$50, ,O00, 900 Yearly For Golf.

a. >A>s<-s
Would you imagine that something
like S50,OOO,OOO could be spent yearly
on the game of golf? 10 begin with,
there are $40 golf clubs in England,
76O in the United States, 632 in canny
Scotland, 134 in Ireland, forty-three in
Wales and sixty-three in different parts
of the continent. There are, all told,
probably not less than 5000 organiza-
tions devoted to golf playing.
These clubs, counting their grounds,
buildings and preliminary expenses.
represent a permanent investment Of
s4o,Ooo,oOo to $5o,Ooo,oo0; and compar-
ative!y few of them can be run at a
yearly expense of less than $4,000. The
average membership is about 2OO and
the average yearly subscriptions of
these 100000 golf players amounts
to nearly S2O,OOO,0OO. Each of the play.
ers is equipped with an outfit that costs
Oil an average about $40; and the year
ly purchase of golf clubs, all over the
world, amounts, therefore, to several
millions of dollars.-Springfeld Union.

Faithful Failures.

Such was the quaint description ap-
piled by Robert Louis Stevenson to all
human beings who had done their best
to do we'll in life. He felt that how
ever much we tried. we should hardly
be able to realize the highest ideals;
we should be failures, Judged by that
lofty standard, but we should at least
be faithful because we had done our
utmost.
To get on in life. speaking of mate
rial things only, is the desire Of every
one. vet it is only the minority who
do their best. There is lamentaole
lack Of determination, deficiency Of
grit" and go" in so many of us. We
see the object, We sigh for its attain
ment, we make spasmodic attempts
to reach it, but we shrink from taking
too much trouble about it, and we
cannot strive steadily and unswerv-
ingly for it. "'- -~' --""'- .''''-"'
Those are not the faithful failures.
We cannot impress too strongly upon
our children and upon those older ones
who are Just commencing life, that if
they would succeed in climbing the
ladder to any appreciable extent, they
must cultivate the quality of sticking
at ito use a popular phrase-and
that they must aim high. If we so
seldom reach the rung Of the ladder
which we have in view, and experience
teaches US that this is more frequent
than we like to believe. then it is bet
ter to fight for a still higher position.
The probability is that we shall fall
short of that position, but attain one
higher than would have been the case
had we not been aspiring.
Stevenson, doubtless, had the moral
side of things in view when writing
those words, but they apply equally
we'll to the material facts of life.

4 PARABLE OF PROGRESS.

Eaii tie paci1 pool TO the ripping rll,
As it a:.lcAed along on its way down the
hill:
''Oh, stay with me here. 1t Is foolish and
wrong
For You 20 forever be rushing along.
Stop here On the heights; for, as sure as
.you flow.
You viii only sink further and further be-
low.
You are noisy and boisterous: be quiet
and hear
The choir of the song-hirds caroiling near.
Be contented, my brother, and patiently
10 remain where the God of the clouds
N!ade yo;. lie
1t is wiser and easier far to lie still,'
Said the p.acid pool to the ripping rill.
Said the ripping rill to the piacid pool,
AS It lay IN the shadows so quiet and cool:
Il know it Is easy and pleasant to stay
In ones fower-circied bed on the hillside
a. day;
That each leap leaves me lower; and that,
as flow.
Some desert OF death may await me below.
Yet some spirit impe.S, in such magical
way.
That feel it is better 10 simply obey;
And, somehow, as onward leap in the
nlEEt,
Toward the strange, distant valley, know
it is right,
And that safety IS sure ii I keep natures
rue.
Said the ripping r;ll to the placid pool.
So the p.acid pool Jay selfish,y still,
Rejecting the stars and the sunshine, until
Its purity paid the high price of its peace;
Its water grew Sragnaut; its very hfe-eaSe
Was cancelled in Scorn by the sun over
head.
And the placid pool died in its flower
circied bed.
But the ripping rill. as it sped on its way.
Grew larger and stronger and deeper each
day.
The sunshine strewed gems on its breast
as it ran,
To do useful service or nature and man.
1t grew to river, and. when duty-free,
It found permanent peace in the infinite
sea.

Register.

to her very softly.

what you told uncle and me the other
day about nursing mamma when the
lady YOU see there" he pointed to the
prisoner. was asleep"
The silence that followed was broken
only by sobs from the auditors in the
room where women were weeping like
chidden children. Then a little shrill
voice broke out:
"She-she was sleepy in the chair
when nanny asked for her medicine"
What did nanny say:'
"She Said-she said. Dear, give me
my medicine. 1 ought to have had it
long ago. but Dora was sleepy-so
sleepy and-and couldn't give it to
her.
And what did you do, little one"
Counsel's voice trembled.
IL got the bottle, and poured cut
the stuff in glass"
She hesitated. looking frightened. A
kindly court attendant patted the fair
curls. and she continued:
"And Dora was so sleepy and was
so glad cause I could play doctor. 1t
was such fun. I climbed on the bed
and said so fiercely Open your mouth
and nanny opened her mouth and ]
made her drink all the stuff
"And what did nanny do?'
"Nutfin. She went sleepy again."
The unconscious little murderess lost
her grip of things and cried as if her
heart would break:
"Mamma-I want my mam1oa-my
mammar'
Tender hands carried the poor child
away.
Dora tainted when the jury, without
leaving the box. brought in verdict
of "Not guilty,"' and Jack took her
home in cab.
In the quiet of the house she recov-
cred. and went to her room and locked
herself in. Now that the trial was
over. the sense that she was a free
woman again swept over her and al
most crushed her. Jack paced silently
up and down the passage outside her
room for the remainder of that day
and all throyeh the long night. When
dawn broke he tapped gently, and the
door was opened from within.
Without word he lifted the girl in
his arms and kissed her tear-stained
face. And then suddenly he gave
low cry, for the beautiful reddish
golden hair, whose soft waves he had
so often caressed, lay in streaks across
a wrinkled brow, and in the place Of
the gold was the sheen of many silver

How to Water Plants.

1t is much wiser to give plenty of
water once every few days than a
little each day. The latter method
keeps the surface moist, and the roots
naturally rise for the moisture: so that

injured by the heat OF the following
day.

else just enough to wash the leaves.

Trained Ducks.

Elk. Masterson. a prominent farmer
of this county. has found way to rid
his vineyard of the grasshoppers which
have been invading the county in
countless thousands. Every evening
for several days he walked through his
VINEYARDS with fails. beating the grass
hoppers from the vines. A squad OF
$50 tame ducks followed him, picking
up the grasshoppers as fast as they
were brushed off the vines. In lew
days the pests left his place and his
loss was insignificant in comparison
with the losses sustained by other
farmers and vineyardists. Masterson
saws that with 1000 ducks he could
have driven the pests out of the entire
county.
