Sierra Leone.


Sierra Leone known to fame as ''the
white mans graye"-viewed from the
deck Of an incoming steamer presents
an appearance distinctly attractive. As
to climate, the sobriquet white mans
grave is sufficiently instructive. Suf-
fee it to say that the first Of the daily
regimental orders ran thus: Funeral
parade at $50 a. m. tomorrow" and it
was seldom indeed that the parade
was dismissed for lack of a victim to
the pestiferous climatic conditions.
Indeed. so arduous became the duties
Of sepulcher that, whereas it was GUS
tomary in the beginning for the entire
regiment and band to attend, only the
company of the deceased and the firing
party did SO later on. Sierra Leone is
infested with snakes, large and small.
The former are of the constructor spe-
cies; the latter are all extremely ven-
lomous.- The most deadly of all per-
haps is the yellow jack, beautiful
yellow and black reptile, whose bite is
reputed to prove fatal within space
of twenty minutes. w estchester Coun-

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 unconsciously 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 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 penalized 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
