GOLF "PRO" TO BE ENvIED.
"Chick" Evans Says Professional Has
Easy Time.

According to Charles (Chick) Evans.
the average professional golfer is
an individual to be envied. because
throughout the summer he plays daily
the greatest game in the world"
thereby enjoying sunshine and fresh
air to his hearts content
The shift to winter berth in the
south also is pointed out as something
not to be overlooked. and then the re-
doubtable Chick goes on to show the
many opportunities for making money
encountered by the PRO" In conclu-
sion, he adds that the average profess
sional is not well to do. and he consid-
ers this the more remarkable consider
ing that most of them are Scottish.
There are many professionals in COM
Portable circumstances. but while some
jobs pay well it is hard shedding at
others. AS general thing the pros of
today are much more thrifty than the
lot that came here dozen years ago.

LEADERS OF MEN.
It Is by Success That They Attain
Prestige and Power.

It Is by Success That They Attain
Prestige and Power.
AS soon as certain number of living
beings are gathered together. whether
they be animals or men, they place
themselves instinctively under the au-
thority Of a chief.
AS enthusiasm becomes inf1amed it
happens most often that the then lead
er is he who started as one of the led.
He has himself been hypnotized by
the idea whose apostle he has since
become. 1t has taken possession of
him to such a degree that everything
outside it vanishes. and every contrary
opinion appears to him an error or a
superstition. IN time by affirmation,
repetition and contagion great powe,
is given to his ideas, and he acquires
that mysterious force known as pres
t1ge. Every successful man, every
idea that forces itself into recognition.
ceases ipso facto to be called in ques-
ton.
The proof that success Is one of the
principal stepping stones to prestige is
that the disappearance OF one is al
most always followed by the disap-
pearance Of the other. The hero whom
the crowd acclaimed yesterday is In.
suited today should he be overtaken
by failure. The reaction indeed will
be the stronger in proportion as the
prestige has been great-Le Bon in

Last year distinguished Japanese
official was in the hands of an enter
tainment committee and was seeing
the greatness of New York. The next
thing to be seen was the subway. and
the rush hour of the morning was Sc
lected SO that this observing Japanese
could see New York in Its most dem
ocratic scramble. The party was
jammed aboard a local at Times
Square. intending to take an express
at Grand Central. They were unable
to get out and proceeded to Four
teenth street. After passing Twenty
third street they got seats and were
comfortable. At Fourteenth street,
which is an express station. the guide
of the party rushed them across the
platform to an express, where they
were again crushed together most un-
comfortably. The Japanese official
noticed that the local train went on its
way with plenty of seats unoccupied.
He said nothing. but when they
alighted at Brooklyn bridge he saw
locals pulling in across the platform
and asked the guide to explain why
they changed in such a rush at Four
teenth street. why" said the New
Yorker, I'VE saved two minutes"

The proper way to grow sweet peaa
to their greatest perfection is to dig
a trench foot wide and foot deep

in water. AS soon as the seedlings
are six inches high I'LL in with earth

Garden in Hot Weather.

When hot weather visits us the fato

ly after hard days work. Remember
that the kind of weather that gives
you a very tired feeling, makes the
weeds grow rank and bold and dries
the garden soil until it is almost wa
terproof.
Probably you feel that you don't
need the exercise nearly as much as
you did in the spring, and probably
you are right; at the same time it will
do you good If you take it properly.
and you cannot afford to have the
garden go to pieces just when little
work will pull it through in grand
shape.
Get up half an hour earlier than
usual and do your garden work then.
instead of waiting until the tired even
tide or trying to lump it all into a
weeks end job. A little daily work
in the cool OF the early morning will
send you to your regular bread-and-

We have previously told you what
to do for the weeds, which, like the
poor, are always with us. Unlike the
poor, however. they need no assist

sistance, because they are altogether

Cut off their heads, cut off their

Bachelors Beat Their Studious

nOSTON, MASS.-There was a slump
b of 21O points in the shares of mar
riage preferred on the local matri-
monial exchange the other day when
the state legislature decided against
imposing a tax of IS year on all
unmarried men more than thirty-hve
years Of age.
There is a great deal to be done

out. as the state is said to have sew

ment of the bill meant its passage.
Boston bachelors, at any rate. were
not disposed to take any chances.
Boston girls are famous the world
over Just as are girls of every other
city, only the others are famed for
being beauties. In consequence there
has been a long sustained era of con

which gave way to a sigh of relief
that resembled an ocean breeze. Bos-

Sweet Peas.

No flower is more generally beloved
than the old fashioned Sweet Pea. 1t
was dear to the hearts of our great
grandmothers and their great-grand-
mothers as we'll, and for no telling
how many generations back of that.
1t belongs to large family whose
scientific name is taken from the pc
culiar butterhy-like form. of the bios
SONS. The garden varieties OF green
peas. string, wax. navy. pole and lima
beans and the ornamental beans, are
its first cousins. Some of our most
valuable field crops. notably alfalfa,
red, crimson, alsike and white clover.
are first cousins once removed, and
every wild flower that has the butter
fly blossom Is more or less distantly
related.
Really. we have immense cause to
be thankful for many members of the
leguminous plants. AS field crops
they form the finest kind of hay and
pasturage, and they are the only cul-
tivated plants that possess the power
of transferring nitrogen from the air
to the soil Without them it would be
practically impossible to keep our soil
productive.
In the floral field, this family Is not
SO numerously. prominent as some
other groups. but the Sweet Pea
makes up for any shortages in num-
bers by it's rare merit.
No flower will grow better under as
many varying conditions as this one.
Light soil or heavy, fertilizer or no
fertilizer, deep trench or shallow,
much care or little, it will do its very
best to bloom early and often, and it
will succeed most remarkably well.
Did you ever know any persons who
did not like the perfume of the Sweet
Pea? We do not. and we are sorry
for them if there be any such.
In variety of tints the most fastidi-
Gus can be suited. as there are 40 OF
so different shades and mixtures to
choose from. They range from a deep
pansy purple through all shades and
mixtures of blue and red, to the purest
vivid white. The colors are not mere
ly surface colors. They are deep
colors that actually live.

Sausage Puzzles Five Legal Stars; What Is It1

anything but sausage in sausage,
