HUMOR OF THE HOUR
q One Merit of Golf.

"Yes, SIR" exclaimed the enthusiast;
"golf Is the best ever. 1t has distinct
domestic value that is not generally
appreciated We will suppose, for ex-
ample, that man has been celebrat-
ing little too much and he wishes to
round up and go home. Well. as a pre-
liminary he goes to the golf links to
get the exercise. You will readily ap-
preciate that there are occasions when
exercise has a distinct and almost i'm
mediate value. Now, In practice golf
works out ON the theory that the more
exercise a man needs in these circum-
stances the more he gets The more
uncertain he Is in his drives the more
walking he has to do, and the effect Is
decidedly beneficial. OF course there
may still be little something notice
able about him when he gets home, but
1t is naturally attributed to the Scotch
highbau he took because Of his weari-
ness at the conclusion of the round.
oh, golf is surely great game!-Chi-

You'll never be able to do it," said

he meets my look and questions CIV

pearance, l look at once for these
things: Polished shoes, clean clothes
and clean finger nails. Good clothes
are not requisites. A boys clothes may
be ragged, his shoes may have holes in
them, yet his appearance may still give
evidence Of a desire to be neat. l will
not employ cigarette smoker If l

can have. The recommendation which

Mule and Thoroughbred Horse.
Ia fable1

A IaDle-l
A thoroughbred Arab horse and
mule were lodged together for a night
In the same stable. The mule could do
nothing but complain Of everything.
"How stupid these stablemen are" he
exclaimed. what a wretched building
this is, and what rotten straw to lie
upon. And the fodder, too-why, it is
not fit for asses"
Thus he went on finding fault with
one thing and then another. while his
companion, the thoroughbred steed.
uttered not a murmur or complaint, but
seemed quite content with what had
fallen to his lot.
Mornl.-Mark ye, my friends, among
mankind as well as animals, true gen
tiltty Is ever content and noble. Be as

NEW SHORT STORIES
King Alfonso and sIr. storer.

Alfonso XIII. of Spain may not have
acquired as yet quite as huch tact as
Is considered requisite In one whose re-
latlons are largely diplomatic, but
there Is no mistaking the keen obser
walton and quick good humor Of the
boy, which Is constantly shown IN the
actions Of the king.
One evening just before this last Of
the Bourbon monarchs took the oath
he was receiving ut an informal recep-
tion to the diplomatic corps He was
not quite used to the situation, and his
manner was a little awkward in meet
ing the majority of the representatives
of the powers, but when BellaIny Sto-
rer, the AmeAcan minister, approached
him smile spread over his face. Al
fonso had seen more of Mr.. Storer than
of the majority Of the foreign repre-
sentatives, and those standing near an
ticipated some remark in reference to
their friendship. But the young king
had noticed what none Of the others
had observed, that Mr.. Storers eye
was somewhat swollen and slightly
discolored.
How queer you look" was the de-
cidedly Informal greeting accorded to
the representative of the United States.
What did it?'
Mr.. Storer replied that he had been
struck by book falling from high
shelf, at which Alfonso said:
1.-The weather is getting too nice to
stay indoors and read. Come and ride
with me tomorrow"

Many of the pretty and suggestive
little words that serve as names for
japanese girls are as charming in Eng
lish as in japanese. 1t is not uncom-
mon for a Jap girl to bear the name Of
a flower. On the other hand, however,
many girls In Japan bear the names Of
some domestic utensils, as frying pan
or dustbrush. Doubtless this results
from the custom common among some
people of naming child for the first
object that strikes the eye after the
little one has come into the world.

Send millions woe or bliss,
But he can reach with little hands
And sweetly smile at me.

Where gladness ought to be.
