Great Golf Story.

OfcdI Oot1 OlOrJ.
The Chicago and Illinois papers are
running a story about Judge Dale of this
city and his ability at playing golf. Some
of the Chicago reporters have evidently
listened to some of Geordie Turpies stor-
les about Wichita. Here is the story:
Following the item regarding the golf
ing prowess Of Judge Dale of Wichita,
Kansas, comes an interesting story Of
how the learned jurist became interested
in the royal and ancient game of golf.
1t seems that "Gowfin" Geordie Turpie,
the famous golf coach and professional,
at present with the CalumetCountry Club
of Chicago, was engaged as coach for
the Wichita club last season, and one Of
his duties was 10 initiate the famous Kan
sas judge into the mysteries of the game
of golf. Indeed. so proficient and en-
thusiastic did his honor become that the
slightest suggestion by the lawyers prac-
ticing before him was sufficient TO induce
him 20 adjourn to the nearby links TO en-
gage in a friendly and spirited game
with the Scotch friend the coach. While
playing one day with the young Scot, the
Judge, happening to remark that he had
an important murder trial for the next
day and asked his young friend if he
would not care to attend. Never having
been in an American temple of justice,
he readily consented and at the appointed
time, appeared at the door Of the court
house Hesitatingly he entered the court
room for the first time in his life. He
modestly took a seat in the rear of the
room. He was not long to remain there.
however, for ne was soon spied by the
judge, who sent a bailiff TO fetch him to
the bench where he was given a seat at
the right hand side of the magistrate.
Hardly realizing the conspicuousness thus
bestowed upon him, he soon became lost
in the unusual scene that was going on
about him. He was an interested spec
tator and the trial spell-binding. 1t was
not, however until the lawyer for the
prisoner arose to address the jury on
behalf of the prisoner depicting in flow
ing language the serious nature of the
duties that they were about 10 perform,
the child that would be fatherless, the
wife without a husband. and the home
shorn of a protector. that the interest
of the young coach attained the highest
pitch and when the lawyer sat down,
having done all that human power could
do for his client, deatn-like silence pre-
vailed in the court room, only partly
broken by the whispered words of the
judge. George, did they cut the grass
out on the sixth green today"

This idea of needle model is made
more apparent by look at the over

rather short, it is as round and sharp
