GOLF PHILOSOPHER REvERIEs

When I address my ball preparatory
to driving it out into the unknown
7 am the battle ground of two con-
flicting emotions. First, hope that L
may drive it $50 yards, and second, fear
that 1 will do this very thing.
No one loves better than l do long
soaring drive, straight out from the tee
over roads and fences and bunkers a
clean 200 yards. 1 always feel the bet
ter man for having made such drive;
the inspiration of it warns my soul
for a week-that being the length OF
time which generally elapses before l
make another But into this joy as |
see the ball leap from the tee and
aeroplane there comes a cloud. 1t Is
this: 1 know that shall never see that
hall again.
1t takes a more expert golfer to find
his ball after a 2O0-yard drive than 1t
does to make the drive. l have made
perhaps half a dozen 200-yard drives.
In each case I have hunted long for the
ball and have sadly gone back and
driven another. Thus there enters
into each hopeful swing as 1 make 1t
the counter hope that after all 1 may
make the regulation 50-yard dub. 1t
is cheaper and in the end it gets me
along faster.
But why not employ a caddy?"
hear the expert ask.
That is quite another story. ! shall
explain that in later reverie.

covered that elk are natural enemies OF
dogs and wolves. Since placing an elk
in an enclosed pasture with MS STOCK
he has suffered no loss from the depre-
dations of wolves and coyotes. 1t has
been his observation that few elk IN
a 1OOO-acre pasture will absolutely pro

that the stock inside is so Zealously
guarded by the elk that his own dogs
are so well aware of the danger that
they cannot be induced to enter.
A strange feature in connection with
the elk however, is that while he is
natural enemy to wolves and coyotes
when placed inside an enclosure, he Is
not outside, for no less a person than
former President Roosevelt reports
having seen coyotes walking unnoticed
in a band of elk in Yellowstone park:

TWO OF A KIND

our side, woman, with her wit, is able

wife had bought few puffs of false

in the hall one day, and. just as she
was fixing the false puffs on her
brow, he darted in upon her.

ILLINOIS PRIMARY
Law IS INVALID
Third Statute on Same Subj ect
to Be Knocked Out.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 17.-The state
supreme court has declared uncon-
stutional the state primary election
law. This is the third state primary
law Knocked out by the supreme
court. In the workings of the latest
law objection was made to the cum
brous machinery occasioned and to
the restrictions against voters eligi-
bllity to participate. Criticism was
also directed against the powers
granted to political party committees.
There is strong feeling in Illinois
In favor Of a direct primary act and
those who are close to Governor De-
neen believe that he will call a spe-
c1al session of the legislature to
frame such statute. The law just
nullified was objected to by the in
dependent voters of the state because
under 1t if they desired to vote at a
primary they were obliged to declare
fealty to one of the political parties.
1t was also demonstrated that voters
of one political party could take part
In the selection of the candidates of
an opposite party. Through this &C.
tion of the supreme court indictments
against politicians in Chicago for al
legged fraud in the primaries last Au-
gust will probably tail. ~

SAYS The 500 WILL NOT
CARRY GRAIN TO DULUTH.
Canadian Pacific Official Denies That
Thief River Falls Cutoff Is
to Be So Used.

A telegram from Winnipeg to the
Duluth News Tribune says that the
Canadian Pacific officials have no
intention of using the proposed new
thief River Falls-Duluth cutoff of
the 500 for the purpose of hauling
grain, altogether. t&
Says the telegram
Winnipeg, June 17.-William
Whyte, second vice president of the
Canadian Pacific and chief executive
of the western lines, returned today
from Montreal and denied that the
Thief River Falls cutoff of the 500
Line, was shorter grain route to
the lake ports, as has been stated.
The Canadian Pacific had no inten-
ton of erecting elevators at Duluth
and would confne it's lake terminals
to Fort Williams, using the 500
Line for a grain route only when the
main line in Canada, which is
double tracked, from Winnipeg to
Fort Williams, is congested.
