CROWS ON GOLF LINKS.
One Fasti dIous Bird That Would Steal
 Only New BalIs.
From the Field

From the Field.
 The crow seems to bs attracted to golf balls in a way wholly 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 hop ping about the putting greens in the dis tance watching the roll of the ball with a direct or side-long glance expressive of tho keenest interest and curiosity, which is soon translated into desire to carry 1t of to the roost in tho nsighboring wood.
 The Kew Gardens abjodn tho Mid-Sur- rey course. and in the royal preserve there used to be fairly large colony of crows nesting among the trees. Of this colony there was enc particular crow who found his greatest amusement in mingling among the golfers and in dis concerting their play by indulging in re- peated predatory campaigns against their golf baIls.
 His policy was to hover in attendance on those players who used new white balls only. Those on which the paint had

EARLIEST RAILWAY TICKETS.
The Passengers' WaybilIs and How
 They Were Filled Out.

From the Railway Magazine
 Tho earliest railway tickets differed en- tirely from those now in use The book ing clerk was furnished with a volume, the pages of which were divided down the center by a perforated line, the out side half of each page was again divided into slips about inches long by 1x in width, on each of which was printed the name of the issuing station; spaces were provided in which the clerk had to write the destination, passengers name, date of issue and the time tho train was due to depart.
 One of these slips. duly filled in, was detached from the book and handed over to each wouid-bs passenger in exchange for his fare.
 The traveller. having thus obtained his ticket, was passed on to the guard of the train by which he desired to travel This official was provided with kind of way bill on which he entered particulars of all his passengers is much the same way that parcel is served nowadays Incidently the similarity of treatment did not always end there. Tho third-class passengers had to travel in an open car riage. frequently nothing more than a goods truck attached to a train which carried both passengers and freight. more or less indiscriminat ately.

last June from Yale and by inference a good-looking and likeable chap, has bean set to work in Kansas City by his fathsr to learn the Fundamentals of railroad df- flee work. He has bent over a dysk in the Southern auditors office two months. but with such restraint from association with the other men that few knew what an heir they have in their midst.
 Nobody knows what his wage is: per haps the auditor himself doesn't dare di- vulge the secret Anyway. he is at hia desk nearly every day and is said to take great oare with his work. But when he wants torlsave he goes, whether the clock reads or 10 o'clock. and there's no one to chide him.
 It h uncertain how long James 1attr is going to remain in Kansas City before returning to his homo in New York ctyt- perhaps not until he is certain of all the details of railroad accounting, so that he can assume the management of q rail- road with no handicap of ignorance.

Lorse's Son at Bottom.

From the Kansas City Star.
 The red-headed office boy in tho audi tors on.ce of tho Kansss City Southern railway, in the Thayer building, Ninth street and Broadway, had to have the nams repeated several times before he knew whom the visitor desired to see. And tho tall. slender young man who was wearing glasses and bending over book, plainly was no ordinary ink-spiller. MT. James Taber 1oree was too busy to zee anyone, the office boy brought back word.
 James Taber Loree is . son of Ieonar rresnel Loree. chairman of the board of directors of the Kansas City South; pres- ident of tho Delaware and Hudson com pany; president of the Nap!erville Junc- tion Railway company; president of the Quebec Montreal and Southern railway. and ex-head of the Baltimore and Ohio and the Rock Island lines.

The Catherine Place

Life changes all our thoughts Of heaven:
At first we think Of streets of gold,
OF gates Of pearl and dazzling light,
OF shining wings and robes OF white
And things all strange 70 mortal sight,
But In the aftrrward Of years
IT is a more familiar place:
A home unhurt by sighs or tears,
Where waiteth many a well-known face.
With passing months it comes more near.
it grows more real day by day;
Nor strange nor cold. but very dear
Where none are sick. or cor. or lone,
The place where we shall find our own
And as we think Of all we knew
Who there have met TO part no more,
Our longing hearts desire home too,
With all tile strife and trouble DER.
Robert Browning
