His Lesson In Golf,

A prominent business man not long
since became afflicted with a bad case
of "golfitis"-that is, he Joined the ar
my of cranks at the game, wanted to
play all the time. talk of nothing ese
etc AS is the case with all buffers"
he had his troubles at the start, and
the way he fired questions at his
friends was caution His golf ac-
quaintances accommodatingly replied
with all sorts of remedies. until finally
the bewildered one got his stenogra-
pher to jot them down. One friends
advice included three points-frst,
keeping the eye on the ball; second,
the necessity of hitting the ball with
an easy stroke, and, third, the use of
a rocking horse to develop the stroke.
The fact that the friend had a keen
sense of humor did not occur to the
tyro until later. He Immediately pur-
chased large rocking horse and after
business hours seated himself astride
the fiery charger and swung at the
ball, which was securely fastened to
the floor by strong cord. He has
learned thing or two since. The
hobbyhorse is no more. and he has
vowed to get square with "Mr. Joker"

Suhduina a Bully.

A writer in a Vladivostok paper tells
of an encounter he once witnessed on
a Siberian train between IA lady and a
nobleman
When the train pulled up at Tsitikar.
In Manchuria, a Manchu noble who
had bullied all his fellow passengers,
alighted at the station restaurant after
warning them that he would decapi-
tate any of them who took his seat.
During his absence smartly dressed
young Russian lady entered the car
and, despite the alarmed eXpostula-
lions of its occupants. calmly appro-
priated the seat. When the noble re-
turned he flew into a passion and adj
vanced threateningly with his curved
saber drawn. But the young woman
coolly covered him with a shining re-
volver.
do you take us for a pack of cow
ardly mandarins?" she exclaimed, and
then, pointing to her feet, she remark.
ed, Here is your place, my hero"
The Manchu noble surrendered and
sat at her feet for the rest of the jour
ney.

Fate of the Flowers the Master Placed
In Water.
A certain good natured doctor whose
doorbell rang late one Saturday night,
supposing that the summons was from
some one who needed his services, rose
from bed, put on his dressing gown
and went to the door.
A workingman stood there, holding
a huge paper package, from which
buds and leaves were protruding.
SIS Miss Caroline Ward in?" he asked.
"She has retired" returned the doc
tor. Miss Caroline Ward was his cook
"I'm sorry, sir, TO call so late. Some
thing went wrong with the tramcar
was in. I'll leave this for her, sir, If
you will kindly give it to her in the
morning.
Certainly" said the doctor. He
took the flowers into the kitchen,
placed a dishpan in the sink, drew a
few inches of water in it, carefully
pressed the base of the package into
the water and went back to bed,
thinking how pleased the cook would
be.
The next morning he found the cook
holding dripping bundle. She was
angry.
IF 'ad the pussons ere wot did
this" said she, I'D empty the kettle
on 'em. I'd let 'em see if they could
put the at what my young man bought

MUST PAY FINE IF
He WISHES TO APPEAL
Magistrate Stone, of SaIters' Creek,
Said to Have Propounded
Strange Law.

According to J. L. Harris, who re-
sides in Hampton Roads avenue,
Magistrate c. L. Stone, of the Salters'
Creek section. has discovered a new
law by which a man fined before =
justice of the peace must pay fine
and costs before the case against
him can be appealed to the Circuit
Court.
Mr.. Harris was hailed before Mag
istrate Stone on complaint OF man
named Cochrane. who claimed that
Mr.. Harris had abused him. Harris
had previously had Mrs. COchrane ar
rested for assaulting him and she
was fined s. and costs by Magistrate
Smith.
After hearing the testimony OF
Cochrane. Justice Stone imposed a
fine of S. and costs upon Mr. Harris,
and when the accused man declared
his intention of appealing the case
to- the higher court, Justice Stone told
Mr.. Harris that he would have to pay
the fine regardless of an appeal ana
rather than 90 to jail Mr.. Harris paid
up.
Last night Mr. Harris came to
hampton and secured the services of
Fay s. Collier. who will look after
the appeal and il is likely also that
he will request Magistrate Stone 10
explain Just how he can force the col
lection of a fine from a man, who
wishes to have the Circuit Court in
vsstsgate the correctiess of the jus
tees decision.
