Goifinq Eeats.

The Scottish golfer who undertook
for a wager to drive a ball a mile In
o dozen consecutive shots probably set
himself an easier task than some of
his predecessors north of the Tweed.
Among the most interesting wagers
of this kind was one taken in the
Burgess Golfing society in 1893 that
no two members could drive a ball
over the spire of st. Giles steeple.
The feat was attempted by a Mr..
Sceales of Leith and Mr.. Smellie, a
printer, each being allowed six balls,
and both competitors succeeded in
sending their balls well over the
weathercock, height of more than
100 feet from the ground.
Some years later Donald Mclean, a
writer to the Signet, won a substan-
tial bet by driving a bali over Mel
ville's monument, in st. Andrew
square, while several Scotchmen have
performed the difficult feat of driving
the ball from Burntsfield links to the
top of Arthur's seat, a species of golf
ing steeplechase which requires con-
siderable stamina as well as SKILL

in the winter of 1866, when the humor-
ist was about half through his lecture:
he paralyZed his audience with the an
nouncement that they would have to
take a recess of fifteen minutes so as
to enable him to go across the street to
.see man." III. r. Tracey, the editor
of the washington Republican, was In
the audience and, seeing an opportuni-
ty to improve upon the joke. penciled
these lines and sent them to the plat
form:
Dear Artemus-If you will place
yourself under my guidance, I'll take
you to see man. without crossing the
street"
Artemus accepted the invitation, and
while the great audience impatiently
but with much amusement awaited the
temperance OF the humoriSt the lat

At Terre Haute, Ind, following
the issue of a circular by the
operators association instructing the
mine owners to discontinue the
check off, the executive board of the
United Mine Workers Of District IL
decided to call suspension of work
in the Indiana bituminous coal field,
and as a result 10000 men will quit
work.
The men are ordered 70 quit work
at once at all mines where the owners
refuse to collect the dues and assess
ments of the men out of their wages.
If the order of the operators is car
ried out by all of the members of the
association this will mean that every
mine in that organization will be idle.

Hour and Then Gets Safely

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 1S.-Not many
visitors came to the Bryan home yes
terday. Some of those who did call,
however, were given an experience not
anticipated. A large black snake for a
time had everything his own way and
made things very, uncomfortable. He
made several pilgrimages across the
road to the house, always as some one
was coming down the walk, with the
result that he carried terror in his
wake.
A searching party armed with canes
and clubs sailed forth through the al
falfa path in front of the Bryan home,
bent on destroying the reptile, but he
eluded his pursuers, and now a prob
lem of great moment is being, worked
