GOLF CADDIES.
Interesting Facts Regarding Caddies
 Now in Professional Class.

Colered boys and men work at many links in the south. but as general thing the American caddie Is the every day country boy. At fourteen or fif- teen he goes to work or to a prepara- tory school to make ready for pro- fessional career, and 1t is only at the public schools that he plays or works as caddie. The present champion of the Massachusetts Golf association, J. c. Anderson, was caddie of this sort before going to a preparatory school and college, and he is now college professor. western amateur cham pion, Sawyer, while caddying as kid, went to play as a frolic in profes- sional competition, and for this he had afterward to receive q clear bill ot health from the golf authorities, while Jones. runner up in the same contest to H. C. Egan last year, was also a cad die in his young days.
 There are many more cases to be quoted. In rare instances the American caddie boy becomes a professional and if so he becomes an honor to the craft They model their game on that of the resident Scotch professionals, and in time one of them may win an open championship The Scots have been generous in helping the lads to master the game and the absence of jealousy has helped the American boys forward who have joined the ranks of the pro- fessionals. The American caddie boy i' unique for cheery ways and bright witt among the caddies of the world, and II is fitting that he Is the only one whc may develop into an amateur golfer

WINTER BUTTERFLIES.

 Such reply with foot of snow on the ground and great probability of foot more before morning was accepted as a pleasantry ands not to be taken seriously. The idea of catch ing butterflies in a snowstorm seem ed too "fishy" for serious considera- tion.
 On the approach of winter most of the butterflies those delicate little creatures of fair. weather, naturally die. But among their number there is a whole hardy brood for which the rigors of winter possess no terrors. These are the angle wings, or vanes- sids. They are frequently called "thaw butterflies from the fact that during the warm spells of winter they awake from their torpor and may frequently be seen summing themselves near their place of Information or if the weather is mild and pleasant fitting lightly about in the open places.
 These insects pass the winter both as chrysalis and as mature butterflies. Normally they remain in the chrysalis form only about two weeks. but it is probable that the severe cold over takes some before they are fully de- veloped. which may account for some of them hibernating as chrysalis.-St. Nicholas.

AFTER SPRINKL.RlRs'.
Foley Endeavoring to Contract Direct With Gar Watering i
 Company.
SYSTEM USED IN THEs PAST
Middle Company's Profit Also Had td
 be Paid by the
 City,

s ' s y
 The director of public works. Francis w. Foley, has. not heard from the Wor- cester Car Sprinkling company relative to making contract for the coming year. For the past few years these sprinkli&g cars have been leased, not from the Worcester company itself, but from company which itself leases the cars from tho former company. Thusl the city is paying middleman's profit. The city will not do so again, if 1t canl possibly help it. The trolley companyl pays nothing for this ear sprinkllngl service the whole burden of expensesl resting on the city.
 The law requires that the street rail-| way company sprinkle between theI rails, and two feet on each side. Froml these lines to either curb the city mustI sprinkle. The trolley company is get.E ting this service in return for the priv-3z ilege the water car leases have in usingl the former company's tracks, and elec-I tric power. Thus the trolley companyf complies with the law without any ex- pense to itself, letting the city pay the| bills. F s
 MT. Foley wishes to make arrange1 ments with the car company itself, in1l stead of the New Haven Contracting gh company. thus doing away with thez profits of the latter company and sav1 ing just that much for the city. Wha@ will be done in case the Worcester con4 cern refuses to treat with the city ths director would not say.

Washington. Feb. 5.--Tariff revision and the presidents recent special mes sage to congress again were the main topics of discussion in the house of rep resentatives to-day. As has been the case of nearly week, the Indian ap- propriation bill was ostensibly before the house but in no quarter was men ton made of it.

 A long speech by Sereno Payne, of New York, the majority leader. was considered important because of his surances that a tariff revision plank would be incorporated in the republi- can national platform of this year.

In the final stage of the contest A.

 The Pirates lead the r. NJ. c. A. basketball league, having lost but one game out of five played. The Victors and the Eagles have won three games and lost two, thus being tied for second place and the Defenders seem to be successfully defending the last stage oi the league ladder.

It will indeed be festal occasion and a very attractive one that will open the great automobile show in Mechanics building, Boston, March T.. It was not believed, that Manager Campbell could improve the show given last year, eith- CT in the number of exhibits. or in the general attractiveness, but from know ledge obtained direct from those most closely connected with the details or the show, it can be asserted with posi- tiveness that Boston has a surprise awaiting it when the exposition opens.
 Builders from the east-trom the west-and from Europe, will compete in their displays and the result will be an exhibition that will surpass anything ever seen in Boston previous to this time. and one that will be an educator to all who are interested in either auto mobiles or accessories. Some of the finest racing autos built in America are to be exhibited and will prove very at tractive.

DIAMOND CLIPPINGS

George Mullen's refusal to sign T Detroit contract for 1908 is thought by the officials to be a move to force the club to trade him. The Tiger twiier has been endeavoring to cause his trade for the past three years, but has been unsuccessful. The basis for the suspi- cion that he desires to get away from Detroit Is that he makes no Kick against his salary. which is the same as last year, or against any other pro- vision. except that the clause giving si.0O0 bonus for winning thirty games or $500 for winning twenty is missing. Last year Mullen pitched forty games and won twenty of them. President Navin declares he will not let Mullen go.
