BENEDICT Xy.

As was expected the action Of the sacred college resulted in the election of an Italian cardinal as a successor to Piux X, and the early choice was in accordance with the demands of the European conditions. Giacono della Chiesa, who will assume the |name of Benedict KY, like his prede- cessor probably went to Rome with Ht- tie thought that he would remain. Ger tainly he was not among those most prominently mentioned. He has been eligible to the office only a little over three months, but his training his been such, and he has been in such close touch with the diplomatic conduct of the great religious organization, that he is especially well, qualified for the duties which will be required of him.
 In his selection, however, the fact was probably not lost sight of that he has been particularly active in his. ef- forts against modernism in the church, having been named as Archbishop of Bologna because of his known ability for the handling of that question in that center of the movement. That his work there. combined with the other qualifications of the brilliant church man won for him the appoint ment as cardinal last May is not inn probable, and his choice as the pope means the continuance of the stand which the late Pope Piux X took in handling certain questions which con- fronted him during his term.
 Being only in his sixtieth year, Ben edict XIV has the prospect of serving many years as the head of the Roman Catholic church.

WEsTERN MINERS.

Even the trouble which took place in the Colorado mining sections has not served to deter Montana miners nom becoming engaged in fight among themselves, which gives little respect to lawful conditions. and small evidence Of desire to settle it peace- fully. How serious the situation, waieaa has been developing fon some time. has become, is indicated by the ,pAttinE of the state under martial lew with the state authoriries doing thelr hest In an endeaTor to handle .tlse situation.
 DafEefinE from the Colorado and the Michigan trouble, that in Butte is not b6$ween the miners and the operators, but between two factions of the min CTS, one the supporters of the western ife5eration and the other the radical members who have a leaning towards the I.

The result has been to place the whole community in an uproar. and well il raixf.t, with dynamite being resorted to as q trump card.
 The regrettable feature is that force has been determined upon to settle the troubles even to the point where fears of the inability of the state to control the situation have resulted ir | call for federal aid.

THEN-and-NOW

Today golf, beginning as a so- cfety fad In the United States, has become a pastime at which a vast fortune, estimated as high as $50,- 000, 900, is spent every year in the United States There are said to be more than, 200. 900 active players who are driving the gutta percha balls over links whose combined acreage in the United States is nearly twice as large as the District of Columbia Some of the American club houses are veritable mansions; one in the middle west has cost to date over $750,0o0 for the golfng course, the club house and the equipment. The exact amount Of money reaped annually by the American caddies is not definitely known, but it probably equals the amount paid in Great Britain, which Is estimated at SIP, ,500, 900. Other items that go to make up the annual tribute to golf are clubs and balls. The value of the clubs in use Is estimated at nearly S1,000,0 900. while the balls are valued at over S6,000,- 900. Golf has spread throughout the world. In Europe there is scarcely a country without its golf links and players. Japan has one of the finest courses in the world. Mexico is rapidly becoming known for its links. While all classes have taken to the sport with the enthu- siasrn, kings and queens, not to mention the lesser lights of royalty and the nobility, are ardent de- voices. King Alfonso has his pri- vote links in Spain and has taught his English-born queen to play the game.

Of the twenty contes- was declared the winner and the fiyst American amateur champion. Golf in the United States. is said to date from the establishment of the St Andrews Golf Club at Yon- kers, N.

South Caro- linans, however, claim that it was played in their state century eS for and point to the flies of the Charleston City Gazette, when an 17SS, states: ''* there is lately erected that pleasing and general amusement, the golf baan'' Golf was played in Scotland. said by many to be its place of birth, generations before Columbus made known that there was an America. One prominent American educator has said that he head an account of a. golf game written by the s ancient Aristotle, and had found reference to the sport in the Bible. It is also claimed that Holland was it's place of origin. In the earliest records of Scottish history, literature and even legislation, golf occupies } prominent place. Over four cen turies ago the sport had so over whelmed archery, the soldiers training. that the Scottish legisla- ture decreed that 'the fut ball and golf be utterly cryit doun and nocht usit." Forbidden to the masses, it remained a royal pastime. King James II played a game with an Edinburgh shoemaker; Queen Mary was found playing on the links two days after the death of her royal consort, Darnley. The news of the Great Irish Rebellion came to King Charles I while he was lifting the ball over the links at Leith.

PROTECTING THE BUYER.

Many are the ways in which the buyer can be cheated whether the quantity be large or small, and while such practice is not generally follow ed a step towards the blocking of the short weight scheme was taken when more attention was given to the test ing of weights and measures. Even though honesty is the best policy, this was one of the acts of legislation which the practice of deceit made necessary
 For the purpose of giving protection to the buyer, and permitting him to know just what he is getting in return for hiJ money, the federal net weight law which has just gone into operation renders a like service. This makes 1t obligatory that all packages of food put up in this country henceforth must carry on the outside a statement o1 the quantity of the contents in terms of weight. measure or numerical count and that such must be set forth IT terms of the largest unit.
 This law does not guarantee the purchaser any more for his money than in the past. That remains entire ly optional with the p1cker, but it does inform him how much he is getting whether it be fifteen ounces or a pound and two ounces. It is not only information which he is entitled to but that which he should have. The quantity should be known even though it may have no direct bearing upon the quality It likewise has no direct tesring upon the price. but it is 8 necessary step for insuring a square deal to the purchasing public.

Before speaking of Ze1Ina, it would be best to describe the place where she was staying.
 Pine Cottage was a beautiful estate and very old. It had been passed down from generation to generation. It was called Pine Cottage from tho beautiful pines that covered the es- tate. The house was small but coZy and homelike.
 Zelrna, that morning; was in bed on the excuse that she did not feel well. Way down deep in her heart she knew that 1t was homesickness to see Jim and the baby; but she wouldn't | give in to such @ thought even to her. self.
