Crate care should be exer- cised not to swing the club moor back than forth, or vise-versee, it should be dun in proportion. It is at this point that you as sume the air of non -shallants-I don t know as sed before what this is, but it is safe to assume it, for it is verry popular in our best golf sireles.
 This is, of corse, the inissial prepara- sions for hitting the ball When you hit the ball you must be governed entirely by what happens. If you have newer hit one, there is absolutely no telling what will happen and not much telling if you have. That's the buty of the game. Verry likely the ball will fly up and stick to your rite eye in a

Then you must take a three munths corse in nite school on the proper language to use on the golf corse. You must learn to swear in the proper tone of voice and in correct and fluent style. You probably think you know how to swear. A man who has attended ball games and rubbed up against professional swearers all his life is liabull to deceeve himself in this respect and make "bally ass' of himself the verry first time he appeers cn the golf corse. You cannot use the ordinary curses of commerce, or the apparently sientiffic and effective oathes of the Pirate, even the cursess that weer so popular resently at Chicargo would be entirely inadequate for a golf game. This is verly importint point.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-09-15

After all these preelmmernerries air at tended too, the next thing is to hike down to the golf corse and play the game. The corse usually consists of a square mile or so of peevish landscape, selected at randum. The moor randum it is the moor 1t is to the liking of the regulers who want to pose as being verry, verry athetick and all that '' dontcher know" but it is verry annoying to brand new milyunair, and it take rib bon counter member of the malefactors of grate wealth a long time to get used to it. When you air reddy to begin play, you take your cute little golf ball, which is composed of fretful and stubborn gutter percha, and put it on the Tee. The Tee is maid of sand and 1t is not convenient to carry 1t along with you. Golf players just learning the game should refrain frum trying to carry there Tees along in there pants pocket; just remember that you will find anuther Tee at the next hole-week after next--if you live to reech it.

You need not be at all backward about swearing at your caddy. He is used to it, but always remember that he is yung per sun who is used to the very latest and most correct terms of swearing. He is carefully trained as to his part in the game and he will get on your nerves like a sore thumb in the briefest space of time It is not propper to hit caddy with wooden club. Always Use one of the cute little iron putters on the caddy, if you want to see the sparks emitted rum his he'd. Sum golf players carry a short poiseman' s billy to use on the caddy, but the ordinary Putter will in most cases answer all purposes.
 There air times when you feel like you would like to take the caddv across your knees and take down-his name and ad- dress so that you can have him fired but you must not do this-it isn't propper
 If you air new player after you have succeeded in getting the ball in one of those little holes 246 yards rum the starting point, you air usually verry fateeged. You air also verry warm. You have hiked ovver several miles of unduating scenery, climed hills and crossed creeks and mountains. and you have worked up fluent perspirasion that would make a sawmill hand smell like corrupt administration in hot room, and you long to quit, and you usually do and also mentally figure how much you could get for second hand golf outfit But you always cum back and try it again, and then agaln, and finally you get so you can make the hole round of 10 holes in less than . week
 Golf IS grate game. It is imported, and was sneeked in before we had protec- tive tariff If you have newer played the game you ought to try it one time and then unless you air verry wealthy indeed we be- leeve that you could struggle along for menny, menny yeers on the ordinery happi- ness occasioned by weekly opportunity to swear at the Umpire Yours trooly,

"WoMAx SUFFRAGE"
Interesting Lecture by Mrs. Morrill,
Hsn1in at Library Hall.

Mrs Morrill, Hamlin gave a mosb
Interesting lecture, on Woman Suf-
frage," Tuesday afternoon, in the
Library hall. before a good-sized and
very enthusiastic class. The speaker
in very eloquent manner explained
the subject in detail and She held the
closest attention OF the members
throughout her hours talk. After the
Ilecture the speaker answered the va
rious questions about 'Woman Suf-
frage,' which We're asked her by some
Of the ladies present.
She told in detail about the strong
argument which Miss O'Reilley made
in relation to women's right to vote,
before the judiciary committee Of the
House of Representatives, in March,
1912. She said that most people have
always claimed that a person who
votes should have power enough 10
enforce their vote, and that this has
been one of the greatest reasons why
women have not been given a right
10 vote. She said that it is different
now and that this reason does not
seem sufficient 20 keep women from
acquiring the ballot.
In explaining the Anti Snffragctte
movement. the speaker said that this
class of women claim that only about
1900. 600 out of the 45,o00,o00 women in
the United States wish to vote, and
that these 100000 should not force the
other women TO vote against their own
wishes.
Mrs Hamlin stated that Wisconsin
anu Ohio had defeated the referendum,
and that il was hoped that it would
be defeated in New York, this winter,
when il comes up before the Lcgisla-
ture. She said that the militant Suf-
fragettes have injured the cause and
have been hindering the women from
getting votes because of their violent
acts upon people who do not really
oppose them. she declared that women
were fully us intelligent and as capable
of voting as men, but whether they
would wish the responsibility of cast
ing a vote ON great political questions
is another question,
