The senate's Hole In the Wall.

When the nineteenth century was as
yet only half grown. senators applied
customarily for their toddies at the so
called Hole in the Wall, a small circu-
lar room Just off the postollice of the
upper house. The latter body then
occupied what is now thCS hamber of
the supreme court, and the poStotfice
was across the main corridor of the
building on the same floor. When n
wearer of the toga found himself in
need of "snifter" he had only to
cross over to the mails department
and pass through it to the little cir
cular room aforesaid, which was about
the size of a pantry. The Hole in the
Wall was the first senate restaurant,
and the bill of fare for edibles was
short. though to the point. There was
ham, guaranteed to have been smoked
for six months, n veritable suhlimation
of the pork product; there were corned
beef and bread and cheese. but very
little else. They served. however, as
an accompaniment for the fluids, and
when the Hole was crowded, rs was
often the case. senators ate their sand

Luck In Golf.

Luck, as will readily be understood,
is a factor that enters very largely
into golf Perhaps the most notable
case on record is that of jamie An
derson when competing for the cham
pionship at Prestwick in 1878. He had
Just teed his ball for the seventeenth
drive when a little girl standing
among the spectators remarked that
he had unconsclously placed it just In
front of the proper line Although
nobody else had noticed the fact, this
proved ON examination by the referee
to be correct. Thereupon Anderson
teed his ball again in fresh position
well behind the line and made Il drive
which landed him in the hole and
eventually enabled him to win the
match. If, however, he had played it
from the original spot he would have
been penallzed a stroke and have lost
the championship. Clearly, then. luck
on the links is something to be taken
into consideration whatever nonbeliev-
ers may say to the contrary.-Bailey's
