ETIQUETTE ON THE LINKS.
Facts to he Learned by American
Players from English Cousins
Consideration for Caddies.

Not only in the actual playing of golf,
but in the etiquette of the game, the
American players, or some of them,
might well learn something from the
visiting Englishmen. says the Boston
Transcript. An observer of all the
games, and participant in the practice
rounds, states that there was a marked
difference between the Americans and
the Englishmen in their bearing toward
the caddies. The Americans, especially
the college boys. were impatient if the
caddie did not at once find the ball after
the drive. The Englishmen did not
hurry or worry at all. They almost in
variably said Thank you" when the
caddie did service for which he was be-
ing paid They consulted with the caddie
and usually accepted his Judgment as of
value, even if it was sometimes in error.
And they did not run. One of the caddies
was sent up the hill at Myopia to indicate
the direction of the hole. He started to
run up the hill with his heavy bag OF
clubs, after sharp command from one
of the college boys.
Don't run, my lad" called out the
Englishman for whom he was doing the
service, we've got all the time that there
is"

WHAT is A FLAT?
How 1t Is Distinguished from
Apartment.

Wont some one please enlighten me
as to the difference between fiat and
an apartment" plaintively inquired
woman who had just moved to the city
at an afternoon tea. Everybody was
willing to enlighten her, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
why, of course, said one, with an
experienced air; "the fat has set of
speaking tubes and whistles and bells
and things. When you want to get in
you ring the bell and the door clacks,
and you go in before the clacking stops.
At an apartment house there Is a hall
boy to let you in, and usually an ele-
vator and telephone besides
mo, you're wrong" came from a
tired-looking little woman in a corner.
Those are only mere surface differ
ences. A fiat and an apartment may
both have none or all of those things
The only real, heartrending difference
is this: In fiat, it is not considered
heinous crime to have children; in
an apartment it is That's all. I've
been hunting vines and fig trees late
ly myself, and | know. None of the
fig trees looked at would tolerate my
olive branches; guess they don't grow in
the same gardens any more outside of
the Bible"

NEW IDEAS ON sUNsrRoKE.
After-Dinner Work In stagnant Heal
Produces Exhaustion-Wom
Are the worst Sufferers.

"Stagnant indoor heat is more OPP
pressive than outdoor heat" writes DR.
f. l.. Oswald, in the Home Science Maya
zine. Indoor warmth, intensified by
stove fires, often approaches the horrors
of the Calcutta black hole, or the sweltei
den OF Dante's Inferno; and to that com
bination Of discomforts civilized men
doom their sisters and mothers. In
midsummer the sunstroke wards Of New
England hospitals are crowded with male
patients, who often have worked only Oh
the shady side of the streets, and with q
still larger number of women, who cam
not plead guilty to outdoor imprudence
of any kind They have been overcome
by the heat, and in nine out OF ten cases
by the afternoon heat of i'll ventilated
kitchens and Mushrooms, dining-rooms
and nurseries, by Initiated air cooperat-
ing with the exhausting effects Of high
temperature, at time when the resist
Ing ability of the system was impaired
by the exigencies Of digestion. In other
words, sunstrokes and all their pre-
monitory symptoms are the effects Of
hard after-dinner work in warm wealth.

CHECKS WERE WORTHLESS
]. R. Herr Issues Paper on Eliza
BEETHOVEN Bank.
NE HAD MONEY ON DEPOSIT
Explains That His Funds Were Withheld
By the Bark 10 Pay Note
Not Yet Due.

Mr.. J. X. Herr. stock buver who
residence is at EiizAbethtcwp. Pa.
has lately become involved il financial
difficulties which have are source OF
concern to several farmers in Berkeley
county.
Mr. Herr has travelled through this
section for the past five wears, buying
horses and cattle for the eastern mar
kets, and he is known to nearly every
farmer in the county. Last week he
paid his regular visit to this section,
buving horses and cattle to the amount
of several thousand dollars.
In about a dozen instances on this
trip he paid for his purchases through
the medium of checks on the Eliza
BEETHOVEN pa. National bank. These
checks to the amount of 81, 400 were
cashed by the PEOPLES Trust Co., OF
this city, without question. and for
warded to Elizabethtown for collec-
ton. In few DAYS the checks were
returned to the bank here with the
statement that Mr.. Herr had DO money
or deposit in theJbank on which the
checks had been drawn, and that the
paper was worthless.
The bank here notified the gentle.
men who had presented the checks
that payment had been refused at
Elizabethtown, and arrangements were
at once made to protect the bank here,
SO that no loss will fall on that insti.
tuition.
In the meantime Mr. Herr had left
the county for parts unknown, and his
disappearance caused some uneasiness
among those to whom he had given
the checks in payment. However. a
day or two ago letter was received
here from Mr. Herr at Elizabethtown.
in which he offered an explanation of
what was beginning to appear in the
light of questionable transaction.
Mr.. Harr states,in mis- letter that he
had funds in the Elizabethtown bank
sufficient to cover the aggregate
amount of the checks, but that with
out his knowledge the bank hypothe-
Gated the amount to his credit in order
to paw note which the bank held
against Mr. Herr. but which would
not be due until November 2. Then
when the checks came on from Mar
tinsburg the bank returned them with
the statement that he had no funds
there. This, Mr.. Herr saws, puts him
in a false position with the people of
Berkeley county.
At the bank here Saturday an official
stated that many thousand dollars
worth of Mr.. Herr's checks had passed
through that institution during the
past five years, and that this is the
first time any trouble has been expe-
rienced. The official could not state
what arrangements had been made by
Mr.. Herr to pay the checks.
Mr. Herr has friends in this county
who say he will come out of the pres
ent difficulty in good shape.

Worlds Work.
1t was necessary to carry the road
bed for miles through galleries cut In
the solid face of the rock, and the
workmen engaged in cutting the gall

cages from the cliffs above. More than
60 tunnels had to be cut in the course OF
construction, one the famous Galera
tunnel, one and one-half miles in length,
the highest engineering project Of Its
kind on earth.
1t is on this road that the signal
achievement Of constructing lofty steel
bridge connecting two tunnels was ac-
complished. In building this bridge,
which spans a crevice 5T5feet wide and
hundreds of feet deep. it was necessary
to lower all material from the top OF
the cliffs by wire cables. The whole
stupendous task was made possible only
by the liberal use of the ~ switch or
"switchback." In one instance of the
Peruvian railroad 1t was found neces-
sary to construct a switchhack In the
