Sam was afraid of the Major, and in
a short time he was following that ex-
cellent man into Buxton's store. When
they came out presently, the Major had
a bundle in his arms.
Now bring my buggy over here,
and tell me where you live" he COM
manded, and Ill see what | can do
about settling a family difficulty"
Sam obeyed after the manner of his
race under old-time conditions, and the
Major drove off down the shady street,
leaving Sam watching him with a SINNER

trouble.
Not far off, the Major came to a neat
little cottage with a flowery yard in front,
and pulling up at the gate he gave the
usual Hello, the housed" Not a
cheerfullooking young colored woman
stuck her head out of the door.

s%alutation.

sponded, for all the colored people knew

had the right to command, and stood by
the buggy waiting to hear what he had
come for.

Yes, but / made him do it / made

griness and tore a hole in the paper to
see what it was like. Apparently she

through the shadows and her face cleared.

at the Majors way of putting it.

his horse.
Liza felt that there was something
in the nature of thanks to be extended
to the Major for his good Offices; but
she was not sure what she should say
that would be most appropriate

administered by the indignant Monahan.
This happens regularly every day they
play, and Monahan exacts revenge by
administering terrific oeatings to Duff.
The %latter's golf costume is absolute per-
lection, while Monahan looks like a
tramp. Duff's clubs glisten so that you
can see them half a mile away, while
Monahan's seldom are cleaned once a
month.
All of which proves that YOU true
golfer has small use for leisure, or for
petty conventionalities when a game is
at hand or in progress. / have seen
Duff come to the links and loaf around
all the afternoon, idly watching other
players as if the game had only passing
interest to him. Monahan could no
more do this than could he idlv sit in
front of a we1l-cooked steak when he is
hungry.
Neither can L.
| do not mean to infer that a slow or
deliberate person will not make a good
player. Far from it. but with his delib-
Grafton he must lave that keen interest
which dominates all of his faculties.
Marshall, Tor instance. IS the slowest
player / ever saw. He averages four
practice-strokes before every shot. He
has become so addicted to practice
strokes that he makes a series of pre-
liminary before carving a
steak, and he raises his glass and sets
it down several times before taking a
drink. But he is a good player.

yards away, and as | studied those who
came on the one-forty-two train from the
city the thought occurred to me that
could pick out the real golfers even had
| been a stranger to those who approached
the clubhouse.
For instance, there were two members
who left the platform at the same time
Duff and Monahan. Both are men of
standing in the community, and both are
charter members. They started to learn
the game at about the same time, and
both play at least five afternoons every
week during the season, yet Monahan
goes around in e~ighty-two and Duff in
about ninety-fve. Why this woeful in
ferioritv of Duff?
They are great friends, and always
play together; but the moment Monahan
left the train he headed for the club
house as If it was on fire with all of his
money in Its lockers. He had on a suit
which he has worn three years to my
certain knowledge. He barely nodded
to ne and Others who know him well,
and rushed upstairs. In less than two
minutes he was ready to play. As he
tore out he ran .cross Duff, who had
~complacently strolled up the walk,
stopping now and then to speak to a
friend OF watch a shot.
Duff's clothes were a model of fashion
and good taste. In his hand was twirled
a ane, and in his lapel was the inevitable
bo~utonuierc. He had paused to chat
with Miss Curtis-Duff is married and
has a daughter older than Miss Curtis
and was engaged in a discussion about a
new play when Monahan approached.
Did YOU come up here to play golf
or to pose or the veranda:' demanded
Monahan, grasping him by the shoulder
and swinging him halfway round. Go
away from him, Miss Curtis; he will talk
you TO death"
Twenty minutes later Duff wandered
leisurely out to the first tee, and smiled
complacen;lv during the tongue-lashing

READY FOR EMERGENCIES

CENATOR BLACKBURN tells of an ex-
- citing campaign in Kentucky in which
a certain Congressman was making a hot
fight for reelection against considerable oppo-
sition, not only from the other party but from
a faction in his own.
In the midst of an imprisoned plea for
his friends to stand by him in his hour of
need, the orator exclaimed fervidly:
Come what may, | am ready calmly to
meet any emergency that may arisel"
At this point the platform on which the
speaker stood collapsed, and hurled the
orator and many others to the ground. No
one was injured; but when the speaker was
elevated to a place from which he could
continue his effort, some one, with wicked
reference to the allusion calmly to meet any
emergency that may arise" asked:
How about that emergency, old mani"
Sir exclaimed the orator. with the
utmost dignity. "Sir, that emergency did
not arisei"

Surpassed by Brazil.

"The people of the United States drink
more coffee than any other nation on
EARTH. says a writer in the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, "but not as much in
proportion as the people of certain other
countries. When the difference in popu-
lation is taken into consideration, Brazil
far surpasses us as a country Of coffee
drinkers. Belgium and Holland also ex-
eel us in this respect.
"The consumption of coffee per capita
in Brazil is IA pounds each year, in Bull

true at least with regard to the exhibit

which may sometimes be a~en hauling
along as tough a looking specimen OF

wrong In failing to understand how any
person of g~entlemanly instincts can
fancy such dogs; but these are not bull
logs, any more than a mule is a race
horse. They are merely half-bred fight
ing terriers. Then the daily press is not
free from misleading the public, for
nearly every case Of attack on the part
Of q dog is ascribed to a savage bull
dog" whereas bulldogs are not savage
and are uneommonly poor fighters. Ten
acity OF grip, with all the strength of his
powerful Jaws, is about the end of the
bulldog as a fighter.
