COULDN'T SEE THE HUMOR
Ensllshwoman Nobiy Upheld Tradl-
tIons Of Her Race When . Witty
Remark Was Made.

There were three Americans In the
party. four Scotchwomen, and one
who was English. and they were hav-
ing tea one rainy afternoon in Edin-
burgh. One of the Americans had
changed the subject Of conversation
from humor to golf. She had gracious
ly agreed with the Englishwoman that
It was quite too absurd to say that
English people were slow to see a
joke. She had even. with NO effect of
perJuring herself, admitted that the
English mind accepted light and friv-
olous remarks in q thoroughly light
and frivolous spirit. She had been
most agreeable. and then she began
to talk, as every American who goes
to Scotland must sooner or later =

the Scotch played golf in the rain.

said. for two weeks. 1t has rained
every day for 10 days. The Brunts-
field links look like a lake. And yet
there are people playing golf there;
there have been people playing golf
in the rain every day I've been here
quite as many as on the one day when
the sun shone for AZ minutes! And
all the time I've been in Scotland
every one Of the 20 days--I have seen
men and women and children driving
balls over puddles. Does 1t make 1t
better sport? Or do they love 1t SO
that they can't miss day, even whom
it's pouringf Or il 1t that It always
rains?"
The Scotchwomen smiled, but no
one had an answer ready. And one of
the other Americans permitted herself
a light remark.

fortune. I'm going to invent q golf
stick that has an umbrella on the 9TH

yourself and hit with the other. Isn't
1t great?"
The Scotchwomen laughed. The
other Americans laughed. The Eng

spoke earnestly.

Alma FAdema's House.

According to the London Globe the
efforts to acquire Alma Tademas
house as q national possession were
never very theoretically supported
doubtless owing to tho non-success
that attended previous attempts IN

1t is, therefore. not surprising to
hear that they have failed, and that
the house will shortly be offered for
sale by public auction. 1t is much to be
hoped, says The Globe. that this may
not lead to It's dismantltng, but that
its purchaser may be one who will be

The venerable and it would seem
threadbare, Spanish fortune" swindle
has been resurrected once more, and
letters are now being received in vari-
Gus sections of Maine These letters
tell the same old story, that the writ
er, under arrest, could have access to
large fortune of embezzled money L
he could get the expenses of trial and
gain access to place where the nee
cessary documents are hidden. The
amount represented in the letters is
$4S0,000 and the writer who signs
himself s. Solovieff, asserts he is will
ing to part with third of the money
to get the funds. AS in all these let
ters, the writer requests his victim to
answer by cable If he is willing to
commit himself to the enterprise. The
letters are postmarked from Madrid,
and an alleged newspaper clipping of
the writer's arrest is enclosed. Hun
dreds of people have been victimized
by this game The intended victim is
usually lured to some city like New
York, after several communications,
and Is then robbed or buncoed out of
various sums of money. A human in
terest touch is implied in the letters
by the writer. In every case refer
enc is made to some beautiful girl
who will be saved by the victim and
who is used as an accomplice in the
final development of the swindle.

In addition to selling a soc bottle of
