Golf. besides being a theoretical, tanta-
lizing, terrible task. also has not a few
virtues. Some play the game for worldly
reasons. Some play for fun and some for
game as cure-all when the family doc
tor has resigned the victim, or as the
Lydia p. Compound of all games.
But when a strange electrical cloud was
seen lowering over Philadelphia this
morning the EVENING LEDGER wireless

gone all through the regular channels of

strings and his throatal tubes were mas

pills and liquors But still the hysterical
spasms twisted him at regular intervals
Till yesterday, so said the dispatch when
further unrolled, a friend as a last resort
inveigled him into a game of golf. He
was led unwillingly to the first tee He
teed up his ball His friend made a poor
shot. ]. Stanley was still skeptical He
looked at the brook at his feet and at
the hoights over which he must send his
ball A mighty hiccough rocked him to
the heels.
"Its no USE" he said. and would have
laid down his clubs. Stay" said the
friend. J. Stanley swung. II was 4

the cough-ridden frame of Pearsall. His

The East is not only the East, but the
West is undoubtedly the West-if not
even more so.
1t has been many a shifting, crimson
moon before any one section has cleaned
up as tidily as the West has this season
in the two playing sports-golf and lawn
tennis
We mention these as the two playing
sports against baseball and football,
which. essentially, in so far as the major
part OF the public is concerned. are spec
tatorial affairs.
In the various leagues there are 10000
ball players represented against 5O0O.OOO
spectators. In the larger football games
there are several thousand players repre-
sented, against a million or so speeta-
tors. But in golf and lawn tennis there
are more than a million players for each
game. against far less that number OF
spectators.
Briefly, as the saying is. more people
watch baseball and football; and more
people play golf and tennis.
The West Revenged
Last season the East held all the
laurelled brows. ouimet, from Boston,
was amateur golf Champion, with will
iams, from Philadelphia, amateur lawn
tennis champion. The West was no.
where, minus T. But this season the
Western sweep has been complete. In
golf the West cleaned up in all four
leading points at Detroit-cleaned up
every way there was In match and medal
glory and In team matches where the
two sections were thrown together. There
wasn't even a wisp OF laurel for the East
to wrap around It's clammy brow.
In lawn tennis the sweep has been uni
versal- In the FIRST meeting Of East W.
West the Pacihc coast country won
easily at home.
Coming on 10 the Forest Hins cham
pionship, the West had everything sswed
before the final round MeLouEhlin and

The American Calf.

Deer hunters are forbidden to kill
fawns in most American states. There
are laws to protect the baby seal.
Game fish under a certain size have
their lives insured by official regula-
ton. How does it happen, then, that
the American butcher goes on slaugh-
tering the American calf, slashing at
the throat of the nations meat and
dairy supply, without audible protest
from any quarter? The heifer calls
place in our system of table economy
is not a matter of guesswork or the
DRY. The calf that is eaten as veal
never develops into beef, nor can it
continue the race of its valuable kind.
1t is a contention of experts that
very definite reason for our dwindling
beef supply is the unrestricted slaugh-
ter of very young heifers.-Philadel

Our Ideal of Perfection,

The modern world has new and
elaborate dogma of the body, but con-
viction (if it EXIST in regard to the
soul is tentative and wary. For many
past years the faith has been taught.
the belief has been growing, that
physically fit of necessity means men
tally fit, that physical power is the
measure of mans efficiency. The one
glory of our college life lies in its
sports, and education of muscle. The
only ideal of perfection now In evil
dence is an ideal of physical perfec-
ton; for this, no sacrifice is too great,
no case too onerous. Images of per-
feet bodily development are kept be-
fore the young-the Apollo, with
beauty of sinew and muscle; but the
face of the Christ is growing ever
more and more dim before their eyes.
and is more and more alphabetically
presented, if presented at all.-At-
lantic.

POSSIBLE TO e TOO GOOD

Women mourn and rail at mans un.

member, when such shortcomings are
brought up against man as set over

as truly woman as was Eve. In our
accusations and determinations we too
often forget that mans faithfulness to
good woman is usually encouraged
by the wiles of a bad one, and that
more often than not a woman stands
at each end Of the path that stretches
from heaven to hell.
We forget, too, by what dear and
lovable things a man may be held to
the fair and honest ways of life. An
eager comradeship with him in the
things for which he cares, good hui
NOR in sunshine as we'll as in storm,
an easy-going conscience as to the
smaller duties of life, and an abiding
love for frills and laces, these are the
gentle virtues that will serve to keep
sweet and eager the dreariest mascu.

and sorrow for which to answer, and

AS VIEWED BY PHILOSOPHER
Happiness Not Always to Those Who
Make Great Catches in the
Worlds Fish Pond.

We have seen men absorbedly fish
ing for wealth, and we imagine that
when they fail to get it they are de-
feated and disappointed. Neither one.
The only men who are defeated in
this worldly fish pond are the ones
who haul up great bags of gold on
their hooks. They are very soon bur
dened with the catch, and unable to
march comfortably farther along the
road. The only disappointed ones are
those who have no real purpose in
life, and suppose that fishing is an
end in itself.
| had a great-uncle once who died
quite happy and bankrupt. Through
out his life he was jubilantly full of
schemes for making a fortune. But if
MS patent Touring mill had ever sue
ceeded,. or his method for tanning
leather had brought him wealth. so
that he had been obliged to have two
houses and 20 servants and several
suits of clothes and bills and accounts
and lawsuits, am sure he would
have died miserable.
Unfeeling and misunderstanding
persons are forever plying the old
maids, and especially those who seem
20 be always angling for men. But
such behavior seems to me quite in
telligible and quite pardonable-es
cially if they never catch anything.
Having begun this game in early life,
earlier than | began fishing, and hav-
ing founded it on instincts even deep
er than mine they would be silly in
deed now to give up SO good a sport
just because they have found other,
and possibly more important, objects
in life.-Suburban Life.
