SUMMER COLONIES HAVE
 ADAPTED COUNTRY CLUB
 LIFE IN MOUNTAIN INNS
BY ANNIE KEN pRIcK WALKER.

Asheville, N. C., August 22.-(Special.)- A touch of autumn has come upon these mountains with late August days. Au- tumn fires are lighted of late evening, and the summer toilette has the addition of the autumn coat when not entirely suc- ceeded by the early fall gown.
 This brilliant touch seen in the autumn foliage has its reflection in the bright complexions of pretty women dismounting from their horses after an early morning eanter on mountain boulevards. There can be no doubt of the genuine bloom on few weeks in this glorious climate. She may come looking pale and delicate and declaring that she is looking for absolute rest to repair the ravages of the winter in town, but after a short time in these mountains she feels equal to resume again social activities in town and looks the very picture of health.
 She gives all credit to the climate, to her long walks, to horseback riding, and one glance at her bright color eonvinees one that it is not the reflection alone of the cerisse wings on her hat or of the raspberry tinted gown she wears to lunch con.
 On the other hand, the club man who burned like an Indian attributes his healthy look entirely to golf. He has leis- ure in which to play his favorite game

The Vanity of convicts.
,,a col,,mhus Dispatch.

From the Columbus Dispatch
 "The vainest lot of men ever oia know are behind those bars" remarked a convict in the penitentary. "For fas- tidious dressing and cleanliness nave never seen anything like it. Those who have been accustomed to sleeking up on the outside grow much worse In here and those who never even combed thels hair on the outside have it as cleanly parted as they can. I know of a hund- red instances where convicts have risked being padded or having time taken away just for the sake of shaving. They get hold of a razor, or improvise one, and keep it in their cells. They all have mirrors in their cells along with the calendars.
 'I know of one instance of trusted prisoner who begged for weeks to be al lowed to wear a hat instead of the pris- on cap because he thought he did not look well In it. Whenever they get an opportunity they press their trousers. They save collars for Sunday and appear very clean and neat and nice in chapel. I guess it is all because they have time to think about themselves more than ev- CT. If man has nothing but himself to think about he takes more pride in himself. Or, maybe they want some thing with which to pass away the time in their cells"

and declares that if he had the same leis- ure at home he would be equally as tanned and a fine specimen of the outdoor man. Climate, the superb weather, is all necessary in it's way he admits, but-golf, golf under any skies is what a man needs to keep him in good trim.
 To man alone then is conceded the pop ularity of golf, although many women play on the Swannanoa links.
 The golf links of the Swannanoa Coun- try club practically adjoin Albemarle park The new club house has been the rendezvous all summer of society.
 With the coming of autumn the shoot ing season begins. Good quail shooting may be found all round Asheville in sea son, and guides together with well-trained dogs are always at the disposal of shoot ing parties The Asheville Gun club holds frequent meets and the sport of clay pi- geon shooting is much enjoyed by the members of the club.
 One of the most interesting develop ments in summer hotel life in the south is evolving a country club out of the sum- mer colony, phase of living long popu- lar at many of the northern places. The Manor much frequented by south erners is an illustration of this country club idea The summer colony here lives in it's cottages and of course, the pretty English looking inn, quite like a club house, is filled with guests Surrounded by

a park of S5 acres, all of the ''hotel fea- lures" seem quite eliminated, and when the wood fires are lighted these evenings one gets the idea of a perfectly appointed clubhouse.
 And just as at the country clubs there are many guests who do not care for bil- lizards or pool, clock golf and other games, the comfortable reading rooms and the big living room with its cosy fire is inviting enough to them.
 A golfer tells that the links here are be- coming known as the finest in the coun- try. The club has 1S0 acres at the foot of Sunset mountain, on which has been laid out a nine-hole golf course of 3047 yards. There are but few artificial haz- ards except on three or four holes, where the greens must be protected to add to the sport of the game. There are no impossi- ble holes, yet the length and natural lay of the ground Is such that only two play CTS have ever made the bogey score of 41, and only one has ever beaten that, he having made the splendid record of 40 in tournament play of the Southern cham pionship.
 If you chance to meet the golf enthusi- ast-all that you can do is to sit still and listen. While he is at the height of his enthusiasm l try to remember a few things to later put in these notes and then find that 1 have forgotten the most Inter esting points.
 It Is the same way with the motor en- thusast. You have to sit still and listen. Once more I think 1 will remember some of the most interesting motor records to fill out these notes, and find again that l shall have to take a course in motoring

 Every physician in the health depart ment, from Dr. Darlington down, must have known that muffler slightly sat urated with creosote, covering the mouth and nostrils, would have steriliZed the air taken into the lungs of these pa tient useful workmen In short, they would have been saved from consumption and a number of equally contagious af- fections of the throat and intestinal canal
 Before passing from this theme we feel bound to talk of the heroism and self sacrifice shown by the physicians of the world in dealing with this and other dan- gerous diseases. All of us recall the splendid courage shown by the young men who rsked their lives to settle questions regarding the transmission or yellow fever by mosuuitoes Never did volun- teers for a forlorn hope, in the face of an enemy, show more true courage. oeNeIai of the brave fellows lost their lives TOT the safety of the rest of the human laih- fly. .
 The annual convention of this body in Madrid. two years ago, cost the profess sion in New York one of its most valued members, the late Dr. A. w. Macdonald. While in Spain he visited a score Of nos nitals for the treatment of the 'Whlte

 Throughout life that had extenaeo nast middle age he had been wnony llse from any affection of the lungs but some of the deadly parasites seized hold upon a slight internal irritation, due to a eold contracted In a period of bad weather and. before he realized his danger pr, MacDonald became fatally Ill. lie a,io | passed a sad afternoon together, III "lioi' ha toId me the hopelessness of his case.

 The case of the late William Annln' president of the Gridiron club or Wasn ington, was another instance or con'ae ioli, and the calmness with which he discusseu his approaching end was solemnity ih- comparable with anything since the tlnle of Socrates in the presence of the po"i of hemlock.

before I can write intelligently on the sub
 ject l suppose I had better steer from
 golf subjects and motoring. The climate
 here may be conducive to both, but for
 those who neither motor nor golf to any
 great extent the climate does not assist the memory particularly on subjects of
 which you know little.
 But the latest thing nowadays is for you to be equipped with little printed slips of your records at golf, or motor
 nig. or of your jokes, or whatever happens
 to be your speciality. These may be dis tributed whenever the occasion calls for them. clever man who was always be- ing asked to renoat ''s jokes originated the idea of printed slips
