 He resigned himself into the Custody of a professional Laddie with large staring Knuckles and a Dialect that dimmed all the memories of Lauder.
 In short time the Form was classy, but the Score had to be taken out and buried after every Round.
 MT. Pallzey saw that this Mundane Existence was not all Pleasure. He had found his Life-Work. The Lode Star of his declining Years would be an even one hundred for the eighteen Flags.
 Wife would see him out in the Street, feeling his way along, totally unmindtul of his Whereabouts. She would lead him into the Shade, snap her Fingers, call his Name, and gradually pull him out of the Trance.
 He would look at her with a filmy Gaze and smile faintly, as if partly re- inembering, and they say: "Don't Tor get to follow through.

 As a matter of course they had to give up their comfortable Home among the Friends who had got used to them and move out to a strawboard Bungalow so as to be near the Shambles.
 Mrs Pallzeys wanted to do the White Mountains, but MT. Pallzey needed her. He wanted her to be waiting on the Ve- randa at Dusk, so that he could tell her all about it from the preliminary Address to the final F'oozle.

 After that their Daily Life reyolved around the Department Store Bargain. Mrs. Pallzey had to use Metal Polish on it to keep it from turning Black.

 MT. Pallzey went away not knowing that he was a marked Man.
 On Monday he told the Stenographer how he stung the Ball the first time up He said he was naturally quick at pick ing up any kind of a Game. He thought it would be Lark to get the hang of some of those Berties in the White Pants. He figured that Golf would be Pipe for anyone who had played Base ball when young.
 Truly all the raving is not done with in the Padded Cells.
 He came home in the Sabbath twi- light, walking on his Ankles and bap- bling about Dandy Drive for the Long Hole.
 Regarding the other SIS Strokes he was discreetly silent.
 He told his Wife there was more in 1t than one would suppose. The Easier the Swat, the greater the Carry. Ana he had made one Hole in seven
 Then he took ParasoI out of the Jar, and illustrated the famous Long Drive with Moving Pictures, Tableaux, Delsarte, and some newly acquired tech nicaF Drivel which he mouthed with childish Delight

 He sallied forth with those going to Early Mass, and returned at the Yes per Hour caked with Dust and ninety eight per cent Locoed.
 It seems that at the sixth hole on the Last Round where you cross the Crich twice. he fell down and broke both Arms and both Legs. So he tore up the Medal Score, gave all the Clubs to the Caddy and, standing on the grass Sum init of the tall Ridge guarding the Bunk CT, he had lifted grimy Mitt and ut tered the Vow of Renunciation.
 In other words, he was Through.

The Dinner was postponed until late in the Day because they all dreaded it so much Friend Host said he had a twosome on at the Club and was trying out an imported CleelS, so he invited MT.

 If he had said that he was going up in a Balloon to hemstitch a couple of Clouds, it would have sounded just as plausible to MT. Pallzey of the Whole sale District.
 The latter went along, just out of Po- pointed in his Friend. It certainly did seem trifling for a Huskie weighing one hundred and eighty to pick on something about the sibze of a Robins Egg.
 Mir Pallzey played Gallery all around the Course. He would stand behind them at the Tee and smile in a most arid and patronizing Manner while they sand-shuf- fled and shifted and jiggled and Joggled and went through the whole calisthenic Ritual of St. Vitus.
 He was surprised to note how far the Ball would speed when properly spanked, but he thought there was no valid ex- cuse for overrunning on the Approaches. MT. Pallzey found himself criticizing the Form of the Players That should have 5een his Cue to climb the Fence.

that since writing that article we
have learned that that statement is
probably not true, as we have discov-
cred that this city contains several
persons Of this class who could easily
keep the title away from Reynolds,
and therefore we wish to make full
%retraction Of that statement at this
time. The word "cur" means a
worthless dog, and therefore we be-
lieve that we overstepped the bounds
OF propriety in making the charge
that Reynolds is a cur, and we wish
to retract that statement. We will
leave it to the public to judge for
themselves on this point. We do not
desire to charge any person with an
unproven crime, and as we do not care
to go to the bother and expense of
trying to prove Mr.. Reynolds a black
mailer at this time we make full re-
traction of the statement that he is
a blackmailer. AS to his trying to
get money out of the various candi-
dates we maintain that this is true,
as we have the word of some of those
whom he approached. There is one
thing sure, and that is that this man

our standing in the county, we would
like to a this: "Mr. Reynolds is

of anything and everything that is not

make such a statement, we would feel
that neither this paper or it's editor
