we going to be killed."

CROWS ON GOLF LINKS.
One Fastidious Bird That Would Steal
Only New Balls.

only New Balls.
The crow seems to be attracted to
golf balls in way peculiar from the
rest Of the bird species In parks
where the rock and the crow abound
one can notice them sitting in the
trees or hopping about the putting
greens in the distance watching the
roll of the ball with direct or side
long glance expressive of the keenest
interest and curiosity which is soon
translated into a desire to carry it
off to the roost in the neighboring
wood
The Kew gardens adjoin the Mid
Surrey course. and in the royal pre-
serve there used to be, fairly large
colony Of crows nesting among the
trees. Of shis convoy there was one
particular crow who found his great
est amusement in mingling among the
golfers and in disconcerting their play
by indulging in repeated predatory
campaigns against their golf balls.
HIS policy was to hover in attend
ant ION those players who used new
white balls only. Those on which the
paint had been Clipped or which had
been used in play for several rounds
by an economical player were always
rejected by this particular bird as be-
ing beneath his fastidious attention.
