Some Shop Talk by Thirty-four GOLF
Immortals.

Some Shop Talk by Thirty-four Soit
ImmortaIs.
The tendency of golfers to talk
shop" has been remarked upon, and
the unfortunate layman who may have
happened to find himself In the COM
pany of a group Of them has been
known to remark upon 1t In terms
which he has afterwards regretted
when he has himself taken to the
links. But shop" is the best OF all
talks to the initiated, and the book.
Great Golfers in the Making. BY
Thirty-four Famous Players" is filled
with this from cover to cover. and will
be eagerly read by those who have
fallen victims to the fascination OF the
game, and need not be read at all by
the less fortunate.

hardly less notable to their credit,
They recount, with becoming modesty
and that sense Of good fellowship
which is the note of the true golfer,
how In divers places and in sundry
manners they learnt to beat the
world, and each other. For they have
all beaten one another at some time,
and at first sight 1t would almost
seem as IL each one of them had
climbed his way without serious oppo-
sition to the top of the tree. With
agreeable unanimity they contradict
one another upon every important de-
tail of the golfers education and prac-
tice. Mr.. John L. Low regrets the ad-
vent Of the Haskell ball. Willie, Park
and Ben Sayers claim to have antici-
pated some of its merits.

Harry vardon says that to become a
first class golfer you must be always
copying and practising. Edward Black

and never touched a club until he
came back, when he won the King
william w. medal at st. Andrews

thinks that the hitting of fine tee
shot with your driver is half the pleas
ure of the game, and adds: When a
man is in the mood and has the abil-
ity to hit a long ball he is not inclined
to bother about the extent to which 1t
pays him." These two opposing
views might perhaps serve as texts
for a sermon on the difference be-
tween British and American ideas Of
sport And finally, most OF these
giants of the links put their success
down to the fact that they were born
with a club in their hands," but Mr..

SIMPLE CURTAINS.

Such really beautiful curtains may
be bought nowadays for so little that
few women take the trouble to make
their own.
Sometimes. however, window is
of odd size, or the housekeeper may
not be able to find just the style OF
curtain she likes.
In such event she can make very
dainty, yet inexpensive, curtains from
white lawn or swiss. These may be
finished with a four-inch hem, finish
ed with a double row of hemstitching.
or 1t can have a plain hem, stitched
on the machine and edged with row
or two of coin dots done in satin
stitch In color.
A pretty effect for bedroom would
be to work these dots in two tones OF
the predominating shade In the wall
or carpet.
Another simple treatment OF lawn
curtains would be to draw over the
surface at somewhat wide intervals
large conventional figures, say
sprawly chrysanthemum, five-point-
ed star, or a single sunhower anu
work them in shadow stitch In two,
or even three colors.
For a yellow room, the chrysanthe-
mum design would be quite striking
done in three or even four shades
of yellow, with an occasional touch
20 rnccof hrnuyn
In working these curtains the mer-
cerized cottons should be used In pre-
ference to embroidery silk. They are
much less expensive, and washed
carefully will not fade any more easily
than the silks.
A double line of colored lawn
around the sides and bottom, with the
colored designs on the white lawn OF
the curtain proper, are both novel and
pretty.-Pittsburg Press.

GRATING ON THE TEACHERS.

In sending out warning letter to
the various boards of school trustees
of Mendocino county l.. W. Babcock,
county superintendent OF schools,
accuses the Cooperative Teachers
Association of Los Angeles and Oak
land with using dummies to drum up
business and with grating on the
teachers.
BaEcock says the association makes
applications for positions in the
schools nf this county, signing the
names of persons supposed to want
places as teachers. This enables the
association to learn of vacancies, aud
Babcock states that the teacher who
finally gets the place pays commits
sion to the association, which divides
the commission with the person who
has allowed her name to be used as a
decoy.
kThe usual thing is, he says, for
the applicant to write back to the
trustees saying that she has just ac-
cepted a position, but would like to
send friend in her place. 1t is then
so near the opening time of the
school that there is little alternative
left for the trustees but to write tor
the "friend. Babcock says:
81 have been Informed that this
association secured the appointment
of sixty teachers IN one county in the
name of Sadie Mills" Besides the
Sadie Mills letter he stated he has on
file in his office letters from "Nettie
Wagner, Geneva Boggs," "RuLh
Redman," Viola ID. Fisher" and
"Marion Dartt. -
superintendent Baboock says that
great evil of the system is that il
encourages the teachers to travel from
one end of the state to the other
every four months OF at least every
year and keep on the rustic all the
time, whereas the only schools that
are doing effective work are those
that hold their teachers from year to
year.

and this enlightened day no time for
this barbarous method of pursuing
men guilty or suspected of breaking
the laws. We regard it as no less
than infamous that the officials of
Monterey county should be permitted
to introduce this inhuman practice,
and we hope the courts will promptly
set the stamp of their condemnation
upon it.
''lt is a notorious fact "a fact pre-
senting bloody stain OIL the fair
