why Tramp. Are Tram p..

y
A university professor, during his
summer holiday, has been travelling
about England asking every tramp
that he met why he didn't work, says a
London exchange.
He interviewed 1000 Migrants, and,
CHASING them according to the various
reasons they gave for not earning their
daily bread in an orthodox manner, we
get the following:
Six hundred and fifty-three said they
were weililng to work, but could not
obtain any,
Four hundred and fifty-five could not
give any reason that would hold wa
ter.
Three hundred and one thought that
no one ought to have to work, and If
some people were, foolish enough to
do so-well, they intended living on
those said people. #
Four hundred and seven were on
their way to procure work at distant
towns, having letters in their posses
sion promising them employment at
the. said towns, and the remaining 1914

scoTLAND's Law FoRslDs GOLF.
Some Facts That Devotees of the Game
May Not Know.

Some Facts That Devotees Of the Game
May Not Know.
Scotland, as everybody knows, is the
land where golf originated and the land
where it most flourishes. But If the
law was strictly enforced north Of the
Tweed it would go hard with the play
ers OF the royal game in Bonnie Scot
land" Golf players there may not
know it, but they are liable to SEN
tence of death for, their indulgence in
their favorite sport. Technically this
is literally fact In ancient times
when Scotland always had work fo1
her soldiers to do; all young men were
required to perfect themselves in arch
cry. They preferred to play golf, and
SO serious rival did the game become
that it was for time suppressed and
made capital offense. That curious
law never has been repealed, and may
still be found on the statute book
There seems TO be no record, however
OF the law ever having been enforced
This legislation in regard to golf re-
minds one of Kipling's charge that
football and cricket are occupying the
attention of the youth of England TIC
the exclusion of the more serious bust
ness OF tighting-his attack on 1.-THE
fianneled fool at the wicket and the
muddled oaf at the goal''

Boost for woman,s Rights.

Woman's rights got big boost out
in Montana the other day. when a
judge declared that 1t didn't matter
whether a wife was earning more mon
ey than her husband or not-when she
demanded divorce she was to get ali
mony just the same. The only trouble
was that the judge added that it served
man right, anyway, for getting mar
ried. And yet they talk about woman's
being illogical! The most strenuous
suffragists wouli never say that any
thing served a man right for getting
married: neither would she assert wo-
mans right" both to her own earn
irgs and to the support Of her divorced
husband. If the woman in this partic-
u;ar case made such demands, some
male lawyer put her up to it.-New

Female Birds con Strike

Birds are famous for "women's
rights" strikes that is, the females
sometimes flock together, abandoning
or driving away the males, and refuse
to do any "housework' whatever. They
desert their nests and will not finish
building. They leave their eggs to-
grow cold and unhatchablo. and moth
ing will induce them to return. The
male birds grow extremely concerned
at such times, but they have no rem
edy. for throughout the beast and bird
creation the male will never attack a
female. though the opposite often hap
pens. Warblers ana starlings especi-I
ally are given to these female work
ers' strikes N 55s Il III
