(The End.)

A hobbIe skirt almost led to dis
aster the other evening, at River
side and Howard. A rpetty maid
was tripping merriIy along, in one
of the most nobility of hobble
skirts, with a male escort on each
side of her. When she tried to
step off the sidewalk her skirt in
terfered, and she started to tumble
into the street. But one Of the
gallant escorts reached forth,
caught her around the waist and
placed her on her feet again. The
incident showed, however, that If
you wear a hobble skirt you don't
want to lose your balance.

GAME OF GOLF,
SPORT OF KINGS
Continued from Page Ski

war, the ''unprOfitabill" sport flourish
ed and the laws against it were not en-
forced. Later the objections to golf
were religious rather than martial, and
a law was passed abainst the '-propha-
ratione" of the Sabbath with golf AS
men became more liberal the law al
lowed the golfers to enjoy their game
on Sunday afternoons, providing they
had attended preaching in the morning.
Otherwise they were denied the privi
lege of playing at all on the Sabbath.
BY the beginning of the seventeenth
century golf had lived down its reputa-
ton as an ''unprOfita bill' sport, and
had ingratiated itself in the heart OF
even king James VI who. in 1908, ap-
pointed William Mayne TO be during
ell the dayis o. his Iyif-tyme club ma
ker to His Hieness" About this same
time there was an act passed by the
Scottish parliament prohibiting the i'm
portatiOn of Dutch-made golf balls into
Scotland. This is one of the first in
stances of the protective tariff princi-
pie being recognized in the English
speaking world. In those days the balls
were made of wet feathers stuffed into
a leather covering, and much skill was
required in their making. Later the
gutta percha ball made bid for favor
and all sorts of tactics were reSOrted
TO in order TO prevent its ascendancy-
Many ball makers paid the caddies to
gather up all the gutta percha balls
they could find But the gutta percha
ball became so strongly entrenched in
the favor of the players that those
who had hitherto used a basket of
feathers and a piece of horsehide in
making a ball now changed to making
them out of gutta percha. 1t was in
those same times that the game was
played by players attired in tall hats,
swallowtail coats and knee breeches
Such a costume on the links today
would be amusing to say the least.
The Greatest Player.
One of the greatest players in the
history of the game was Alexander
Mcclellan who won the title cock o,
the green" He spent his life on Brunts-
field links playing by himself when he
could find no opponent. Often he
would practice at putting by lamplight,
and upon one occasion his golf-hating
wife, annoyed by his ALA bsorbing pas
sion, brought him his dinner and his
nightcap. He was too absorbed in his
game even to appreciate this delicate
satire.
Allen Robertson holds the reputation
Of being the greatest golfer that ever
lived. He never was beaten, and
though a professional had the polite
ness of a Brummel and the policy of
Tallyrand. For almost a generation
his record of full round on the St.
Andrews links in 80 strokes never was
touched. Not long ago Willie Smith,
an American. made the rounds on the
same links in Il strokes. The records
of the game indicate that although
Britain is the home of modern golf.
Americans are as well equipped as
English players in their mastery of
the sport II would be hard to deter
mine whether the American champion
or the British champion has the best Of
the argument when considering a long
period of years

CRUCES MILITIA
On THE RAMPAGE
Because They Were Not Sc

Break Windows.

Las Cruces, n. NJ, Sept 16.-Wednes-
day night company a met at the ar
mory and Capt. Dessauer picked the
40 men who were TO go to AtaScadero,
Cal These men he kept for drill and
dismissed the balance of the company.
Later in the evening a number OF
these men started out to wreak ven
geance because they had not, been
chosen for the trip, and by midnight
they had accomplished several hundred
dollars worth of damage. Five win
dows in the central school building
were broken with rocks, the large plate
glass window in the undertaking es-
adjustment of F. H. Strong was, de-
breakage of the plate glass in the front
of his residence, T. NJ Hayner lost two
or three windows and Nicholas Galles's
buggy was damaged. Besides this, the
boys went into the new home of n. c.
Frenger, which is almost ready for oc-
cupancy, and the vandalism there will
cost Mr.. Frenger at least $50. Not sat
iSfied with these acts, the boys emptied
the water from all the storeg tanks
in the vicinity of the armory and then
went to the Santa Fe station and threw
rocks at the Pullman car which had
been set out here TO convey the COM
pany to California, succeeding in break
ing one window and marring the wood
work of the car The porter in charge
of the sleeper saw two boys.
Sheriff Felipe Lucero started an in
vestigation yesterday morning and as
a result he has five men under sur
veilance. These will be detained until
the matter can be sifted TO the bottom.
Three of the boys are now in the county
jail awaiting examination.

delegation, it also involves the question
of the ownership of water which flows

The people were now crowding
around her husband praising his cour-

Some one touched Elizabe on the

Later, in their own room, after the
doctor had left and he lay on the
couch with helpless bandaged hands,
Elizabeth came over and knelt beside
him. For awhile neither spoke. then
he realized that she was sobbing
