 Good Gofine Form.

Chicago, July 25.-Guy A. Miller, former star pitcher of the University of Michi- gan baseball team today led field of sixty-f1ve entrants in the qualifying round of the seventh annual western golf championship at the Glenview links with a total of f57 strowes for thirty-six holes. Tied at 162 strokes were R. E. Hunter of Midlothian and W. E. Glow, Jr., of Owenn- sla. The former in the morning made a round in seventy-six. which was the best of the day, but requiring ten more in the afternoon spoiled good chance to cap ture the medal.
 The latter trophy went to Miller. Nat ional and Western Champion Chandler Egan was not in his usual good form, and took 16S strokes to negotiate the thirty six holes. This, however, enabled him to get we'll within the list of thirty-two qualihers for the first round of match play tomorrow. Twenty-eight clubs from Chicago to Denver on the west, Pittsburg on the east, and Nashville on the south, are represented on the field of players.

Humming Bird babies.

From the Country Calendar.
When | first crawled in among the bushes
close to the nest, the little mother darted at
me and poised foot from my nose, as II 70
stare me out of countenance. She looked
me all over from head to foot twice, then
she seemed convinced that 1 was harmless.
She whirled and sat on the nest edge. The
bantlings opened wide their hungry mouths.
She spread her tail like a flicker, and
braced herself against the nest side. She
craned her neck and drew her dagger-like
bill straight up above the nest. She plunged
it down the baby's throat to the hilt and
started series of gestures that seemed
fashioned TO puncture him to the toes. Then
she stabbed the other baby until it made
me shudder. 1t looked like the murder Of
the infants. But they were not mangled
and bloody; they We're getting a square
meal after the usual humming bird method
of reorganization. They ran out their slender
tongues to lick the honey from their lips.
How they liked it. Then she settled down
and ruff1ed up her breast feathers to let her
babies cuddle close to her naked bosom.
Occasionally, she reached under to caress
them with whsperings of mother love.

The Beagle as a House Dog.

From the Country Calendar.
In choosing a family dog (for the country,
l take it,, five points should be carefully
Observation-Disclosures, temperament, voice,
odor and quality of hair; for to fill this all
around position requires as eclectic COM
bination of attributes as to be adaptable
and generally useful in any other walk of
life. The hunting dog learns one trade, but
the family dog must know aalf a dozen;
and not only this, but he must be an inde-
pendent dog of gentlemanly manners and in
full control of his habits that he may have
the run of the place indoors and out, like
any other member of the family. In this
the family dog is distinct from the purely
pet animal, who, from receiving abnormal
care and the enervation of too much hui
maniZing, often degenerates into a nuisance
instead of developing and maintaining the
highest canine attributes that make him
both lovable and valuable.
In all these particulars the beagle will
stand the test. Even pack dog his
characteristics are manifold; but when he
is taken out of class drill. so to speak and
allowed scope for individual DEVELOPMENT,
the result is wonderful.

Mr.. Monaghan's Address.

Mr.. Monaghan, once consul to Ger
many referred to the introduction of our
system of commercial education into that
country.
1T is truly great credit to this coun-
try" he said, that Germany is going to
copy us in a branch of education. Ger
many is the country whose university
system is acknowledged by all the world
to be the best in history. And now they
are going to copy the commercial col
leges of America and introduce our syS-
tenn of training for business life. They
are also going to introduce our methods
of bookkeeping and other branches of
business activity. Napoleon once said
that the baton of a marshal of France lay
In the knapsack of every soldier in the
French army. And l may dare to point
to George B. Cortelyou as an example
for you of a man who has won his way,
and say that the portfolio of a cabinet
officer rests in the drawer of every stem
ographer and typewriter in this country,
and is to be had for the earnest striving.
Do not think that there Is an easy ME
ahead of you. The real life begins for
each and every one of you the moment
you leave the portals of this hall tonight
Tomorrow morning you Will have to be-
gin the real hard fight for life and the
top of the ladder.
