The sunburned Kid.

Recollect him, do you, mister,
When the fellers used to swim,
The plump boy whose back 'ud bliste
When the SUMS rays got at him?
Member how some Teller holder
Than the rest ''ud softly slip
Up behind an slap his shoulder,
AS he fixed to take a dip?
Recollect the way he hollered
At the Smartin of his back
An the threatenin' that follered
Fer the boy who gave the whack?
Member then. when all was quiet,
In the water while he'd play,
How some other boy 'ud try 1t,
An then dive to get away?
Member when you all were Gressin'
How that boy 'ud watch each one?
Recollect, you kept him guessin',
Slappin at him just fer fun?
Now an then his first 'ud get you.
But you laughed, of course you did.
Those were happy times, you bet you,
Less you were the sunburned kid.

Some people. like the bee. we find
Will toll all day with patient skill;
Or. with the Industrious ant in mind
Will labor up the steepest hill.
Some endlessy will grind a mill
Or run q factory or steamer:
Others a fallow field will till
I'd rather be an idle dreamer.
Some may be of a studious mind
And all night long, till morning chill
At ponderouS, muSty tones they'll grind
Until from oVerwork they're i'll;
They'll analyze a fish's gill,
Or learn the habits of the lemur,
Or trace the platypus' bill
I'd rather be an idle dreamer.
Some think that in their souls enshrined
Fair genius sits, with throb and thrill
Ger myriad pages closely lined,
All feverishly they push a quill
I'd rather hear the woodbird's trill
Or watch a lazy. floating streamer:
OF all fair things. had l my will,

IS GOLFER MANS ENEMY?
An Answer to the Question That Won
a Cash Prize.

Cash Prize.
Prime Minister Balfour has describ-
ed the drive at golf and the half volley
at cricket as giving sensations almost
aesthetic in intensity and quality. Vol
umes have been written to define ev-
cry phase of golf and to analyze every
stroke, from the practical to the ar
tist1c viewpoint, but it remained for
the English periodical, Tit-Bits, to
PROFOUND the extraordinary conun-
drum, rs the golfer the enemy of
MANI" The one pound prize has been
awarded to the following answer, sent
IN by V. Sutherland of Pendle road,
Streatham, London, who deserves to
be famous
Certainly not" says Mr.. Suther-
land. "Of all games golf is the one
which, owing to it's supreme diff
Guilty, calls forth the qualities of per-
severance and logged endeayor to
the highest pitch. 1t is also one of
the healthiest of all games, inasmuch
as the exercise is not so compressed
in point of time as to become too hot
and strong. It Is usually played in
the healthiest spots where the air is
purest and freshest 1t is for young
and old alike, for sunshine and rain,
aye, even for snow; and it can be
played by "a man alone if he cannot

tally game which demands quail
ties of head as well as of hand, in

is such worry to play that it forms
such a fine antidote for the ordinary
workaday worries, for one is so wor-

Stewart Edward Whites Honeymoon.
Stewart Edward White, who last
spring achieved the climax of a life
of hazard and wild experience by mar
rying a Newport girl" as newspaper
observed, has been enjoying the
unique honeymoon after 1.-THE Virgin
ian pattern.
He and his wife have been camping
alone, far from any sort of civiliza-
ton, in the wilds of the Sierras AL
though this is Mrs. Whites first ex-
perience in out-of-door living, she
sends back word of enthusiastic de-
light with it all. She sleeps on the
ground, eats camp fare with relish
and thoroughly enters into the spirit
Of the life so wildly described in her
husbands books.
