Golf hereafter may be known as the

George e. Colby of Irving Park, Chi

Scottish pastime affords not only rec
reation for the player, but also relief
from the effects of hay fever. saws the
Chicago Tribune. No one, he asserts,
need suffer longer from the malady, for
the playing OF the game Of golf, he de-
clares, will cure it.

Colby the other night "To show how
convinced | am in my belief / offer to
take any fever victim, give HIN rcgu-
lar exercise at golf and cure him of the
disease without fail.

the exercise with the right spirit four

troubled with the fever again"

The Celebrated BIarney stone.

Five miles west of the city of Cork.
where two streams meet, is the little
valley Of Barney, with its castle. The
fame of the castle is worldwide, for.
high on the northeastern side Of the
building, is set the famous "blarney
stone" 1t is said that the person adj
venturous enough to reach it and who
has the faith to kiss it will henceforth
have wonderful gift. Honeyed words
will flow from his lips, and persuasive
powers will hang on his utterances
He will win his way anywhere and
among all people simply because he
has kissed the blarney stone."
In order to be exact in the matter it
Il necessary to mention the fact that
Barney castle has two stones In it's
makeup each of which is claimed to
be the real talisman. The one first
mentioned above as being set on the
northeastern wall of the building bears
the date of erection of the castle,
which is 1446. The other is on the roof.
It is about two feet square and bears
the date Of 1903. In order to kiss the
first mentioned stone the votary must
be let down from the top of the build
Ing some twenty feet by means of
ropes. This has the effect Of making
most every one believe or pretend to
believe that the one on the roof, which
Ii within easy access, is the true blar-
ney stone.

CAPTURE OF CATTLE PEST.
Big Black Wolf That Evaded OklahO-

Big Black Wolf That Evaded OllahO-
ma Ranchmen For Two Years.
Cattlemen in eastern Beaver county,
In Oklahoma, and across the state line
In Kansas are congratulating them
selves upon the capture of one Of the
biggest and most destructive black
wolves seen in this portion Of Okla
homa in many years, says a Beaver
dispatch to the Kansas City Star. This
wolf appeared on the range about two
years ago. His favorite rendezvous
was the ranch Of M. 0. banks in the
neighborhood Of Nye.
The marauder's range covered a
scope Of country thirty or forty miles
square, including both Kansas and Ok
lahoma. In the last two years he was
target for almost every cowboy s
pistol or Winchester, but nobody sue
ceeded in killing him.
The capture of the wolf was largely
an accident. A cowboy named Meyer
jumped the beast suddenly in small
ravine, and then spurred his horse in
pursuit of the wolf. The pace was
lStSl, ullu My cIN was ClOSc upOu tlC
animal when he suddenly dropped his
rope over the VOLTS head. Meyer
found it impossible to dismount and
tie the wolf and, having no pistol,
could not kill him. The wolf was
dragged, snarling and fighting, to the
ranch. In his struggles he was wound
ed by sharp stones, the wounds caus-
ing the death of the wolf several days
later
This wolf killed not less than TWEEN

on my ranch" said Mr.. banks .Sev-
eral cowmen in Kansas We're losing a

Thinking that there might be a gray
wolf den in the neighborhood, they be-
gan searching for it. They found .

whelps. Their father was this big

a pack Of six coyotes, who followed
him to feed on the carcasses of cattle

PULQUE MAGUEY.
The Plant From which MexicO's Wa-
tiOnaI Drink Is Made.

1
tionaI Drink Is Made.
Pulque, which is the national drink
Of the MeSicans, is made from the sap
Of a giant species of agaye, the flesly
leaves of which are sometimes nine
feet long and weigh over hundred
pounds each. Each plant bears from
twenty-five to fifty leaves around a
massive feshy base, and the largest
ones weigh from one to two TONS
apiece
This puique maguey, as it is called,
thrives best at a high altitude on the
pelniarid plains, Of the Mexican table
bands. The valley of Mexico is the
center of its cultivation. and many e1-
tensive plantations are devoted entire
" to growing it. yielding large rev.
enues to their owners. The plants when
two or three years old are set out in
long parallel rows and reach maturity
in from twelve to fourteen years. In
orGer to insure succession of haryests.
new settings are planted yearly.
The great feshy leaves spend all the
years of their inlmaturity in storing TIP
quantities OF sweet sap. At the cxDira
ton of this long interval, which might
almost be called a period of incuba
ton, remarkable change occurs. The
plant has then attained the supreme
moment toward which all the hoarding
Of sap during the past years has beea
directed, the character OF its activ..i
changes, and with marvellous rapidity
q gigantic central flower stalk shoois
up into the air from twenty to fifty
feet.
The flower stalk, which is sometimes
A foot in diameter at the bottom, is fed
generously on the store Of sap in the.
oase and leaves. It's upper end throws
,ut branches like a candelabrum and
yreenish white flowers spring forth ii
clusters. Humming birds, orioles and
TariouS kinds of insects also attracted
by the nectar of the blossoms pass
from plant to plant and thus insure
fertilization. After the seeds form. the
leaves and base, having exhausted
themselves in this final effort, wither
and die
This is the ordinary course of pro-
cedure, but it would not suit the plant
er, who at the critical moment, when
the maguey is on the point of sending
up its flower stalk, cuts out the center
Of the plant, leaving bowl shaped
cavity, into which the stored sap runs.
This sap, being fermented, is the
pulque of commerce.
q
pulque runs up to millions Of dollars.
There is another kind of agave from
which the Mexicans get much more
powerful alcoholic drink, known as
mescal. 81

RUSSIA HELPLESS.
Her Plight Worse if She Does Not
Yield, Says Hayash.

London. Aug. 1I.-Baron Hayash the Japan
csc Minister TO Great Britain, declared to-day
that the pessimistic dispatches from Portsmouth
were not worthy of considera tion
IF the war continues" said he, "our forces
will capture Vladivostok and Harbin, ia king
by force territory of greater value than the pay
ments demanded by Japan. after which our
army will intrench advantageous line, from
which it will require treble the number of the
enemy to dislodge
We do not fear the threat proclaimed in in
spired articles that the war will become pop
ular in Russia. Even If It should, how the
vast army necessary to drive back be sus
tanned by a government that is unable to OBJ
tain foreign loans, while it's Attempts at home
meet with only partial success, and famine and
disaffection threaten the country.
THE inspired dispatches contend that the Rus
sian people would not suffer a sacrifice OF Sag
haen, but the retention of Saghalien by Japan
is a greater point of honor to the Japanese. It
was once an integral part of the Japanese en-
pre while it has never been more than an out
post province to Russia
Baron Hayashi said that the penipotentaries
on both sides possess full power to conclude
peace, and that the ratification of the terms
would only be matter of formality. He added
that he has been receiving full advices of the
proceedings daily.

1t was learned at midnight that in the con-

times manifested sort of desire to couple con-

indicate a Willingness 10 bargain at the end.
The Russians watched these moves with great
interest. waiting for their adversaries to press
them. but without showing their hands Mr..
sato is quoted as saying that the japanese will
tomorrow propose again taking up the articles
which have been passed over. II that is the
case the Japanese may have decided openly TO
