Links" az Applied to Golf.

And speaking of games, how many
know the origin of the word links" as
applied 70 the field on which golf ia
playedY The dictionary says that
links" means stretch of sandy soil,
interrupted by heather. But it comes
from an old Saxon word -"hlinc," which
means ledge, an embankment, a
boundary. Malvern Link and the
Links Of st. Andrews were there and
somebody invented game to go with
them.

Endurance.

Whether it may seem paradoxical
or not, it is fact in our nature that,
without endurance, life ceases to be
enjoyable; with out pains accepted,
pleasure will not be permanent. A life
from which everything that has in it
the element of pain is banished, be-
comes life not worth having or
worse, of intolerable tedium and dis
gust.-James Hinton.

vocation was vending peanuts, his

part of the Outlook story says:
"A day came when the Universi-

an emissary to the Kansas City Ii
brarian with the request that the
latter name a good man for the

The New Books
University History.

One phase of the approved study
of history is the relation of events
to one another. An understanding
of the significance and causation of
events is greatly aided when the
relations between them are made
clear.
George Palmer Putnam began
the compilation of his Tabular
Views of Universal History" in
1882. The book has been revised,
enlarged and published again sew
eral times, the latest edition being
that of 1907, which has been con-
tinued to date by Lynds E. Jones
and Simeon Strunsky.
This work presents to the read
er a series of chronological tables,
giving. in parallel columns, a rec
ord of the noteworthy events in the
worlds history. The dates begin
at about 5000 B. c., and the tables
are carried down to June s, 1907.
A glance at the columns of a page
shows what events were contem-
poraneous, or nearly so, with the

A Carnegie Library? No.

Editor The Missourian:- :-Anoth-
er movement for a Carnegie libra
ry has been started in Columbia.
Should Columbia have one? No.
To found a Carnegie library here
would necessitate useless, a
wasteful expenditure of money. In
the first place several thousands of
dollars would have to be raised
with which to buy a lot and erect
a building. Then there would be
an annual expense for upkeep and
administration. A librarian and
assistants would have to be en-
ployed, a janitor hired, light and
water bills met, and repairs made
from time to time All this would
have to be met by a tax levy on
the city And after these pri-
mary things are disposed. of money
would have to be raised for the
buying OF books.
Why spend money for a building,
its upkeep and administration
when the University Library meets
all of these needs most adequately,
The University Library lacks in
only two things that a Carnegie Ii
brary would supply to the city;
that is, large amount of popular
fiction and children's books. In
everything else it far surpasses
anything a Carnegie library could
afford.
Now with only part of the mon
ey necessary to found a Carnegie |
library a permanent book fund
could be established with which to
supply fiction and children's books.
These books could be given or lent
to the University Library, and, if
you like, the collection could be
known under some special name
such as the present collection of
books in the Lathrop library. If
not at present, perhaps when the
new building is fully completed a
special room could be set aside for
his fiction where the people could
have access to the shelves and look
over the books.
This plan would serve a much
better purpose and do away with
Ill the other expense connected
With Carnegie library. c.

CONSTANTINOPLE, THE PRIzEg

Is Constantinople once more to
be rich prize of war? It seems not
at all unlikely.
Ever since it was founded that
city has been a coveted spot. The
comparative inland condition of
the countries of Europe and their
desire for seaports has always been
a trouble maker. Constantinople
from the first has been one of the
most important seaports of Europe
both from a commercial and
strategic point of view, and be-
cause of this it has figured prom
inently in the great wars of the
past. That Russia and Austria, es-
pecially, have long coveted this
city is no secret, but because of the
Jealous1es of all European powers
the Turk has been allowed to re-
main in possession of it.
If Russia and Austria in their
part in the war have as their OBJ
jective the possession of Constan-
tinople nothing more favorable
could have happened than the
drawing of Turkey into the trouble |
1t will mean that European Turkey
will be in at the finish, and it is
scarcely probable that in the re-
making of boundaries Constanti-
nople will be left as she has been
since 1453 A. d. 1t will be the one
chance for picking this valuable
plum.

WHEN 1T MEANS MONEY.

Nearly two hundred thousand
votes defeated statewIde prohlDl-
ton and also adopted a referendum
amendment prohibiting another
vote on the question within a pc
riod of eight years, in California,
Tuesday, November 3.
The campaign against prohibition
was waged almost entirely on the
plea that its passage would de-
stroy vineyards and wineries worth
more than two hundred million dol
lars. Many prominent citizens, in
cluding clergymen, proclaiming
their opposition to the proposed
law, declared they would support
a measure aimed at the saloons
alone.
That wine forms part of the
stock which keeps the saloons, not
only of California, but of the en-
tire United States in business. That
wine helps to send many a girl to
the red light district. That wine
starts many a man toward a drunk
ards grave.
But what's that to two hundred
million dollars?

GideOn's Band.

Ramsey Hayle was a Southern
girl of 1852, and a bit forward.
Hugh Courtney was very solemn
and serious for a young man OF
the early South. Ramsey's father
was the owner of river boats and
was the rival of Hugh's father in
river freighting. But Ramsey
wanted to get to Louisville as early
as possible and that is why she,
accompanied by her mother, went
abroad the Votaress, a rival boat,
for its first trip up the river. And
it was by accident that Hugh
Courtney on his fathers boat had
to take the place of a captain whoa
had broken his leg.
The romance on this up-the-river
trip between the son and the
daughter of owners of rival boat
lines makes "Gideon's Band" a
pleasing tale. But George w. Ca
BILE, master of the dialect of Louisi-
ana Creoles, usually writes a pleas
ing novel. The sworn revenge
of Gideon Hayle and his sons for |
the fancied injuries from John
Courtney; the love of Hugh Court
ney for Ramsey, the rivals daugh-
ter; the coming of the cholera
scourge among the immigrants on
the boat; the near mutiny of RAM
sey's twin brothers on board with
the aid of a Southern politician, a
gambler and an exhortlr-these
we're situations Hugh Courtney had
70 face when making his first trip
rom New Orleans.
Mr.. Cable, although reluctant in
he use of Creole patios, permits
Mrs. Hayle to speak as among the
Jreoles of Louisiana. However,
he family skeleton of the Hayles
vas learned by Ramsey from her
Nurse, a negress; and imagine
,irl of marriageable age having a {
lack nanny nurse-but that was '
he early South. The family skel- &
ton had meant the first open &
'reak between the rival owners of {
iver boats. The miscegenation
vii of Louisiana is handled deli
ately, although a missing octo-
DON is in the background most of (
he time. A touch of tragedy goes q
nth her name. Again there is trag- s
dy when Ramsey's youngest t
rother, victim of cholera, while I
n his deathbed in a berth of the f
otaress, ask Hugh and Ramsey v
, marry and makes his revenge p"
IL twin brothers swear net to c
arm Captain Courtney.
The plot of "Gideon's Band" is
OF strong and no moral stands out
The book is pleasing b
lroughout with the quaint charac- t
RS of the South. 1t isn't a grip "
ing novel, but you are always u
ordering just how Hugh will :
7ercome the VOWS of the Hayle
wins to kill him on sight if he 4
arried their sister, and just how
will gain the consent of Gideon
ayle. But Mr.. Cable tells that
ell; how Captain Hugh Courtney
comes a member of Gideon's
md when he announces that he

Get Enough Runs to Win
Easily-Zimmerman, at
His Old Tricks, Is
Banished.

Henie Zimmerman is at 1t again.
He fingered in the opening game of the
series between the Cubs and Superbas
at Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon
just long enough to convince the fans
that he was still with the Chicago nine.
The umpires made it plain that his
room was worth his company after he
threw the bail over the Grandstand be
fore play started in the last half OF
tho fourth inning. His exhibition OF
petulance did not prevent the Superbas
from winning the game by score of
z to ,.
In the third inning he made a wild
heave to the plate, which allowed n
runner to score. The interest of the
crowd waned after the third. In that
frame the Superbas got together for
half a dozen runs, in which triples by
Daubert and Cutshaw played their part.
In addition to these the Superbas
punched four lesser drives and two
bases on balls around two glazing err
rors by the only Zim. That inning
brought about the downfall Of Jimmy
Lavender. Pierce, the southpaw. took
his place, and later yielded 70 Smith
All the runs we're made off Lavender.
Frank Allen, the left handler, pitched
ore of his good games and was seldom
in trouble. In the sixth frame he was
nickcd for a brace of tallies. Pierce
was safe on Cutshaw's error, but was
forced by Leach Knisely batted for
Good and tripled, scoring Leach, and
ne in turn tailed on Saier's sacrifice
fly to Myers. Allen had an able assist
ant in Cutshaw. who drove out triple
and two two-base hits. Daubert also
rot brace Of safeties.
The score follows:
