UNLIMITED PLAYER IN GAME
Safe to Say Hawk Achieved No Pop.
uIarity Through His Appear
anoe 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. It was n 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 OPP
ponent, George w. Lyle. But even
they had not bargained on evil inten-
tions Of the bird. Therefore, they
were still more surprised when the
hawk dropped the ball farther down
the fair green, but in a very bad spot
in a bunker. Mr.. Yerkes was dis
pleased that such a fine drive had
been spoiled, and his friend was
somewhat gratihed.
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 1t was and count an extra shot.
However. it was determined that It
was a rub of the green, and Mr.. Yerkes
took more than one to get out of the
bunker.

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 a gem
uine Irish l%eprechaun leads n to ask
what exactly a 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 a second he has the power
Of vanishing, however tight you may
hold him, And his ingenuity in maxi
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 all temptations, kept his eye
on the little brogue maker until the
money was revealed in a field of rag
wort. But lie had no bag. So he tied
his garter round the particular plant
under which the money was hid, 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 a was travelling at fair
speed along a boulevard lined with
trees. Large locks 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 a 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 a 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.
