GOLF AT PANAMA.
Course on Which a Red Bug Plays Its
Own Game.

Own Game.
From the New York Sun
mo, sir! Catch me playing golf in
Panama." exclaimed the isthmian civil
service worker. They've a fine course
laid out over on the Pacific side-due
north, by the way, from the Atlantic
end Of the canal. you'd think 1t would
be west-but 1 don't play any golf.
Not /.
That course is the standing joke up
and down the line. The new men, just
out from the states, they play on 1t,
but in about three days they wish they
hadn't.
"A tiny little bug infests the grass
there and it's a terror. The people in
Spiggoty Land call it the red bug.
well, about the time n of h new
fellows is trying his first drive from the
tee every red bug On the grounds has
marked him out for a good thing and
they're making in droves for hole No. 1,
beating him to 1t.
THE bug always gets there first. BY
the time Mr.. Newcomer Is holing
they're in committee of the hole, sitting
on all available blades Of grass. It's
even whispered that certain aristocratic
members Of the red bug community
have learned the art of firmly sticking
to the ball wherever 1t touches the
green and thus travelling with it into
the hole.
when the innocent player, joyous at
his fine form, puts his hand into the
hole, the waiting red bug jumps up his
sleeve and proceeds to get busy. In the
meantime all the other hosts Of rela-
tives made a concerted attack on the
player. They make a speciality Of get
ting down into his shoes, between his
toes.
'Fleas bite, but the red bug digs in
and proceeds to tunnel under your skin.
The females lay little nests of eggs in
your anatomy and they start to hatch.
II one Of tn, 7e nests matches it's a dam
gerous proposition. Many a man Is
famed for life by neglecting a nest.
when the player makes the course
he don't quite know what's the matter
with him. The wise ones grin delight
eddy at the squirming unfortunate and
finally put him wise.
"Oh, the cure is easy Get into a
bath tub and rub yourself down with
fresh tobacco leaves. This will make
you a pale, yellow green color all over;
but the red bug drops off you. Finish
up with a regular bath and also put
your golf outfit sadly away for keeps.
Always keep away from grass in Pan
anna"

Escape from sunken Submarines.
From Casters Magazine.


A plan which has been adopted includes
the use of air-traps arranged along each
side Of the submarine. and the hope Of
their successful action is quite justified in
case Of a leak in the lower part of the
vessel, in which case the water enters the
vessel and congresses the air in the upper
part until the pressure inside Is equal to
that outside, when 1t would be possible
to open the hatch of the coming tower
and thereby allow the water to rush In
and fill all except the air traps. The
| n~fe-saving dresses are kept in these air
trapped passages, so that the men have
In almost all cases sufficient time to re-
tire to these traps and then don the dress.
and after the hatch has been opened by
one or W of the men so equipped the
rest will, one by one, find their way to
the exit, when the buoyancy of the he'll
met will quickly bring them to the sur
face. Strict discipline and absolute adj
herence to a system thoroughly prac-
ticed beforehand Is the only hope of sue
cess, as all operations will probably have
to be conducted in the dark and as COM
munication by word Of mouth would bs

Youno Commentators.
From the New York Tribul

From the New YORK Trfbune.
Jerome 8. McWade, In a Sunday
school address at Duluth. quoted oddi-
ties from q number Of children's bibli-
cal compositions that had been sub
mitted to him In competition for q SIS
New Year prize.
Among the more whimsical oddities
were:
Mamma is being polite"
Jerusalem was surrounded with
walls to keep In the milk and honey"
Jacob was a patriarch by trade. In
them days people lived on corn, like
horses do now. They always called pud-
den and porridge messes. Jacob could
eat a good mess, but Esau. who was
the Oldest, could not eat as much
as you might think. The patriarch
Moses never ate nothing except when
there was q famine"

Tho Dead Geyser.

I sat in the forest at shutdown,
On the trunk of a fallen tree;
There were calm, low light to westward,
But shadows over me,
And the gold beneath h branches
Was wonderful to see.
Before me lay a circle
In the glow of the fading sky,
The rim of an outworn geyser
That brothered an age gone by,
With roots grown down in It's assures
AS thick as a good mans thigh.
Then up in the evening silence,
And up in the westward light,
And over the widening shadow,
He seemed to take his flight,
Alone in the awesome stiffness,
So solemn and weird and white.
A chipmunk peeped from his burrow
Where the white dead p.ne-stem lay;
A night-hawk rose from his tree-tip
To spiral the muffling gray;
And the wandering breath of Summer
Seemed all at once taken away.
The molten brass in the tree-holes
Had dwindled to a span;
So 1 rose with great thoughts crowdins
In solemn caravan
And crept through the shade, a shadow,
Who had set me down a man.

OUR FEAR OF CONSEQUENCES

Perhaps the fear of consequences keeps us from a few bad acts. but l am convinced that it also deters us from many good ones. says the March Atlantic IL keeps us from being as disagreeable to people as We should sometimes like to be. but il also pre- vents us from being as nice to them as we now and then have the i'm pulse to be
 I often think Of this as l stand be- side the track in the country and watch q train rush past. The engi- neeI is usually leaning out of his window. l wave to him. he waves back. we smile in most friendly fash ion. and the train flashes by. once I stood on q bridge and watched q slow freight creep along under me. The trainmen stood or lay on the tops of the cars, and as they passed they tossed salutations up to me. I caught them all. It was great fun. But afterwards l reflected what would have happened it that freight had suddenly .t'.'pe!

BETWEEN THE ACTS.

Every chance I get" said the opera goer," I sneak up behind some one who is reading between the acts and try to find out what he is reading. Up in the top gallery a lot of friendless folk read between acts. They come along and have nobody to talk to. and as they don't care to study the crowd they fall back on a book or news paper. Newspapers predominate, but books hold their own pretty well. Li- brettos don't count. Nobody up in the top gallery needs a libretto. Novels are popular. Every time Lucia is sung more than one person sneaks The Bride of Lammermoor' out of the book case and takes it to the opera 'Orfeo' brings out numerous works on mythology. One night peeped over the shoulder of a young man who was studying algebra. But for pure ca tholicity of taste commend me to the woman who read MT. Dooley' between acts of 'Parsifal.' I had always flat tered myself that I possessed wide sympathies in music and literature, but after that exhibition of liberality slunk back into a seat reserved for ultra conservatives."-N York Sun.

ADJUSTMENTS

The local lovers of the Ghirly, girly. musical show were out in force last evening when the curtain rose on the first act of the laugh provoking musical skit, "F'innegan's Alley" The performance was the last of this very popular piece and commencing to- night it gives place to The Persian Princess,V a musical novelty entirely different from anything yet offered by the present company Of players. Its success will depend upon an elab- crate stage mounting and special cos tuning which the arrangement have had in preparation for the past few weeks. Everything will be in read promises tO maintain the hign stan dard Of excellence. already establsh- ed. During the coming week a num- Der of new faces. will be seen in the company. The management feel that the present patronage justifies them in strengthening the cast and will do so with the result that the patrons of the place will have the pleasure of enjoying productions such as have seldom if ever been presented in the southwest at popular prices. Don't forget the Persian Princess" music, girls and fun galore.

Brig Gen. Bird W.

REGARD FOR WEDDING
 RINGS.

In the Isle of Man the wedding ring was formerly used as an instrument of torture Cyril Davenport. in his book on "Jewelry." remarks that there once existed a custom in that island according to which an unmarried girl who had been offended by man could bring him to trial. and if he were found guilty she would be pre- scented with a sword. rope and ring. With the sword she might cut off his head: with the rope she might hang him. or with the ring she might marry him. It is said that the lat ter punishment was that invariably inflicted"
 The wedding ring. which was tol- erated by the Methodists, was anath- ema to the early Puritans. who re- garded personal adornment as one of the many snares of Satan. Wes- ley, who was d High Churchman. probably recognized it's symbOlical value In the old English marriage service it was the custom for the bridegroom to put the ring on the thumb of his bride, saying. Tn the name Of the Father" then on the next finger. saying and the Son, then on the third finger. saying and of the Holy Ghost" finally on the. fourth finger, with the word Amen.
 The ring was left there because. as the Sarum rubric says, "a vein pro- ceeds thence to the heart" In the modern marriage service the ring is placed at once upon the third finger, the invocation to the Trinity being understood.
 The wedding ring was the only form of jewelry permitted to the early Methodists, and there are peo- pie still living who recall how no longer than forty years ago they were reproved by old Methodist min isters for breaking the rules of mem bership. which forbade (and technical Iy still fOrbid) Methodists to wear gold, jewels or costly apparel; but with fine courtesy John Wesley knew when to ignore breaches of his own regulations.
 In visiting house one Of the preachers drew Wesley's attention to the hosts daughter, who was wear ing several jeweled rings; but instead of the rebuke which his preacher sought to evoke. Wesley only gravely and gently remarked, "A very beau tiful hand. d."-I.ondon Chronicle.
