Youthful Sport.

There is a certain Western Congress-
man, a golf enthusiast, who when he
came to Washington for the first time
was accustomed to get to the Chevy
Chase clubs links early in the morn
ing, when there would be no one to
witness his lack of skill,
On one occasion a caddie had fol-
lowed him to the tee and offered to go
the course with him for the modest
compensation of so cents.
u don't need you, my boy, said the
representative, III go it alone. and
as he spoke the Westerner, making a
tremendous swipe at the ball, missed
it by foot.
IN so around with you for a quar-
ter. sir, said the caddie.
Again the amateur declined the cad
dies attendance; and again he swung
at the ball, with the same result.
III so with you for IS cents" said
the boy.
This so ratified the newcomer that
he made three more wild swings. The
caddie, as he retreated a bit called
out:
