highly impressed with what he saw
down in the former sage brush Sec

the residents of that part of Idaho
have largely given up fruit growing
and are going into dairying and
the growing of clover and alfalfa
for seed. They find the latter in
dustry especially adapted to that
part of state and the returns quite
large and the farmers down there

Corfu.
From ,h. London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Corfu firmly insists upon its identity
with tho blissful island Of Homer's
Phaeacians. which showed such hos
pitauty to the wrecked Odysseus. Not
only do the names Of roads and villas
commemorate the great story, but Its
scenes are still shown, such as tho
olive grove in which the Princess Maui
sicaa found Odysseus alseep. Above
all, there is the ship which conveyed
him home to Ithaca, turned into stone
by the wrathful god of the sea upon its
return A model of that ship has re-
placed the Britannia that crowned the
roof Of the palace in the time of the
sundry islets. round the coast rival each
other in the claim to be the ship it
self-the favorite being a cypress-cov-
cred one with a little white chapel near
the dismantled British "one-Gun bat
terry"
Corfu came under British protection
after the fall of Napoleon. To be pre-
else. 100 years last November II formed
part of the United States Of the Ionian
Islands under tho protectorate of this
country. The government was carried
on by two assemblies and q lord high
commissioner who represented Great
Britain. But things did not work
smoothly. There was constant friction
between the representatives Of the
suzerain power and those Of the island
ers. This resulted in Mr.. Gladstone be-
missioner to investigate. He declared
against annexation to Greece. But the
election of Prince George of Denmark
as King of Greece solved the problem
and the islands were incorporated with
Greece by treaty in 1863.

The stars of local scholastic track
sports have seen their last year of
competition with the schools they have
been representing. Brewer. Maxam.
Carter and Wallace of St. Adams and
Milstead and Birthright of Central fin
ished their careers with their respec-
tive institutions in the meets in which
is to graduate from Central next Feb
ruary and all the others this spring.
Brewer. MaXam and Milstead are
among the best scholastic runners in
the east in the 100. go and 44e yard
dashes. Wallace is good quarter
miller and Carter Is clever at any dis
lance from the quarter to the mile.
There is but very little difference in
the capabilities of Birthright and Mil
stead. Both were members of the relay
team which won the high school cham
pionship iii the Pennsylvania relay
toned as representatives, of St. Adams
comprised the team which captured the
preparatory school title at the Penn
games a few weeks ago.
Brewer and MaXalp are former West
ern High boys. and both have been
stars in the scholastic armament for
several years. This is Maxam's fizst
and last year at st. Adams. Carter
has been at the Episcopal institution
three years. while Wallace entered last
fall. Milstead and BirthriSht have been
running four years for Central. With
the passing of these men from local
scholastic athletics it will be a long
time before others are developed ca

forming in the same brilliant way.

GOLF GOSPEL TRUTHS.
Always Putt to Pass the Cup.
BY STRAIGHT DRIVE.

Just as important as to approach
beyond the pin is to play the puts with
force enough to pass the hole should
you fail to get the ball down. The plan
of trying for a safe position ON the first
putt and drop the ball in on the second
try, to maintain an average Of two
puts to a green, does not guarantee
such a contamination as surely as to
be always striving to hole out. Never
up, never in" is a maxim coined as
rebuke to timidity on short puts ra-
Their than on long run-ups.
1t is not wise to try to gobble a long
chance, unless in match, play. when IT
is case of do or die. But the approach
putt should always be given chance
any system of merely getting near
enough on the long one to land the next
safely. by keeping the ball short on the
near side, as 1t is to miss a short putt
boldness on the approach putt that q
player gets the percentage of "one
stroke to a green" holes that is his
proper due.
The plan of making the approach
putt stop near the cup by practicing to
check the ball within an imaginary cir
Gle or wheel that will have the cup for
the hub, is not to be commended unless
the attempt is always aimed to stop on
the far side of the hole.
Place the putter face at right angles
to the line of the putt and then play
for the back OF, the cup. Address with
the toe Of the putter. but keep the club
close to the turf throughout the stroke.
except for a slight upward lifting just
as you start the forward motion, as
gauge of the force to be given to the
impact. Have your line as clear to the
minds eye as though 1t had been mark
ed with a streak Of chalk. with allow
ances made for the undulations Of the
green. and after taking the distance do
not look up once the stroke is started.
Keep the gaze concentrated on the ball
until the impact and after 1t.
One way to compel the head to keep
still and avoid a crooked putt by lifting
the eyes so quickly that the balance
will be lost Is to glance. as the ball
speeds from the putter. along the back
line; at all events. do not look forward
after the ball as 1t leaves the club. If
the line is true and the try is for the
back of the hole, there is more chance
of getting down in two than when the
approach putt is coaxed in a gentle
manner to stop close up, but on the
short side.
