UNLIMITED PLAYER IN GAME
Safe to Say Hawk Achieved No Pop
uIarity Through His Appear
ance on Golf Links.

After making a long shot from the
tee on the Hackensack golf links, H.
o. Yerkes watched the ball as it sped
through the air. 1t was one of those
drives which the average player
thinks that he ought to make all the
time.
Mr. Yerkes had not bargained for in
reference with the ball, and he was
amazed to see a big hawk follow the
white speck When the ball fell to the
fair green the hawk was seen to alight
on it and carry it away. Mr.. Yerkes
was dumfounded, as was also his op-
ponent, George w. Lyle. But even
they had not bargained on evil inten-
tons of the bird. Therefore, they
were still more surprised when the
hawk dropped the ball farther down
the fair green, but in very bad spot
in bunker. Mr.. Yerkes was displeas-
ed that such a fine drive had been
spoiled, and his friend was somewhat
gratified.
Mr.. Yerkes thought he ought to be
permitted to put the ball back where
it landed before the bird picked it up,
but Mr.. Lyle declared that he thought
his opponent ought to let his ball lie
where it was and count an extra shot.
However, it was determined that 1t
was rub Of the green. and Mr.. Yerkes
took more than one to get out OF the
bunker.

FiuhtInq Grasshoppers.

Giant grasshoppers are prevalent in
the West Indies, where they are re-
garded as a serious sporting PROPOSE
ton. These creatures are active, pow
erful in proportion to their size and of
exceedingly combative disposition. APP
parently they would rather fight than
eat up the crops and vegetation. They
have spiked legs provided with spurs
or gaffs, which they use as weapons
against one another after the manner
of trained gamecocks. A favorite pas
time of the Carib sports is to match a
pair of these insect champions against
one another in regulation contest.
which is fought on the fingers of hui
man umpire's hand-often to his seri-
Gus discomfort There is liberal bet
ting on the favorites.

Proved Truth Of Answer.

On a visit to st. Louis, Archbishop
Ryan, a noted Philadelphia prelate.
rode in carriage to the parochial
residence with Bishop Glennon. who is
rather diminutive in size and of slight
build, especially in the stomachic re-
gions, while Archbishop Ryan is tall
and very robust. AS they alighted from
the carriage, Archbishop Ryan said to
his companion: Bishop Glennon, |
once was asked to explain the differ
ence between bishop and an arch
bishop. l answered" (and the arch
bishop extended his arms in semi
circle from his own healthy body, at
the same time glancing rather sharply
at Bishop Glennon), "The difference
is all in the arch.

Plea for Kitchen

The kitchen should be the refinery,
the laboratory, the factory of the
home, and the pivotal point about
which the activities of the home re-
volve. Costa should be considered
houghtfully; no scrap Of food should
be used again in various ways. By
buying staple food supplies in large
quantities from Is to 80 per cent
can be saved. Any one wishing to
do so may economic in this way.
Housewives must not look upon their
art as mere drudgery; they must
bring education, intelligence, and con
centration into practice. They should
learn, as manufacturers have, that
the best results are to be obtained in
a workshop that is we'll lighted, prop
erly ventilated, and comfortably
large, suitably furnished, and SAM
tary in all it's equipments.-Leslie's

NEARLY HAD THE LEPRECHAUN
Elusive Fairy Played Mean Trick on
Peasant Who Had Fairly Made
Him His Prisoner.

The story of the boy who was ex-
hibited throughout Scotland as gen.
uine Irish leprechaun leads one to ask
what exactly leprechaun is, for, of
course, each variety of fairy has its
special characteristics. The lepre-
chaun is peculiar to Ireland, and is
in the form of a little old man, by
profession a maker of brogues. He
is only discovered by the sound OF
the hammering of his brogues, and
any one capturing him can induce
him by threats to reveal where his
wealth is hidden. But no one yet has
laid hands on that wealth, for if you
take your eye off the leprechaun for
as much as second he has the power
of vanishing, however tight you may
hold him. And his ingenuity in max
ing you glance away is always sue
cessful
Only once did that ingenuity fail,
and even then the treasure escaped
unpillaged. A careful peasant, proof
against al temptations, kept his eye
on the little brogue maker until the
money was revealed in a field of rag
wort. But he had no bag. So he tied
his garter round the particular plant
under which the money was mid, and
went to fetch one, only to find on his
return that every ragwort in the field
was adorned with a red garter.

What One SparroW Did.

What is perhaps the most remark
able accident that ever occurred was
reported last month from Germany,
according to Leslie's Magazine. A
large touring car was travelling at fair
speed along a boulevard lined with
trees. Large f1ocks of sparrows were
in the trees and several boys were
taking chances of being arrested by
the police by shooting at the birds
with sling shots. One pebble, particu-
larly we'll aimed, struck sparrow on
the upper wing and sent him gliding
through the air directly toward the
driver, of the car; the bird struck him
full in the face, and in the next in
slant things began to happen. The
driver clutched at his eyes, the car
lurched into the ditch, knocking down
a telegraph pole, vaulted to plowed
field on the other side Of the ditch
and went full force into a huge hay
stack. Despite this wild swerve no
one was even scratched except the
driver, whose eyesight was damaged
by the claws of the sparrow. The
whole incident had taken far less time
than needed to relate it.

THINKS IMMIGRATION IS IN AIR
Writer'S Explanation OF Vital Differ
ence Between the londoner
and the New Yorker.

The difference between New
York and London" man once said
to me, lis this: In New York, if you
have a new idea, you can get it car
ried out at once; in London, il you
have a new idea, you are up against
a brick wall"
believe this to be true, writes
Maurice Barring in the Metropolitan.
People in New York, and in America
in general, are not afraid of new
ideas, nor, indeed, Of anything new.
They are not afraid of the future. In
England, if man finds, for instance,
that his profession is uncongenial to
him, however certain he may be of
the impcssibility of his making sue
cess of it, he will none the less very
rarely give it up, and try his hand
at something else. The future alarms
him. In America a man will think
nothing of throwing up his profession
twenty times running, until he finds
something which does suit him.
| think the cause of this particular
difference lies in the climate of Amer
lea, and especially lies in the climate
of New York. Just as the climate of
some places fills the whole system
with an invincible desire to do moth
ing, with an insuperagle languor and
sloth, in the same way the climate
of New York fills the body and mind
with the desire to be up and about.
1t is the nimble air which produces
the nimble wits; the stimulating at
mosphere which creates, in the deni-
zen of New York, the love of hustle,
hurry competition and work. l am
not saying this is either a good thing
or bad thing-I am merely noting
and recording what struck me as be-
ing the. main differences between New
York and London.
