WANTED TO CONTINUE GAME
Secretary Lane Couldn't Understand
Defeat in Golf While He Had
Clubs to Play.

Josephus Daniels. secretary Of the
navy. was invited the other day to
go out and play golf.
Il can't play it," said Daniels; II
made up my mind some time ago not
to go in for golf until they change
the rules"
How do you mean?"
well, until they change the rules
and make it as good a game as
shiny"
That recalls the tale they tell about
the time Franklin X. Lane, now Sec
rotary Of the interior, first undertook
the mastery of golf.
Two enthusiasts over the game lent
a large set of clubs to Lane and they
played round. When they had
reached the last hole Lane walked
over to the nearest teeing place and
began attempts to drive off with each
club in his sack, one after another.
THE games all over" they ex-
planned, gently.
We'll" asked Lane, picking up an
other kind of club, cant l play my

A New Cure.

A bedpost has not generally been
regarded so much as an eye-openeT as
an eye-shutter, but if a story that
comes from Boston is true-and what
story from Boston was ever untrue?-
our oculists should go to school to the
landmarks of Morpheus. Mr.. Frank
H. Hayes, who has been stone blind
for nine years. so the tale runs, struck
his head violently against the bedpost
on arising, and was astounded a few
minutes afterward to find that his
sight had been entirely restored. We
do not know whether the virtue of this
cure lay in the bedpost or in the fact
that it was a Boston bedpost, but If it
was really effected in this way there
would seem to be a good deal in such
inanimate objects not heretofore
dreamed of in the philosophy of op-
tics. One of the morals of this mod
ern miracle would seem to be that
knocking" is sometimes a very effica-
cious process, and that the only way to
make some folks see things is by
knocking them into their heads.-Bal-

Return Of the Walnut.

The wood of our fathers, the good
old black walnut" that was reckoned
the supreme cabinet material of 80
years ago, has come back. True, they
call it American walnut" now, and
give it a shiny finish and try to hide
the deep, purplish brown which is the
true glory of the stuff; but it is the
same old wood in spite of all. May it
soon get back its ancient name and
more than it's ancient popularity.
