Liked the Business.

A young financier, aged four, who
was given five cents for every mouse
caught in a small trap, finally asked
leave to spend the proceeds. The
nurse was told to go wherever he led
her, to see what he proposed buying.
He passed all the toy and candy shops,
but paused before hardware store,
and, pointing to the window, exclaim-
ed, triumphantly: II buy more mouse

There is a beauty and attractive
ness in health which is far greater
than mere regularity of feature.
A sickly, irritable, and complaining
woman always carries q cloud of
depression with her; she is not only
unhappy herself but is a damper to
all Joy and happiness when with her
family and friends.
It is the bright, healthy, vivacious
woman who always charms and carries
sunshine wherever she goes.
If woman finds that her energies
are tagging and that everything tires
her; if her feminine system fails to
perform its allotted duties, there is
nervousness, sleeplessness, faintness,
backache, headache, bearing down
pains, and irregularities, causing
constant misery and melancholia,

They usually beat us playing golf,
as the fate of Byers revealed at the
amateur championship, but the Brit
ishers are taking up one by one the
methods of America in conducting
tournaments. Only the 60 who quail
fed in a preceding 36-hole round could
start in the recent open championship
at Holyoke, the innovation being based
on American ideas, and now the i've
clubs that rule the game and the anna
teur championship abroad have taken
steps to weed out the starters in that
competition. The delegates were in
structed at St. Andrews to get the
opinion of their clubs on two sugges-
lions. One is to limit the amateur
championship to scratch players; the
other to have qualifying medal play
round. The delegates will come to the
next annual meeting, which will be
held at Sandwich during the amateur
championship, prepared to vote on the
two propositions. The action they
take will influence the amateur cham
pionship Of 1909, for they do not rush
things over there. There were 200
entries at st. Andrews, and there will
be as many at Sandwich next May, SO
that the necessity Of wedding out is
apparent. To permit only the scratch
players of clubs to enter will hardly
be feasible, for the bane of champion
ships is the puffed-up scratch players
from small and easy links, who would
get six or eight strokes at good
course. The qualifying round dis
poses Of these misguided candidates
and leaves it quota of golfers COM
petent to wage a good fight for the
title. To adopt qualifying round
will take the wind from the sails of
certain leaders in American golf legis-
lation who have fought the prelim-
mary score play as bad and pernicious.
In 1903 they prevailed, and our anna
teur championship Of that year was
at match play alone, and dreary
tournament it was for the first two
days. The many changes in our
method-for hardly year has passed
without some different plan being
tried-have been due to the efforts of
these match play enthusiasts to kill
off the qualifying play round. S. Y.
Heebner, of Philadelphia, has done
more than any other committeeman
to have the qualifying round retained.
He has supported it through thick and
thin for ten years as the most prac-
teal way of wedding out a cumber-
some number of entrants. The argu-
ment that "they arrange matters bet
ter abroad" will be lost to the Ameri-
can malcontents should the Britishers
take up qualifying round.

Tucumcari is the largest city
and county seat Of the comparative

the most prosperous and rapidly
growing towns in New Mexico, and,
aside from the importance which 1t
secures on account of it being the
junction Of the Rock Island and the
Ell Paso & Southwestern and the
Dawson branch, the surrounding
country is homesteaded for miles
in every direction by means OF dry
farming and pumping; the whole
section bids fair to become thickly
settled with actual home makers at
an early date.
1t is only about four years old,
yet there is a population estimated
at between 1900 and 5000. The
Choctaw route, a Rock Island prop
erty, is building between Amarillo
and Tucumcari and before a year
is passed it will have made its en-
trance into Tucumcari. This will
make it one Of the biggest railroad
centers in New Mexico, and indeed
it is not far from that now, the

of over 2,2oo cars. Here the Daw-

toad is the small boy. Bands of

A Gresham Bishop"
From Tit-Bits.

From Ilt-bltS
The Bishop Of London is a strong advo-
cate of the open air life. In spite Of his
heavy duties he manages to spend a few
hours on the golf links every week. and
often plays tennis for an hour before din
ner. Moreover, he never lets a year pass
without going into camp for day or two
with the London Rifle Brigade, Of which
corps he is the chaplain. Not only, how
ever. does the bishop spend as much time
as possible out of doors. but he counsels
every one else to do the same. A short
time ago he went to visit one of his
clergymen, who, it was feared, was suffer
ing from consumption. The bishop looked
at him and said. Consumption? Non
sense! What you should do is to get
away from your slums for an hour or two
every day. Get bicycle and use it, The
parish. however, was very poor one.
and the cash was not available for BIZ
cycle, and so much was limited to the
bishop. A few days afterward a hand
some new bicycle arrived at the wears
house, with nothing whatever to denote
where 1t had come from. There is more
than suspicion. however, that the bishop
knows something about it. :
