Zaccheus knew it was not enough 10 just
say he was sorry. He showed heart re-
pentance by purse repentance. He brought
forth fruit meet for repentance. Indeed
he did not say he was sorry at al-in
words: but he made a good confession, just
the same.
Zaccheus probably did not think that
even half his goods to the poor and four
fold restitution could catch up with his
wrongdoing. You never can catch up
with wrongdoing-with broken hearts.
with ruined lives. But he did the best he
could and Christ always accepts that.

SPORTS.
GOLFERS GET READY
Play Upon the Local Links Will Be-
gin Within the Next Few ri =
s[.. Weeks. &..sst L
The Season Will Open Earlier Than
Usual if the Weather Con-
~. tinues Favorable.

Minneapolis golfers are looking forward
to the time when Old Soils kindly rays
have dried the links sufficiently to permit
play to begin, From present indications
the local season will be under way much
earlier than last year. when cold weather
and soaking rains delayed play until near
~ the first Of May.
The golfer is, of all men who take part
in outdoor sports, the most impervous to
weather. He is the first to resume his
faEorite sport in the spring, the last to
stop in the fall. He will be out upon the
links in March or April as soon as the
schoolboy halls the advent of marble
time" and he is still playing when the
baseball player has quite transforming,
when the horsenan has retired to the hot
stove circuit, and when snow has driven
even the doughty football warrior to the
shelter of the ira ining-house. He will
play where the links are a foot or more I'M
der water, and the caddy has to wear life
preservers. In fact, the national tourna-
ment last year was played during rains
which would have stopped any other out
door sport in the world.
The links of the Minnikahda club are In
unusually good condition this spring.
Formerly the spring thaws have flooded
the greens, and the water has frozen
during succeeding frosts, making the
suns task in drying out the greens long
and tedious one. This year the greens
have been carefully drained and the play
ers will be upon the links in two or three
weeks If favorable weather continues
Temporary green's will be used until the
permanent greens are put in shape for the
season.
The links at Bryn Mawr are still some
what soggy, but the club members will
begin informal play by April 1 If good
weather lasts.
A meeting Of the directors Of the Mead
ow- Brook Golf club Of Winona will be
held this week to make arrangements fol-
beginning the seasons play. The links
especially the greens, have come through
the winter in fine shape and the presen
expectation is that playing can commence
by the first Of April, although the forma
opening will probably not be much before
the first Of May. 1t is expected that the
annual contest with the Minikahda clul
Of Minneapolis will be arranged for Me
mortal Day. a delegation from that clul
having gone down there that day TO-
several years past. 1t is expected that
number of contests between La Crosse ant
Winona will be pulled off during the sea
son.
