The Earliest Lens.

The earliest known lens is one made of rock crystal unearthed by Layard at Nineveh. This lens, the age of which is to be measured by thousands of years. now lies in the British mu- scum with it's surface as bright as when it left the makers hands. By the side of it are very recent speci- mems of lenses which have been ruined by exposure to London's fogs and smoke.

Errstic Record In Golf.


 Tbe worlds record for unsteadiness probably goes to q certain California golfer. There was a team match sched- uled between two clubs, each club pick ing its five best men. When the match started it was discovered that only four men had reported for one of the teams. The captain of the team that had missing man saw standing by a club member with a handicap some where around sixteen or eighteen strokes. His average game was about 9S. AS rule he could be counted upon to go out in 90 and come back in 4S. That day, to his own amazement and to the confusion of his opponent, he was out in 34. eleven strokes better than he had ever played the course be- fore for the first nine holes. This was an upset, but no worse than the upset that followed. for. after being out in 34, he was back in G3. He got his or, but as no or was ever got before.- Jerome D. Travers in American Maga. zine.

COLORADO LAMBS

Advices to The Chieftain from
St. Louis, Mo-, say the first
Colorado fed lambs of the current
season arrived at the National
stock yards the past week. They
were shipped from the San Luis
valley by T. j. Hawkins, we'll
known operator. T h g lambs
averaged 78 lbs. andssold at 1925
per cwt. This is 6c per cwt.
higher than the initial shipments
from Colorado brought a year ago.
The movement of Colorado fed
lambs always arouses interest of
buyers at the Mississippi river,
as the westerns begin to come
just as the native corn-fed lambs
from Missouri and Southern Iowa
begin to let up. Were it not for
the Colorado's that move during
the winter and early spring
months the scarcity # lamb
supplies in the ST. Louis territory
would be most acute.

Gossip! The very name has a

sneaking into the stores, the
schoolroom, the churches and
societies. You'll find her masque-
rading under the name of friend

the back fence or edging in be-
tween husband and wife. No
place is sacred to her. She black
ems the character of men and
women and of innocent girls.
She ruins the careers Of young
men. Suppose man or woman
is not as you are or as you may
think they should be. Do you
know you are right? Let other
people think as they believe they
should think, whether it is about

Hall, the big pitcher from the Gao

about ten days ago, seems to be
worming his way into the hearts of
the Topeka fans. He seemed rather
erratic in his work on the home field
against Omaha but his game Monday
when he held Omaha to seven hits
would indicate that there is method in
his madness. The big busher has lots
of speed and most of the luck that
