GREAT GOLF SCORES.
Showing for Season of 1908 Was Re-
markable

Not since the game of golf was first intro
duced into this country, says a writer in
the New York World, has the scoring been
SO low as during the year 1903. In fact,
the past season may be set down as one
fairly bubbling over with records and conn
paratively few are the courses that have
not been the scenes of mountaineering per-
formances
This holds good both in the east and west.
and by amateurs as well as professionals
When Walter ]. Travis established new
competitive mark of 70 In the spring tour
nament at Atlantic City 1t was predicted
that the veteran would contribute his share
to the years golfing history Last summer,
the day before the Oxford Cambridge team
played at Garden City. Travis went around
considering the unusual length of the
course.
. The following day Findlay s. Douglas,
playing against Norman Hunter, went
around the Garden City course in 70. He
finished l up IN Hunter, and considering
the fact that this score was made in a
match it may easily be ranked as equal IL
not superior to Travis practice round of a.
Douglas also figured with unusual prom
inence on another occa sion. 1t was during
the final round of the open tournament at
Apawamis. In this 36-hole match against
Travis. Douglas was so much off his game
during the morning that when the first IS
holes We're completed he found himself no
less than eight down to the methodical
Travis.
In the afternoon Douglas became as bril-
liant as he was erratic earlier in the day,
making the long ApawamiS circuit in the
remarkable score of 70. This beat both
professional and amateur records for the
links. 1t was hard luck for the Scot, who
even though he broke the record. lost to
Travis.

Ferguson Whipped walcott.

A fair-sized crowd attended the bouts be-
fore the Criterion A. c. in Boston last night
and saw some excellent sport. The main
attraction was fifteen-round bout between
Joe Walcott, the welter-weight champion,
and Sandy Ferguson. the Chelsea heavy
weight who aspires to fill Jim Jeffries
shoes some day. There was great differ
ence in the two mems weights. Walcott
scaled about 14S pounds, while Ferguson
tipped the beam nearly at the 205-pound

THE AZTEC CALENDAR.
Curious Relic in thu City of Mexico
That Was Carved Over Four
Centuries Ago.

One of the curiosities of all ages is
built in the wall of the cathedral in
the City of Mexico. 1t is the Aztec
calendar, carved in 1912. While being
carted to its destination 1t broke down
n bridge and fell to the bottom of the
lake in which the city was built, kill
ing priests and people. With great
difficulty it was raised out of the wa
ter. With other objects of heather
worship it was afterward buried in the
marsh, as the best way to get rid of It,
and there it lay hidden for two CEN
turtles. In 1890 the Spanish yiceroy al
lowed It to be built into the cathedral
on condition that It should be pre-
served and exposed always in a public
place. 1t is now, however, held as the
property of the National museum, says
the New York Press.
The Aztec calendar is n solid piece of
stone, u feet in diameter. 1t divides
time into cycles, years and days. Fifty
two years constitute n cycle; the year
365 days, with five intercalary days
wholly devoted to human sacrifices.
Each year had Is months of 20 days
each, and each month four weeks of
five days each. The days had such
names as Sea Animal. Small Bird,
Monkey, Rain, etc, and each of the 20
days had different name. The points
of the compass were named Reed,
House, Flint and Rabbit, instead of
east, west, north and south. When an
Aztec said: Il am going House on Sea
tnimal," he meant that he was start
ing west on Monday. The month OF
March was called Victims Played Alive,
while July's title was Garlands of Corn
on the necks of Idols.

PLACED DUTY BEFORE WORK.
Man in Need of Employment Refused

A London preacher had an interest
ing experience not long ago with hun
CRY man. The mendicant explained
that he had found it absolutely impos-
sible to get work. He had applied ev-
erywhere, always to be turned away.
and at last nothing remained for him
but to beg from door to door for the
food that was necessary to keep life in
his body.
The clergyman's heart was filled
with pity. The poor man seemed to be
honest, and after being furnished with
a good meal he was asked where mes
sage would reach him. He gave an ad-
dress and went away.
Then the preacher sat down to think
the matter over He knew Of no work
that he could find for the man, but he
decided to invent a job.
Accordingly the next day the preach
err sent message to the luckless man,
saying:
Come at once. / have a position
for you. We need a man to clean our
school house and keep it in order"
He received an immediate reply as
follows:

with the period Immediately following

An interesting chapter treats Of the
resignation of Theirs in 1878 and the
succession Of Marshal MacMahon to
the presidency. The author asserts
that Theirs did not believe Mahon
would consent to succeed him. The
marshal asked Theirs for his advice.
The latter's reply was: "You are the
sole Judge"
MacMahon said he would refuse to
accept the presidency if Theirs would
withdraw his resignation, to which
Theirs replied: "That's n matter in

HEAD DEADLY WEAPON.
So Declared by n West Virginia
Judge In Case of Assault
and battery.

According to ruling in the circuit
court at Welch, Mcdowell county, w
Va, Negroes head is considered "a
dangerous and deadly weapon" says a
report from that section. Frank Mar
tin brought suit for $4,000 against
James Knox, n prominent attorney at
Welch, for damages sustained by being
pounded with a pair of steel knucks.
Martin is n coored man and has head
of abnormal proportions. The testi-
mOny in the case was that Martin be-
came incenscd at the attorney, while
the latter was in his place OF business,
and that the negro bowed low and
started to butt" the attorney out of
his shop.
The tSrney sworo on the stand that
he regarded the Negroes head as" "a dan
gerous and deadly weapon" and that
to defend himself and probably save his
life he dealt him few blows with steel
knucks. Evidence was adduccd which
went to show that Martin had at differ
ent times "butted" people ont Of his
shop. The Judge gave n verdict in
favor Of the defendant, ruling that UNI
der the circumstances he regarded the
Negroes head as n dangerous and dead
~ weapon" and that the attorney act
I'd in self-defensc.
