He concurs with Charles "Chich" Evans, that the recent West ern Championship, held at Del Monte, California, was a failure owing to the presence of eastern players, due large ly to the fact that the United States Golf Association ruled against partici- pants availing of the free transporta- ton offered them.

After they had reached the river and
fished side by side for half an hour she
arose and wandered away for a few
yards and began a fresh attack on the
inny tribe in water about two feet
deep.
Suddenly, as Henry was thinking Of
pumpkins and squashes, there was a
scream and a splash, and he calmly
and slowly looked up The girl was

TO him in an appealing way. He knew

awhile common sense got the upper

were married, and 1t wasn't two weeks
more before she was saying TO her
mother:

Henry Strong was a farmers hired
man. strong and rugged and willing
to work from sun to sun without a
complaint II any one had asked the
farmer about his hired man he would
have replied that nothing aifed Henry.
SO &c would have been with every one
who knew him, man and woman, ex-
cept Nettie White. the daughter Of an
other farmer a mile away. Her COM
plant would have been that he hadn't
a speck of romance in his nature.
After counting Nettie White for six
ted to himself that she would make a
good wife for him. Nettie White was
not entirely satisfied with his court
ship, but she got to like Henry Strong
for his candor and honesty.
Henry's education had been gained
at a little country schoolhouse. Once
in awhile he would pick up the weekly
paper and read for half an hour, but
he had never read a book of any kind
On the contrary, Nettie was quite well
educated and had read every book she
could lay her hands on She had read
of chevaliers. knights and heroes ga
lore, and she bad wished many time
that Henry would come riding with
steed and lance and bear her off. Alas
for Henry. His "steed' was the old
white mare which was blowing out the
corn. and his lance was a well worn
hoe which he used in the potato field.
On summer nights, when they sat on
the front steps and the full moon rose
up in all it's radiance and the whip
poorwiu sang from the grove back of
the barn, Nettie looked for Henry to
say omething-something about the
romance Of the evening. But what
Henry said was:
ct wonder if It IS true that the moon
is mostly composed Of buttermilkr'
At length Henry proposed marriage.
Perhaps he was as romantic about it
as he could be, but there was no emo
ton in his voice and no weakness in
his knees as he leaned his chair back
on its hind legs against the house and
careleSsly said:
"Oh, Nettie, almost forgot what
E-as going to say to you this evening
I guess we had better be married some
day. What do you think about itT'
1t is useless to tell what she thought
about 1t, but after that evening they
considered themselves engaged.
One day Henry's fiancee got a bril-
liant thought Henry might not be ro-
mantle, but he might be heroic, which
is mostly but not quite the same thing.
If she could make hero of him she
would at least be half satisfied. She
thought the thought over for several
days and was then ready to put plan
into execution
Not far from Nettie's house was the
house Of a farmers daughter, who fire.

THE x. OF G. BANQUET.

The knights of Columbus banquet
at the Davenport Coliseum last even
ing was a brilliant social affair. 1t
was also something of a revelation to
the outsiders among the 1000 men
who took part in it, for it showed to
them the bigness of the organization
and the men who compose it. Above
all, it made clear the fact that pure
Americanism is a. dominant principle
within it. The spirit of patriotism
was manifested in every phase Of the
entertainment and in the words of the
speakers. Love of country was the
inspiration of the hour.
Knights of the three cities are en-
titled TO greatest credit for bringing
to this community the national meet
ing of this comparatively new but
great order.
