
next room lived a poor glassblower with
whom he had a slight acquaintance: 50 he
went into the mans apartment and asked;
Where can I find a dog"
What sort OF a dog?' inquired the glass
blower.
"a good dog. One that will bark at peo-
Die and drive them away. One that VIII DO
no trouble to keep and won't expect to be
fed. One that has no neas and Is neat IN
his habits. One that Will obey mo when 1
speak to him. In short, . good dog" said
the wizard.
such a dog is hard to md" returned the
giassblower. who was busy making q blue
glass nowerpot with a pink glass rosehush
in It, having green glass leaves and yellow
glass roses.
The wizard watched him thoughttully.

It would not bark at people. you know"
"Oh. I'll fx that easily enough" replied
the other. IF 1 could not make . glass
