ONLY THREE CONTESTANTS.
Little Interest in Qualifying Round
for Golf Championship.

AZ the Country Club yesterday the wom-
en- members were scheduled to play an
eighteen-hole qualifying round for the club
championship. Although the links were in
perfect condition, and the weather ideal
for golf. only three contestants played
the round. These were Miss Gladys Wynn,
who made the best score, 123 for eighteen
holes; Miss Augusta jameson. 14O. and
Mrs. George Catterson, 167 Mrs. CATER
sons score was not so good as she gener-
ally makes, but considering that she has
been i'll all week, none better could be ex-
pected.
Why so few players competed is a mys-
terry. Miss Marjory Potts. the young
girl who golfed so we'll last week
and won the Hall sweepstake event
said last evening she knew nothing
petition yesterday Miss Potts further stat
ed that she will try for the championship
a aIh Potfs and Miss E. Too m aso
have expressed a desire TO compete If the
golf committee decides they can. 1t is
probable that the T1nnd fer VIII favor
players, and if so. it is hoped that every
woman golfer will play and do her best
to make this championship event a great
success.
The two best scores yesterday were as
follows:

CHAPEL ERECTED TO THE MEMORY OF
HEROES WHO WENT DOWN WITH THE MAINE.

CO HE United States Government,
in memory of the terrible catas-
trophe In Havana harbor, has
erected a most beautiful chapel on the
campus of the Naval Academy at An
napolis. Maryland
February 18th, 1898, is a day ever
memorable to the American people as
day of great sorrow and anger. News
most shocking flew over the wires from
one end of the land to the other. In
the harbor of Havana our proud battle
ship Maine had suddenly been demoi-
ished by some submarine explosive
force, and with its shattered iron form
254 brave marines had sunk instantly
into the deep wet grave.
Thus the Maine win ever occupy a
prominent place ih history. Through
this sad and fearful event was not the
immediate cause of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, it nevertheless was the most
deplorable prelude of the ensuing con-
fiict and the dire signal of the collapse
of Spain as world power. With the
Maine there were lost seventeen times
as many lives as in the two great naval
battles of this war, the brilliant vic
tories of Dewey off Manila and of
Schley off Santiago. A nation but hon
ors itself when honoring those who
have sacrificed their lives in her behalf.
And the men Of the Maine who, with
out warning, went down in their cabins

Tolstoi's Honest Criticism.

If the test that Count Tolstoi applied
on one occasion to his sons were made
universal, criticism might possibly be
more honest than at present, but it
would not be agreeable.
A lady's singing having displeased
Count Tolstoi's boys on one occasion,
they retired to another room and show
ed their disapproval by making =
noise. Their father stood it for time.
and then followed them into the other
room.
Are you making a noise on pur-
poser" he asked.
The question was close one, but
was presently answered by doubt

do you wish to protest against her
singing?" asked their father.
"Yes.''
Then go into the room and say SO.

tell every one present" replied the
Count. THAT would be rude, but up
right and honest. Your present con-
duct is both rude and dishonest"

The poisonous properties of the toad
have long been regarded as fabulous;
but recent investigation has proved
that the skin of species of toad Sc
cretes poison similar in action to digi-
tails. The venom of the toad has had
the reputation Of possessing poisonous
properties from very early period and
was probably one of the earliest forms
of animal poison known. The old ira
dition that King John was poisoned by
friar who dropped toad into his
wine was regarded as a ridiculous IA
BILE until some years ago. when it was
discovered that the skin of the toad

Mr.. Rankin owns fourteen ranches.
containing 1900 acres; 100 teams and
go men are required to operate the
daily routine work in the busy season
while the crops are under cultivation
Each ranch has an overseer. who is
required to make monthly report and
to submit the same to his employer.
The records of the past years work
over all the ranches show that to-
tai of 1883 head of cattle had been
sold for S172.520 and S.249 head of
hogs for $111,S46. The total clearance
for the year 1900 amounted to 100000.
The expenses, including interest.
reached the sum of $91. .S51.13.
The most profitable ranch is the one
looked after by Foreman George Ross,
whose yearly report contains the fol-
lowing statements: Number Of acres,

Mr.. Rankin is close observer and
soon picks out the good qualities of
his men. He is pleasant and accom-
modating. daring and energetic. which
qualities have won for him the wealth
he now commands. Besides his farms
he has an interest In several banking
concerns, but to these latter he gives
little attention, and spends most of his
time riding over the ranches to see
that proper care is being given the
stock. Sometimes he lends helping

ANsNr MOTHER aooss.

pk. when I was little boy,
With ringlets flying loose,
I loved before my finest toy
The rhymes OF Mother Goose:
And now. though my bald headed days
Have turned my whiskers white,
read these ancient baby lays
With all the old delight.
/ read them with the same old JOY,
And fancy flowing free,
Unto my golden headed boy
As they were read to me.
He claps his hands and, all whlzz,
His features glow and shine,
Until the thoughts that now are his
Are those that once were mine.
Perhaps when he. like me, is old,
He'll take upon his knee
His little child with curls of gold
All floating fair and free;
And read him all these rhymes aoeam
To make his spirit glad,
And for a f1eeting moment dream
About his dear old dad.
