HAWK GETS BALL.
Mischievous Bird Carries 1t to Bad
Spot and Spells Golfers Drive.

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
| interference 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 and carry it away. Mr..
YerkeS was dunn bounded, as was
also his opponent, George w. Lyle.
But even they had not bargained on
evil intentions of the bird. There
fore, they We're still more surprised
when the hawk dropped the ball
further down the fair green, but in a
very bad spot in a bunker. Mr..
Yerkes was displeased 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 it
was a rub of the green, and Mr..
YerkeS took more than one to get
out of the bunker.-New York Her

Mint IS ROBBED
Silver Dollars Taken From
Sacks at Frisco.
Iron Washers Put i'm Place Of
Stolen Coin.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The United
States mint at San Francisco has been
robbed, although it is believed the
amount is small. 1t will require a dol
lar for dollar count of the $4,000, 900 of
silver stored there to discover the ex-
act loss. Only 81 have been found to
be missing UP to this time, but the
circumstances indicate the sum will be
increased.
George E. Roberts, director of the
mint today said undoubtedly that there
had been a scheme of petty pilfering
but he was confident no great amount
had been stolen. The stealing he adj
ded, was from the great stack of sill
yer dollars stored in bags containing
81 900 each. In a few of these bags it
was found that one or two dollars had
been taken and iron washers substitu-
ted. The small amounts stolen from
each bag led Mr.. Roberts to believe the
thefts had not been extensive.
The count of coin at San Francisco
now in progress, was undertaken in ac-
cordance with custom to verify the
accounts upon the assumption of the
H. Shanahan, recently appointed to
succeed Frank Leach. Usually a few
bags of silver are counted and weigh
ed, and the remainder weighed against
them. Undoubtedly the thief expected
the iron washers to balance the weight.
Mr.. Roberts thinks the money pro-
badly was stolen some years ago when
the silver was placed in sacks. There
las been no coinage of silver since 1904,
and it is thought the thefts took place
before then. The count has been in
progress a month and it will take sew
eral weeks and probably months more
to count the entire $61.000,O 900.

WASHINGTON AS A MASON.
Father of His Country Initiated Before
He Reached Twenty-One.

1t was 100 years ago-Aug. ., 1853
that George Washington was raised
from the dead level to the living per-
pendicular'' and given the well-earned
right to look upon the ''hieroglyphic
light which none but craftsmen ever
saw"
The venerable and venerated records
of Fredericksburg lodge show that
Washington was initiated on Nov. 4.
1852, passed fellowcraft March 3. 1853,
and was raised to the sublime degree
of master Mason Aug. 4, 1853
Strange to say it appears to be a fact
that the Father of His Country was
initiated before he had reached the re-
quired age of q years. Daniel Camp
bell. master of the lodge, granted the
special dispensation which enabled the
candidate to begin his eastward jour-
ney while still a minor.
Grand Master French, of the District
of Columbia. declared in an address
delivered in 1851 that no one stopped to
inquire about Washingtons age when
his petition was presented; that the
majestic proportions of the candidate,
together with his we1l-known character
and ability, -ade upon all concerned
the impression that might have been
made by thoroughly matured man.
1t appears, however, that the dispen-
sation was based upon the fact that
the candidates pressing duties de-
manded it. So busy man was to be
received when it was convenient for
him.
Washington remained a member of
the Fredericksburg lodge to the day of
his death. Among the many other dis
tinguished men whose names appear
upon the rolls of the lodge are George
Weldon. W2shington's adjutant gen.
eral; Gen. Hugh Mercer, who fell at
the battle of Princeton; Jacob Won

which the origin of the belief can be
ascertained with any degree of GER
tainty.
These blood-sucking apparitions, or
living, mischievous, murderous dead
bodies" al one writer quantity termed
them, We're common to all countries,
whether Occidental or Oriental, but it
was generally agreed that the phenom-
ena of vampirism were to be seen only
in persons cursed by their parents, ex-
communicated by the church, the lille
climate offspring of parents them
selves illegitimate or people attacked
by vampires-these all became vam-
pires after death.
Quite recently there was reported in
the daily press the story of a Hungar-
ian farmer who had dug up the corpse
of a supposed vampire. stuffed three
pieces of garlic and three stones in the
mouth and then driven a stake through
the body. Servia and Bulgaria follow
closely in the wake of Hungary, and in
the eighteenth century an official ex-
animation of many graves was made,
and the report of such examination
embodied in a public document. 1t
states that a large number of unde
composed bodies, undoubtedly those of
vampires, We're discovered. In 1868
there was an epidemic of vampirism in
Bulgarian village.
The inha bitants became so frightened
that when night set IN instead OF re-
firing to rest in the usual manner they
all assembled together in one central
hall to pass the night in company.
While they We're away from their
houses. however, the enraged vampires
entered them. turned everything topsy
turvy and smeared all the pictures, or
naments and furniture with blood and
dirt.
The Russians hold tenaciously to
belief in the reality of VAMPIRES but
they attribute the birth of a vampire
as due to an unholy union between a
witch and a werewolf. or a devil. In
many parts of Russia watchers remain
by the dead right through every night
until burial.-LOndon Standard

Washington, Sept. 27.-Wm. ]. Bry-

old black one, the sort that the car

handed out to the old clothes monger
and it is replaced with a new green
one, a lovely fuzzy velvety velour,
such as is often seen in the hat shop
windows with the card attached,

Democratic nominee has become

friends have pointed out that he really
didn't buy the hat; it was sold to him.
