Among the improvements which Robert
c. Watson, secretary of the United States
Golf Association, has under way, Is the
codifcation OF the rules OF golf. Rumor
has IL that the secretary is preparing some
thing unusual, and that when the work ~
completed devotees Of the game will be able
to find rules and interpretations at glance.
Apropos of the labors on the part Of the
secretary, mention might also be made OF
his efforts toward the formation Of bu-
reau OF information concerning profess
sionals No great progress has been ra--
ported as yet, but IL was the sense OF the
delegates that there was need for the work
Mr. Strawn took occasion to call attention

keepers I'm this country, and in his opinion
an unusual opportunity presents itself for
young men who are breaking into the pro-
fessional game each year.

MARROW LAD FOUND.
Grandfather Locates Remains Near
Place of Disappearance.

Algona, Ia, Aug. 39.-The body of
Daryl NARROW, the lost son of w. l..
NARROW, was found Saturday after
noon by the grandfather about one
mile from his home, badly decompos-
ed but identification was complete.
The case is shrouded in mystery as
searchers had covered the spot many
times.
The disappearance of the NARROW
child aroused natiora attention, ow-
ing to the great mystery which sur
rounded the case. Playing in the road
near his home, the 2-year-old boy was
missed an hour later and until Sat-
urday not the slightest trace had
been secured, though rewards total
ling $4,000 had been offered my the
parents, friends and citizens in near
by cities.
Every gypsy band in the state of
Iowa was watched with suspicion, in
the belief that the child might have
been stolen, and several arrests were
made, but nothing came CT them.
1t was supposed that the little boy
had been struck by an auto and the
body carried off in order to hide the
crime.

Farmers Pay by Check.

Time was, and most of us remem-
Der it, when the farmer pulled out a
pocket book with a wad of bills and
skinned off a few to settle his bill at
the store. 'Tisn't so now. Ask most
any merchant and he will tell you
that the farmer has quit carrying
a roll of bills and instead whips out
his check book and signs up a check
for the amount. This is much bet
ter system. 1t avoids a possibility
of error and the check comes back
as a receipt for the bill. And while
you may not have noticed 1T, IT is a
fact that the average farmer is able
to write his check up into four hg-
ures or more If he takes the notion.
1t may be when he buys that forty
or eighty that zines" his, or bunch
of stock, or quite possibly for JOY
wagon. A farmer was noticed re-
Gently with a load OF shingles IN the

the ground. And by the way he mad

Puppies Without Tails.

Webster City, Aug. 19.-If a dogs
tail is bobbed for twelve generations
will the thirteenth generation be born
with just enough of stub so that the
animal can pass in the very best of
canine society without the necessity
of having to be locked?
w. S. R. Perry of this city wants to
know, for one of the most curious
things that ever happened in animal
breeding has just happened at his
home. He owns thoroughbred ter
rior dog named "Tootsie"-a real
blue blooded Bourbon in the dog So
ciety of this city. Now for twelve
generations back Tootsie's ancestors
have worn their tails 'bobbed," for
in the best canine society, be it
known, bobbed tails have been quite
the style for many years. A dogs
bobbed tail, like a mans dress suit,
seems always to have been the very
height of Paris fashions.
Tootsie has just given birth to four
blue blooded puppies and of this
quartette, three were actually born
into the world with bobbed tails.
Tootsie is wonderfully proud of her
children, especially the three bobbed
infants. And the dogs have many
visitors, too, from dog fanciers who
are at loss to understand their Pc
culiar birth. The matter is being
much discussed and no one seems to
be able to explain the phenomenon
except on the theory that Tootsie's
family for twelve generations back
have worn bob tails.

Indian and Child Bride Killed.

A honeymoon of three weeks was
cut short Thursday when two young
Indians OF the Mesquaki tribe, John
LONE and his bride, Lucy Scott Lone
were instantly killed on the North
western tracks near Tama, Iowa, by
being run down by two locomotives.
LONE and his wife had been at
Marshalltown in the afternoon at
tending circus and had returned to
Tama at $40 in the evening. They
set out for the reservation by way of
the railroad track and had only gone
short distance when they were run
down by two engines which were run
ming backward. Both Of the victims
were terribly mangled. 1t is not
known why they failed to hear the
approaching locomotives.
Young Lone, who was twenty-five
years old, had been working in the
paper mills at Tama for three years
and was regarded as one of the stead
lest young braves in the tribe. His
briae was only thirteen years old.
The pair had been married only three
weeks.

LIVE WITH BROKEN BACKS.
Injuries that Usually Cause Death
are Survived by Knoxville
Men.

Knoxville, Ia, August 17.-Mar-
ion county has two citizens who are
living with broken backs, spinal col
umns fractured and dislocated and
vertebrae mashed.
The latest victim of back frac-
turing accident is Henry Horsman OF
Franklin township. He has been liv-
ing with broken back since the af-
ternoon of Wednesday, July Z, and is
in better condition at present than at
any time since the accident occurred.
surgeons in attendance now acknowl-
edge that the victim has a chance to
survive the terrible injury, but it is
said that in the event of such contin-
gency the man will always be para
lyzed from the waist to the tips of
his toes.
Mr.. Horsman was helping a neigh
Dor, George Schroeder, with thresh-
ing operations, and was standing in
front OF team when the stream
from the thresher engine "blew of. -
The frightened team jumped square
ly against Mr.. Horsman, throwing
him backwards in sitting position,
head bent forward. In that position
he was struck across the shoulders
by the wagon axle and his body dou-
bled in close loop.
The spinal column was bowed out
at the middle lumbar vertebrae and
so remained until adjusted by surg
con two hours later. The inner pro-
jections of at least two of the verte-
brae are said to be broken off and
the spinal cord caught between the
fractured edges.
The other victim of a broken back
is Charles McMillen of Knoxville. He
has survived seven years after mine
accident, in which two vertebraes of
the small of the back were fractured
and ground to small pieces. All of the
outer half of the two fractured joints
were taken out, exposing the spinal
marrow for space of nearly three
inches. Half of his body is paralyz-
ed and he has set helpless in a wheel
chair since early in the spring of
1905.

The Most Dangerous Wild Beast

This busy buZzing little beast, the
common house fly, is the most dang
erous and deadly wild animal in the
world. More persons are killed by it
every year than by all the other pois-
onous insects, all the snakes and
beasts of prey combined. More per-
sons fall victims each year to the
common house fly than are killed on
the fields of battle throughout the
world.
Capture one Of the most insignifi-
cant looking flies buzzing around the
baby's head as she lies sleeping, put
the fly under a microscope, and at
once its. character is revealed. You
can hardly refrain from starting back
in horror at the thought that your
baby is being constantly attacked by
so terrible beast. Each foot of the
fly is covered with claws and little
sticky hairs. You have seen many
times how the fly is continually rub
bling his feet together. He does this
to scrape off everything that adheres
to his feet and legs. These sticky
feet are loaded with germs and mi
crobes deadlier than bullets, and the
fly industriously wipes them off on
your baby's face or on your food.
Man made the fly by carelessness
in the disposal of filth The fly in
habits the dwelling places of man,
finding more to encourage it than to
discourage. Now man must unmake
the fly. The State of Utah has adop-
ted the slogan. Man must kill the
fly or the fly will kill the man." in
many cities rewards are being offered
for systematic determination of flies.
The tiny assassin, hitherto ignored
because of his diminutive size and fa-
miliar appearance, now has a price
set upon his head. Men and women
and even children are rising to swat
the fly" In one small city the result
of days campaign was ten barrels
full of dead flies as public exhib-
it.
Every family should join the cam
paign, and by strict cleanliness of
rooms and grounds and aggressive
warfare against every intruder
should Danish the house fly forever
from the home.-The Christian Her.

FROM CIRCUS CLOWN TO PULPIT
Sermons of Former Printer Lead to
His Call in the Ministerial
Field.

Webster City, Iowa, August 10
1t is some jump from the foreman
ship of country printshop to prin-
cipal clown with a big circus, but
it is a bigger jump by far from the
throne of clown alley to the pulpit
1t is just such a route as this, how
ever, which has resulted in "Rolly"
Wilson, principal clown with Coll
mar Bros. shows, becoming the Rev.
Raleigh NJ. Wilson.
The Gollmar circus was through
Iowa early this season, making Web
ster City along with a good many
other towns. Besides being principal
clown with the show, Wilson was al
so postmaster and in the parade play
ed the caliope. He made many friends
in every town visited because of his
manliness and strict attention to de-
tail in everything that meant the well
fare OF the circus. He came from a
little town in Wisconsin, where he
was foreman in a country print-shop.
He frequently took newspaper men TO
the show from the dressing room end
and, sitting at the head of clown al
ley always got a laugh from them
when he called attention to the ''thir-
ty-siX point border" he used on his
face in the makeup. Outsiders at
the show will remember him best
as the clown who put on the bar
bershop stunt" that act always bring
ing the biggest laugh.
One Sunday, while the show was
over in Nebraska, Wilson, by mistake
was called upon to preach to the
Gollmar employees. Nothing daunted,
the head clown and former printer
entered the pulpit and delivered an
excellent sermon. 1t made such hit
with the audience that he was asked
to speak again the following Sunday,
and now he has quit the sawdust ring
forever and gone to Lincoln, Neb., to
qualify as a minister of the gospel.
