old rivals. Mrs. Fox has already won
the cup once.
Mrs. Vanderbeck reminds one very
strongly of GIL Nichols In the way she
plays the game, especially In walking up
to the ball and addressing it. She has
much the same free swing, and brings
lery
Mrs. Barlow and Mrs. Vanderbeck, two
OF the most glittering lights in the wom-
ems golfng world. played the best match
that has been seen In this city all season.
Each player worked with all her heart,
and nearly every hole had the gallery on
Its toes: 1t was shot for shot and then
heartbreaking effort to get a half.
Mrs. Barlow was lust under all the
way, and the puts she ran down from
all the corners of the green startled the
many pros and masculine stars in the
gallery. She showed nerves like blue
steel. She holed out for the hole off the
green on the eight up terrace. She
found the cup on the 18th 10 feet away on
winding shot over the tricky green for
| a half. after Mrs. Vanderbeck had sunk
an equally long putt for a bird. Mrs. Bar
low found herself in that hopeless con-
dition of being three down and three to
| play.
! When she put her third to the long 18th
in the robust rough, 1t looked to be all
day. especially when she just got TO the
| edge on her next. But she crawled and
wound over the humps and bumps right
| to the nest, and won the hole. She grim
! ly won the next when she sank five
| footer, easiest of the easy to miss In a
crisis. She had to hole out a down
hill affair for the last hole, but missed by
a fraction.
Buxton, one of the first Ave" in the
State, played with tiny Miss Chandler.
| whose drive was far better than his oil
the first. Mcfarland was also left far
behind by Mrs Stetson's drive.
Mrs. Fox played her own game and won
out in the end, as she said. by the mis-
plays of Miss Chandler. The latter had
her long game in excellent CONTROL and
time and again had two puts for the hole
as the result of deadly work with her
| iron and wood. But she groped blindly,
| being utterly unable to locate II even
for half dozen times.
Few women players could take her
measure II she could brace up this de-
partment of play.
Mrs. Vanderbeck is perfectly justified
in being annoyed at people I'm the gallery
that insist on standing behind the shot
in the line of play. A solid, motionless
background is one thing, but one or two
stragglers will upset the best of players.

ZACHARY TAYLOR RELICS.
Recently Added to the White House
 Collection.
(From the Washington star.)

(From the Washington Star.)
 The presidential chinaware gifts of Mrs. Walter Stauffer of Ner Orleans. granddaughter of President Zachary Taylor and daughter of his only son, the late Col. Richard Taylor, have been placed in the cabinets of the presidential collection at the White House, following Mrs. Stauffer's call upon President Wilson as was also another gift which was received ear Her in the day from the family of the late Capt. John Taylor Wood.
 President Taylor's last surviving child, Mrs. Betty Bliss Dandridge. who owing to the ill-health of her mother, was mistress of the executive man sion during her fathers brief admin istration, died some months ago at her home in Winchester Va Before the estate was settled Mrs. Abby C.. Baker. on behalf of the White House, went to Winchester to interest the heirs in the presidential collections The family united to make a gift which would be representative of their distinguished forbear, Gen. Tay- Tor
 Mrs. Stauffer, who is the possessor of a large number of Taylor relics
 
 of the family, a handsome pair of candlesticks which were used by her grandfather in the White House. She also gave silver spur of curious Mexican workmanship which was given to Gen. Taylor during the Mex ican war, and the handle of a walking stick that was presented during Pres ident Taylor's administration. Mrs Stauffer is visiting her daughter, Mrs John A. McIllhenney, and will be in the city for several days.
 It will be recalled that Gen. Tuy- lor's eldest daughter married Jeffer- son Davis, but that she only lived a short time after her marriage and died childish Mrs. Bliss-Dandridge, the presidents youngest child, was also childless. The second daughter, Ann, married Col. Robert Crook Wood.
 Col. and Mrs. Wood were parents of several children, and it is the chil- dren of their son, the late Capt. John Taylor Wood, who yesterday sent q gift for their branch of the family also to the White House collection. It consists of a cutglass decanter of the colonial type and three wine glasses which were used by Presi- | dent Taylor in the White House and | a memorial brooch. The brooch con- | tains lock of Gen. TayIor's hair which was clipped from his head just after his death, and the brooch was worn by Mrs. Taylor and later be- came the property of her daughter, Mrs. Bliss. Later the White House collection is to receive other interest ing relics from the remaining branches of the family.

Newspaper Errors.
(Iowa City Republican,

The capacity of some people for de- tecting errors in the newspapers is marvellous. Also it is singular how many unexpected meanings the peo- pie can find.
 If the reporter writes that a man wore a coat of such and such a char acter some one may call up and ask if the coat was all the man had on? To satisfy these literalists you must enumerate item by item the oth or articles of attire or they will accuse you of making the victim appear half naked.
 The reader who digests his paper on the quiet in his home feels that he has shown great brilliancy if he detects an error in grammar or cap- italization. It is one thing to find mistakes at your leisure in another mans work, quite another to turn out a high degree of accuracy and pre- cision in the haste of newspaper com position.
 The banker makes blunders in his figures, the lawyer draws up in- correct papers, and the business man submits erroneous bills. Such blund- CTS are known only to the few persons whom they concern. The newspaper is like the acton on the stage, whose slightest slip is manifest to all and seems ridiculous.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office.
Music of the Future.
Bridgeport Farmer. )

That eminent singer, Umberto Sor- rentino, believes that the music of the future will come from the South, and that it will be based upon the negro melodies. Since every guess about the future has it's proof in time to come, no mans opinion can be shown to be better than another's.
 The basis of this view seems to be that the great musicians of the past frequently have written great music around the folk songs of their coun- tries
 But music is an art of recent de- Ve1opment The instruments are com paratively new. Mechanical music is thing of yesterday.
 Why did the composers depend so largely upon folk music? Because folk music was the basis of popular musical knowledge. A music not in some part expressive of popular un- derstanding was bound to fail.
 But the people of tomorrow will understand a broader music. The folk music of tomorrow will be the most complex music that has yet been written. It is reasonable to suppose that future genius will build upon what has already been done, as past genius has.
 Perhaps MT. Sorrentino, having ac- qu1red a difficult art, underestimated the value of the photograph and the mechanical piano in creating a pop ular taste in music.
 The Farmer ventures the hope, if not the opinion, that the great music Of the future will not be founded up on the misery of peoples, nor upon the happiness which characterized the more contented moments of the negro slave, but that it will be based upon the happiness of mankind, liv- Ing fuller and sweeter life than men have hitherto enjoyed.

"Dogged Does It."
(Kansas City Times.

Every boy ought to read the story of the rise of Sir William van Horne from messenger boy to one of the greatest railway builders and presi- dents in the world.
 His life motto was: 'Dogged does it." Look in Webster's Dictionary and you will see that "dogged'' means lob stinately determined or persistent"
 That was the quality that made William van Horne, the messenger boy, one of the great men of his day. When he was a very small boy, an orphan, poor and living on a farm in Illinois, he was deeply interested in geology. A neighbor boy had a copy of "Lyell's Principles of Ge- ology." The van Horne boy wanted to borrow it, but the other boy would not lend it. Youn William paid him

man who followed. the footsteps of David N. Camp, who, adhered to the rigid rules of life as practiced by him, could at least hope to add a few years to a life that irregularity and pres ent day frivolities must but shorten. In his relations to his fellow man, Professor Camp has been always kindly, courteous, forebearing. In his business, social, public and pr1- vate life he has never deviated from the great fundamental principle of life as it should be. On this, the eve of his ninety-fifth anniversary the Herald joins with the people of New Britain in wishing to him the greatest joys of life, continued health and prosperity, and many more useful years in the community. May he live throughout the nineties over the century mark and into the ranks of those who measure their years in three figures. His stay among us has ever been a source of joy and in spiration.

$2 for the use of the book for six weeks. Then he brought some fools cape paper and spent the nights of the latter part of November and all of December in his cold garret. He copied the whole book, and aln ost freezing. He copied the whole book, and he made pen and ink reproduc- tion, as well as he could, of every one Of its thousand pictures When he had finished the book he knew every word in it.
 It was this passion to learn, this thoroughness and ambition and dog ged determine tion and energy that made him successful. He gained an efficient knowledge of everything he undertook to do, and it is related of him that when he went to build the Canadian Pacific railroad he knew more about how to lay the track than men who had been working at that and nothing else all their lives. Yet the laying of a railway track was only one of thousands of things that William van Horne had learned how to do, and to do thoroughly.
 That motto of his is a good thing for every boy to remember: "Dogged does it."

Getting Of Lightly. Bridgeport Telegram.)

Is it a good practise for@t the states attorney to extend clemency to 8 prisoner accused of a serious offense in exchange for a plea of "guilty ?" It is true that the agreement on the part of the prisoner to admit his guilt at the outset does away with a lot of delay and expense incident up- on a trial, but are the ends of jus tice best met thereby? Must an in nocent man on trial (and as men are frequently acquitted, we must assume that innocent men occasionally placed on triaD feel that he would better plead guilty" and take lis punishment, rather than risk trial and possible conviction, with a heavy attendant penalty?
 Does the simple act of pleading guilty on the part of Q man who is guilty, who is known to be so, and who cannot possibly evade the re- sponsibility for his guilt, entitle him to any clemency whatever
 Take the case of a man who re- gently without provocation save an insane jealousy, deliberately shot a woman through the neck, while she was at the bre akfast table in her own room. If the man who committed this wanton murderous attack was insane, he ought to finish his days in an insane asylum, for the safety of the state. If not insane, then he cer- tainly should answer for a crime of murderous intent, if not murderous effect. As a matter of fact, by plead | ing guilty to assault with intent | to kill' instead of intent to murder which was originally charged against him, he has escaped with one year in 1 prison, at the end of which time ne | will be free to return and finish up | the job, should the fancy move him. It is reported that the mans vic 1 tim has asked the states attorney
 what protection is to be afforded her
 at the expiration of this very short
 sentence. Under the circumstances, | the feeling on her part is very nat l ural one.

A Mayfower Pocketbook.
(Kennebec Journal.)

A Times man strolling up Com mercial street, Bath, noticed an old pocketbook in the window of the Ley don tobacco store and near it a paper inscribed, This pocketbook was brought from England in 1920" Co., ing into the shop the newspaperman learned the history of the book. It was brought over in the Mayfiower by Capt. Williams, a direct ancestor of Mrs. Thomas Leydon, who was a Miss Rose Whitney, David K. Whit ney, who formerly resided in West port, Me-, with the authenticated story of the antique heirloom. The orig inal owner, the Puritan who came over in the Mayflower, landed on Plymouth Rock with the other Pil- grims and lived for time with the colony there, but later on moved and settled on a tract of land in what is now Watertown, Mass. The pocket book resembled closely in make tn . modern card cases with two flaps fold ed together, each flap containing a pocket for bills and valuable papers 1t is neatly embossed and each flap bears the embossed inscription of Providence" rather an appropriate motto for a pocketbook The appear |. ance of the book, which is made of stout leather, handsewed, shows ob- viously its great age. The fact of her pedigree entities Mrs. Leydon to be a member of the Society of the May flower Descendants.

The PIattsburg "Rookies."
Philadelphia Bulletin)

Plans which are being made by the officers of the national guard of Pennsylvania to boom enlistment this winter will afford a practical test of the results of the military inoculation at Plattsburg. There were ninety or more professional and business men from Philadelphia there, each of whom has a recognized circle of in- fluence among his fellows, and who individually or in the aggregate, could if they would, by their example and influence make service in the national guard the proper as well as patriotic thing in Philadelphia.
 The only agency immediately at hand for organization of an adequate reserve with which to back up the regular army is the national guard, and if the purpose of the Plattsburg camp was practical the military en- thusiasm and energy which it created will be turned into the support of the state military organization by aiding in the enlistment of its full quota and particularly by recognizing in full the fact and the degree of service rendered by the men who volunteer for its ranks
 The entire Massachusetts national guard was mobilized t.SAsSpt
