THE cADDY's COMMENT.
One That Was Not Very Compliment
tary to Professional
Player.

Walter ]. Travis, the golfer, set up
his ball, and then made half a dozen
swishes at the short grass with the
driver, relates the New York Tribune.
Il am not in good FORM" he said, II
am playing like broker we had here
last week.
"This broker played once around,
making a dreadful exhibition of him.
self. OF this, though, he was not
aware. He was doing pretty well for
him.
THE mans caddy was an unusually
quiet, stolid lad, boy with freckled
face quite devoid of expression.
And since the caddy never once
laughed or sneered at his bad play,
the broker took fancy to him. And
he said at the end of the round, In
the hope of getting compliment:
81 have been travelling for the last
Elk months. / am quite out of prac-
tice. That is why / am in such bad
form to-day
"The caddy replied, calmly:
Then we've played before, havo
ye sir?' -

ODD EATING CUSTOMS.

BraZilians never eat when they
drink, nor drink when they eat; and
the Tartars continually persist in pull
ing guest by the ear until he drinks.
Maldive islanders retire to the dark
est part of the houses and hang cur
tains about them, so that none Of
their fel.owmen may see them at their
meal.
When they desire to show a mark
OF great esteem, the negroes Of Ardra
drink from the same cup at the same
time, and the King of Loango used
to eat and drink in two separate
houses.
The Philippine islander will not eat
meal alone. Whenever a Filipino
f1nds himself without companion
with whom to share his meal, he will
abstain from eating until he has
found one.
A strange custom prevails in Kam-
chtaks, where a man who wishes to
entertsin guest invites him into a
cabin, which is heated to an excessive
temperature, and then presses him
with food until he is in state of tor
por. Instances of men dying at these
orgies have been known.
The Tahitians, though a naturally
sociable race, dine separately. Even
the man and his wife do not eat to-
gehter. Each member of the family
has his own food-basket They take
their places about five yards apart,
and then, turning their backs to each
other, dine amid a profound silence.

had been such decent prisoner, and
had been such good company, and had
been such help in digging the bullets
out of the wounded, that the gang was
going to let us go free, without TAX
ing a cent from us, but was going to
consider us honorary members of the
gang and divide the money they had
secured in the last hold up with us.
Pa said be wanted his liberty, and
thanked the leader for his kind words,
but he said there was strong feeling
in the east against truly good people
like himself taking tainted money,
and while he would not want to make
a comparison between the methods
men adopt to secure tainted money, in
business or highway robbery, he hoped
the gang to which he had been elected
an honorary member would not insist
on his carrying away any of the faint
ed money.
you are all right in theory, old
man." said the leader of the gang, "but
this money, which might have been
tainted when it was shipped by ex-
press from Wall street to the far west,
has been purified by passing through
our hands, where it has been carried
over mountain ranges on pack horses,
in billiards.. till every tainted germ
has bsen blown away. Now, we pro

felt like Robinson Crusoe on the
island
Some times for couple Of days the
robbers would go away to rob train
or stage coach, and leave us with a
few guards, who acted as though they
wanted us to try to escape, so they
could shoot us in the back, but we
stayed, and fried bacon and elk meat
and sighed for rescue.
One day the robbers came back from
a raid with piles of greenbacks as big
as bale of hay, and it was evident
they had robbed a train and been re-
sisted, because one man had bullet in
his thigh, and pa had to use his know
ledge of surgery to dig out the shot,
and he made big bluff at being sur
geon, and succeeded in getting the
balls out and healing up the sores, so
the bandits thought pa was great.
When he insisted that the leader let
him know how much it would be to
ransom US, so we could send to the cir
Gus for money, the leader told pa he
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-06-15

some one told him that Adam and Eve
were still alive, and running a stock
ranch UP in the Big Horn basin, he
would believe it, and if it came to him
as secret that Solomon in all his
glory was placer mining in a distant
valley over the mountains, he would
rush off to engage Solomon to drive
a chariot next year in his show. Such
an ability to absorb things that are
not so, in world where all men are
suspicious of each other, should be en-
couraged. This old man comes to our
quiet valley, where all is peace, and
where we are honest, fresh from the
wicked world, where grating is a sci
ence respected by many, and where the
bank robber who gets above a million
is seldom convicted and always re-
spected, while we, who only occasion
ally meet a train with red light and
pass the plate, and take up a slight
collection, are looked upon as men
who would commit a crime. Why.
gentlemen, our profession is more re-
spectacle than that of the man who
is appointed administrator of the es-
tate of his dead friend, and who blows
in the money and let's the widow and
orphan go to the poorhouse, or the Of
ficer of savings bank who borrows
thu money of the poor and when they

speeches. and then you will be provid-
ed with horses, supplies and money,
and guided away from here blindfold-
ed, and within 4S hours you will be

that you will never give us and. our
hiding place away to Billy Plnkerton.
Is it go?"
Pa said it was a 20 all light except
taking the tainted money, but ne
would think it over, and dream over IL,
and maybe take his share Of the swag,
but he wanted to be allowed to return
1t if, after calling q meeting OF MS
board of directors, they should refuse
to receive the tainted money. Pa add
ed that the board of directors OF cir
Gus might not be as particular as a
church or college, and he thought ne
could assure the gang that the money
would not come back to bother them.
The leader of the gang said that
would be all right, and for pa and l
and the boys to begin to pack up and
get ready to return to civilization and
all its wickedness. We worked all day
and played cinch for hundred dollar
bills all the evening, and the next day
arranged for the banquet.
When night came, and the pine
knots were lit in the cave, about Is
bandits and pa and / sat down to a
course banquet on the floor of the cave,
and ate and drank for an hour. We
had few dishes, except tin cups and
tin plates, but it was banquet all
right. The first course was soup,
served in cans, each man having can
of soup, with hole in the top, made
by driving a nail through the tin, and
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-06-15

we sucked the soup through the hole.
The next course was fish, each man
having a can of sardines, and we ate
them with hard tack Then we had a
game course, consisting of fried elk,
and then salad of canned baked
beans, and coffee with condensed milk,
and spoonful or two of condensed
milk for ice cream. When the banquet
was over the leader of the bandits
raped on the stone floor of the cave
with the butt of his revolver for at
tention, and, taking canteen of whis-
ky for loving cup, he drank to the
health of their distinguished guest.
and passed it around, so all might
drink, and then he spoke as follows:
Fellow Highway Robbers: We have
with us tonight one who comes from
the outside world, with all its wicked
ness, this old man, simple as child,
and yet foxy as the world goes, this
easy mark who is told that the dinas-
orus still exists, and believes it, and
comes to this valley to find it. If

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

10 Bring the Babies Around.
When little human machine Cor a
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection of food to
bring it around again.
my little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says a Coz
orado mother.
81 decided change might help, 81
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
When / reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although I
had never used the food, we got some
and for few days gave him just the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.
''That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later OF my girl
came, I raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is a strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph I send you what strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
All children can be built to more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food con-
tains the elements nature demands,
from which to make the soft gray
filing in the nerve centers and brain.
A well-fed brain and strong, sturdy
nerves absolutely insure healthy
body.

book, "The Road to WellviJle."

what you think of it? If it is good

The jeweler took the gem, which
was unset, and looked at 1t critically
for moment. Then in a confidential
tone he said:
We'll, to tell you the truth, that
isn't very good stone. 1t hasn't much
fire, it is badly cut, and there is some
thing here very much like q flaw"
Then he held the diamond under q mi

pect stone. Now, II you want some

Dinner should be of lighter nature
in summer than in winter.
A quart of wheat contains more nu-
triment than bushel of cucumbers.
There is happy mean between eat
ing everything and being squeamish.
Two pounds of potatoes contain as
much nutriment as ID pounds Of
turnips.
Light soups, light desserts and light
meals should have the preference in
warm weather.
Vegetables and fruits are to be used
most generously at that season Of the
year in which they naturally mature.
Beginning the dinner with soup il
the very best way to get the whole
system in condition for assimilatlnY
