"Bogey" and "Par" Golf.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
In the minds of many who should know
better a certain confusion appears to exist
on the point of DOGGY and par scores
DOGGY" as we all know, Is an invention OF
the Saxon; he appeared first of all upon
the southern greens, and fought his way
northward amid considerable opposition
When at length after having proved his
utility to the general satisfaction. he reach

to contest his supremacy. This, let me be
careful to state, is merely my own theory OF
what took place. l believe the Scot invent
ed the term in order to cope with the in
solent southron who came~north and asked
casually, by the way, what is the DOGGY
of your courses?' Then he could retort Sc
Verely that the gentleman In question was
unknown at ST. Andrews but that a par
round was so-and-So, as the case might be
But the two are not calculated in the same
fashion; a par score Is lower than a DOGGY

Stage Royalties.
From Leslie's Monthly.

4 y.
Dramatists are paid far more literally
now than they were in the past. Edwin
Forrest was praised for generosity when he
offered $1,000 for an American tragedy.
"Metamora," which won the prize, was one
of $40 submitted. Nowadays that sum is
given to the dramatist on the delivery of
the complete manuscript as advanced roy
aties, which are paid on a scale of per
cent on each weeks gross receipts up to
5000; 10 per cent for the next So, 600, Is
per cent for the next 50 600, 20 per cent for
the $1,000 after that, and % per cent for all
over $4,000 These figures vary somewhat,
but they may be taken as fair estimate of
the pay of -first-class dramatists. A few
playwrights. such as Pinero, Henry Arthur
Jones and Clyde Fitch, get much more, and
Haddon Chambers Is said to have received
% per cent for THE Tyranny OF Tears on
even it's lowest receipts. But that was in
America after the comedy had made great
success in London and was regarded as a sure
investment The few most favored authors,
such as those mentioned just above, usually
agree simply towrite a play and receive their
first pay before line is on paper. The only
stipulation is that the leading role shall
fit the purchasing actor-manager, and even
this is sometimes omitted in Puero's con-
tracts

"Sir Sherlock Holmes, "
From the Chicago Record-Herald

FROM the chicago Record Herald.
During the coronation ceremonies in Eng
land DR.. Conan Doyle, author Of Sherlock
Holmes. was among those knighted by
King Edward VII. 1t came, the writer de-
ciares, as complete surprise to him, and
the first notification he received was in the
shape of bill for some cartridges which
was made out to ''Sir Sherlock Holmes"
The author wrote to his gunsrnith for an
explanation and most melancholy looking
man called upon him. and after making the
most profuse apologies said that he had
made the bill out himself. He thought, he
explained. that he was right, as he had
read in the newspapers that morning of the
comforting of the knighthood on DIR. Doyle
and he had always been informed that
when gentleman was given a title he
changed his name to something suggestive
or that which he had become famous for,
and he naturally supposed that when Mr.
Doyle changed his name he would call him.
self "Sir Sherlock Holmes" and cited as
somewhat similar presidents Lord Kitch-
ener of khartoum and Lord Roberts of
Kandahar
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, to give him his
title in full, lives in an ideally delightful
place in Surrey called Hindhead, near
Haslemere. He does a great deal of his
writing here, and his study Is a large oak
wainscoted room looking out on an ex-
tensive lawn. He goes in largely for the
sports Of his country, but does not ride, be-
cause, as he explains, he has never yet
found horse big enough to carry him
which had speed enough to come within
seeing distance of a finish. He shoots
great deal, goes for long walks along the
beautiful Surrey lanes and combines sue
cessfully with his literary work the life
of a country gentleman. He is probably,
next to Kipling the highest paid writer of
the present day.

He Stopped the Bell.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.

From the Chicago inter-Ocean
The requests for theater fayors in the
small towns are very troublesome. Every
person Of local standing feels that he has a
right to admission at least, while the trus-
tees and the constable feel that they are
entitled to private boxes. Some Of the re-
quests are decidedly unique.
Recently a company played small
southern city. The manager was taking the
tickets at the door of the theater, and the
natives were struggling to get in. Sud

ned individual divided the folding doors

he, this man is the janitor of the town

Death Of q Noted Negro.
From the Springfield Republican.


A prominent colored man, George T.
Downing, died at Newport recently, one of
the best representatives Of his race at the
north. who had been identified with Doug
lass and Garnet of his own race, and with
Sumner and the abolitionists of Boston in
the long fight for freedom. Mr. Downing
was born December 80, 1919, and attended
school in New York. When but a youth he
was an agent of the underground railway
and helped to spirit away Little Henry
the slave who was placed in the jail OF
New York, then situated in the park, near
where the old city hall now stands. He
was arrested, but the matter was COM
promised. Downing was one of the famous
committee of thirteen organized at the time
of the enactment of the fugitive slave law
These associates selected Mr.. Downing to
deliver an address Of welcome to the Hun
garian patriot, Louis Kossuth
AS citizen of Rhode Island Mr. DOWNING
was forceful and effective along the same
lines. 1t was mainly through his efforts
that distinction on account of color was
abolished in the public schools of tina
state. He besieged the legislature for a
dozen years until this point was carried
and made the battle a political one. He
became man of property, and some years
ago retired from business. So this negro
made himself man among men, was re-
spectee for his worth and ability, and will
always be held in honor by his race for
what he was and what he did for them.

evidences OF evolution after all in all the
activities of human life, and even in boyish
games, no less than the higher and more
important activities of life. But, after all,
the boys get the same amount of pleasure
out of the games that the boys of the older
school enjoyed; so the change amounts
simply to change IN detail.'

Evolution Of Boys Games.

old bachelor, land. as matter of fact the
changes have been so worked that the older
fellows are scarcely well enough posted
now to enter any of the games that used to

found:

play of Hamlet announced for the first
night, and that 1 was cast for Laertes, the
Ghost, and the Second Actor. Jupiter! how
