Spain has never cared for the game
she is not the athletic type of Eng
lish girlhood, anyway-but since her
life in Spain commenced, she has TAX
en- it up, probably at the request of
the King. However, she is still in the
very first stages of a beginner.
The King and the Grown Prince of
Greece are great golfers. The King
drives wonderful ball, and the
Crown Princes strength is in his put
ting, SO their matches are rather in
teresting and are almost daily.
Since Haakon and Queen Maud
have come to the Norwegian throne
they have introduced golf as an ex-
ercise in Norway, and have links near
the palace.
The Kaiser's affection makes golf
quite out of the question for him, but
he is said to interest himself in the
game to the extent Of looking on
sometimes, as the German Crown
Prince plays well and often.
There is a very fine golf course at
Peterhof, and here the harassed ruler
of all the Russias sometimes seeks
distraction from the cares of state in
game Of golf, but as he is accom-
panied by guards and escorts with
full regiment stationed around the
links he probably does not give his
undivided attention to the game, and
is said to play in a most desultory
fashion.

The Personalities of the Buildings

Along Its Banks.
Buildings have personalities. Some
fascinate as beautiful women fascin-
ate; some charm as child may charm.
naively, simply, but irresistibly. Some.
like conqucrors, men of blood and iron,
without bowels of mercy, pitiless and
determined, strike awe to the soul,
mingled with the almost gasping adj
miration that power wakes in man.
Some bring sense of heavenly peace
to the heart. Some, like certain tenn
pies of the Greeks, by their immense
dignity, speak to the nature almost
as music speaks, and change anxiety
to trust. Some tug at the hidden
chords of romance and rouse tremb-
ling response. Some seem to be ming
ling their tears with the tears OF the
dead; some their laughter with the
laughter of the living. The traveller,
sailing up the Nile, holds intercourse
with many of these different person
alities. He is sad, perhaps, as was

Abydos; muses. with Luxor beneath the
little, tapering minaret whence the call

Is he sad, thoughtful awed or gay?

things, considered no doubt by her as

she was wrong-Scotch and wrong.

A Rheumatic Little Rhlno.

The star invalid just now at Bronx
park is Spoke, the young African two
horned rhinoceros. Despite his
seemingly rugged constitution and
his distinguished foreign ancestry
hi sfamily being one of the most an
cient residing near the head waters
of Lake Victoria Nyanza in German
East Africa-the rhino is suffering
from no less a plebian complaint than
plain, ordinary, every day 'rheuma-
tiz."
Speke's case is really very pitiful,
for, although he stands several feet
high and weighs considerable frac-
ton Of a ton, he is, nevertheless, lit.
tie more than baby, and his present
sad plight is due more than to any
thing else to his lack Of mothers
tender care. His kind hearted keep
ers, Truman and Bayreuther, have
tried manfully to make UP for the ma.
ternal shortcomings, but, notwith-
sanding their sympathy and under
standing of animals, the meals they
served, although most tempting, were
not such as Speke's mother used to
make"
The fact is that Spoke, when he
was captured about eighteen months
ago, was such very little shaver
as rhinos go-that if he were still in
his native land he would not yet have
been ,.weaned. Consequently he has
been kept on a condensed milk diet

ECONOMY IN NEW YORK.
Il Is Nothing but Poverty Compare
lively Speaking.

Economy is nothing but poverty in
5 New York, by contrast with the abb.
normal demands that living Involves.
Spending so cents for breakfast, going
without luncheon and paying 81 for
dinner Is economy for single man. A!
breakfast that costs 80, cents and a
dinner at so cents is poverty The
boarding house life is poverty; the
lodging house life Is something worse.
and the ordinary life in fat is vol
untary servftude.
Hociologists claim that the, lowest
possible yearly expense for a working1
man with q wife and three children
embodying "a normal standard of NV
ing is $3.50. The statement was made
recently by the New York Depart
ment of Charities that the average
laborer's family in New York is ex-
listing on about $7O0 year, The
minimum rate of rent on the East
Side for the barest decencies is 81
month. Coal costs from 10 to is
cents pail, fabulous price when
estimated by the ton.
Yet between this poverty and the
economy" of the small salaried en-
ployee who is compelled to adjust his
earnings to the demands of his occu-
patton there Is small difference. We
live in New York by the cost rather
than value OF things. An apple pur-
chased on Fifth avenue costs twice as
much as the same apple bought ON
Fourteenth street. The dollar Bowery
shirt costs twice as much on Broad

rector Hornaday's efficient staff OF
wild animal entertainers. Early in
the winter. however, it was thought
safe TO stop the youngsters milk RAJ

exclusively.
This was done, and Spoke seemed
as clipper as ever until about two
weeks ago, when his keepers noticed
that he began TO act queerly and that
he preferred to spend most Of his
time lying on his straw bed. Soon
the young rhinoceros's joints became
so stiff he could scarcely walk, and

especially by the fact that he still

WARD IS UNABLE
 TO ASSIST NORWAY

As stated in The Age-Herald several days ago. Norway is endeavoring to learn from the people of the United States how to handle the illicit sale of liquor. Secretary Root was appealed to and Sec retary Root in turn appealed to the gov ernors of the several states. The gov- ernors, it is supposed, referred the let ters to the mayors of the several cities. At least Mayor Ward came into pos session of one of the interrogating mis- sives from ice bound Norway.
 In reference to Norway's complaint that the people sold liquors concealed in candles and eocoanuts, Mayor Ward simp- ly stated that In Birmingham such in- tricate methods of deception were not necessary.
 Tn Birmingham" wrote the Mayor, those desiring to sell whisky contrary to prohibition laws, simply open lip a soft drink establishment and dispense the liquors to those whom they trust. And they trust many"
 Mayor Ward consumed much space in telling of local conditions but had no advice to offer as to how Norway could put down the illicit sale in that country. We have trouble enough of our own,' stated the Mayor on the side.

BLAKEMORE FINDS
 FLAWS IN THE PLAN
Fourth Class Offices Not Civil
 Service Material
HARD TO FILL THEM NOW
Birmineham's Assistant Postmaster Also Thinks 1t Would Make Many Negroes In the South Eligible
 for Postoffices.

Prof. J. T. Blakemore, Birminghams assistant postmaster, in discussing the proposed bill to put the fourth-class post masters on civil service examinations, brings some new light on the subject from the Alabama point of view. He argues that such a course would make it very difficult to fill the country postoffices, would be an endless source of trouble and worry, would open the door to the negro, who could pass the examinations and get in line on the eligible list and would make men stand an examination for little job that would only pay $S quarter.
 'The whole number of postoffices in Alabama he said, 'is 1867 Ninety-three of these are presidential appointments, four are first-class 15 are second-class, "A are third-class.
 Now, the highest pay that can be re- eeived by a postmaster of the fourth class Is $999 There are not to exceed six fourth-class postmasters in the state which pay over $9O0 while the majority pay less than $100 year, and a great many receive not more than $3 a quar- ter.
 It would be necessary to have an eli- gible list at each office, as the postal laws require that the postmaster shall be chosen flon. within the delivery territory of the office. Negroes could enter for these positions, and if they stood the highest examinations would have to re- ceive the appointments
 The difficulty encountered by the de- rartnent and those charged with the duty Of securing people to fill the offices does not arise from the contention of numerous candidates but in finding people who will take the places The general rule has Eeen to find merchant or planter in the locality who is willing to take the off;ce and handle it for the &C., commodation of himself and neighbors In the majority of these small places poli- tics cuts a small figure. There is an ex- tremely large number of democrats hold ing these small postoffices.
 Now t seems to me that postal reform would Dlueh better go the other way. In- stead Of putting the small offices on tbe civil examine tions, I think the large post offices HOW under presidential appoint mert should be put under civil service. for the larger an office the greater it's importance and the necessity of a thor ough understanding of the business The postmaster should go right up through the office and become acquainted with every detail of the work. This is the one big objectionable feature in the arrangement. No matter how good a business mans ability, when he comes into the office from the outside he simply cannot under stand the workings and meet the difficult ties as well as the man who has been promoted all the way through on merit"
