crutchcs, he offered to the passersby
such triAes as shoe laces, pencils and

gave without asking for his ware in

One evening about II o'clock Mr..

The Royal Bluckheath Golf club
is the oldest golf club in England,
and it also claims to be the Oldest
existing golf club in tho world. 1t
was founded by James /. in 1908.
For two or three centuries before
that time golf had been a popular
gamo in Scotland, but there is no
record of any club having been es-
tablished prior to the Blackheath
club.
In 1857 tho Scottish parliament
passed an act cnjoining that Cute
ball and collie be utterly cryit downe
and nocht usit." A similar act was
passed in May, 1401.
The Royal and Ancient Golf club
at st. Andrews is one of the, most
famous in the kingdom. 1t. was in
stituted in 1884, silver cup having
been played for in May of that year
In 1884 William ~. became patron
of the club and approved of its be.
ing in future styled "thc Royal and
Ancient Golf Club of st. Andrews
and presented gold medal to be
played for annually.

"a Pretty Fancy 10 tho Lesen3 Of tie
Fairy Origin.
Once upon time there lived in
tChina two orphan brothers. The
elder brother, not satisfied with
having inherited the larger share OF
the parental estate, seized the most
valuable part of the younger's, leay-
ing him but a few acres of rocky,
unfruitful soil.
The younger brother bore the
grccdiness of the elder one until he
was finally overcome with poverty
and hunger. Then, in great despair,
he threw himself upon the ground
and lay there sobbing and bewailing
his cruel fate.
Suddenly he heard sweet voice
calling his name. Opening his eyes,
he saw fairy bending over him,
who babe him arise, saying:
"Thy patience and forbearancc
have been noticed, and now great
shall be thy reward. Thou shalt
find riches and fame beneath the
soil where thy head but moment
ago rested. To reach the treasure
will be no easy task, but be patient
and persevering. Rest not until
thou hast found that which shall
cause thee to be honored and loved
for thousand generations"
Then the fairy vanished, and the
yonnp man rubbed his ewes and
looked about him. His rocky ground
was still there, and he was jubilant
with newborn courage and hope.
With resolute will he applied him
self to the task of finding the
buried treasure.
For many days he dug faithfully,
and finally he found a flower bulb.
Believing in the fairy's promise, he
planted the bulb and nourished it
until from it there grew a flower
more delicately sweet and fair than
had ever before been seen.
Hundreds of people camo to see
the new flower. Other bulbs sprang
from its roots, and the young mans
name and his bulb patch soon be-
came famous. Riches and honor
came to him because, strange as it
may seem, the flower would not
grow in any other part of China,
and thousands came to buy from
him.
He named his treasure the
"Shuey Seen Fah," or flower of the
water fairy, name that it has ever
since borne, though in common par
lance it is known simply as tho Chi
nese lily.

There are a number of classes of
Persian cats, the division between
them being purely arbitrary and
based on the color of the fur. The
most beautiful Of all the Persians is
the pure white. They are, however,
very hard to keep clean, and a dirty
white cat is certainly anything but
an ornament about ones rooms. 1t
is unfortunate that many white cats
are deaf, SO when one is making a
purchase Of q cat that color it is a
wise prccaution to test the hearing.
Another falling which white cats
have, in common with all light coli
ored cats, is that their constitutions
are not so vigorous as those OF the
dark haired cats.-Suburban Life.

PROVING HIMSELF.

Feat Of Q Pioneer Who Was hatO IN
His Old Age.
1t is wiso man who proves his
words before he speaks them. A
story of an old Pennsylvania settler
shows shrewdness in this direction
as woll as n pardonnble pride in
proves, Tho hero of the anecdoto
was Gabriel Schiller, a pioneer. who
was hale in his old age.
One day SCHUYLER broke in upon q
company of farmers who were gath
cred in a workshop. The old man
carried an AK on his shoulder.
"Let come ono turn tho grind
stone for me-" he said.
For long time he sharpened the
instrument, with the greatest 30
lemnity. Some present thought he
had lost his senses. Finally he shout
dercd the OK and said:
"IIet each one follow me-"
The farmers thought that this
summons might mean that an at
tack was to be made on tho Indians,
ana tney asked:
"Shall we take arms%
"Do as you please" replied schu-
Ter.
Each man seized his rifle and fol-
lowed the old settler. He led them
to an open place in the woods.
"Now," said SCHUYLER, stopping,
wct each 90 into tho woods and Sc
lcct fine, large tree. When you
hear my trumpet, return"
The men, wondering, did as they
were bid. When the trumpet blew
they gathered once more about
Schuler. The sage, led by the farm
ers, examined each tree selected.
"Many of them are very fine" he
pronounced, "but mono equals this
oak"
So 1t was. He had picked out the
finest. He threw off his jacket and
began to cut. When he had hewed
halfway through he changed his ak
from his right hand to his left and
went on without changing position
or saying word. In an hour he had
cut way through, and the tree fell.
Mounting the stump, SCHUYLER adj
dressed tho farmers:
"Today / am hundred years
old, and I would boar evidence OF
my strength. 1 would like to have
your promise that the tree shall
stay as it fell"
The old mans request was grant
ed, and the PROSTATE oak remained
for many years to be monument to
the strength of the century old
