And he goeth.
Verify, the raiment he wears is fear
fully and wonderfully made! He lik-
eth ample room at the hip pocket and
saveth the cloth at the knees. He
considereth his calves, and he sayeth,
"They are shapely, and my boots
weigheth ten pounds. Yea, I shall putt
the ball as no man putteth it." And
he calleth a youth, saying: "Laddie,
fetch my clubs.' And he fetcheth
them. And he chooseth one with a
long staff and short iron nose. He
placeth the ball on the "tee," and he
gazeth upon it long: and he museth
thusly: Nov will I smite thee, thou
sphere of white. Small as thou art, I
will drive thee from off the face Of the

QUEER FACTS ABOUT RAIN.

One. Catches Less Water ny Walking

do you know said the obsersant
citizen, the habit of running through
the rain is based on a definite fa7'aey1
It is a common habit. But does it tend
to minimize the amount Of water fall

l am convinced that it rather asgTa-
Yates the situation. By experience, IN

and at times when che rainfall was
about the same, I found that Uy
clothes picked up more water and
were consequently damper when coy
cred the distance in a run than they
were when walked.
There seems to be a good reason
Tor the rather curious fact. Rain falls
lrregularly. Sometimes there is
space OF five or six inches between
the falling drops, as We have rec;iced
on smooth surfaces, like z stone flag

an inch will separate the drops. Water
