SYMPATHY FOR THE CALF.

When homeward came the prodigal
Who'd wandered far away,
And spent in riotous living
His substance day by day.
And said he was not worthy
To be called his fathers son.
And asked for husks and servants hire
To atone for what he'd done.
When hearts welled up with gladness
And smiles a greeting gave
This prodigal repentant-
This most detected knave-
VIII you tell me who alone bewailed
That unexpected scene,
Whose eyes filled up with briny tears.
Who knew a sorrow keen?
There was one whom none could comfort
Out on the farm that day,
Who had no joy to celebrate,
Who would the feast delay;
He certainly knew real misery
The bitterest cup to quaff-
And I've always felt a sorrow for
That unfortunate fatted calf!

as partners, or it may be played as a
progressive game with several tables.
Miniature fishing rods must be pro-
vided and tiny wooden fishes, at least
ten fishes for each person. The fishes
should be numbered from one up, con-
secutively, and each should have a
little ring attached, by which it may
be caught on the hook. If it be incon-

ly, "but because the lad had sense. His
instincts point to the paths OF high
finance and you'll find him there some
day.
Thomas H. Smith, general manager
of the T. H. & S. railroad, was the hero
Of the tale. Neither his name, the name
of his road nor the name of the victim
is real. He was self-made man, and
had little use for those artificialities
that are to human society what veneer
is to furniture-a mask for scars and
coarse grain. Percival H. Livingston
was his antithesis He was a director
of the big system that looked on Presi-
dent Smith with awe. Also he was
from New York-he called it Moo Yawk
and represented banking firm that
swayed the street
This fellow makes me tired" said
Smith, combatively, one day as he sat
on the clubhouse veranda. We've got
to take him down. I'm gettin' sick of
hearing Of Moo Yawk' and how crude
and half-baked Chicago is l only wish
there was some one here that could
beat him at golf, but he's one too many
for us!"
Now President Smiths game at golf
was an unknown quantity. His girth
was ample, and he never was known
to toll in the sun behind a bounding
ball. Rather he caused a drought in
the stewards pantry, and when he left
after his occasional visits he left be-
hind many weary waiter worn out in
answering his call for Scotch, with
some ice and trifie of lemon in it!'
And he considered he had done his duty
by the noble and ancient game.
So Ontwentsia was surprised to hear
him in heated argument with Living
ston one afternoon, when even the
hardened players had surrendered to
the midsummer sun.
Maybe you think can't play!' said
President Smith. "Why-why, if l
couldn't beat the life out of any diet
tante player from the effete east I'd
eat my shirt"
He was apoplectic.
We'll. really l cawn't understand
how you keep in FORM" drawled Liv-
ingston. Il wouldn't have you devour
your shirt, my dear sir, but I'll wager
the best dinner we can get in Chicago
If there are good dinners to be had
here-that l can defeat you in Is holes,
and I'll give you handicap at that,
don't you know
Handicap" snorted Smith, angrily.
Handicap! You make me laugh. Twas
going to offer to discount you, but wen
play even. And right here let me tell
you that you can get dinner right in
little old Chicago that will make Del
monico look like the genius in charge
of cowboys chuck wagon"
And thus the game was arranged.
Smith spent some time with his cad
die on the first green, engaged in earnest
converse. Livingston was changing his
clothes in the clubhouse. When the
New Yorker appeared he smiled super
ciliously on Smith.
Better get into your golf clothes, old
man." he said, patronizingly.' Smith
eyed him.
These flannels are all right" he said
pleasantly. will you driver"
Livingston drove. With a perfec,
follow through he sent the bali a
good 175 yards. The little crowd that
stood around the tee murmured its adj
miration Of his style. When he had
marked down. his ball he stepped
aside. Smiths caddie ''teeded" the bail
and Smith seized his driver awkward

The game continues until a pond II
