PLAYING GOLF.
The Game Demands Concentration, Yet
Invites Sociahility.

The Game Demands Concentration, Yet
Invites Sociabiiity.
zone thing at a time, and that done
WE'LL" is very good rule in golf, as
in many other lines of either work
or play. / speak of this because golf
is q game in which the relationship
between players is bit different from
what it is in any other game that
comes to my mind. 1t is game which
to reap the best results demands great
concentration and yet a game which
at times is played wonderfully well by
those who seem to be paying scant at
tention to the task in hand.
The game one moment brings men
together and next sends them apart,
according to the direction in which
they happen to hit the ball. Two men
can start from the same tee, be two
hundred or more yards apart after
their drives and both be on the same
green after playing their second shots.
1t is a game which invites sociabili-
ty and yet does not either demand or
require it. One man can go out and
play all by himself and thoroughly en-
joy his game. or two men can go out,
play a round together, neither speak
word between the first tee and the last
green, yet both go into the clubhouse
and declare they had seldom or never
spent more enjoyable time.-Francis
Ouimet In st. Nicholas.

Plane Trees of Cannosa.

Not least among trees which have be-
come celebrated are two giant plane
trees at Cannosa, near Ragusa, that
pearl of the Adriatic" Within three
hours walk of Ragusa, on an elevation
above the tideless sea, lies the famous
garden of Count GOzze. From prim-
tive landing place a path leads up be-
tween olives and pomegranates, myr-
ties and oleanders to the level spot
where the two colossal trees have stood
from time immemorial. The effect
OF the larger tree upon spectator
standing beneath it is positively over
whelming. 1t takes twenty-five PAGES
merely to walk closely round the trunk,
while the spreading branches reach
horizontally for from thirty to forty
PAGES and then bend upward and fork.
A good sized public meeting could be
held in the shade of either of these
immense trees.-Wide World Magazine.

GUARDING THE DIAMONDS.
Thousands of Miles of Barbed Wire
Inciose KimberIey's Mines.


lnciose kimberIey's Mines.
Machinery and barbed wire have
supplanted the rude methods of break
ing up diamond bearing blue earth and
protecting the valuable finds employed
twenty years ago in the South African
diamond mines.
The depths Of the strange, crater
shaped hole in which the peculiar dia.
mOnd bearing earth is confined are
now penetrated by shafts, reaching
hundreds of feet down into the earth,
with forty foot levels The broken
earth is removed in closed trucks to
the surface, where, after a season of
exposure to sun and atmosphere strewn
on the ground, it is hauled to the mills.
Here pulsators finally locate the dia-
monds on grease covered inclined ia
bles, to which the diamonds adhere,
while loose sand, earth and gravel are
washed away by water.
Acres of ground covered by broken
earth brought up from the mines con-
tain possibly millions of dollars worth
Of gems, and these treasure troves are
protected by high fences of barbed
wire, with intricate arrangements at
the corners and at the gates. About
1000 miles Of wire are used In the de-
lenses about the Kimberley mines

Care of Pearls.

One of the representatives of ia
nous jewelry firm gives word of ad-
vice upon the preservation and treat
ment of pearls. Upon no account. he
said. should they be locked up in a
safe or other dark place for lengthy
periods. since such treatment soon
causes them to lose their life and
become dull. If their fair owners find
that for some reason or other they can
not wear them outside their garments
they should make point of wearing
them underneath the dress next to the
skin. Constant contact with the hu-
man skin gives to the stones light. lus-
ter, gloss and sheen. The best possible
way to keep the pearls in a perfect
state Of preservation, as well as to
prolong their life, is to wear them al
ways, both by night and by day.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

A Plea For the Hen.

I should like to see the hen on a
plane, at least, with the turkey and
the goose.
She is their superior in every way
except that Of size, and yet they have
long held the place Of honor on the
Christmas and the Thanksgiving din
ner table, and they have had reams
and reams of poetry written about
them.
But the hen, that most important Of
all feathered creatures-who writes
poetry about her? Who even takes the
trouble to know anything about her
early history in America? Who own
ed the first hen? When and where did
she land upon our shores?
: Why not make amends for our long
years Of neglect by making her the
center Of the feast on the Fourth Of
July? Hereafter let it be our Thanks
giving turkey, our Christmas goose and
our Fourth of July hen.-Atlantic

Our Views the Same

A friend of tours said the other
day "where do you stand this
year on the liquor question"
and for fear that others may
have some doubts as to which
side The Times will take should
the liquor question come up tor
a vote the coming spring we
want to make ourselves clear on
this point.
The Times will continue to
stand opposed to the liquor IN
terests and the licensed saloon.
Since the saloons we're voted out
a year ago we have failed to wit
ness single thing which would
tend to change out mind one
iota, We feel that with the city
"dry" one year is not enough in
which to test out this question
for the influence of the liquor
interests always extends well
into the first year after the
saloons close their doors. Vote
the town dry another year and
this influence will cease to exist.
The cry made a year ago that
all the money would go out OF
town if the saloons went out has
not proven true. On the con-
trary business conditions have
been better. Employers OF
labor have found that their EN-.
ployees were more industrious
and contented and that the
families of former drinking men
have been better provided for.
The Times feels that the sal
DON has no place in a community
and therefore when the oppor-
tunity presents itself our read
ers may rest assured our
views on this important question
will be made clear.

The Cruel Lie.

When Disraeli was nearing his end a
young disciple said to him: Master.
what is the objectionable sin? Is 1t
not a lie?' The astute and subtle
statesman, in the shadow OF the grave.
where he saw with the clearer vision,
looked at the young man with deep.
unfathomabe eyes and answered:
mo. lie is not the objectionable
sin. The objectionable sin is the cruel
lie."
On the borders of that shadowy land
where great things grow small and
little things loom large on the horizon
he had come to know that the crime
that is not forgiven is the brutal IN
stinct that impels us to wound, to en-
bitter. to mortify.
