Players With One Glib.


Players With One Glib.
Jerome d. Travers showed his
championship golf ability in i. con-
vincing though novel manner a few
days ago ut the Montclair IN. j. Golf
club when, using but one club, q
driving mashie. he defeated the best
ball Of three opponents. The match
was the result Of one Of those en-.
thuslastic discussions which often oc.
cur around the nineteenth hole, when
the players have adjourned to the
cafe, regarding the proves Of GER
tain golfers and their ability to beat
IN aggregation Of supposedly heavy
weights.
The discussion growing warm 40 to
how large 4 handicap Travers might
give and yet come out victorious, one
energetic member who believed that
the national champion IL about the
best golfer the United States ever pro-
duced offered to bet that the cham.
pion could beat three good players
and use only one club At that. The
bet seemed good, and AZ the Travers
man was ready to give odds q bet Of
500 to 500 was arranged, the condi-
tons being that Travers should play
the best ball Of three members who
averaged around the eighties for the
course. Travers was told he might
select his club. and he chose a driving
mashie. To the surprise of his friends
Travers finished the eighteen hole cir
cult in seventy-seven strokes. the anna
teur record. held by himself. being O.,
and he beat the best ball Of his three
opponents by two or three holes.

we're many important measures
before the United States Senate
during the past month, some of
which were a menace to the .coun-
try from Democratic view of
them, and they received no sup
port from the Democratic men,
bers who were present, while Sen
ator Davis was 'bawlinga out Ben
Griffin, Ludwig, Rhoton and
others of bis old time friends and
making votes for Donaghey instead
of Kirby.
Had the senator remained at his
post N Washington and written
each of his friends at home letter
the bitter campaign just passed
would have been conducted on
high plane and the result would
have been different no doubt.
This should prove a good lesson
and if he ever regains his lost
prestige he will probably not re-
peat the performance again. Stay
in Washington senator when meas
ures which are a menace to the
country are being passed and you
will not make any enemies, but will
make friends.

The WorId is Good.

All moTtals have followed a beaten
track since man was invented, long
tine back; and folks were laughing
or B. Ndding tears away, away in the
vant.ned years. The cave man wor-
ried because his club broke down
when ne battered another dub; and
people flew in a beastly rage because
their stOYepipes broke in the glacial
age. The same old sorrow you have
to-day, was old when Adam was bal
ing hay; the worry that makes your
bosom dark, was old when Noah was
in the ark. The grim fOreboding
that makes you pale, was old when
Jonah was in the whale. There is
nothing new, in this world so wide.
so Do not worry, but let things slide.
Your hopes and doubts your dreams
and fears, are but the dust of mil
lion years.-Emporia Gazette.

Farmer Francis is an ardent ad-

a boy of Is years milks his 80 COWS
