The periscope of a political subma-
rine comes to surface at Minneapolis,
recalling that strange bedfellows"
philosophy again. The socialists
have called a big nationwide con-
ference to discuss everything-and
cuss the government. AS a place of
meeting they selected Minneapolis,
because the local Suggesting is
considered favorable. Not particular
ly complimentary to the great city of
the northwest, but 1t is the penalty
for having elected a socialist mayor,
who has kept the city busy declaring
that his lack of patriotism and failure
to support the President, does not
fairly represent the city. At the time
OF his election 1t was admitted that
his success vas only possible by rea-
son Of the thousands of democratic
votes he received. 1t is rather diff
cult to work up much sympathy for
Minneapolis.

Who can tell how much damage has
been done to mankind by writer's of
history extolling "a heroes-rulers
who sought a place in world history
by wars cruelty? The written his
tory of Caesar, Frederick the Great,
Napoleon, and other conquerors is fill
ed with a sort of adulation that may
be attractive to other rulers. A cur
rent advertisement of a history says:
"The solumn pages of history tells
mor Of his wonderful achievements
than of the life of any other man"
A writer in a prominent magazine
tells that the walls in the private
room of an heir to a European throne
are covered with pictures of Napo-
icon and his armies. Is 1t strange IL
the vaulting ambition of present day
rulers lead them to think they must
conquer something and secure a great
historical name-regardless OF the
disaster and misery they cause hui

pointed. From here he went to Red
field, purchased the knife and went
home. On reaching home, he found
the binder wrecked, his wife and son
locked in the house and a band of so
armed farmers on his premises.
The boy and his mother on being
questioned, told a story or a man who
came into the yard oon after Mr..
Walker left and asked the boy to
help him wreck the binder. The boy
refused and the man ordered him to
assist on threat of death. The young
ster ran into the house, told his
mother, and they b~arricaded the doors
and phoned to the neighbors who
rushed to the farm as fast as possible
but before their arrival the man had
disappeared. Surrounding corn and
grain fields were searched but to no

for long life was: "Keep the kidneys IN

otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid toe
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise SO you sweat - the skin
helps to eliuinate the toxic poisons
and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms Of indam-
nation, as backache, scalding "water,n
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, "rusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is q

GOLF AN OLD GAME
Was Once Played in Holland on
the Ice.
Goes Back at Least Five Centuries
So Popular In Scotland in 1457
It lnterfered With Other
Games.

You have to be & fine rider, do you
not, to play golf?'' was the commonest
question in regard to the game not
more than So years ago. At that time
the man who Travelled about with set
Of golf clubs was an object OF some
establishment to his fellow travellers!
And yet the game Of golf. according
to the new Encyclopedias Britannica,
goes back at least five centuries. It is
portrayed by early Dutch painters, who
generally showed IS being played on
ice! But one Of the pictures in q
Dutch illunined Book Of Hours, now
in the British museum, Is painting of
three men putting at hole in the turf
as in our modern golf. Although the
Dutchmen played and painted golf,
they did not write about it and we
have no records describing the game.
Just when Scotland took up golf
is unknown, but 1857 it was already 50
popular, says the Britannica, that it in
terfered with the more important pur-
suit Of archery. In May, 1471, an act
Of the Scottish parliament was passed
forbidding this sport: "Futeball and
Collie forbidden. Item, it is statut and
ordaint that in ma place Of the realme
there be usit fute-ball collie or luther
silk unproftabill sports" etc.
1t is rather curious that this is an
edict OF James " who later became
very much attached to the practice OF
the ''unproftabill sport''-not only he,
but his daughter, Mary Stuart. 1t was
alleged by her enemies that, as showing
her shameless Indifference to the fate
of her husband, very few days after
his murder, she twas seen playing golf
and pall-mall in the fields beside Sc
ton"
Golf has from old times been known
in Scotland as "the Royal and Ancient
Game of Golf" Many monarchs have
made it their favorite diversion and
since it's introduction into America all
the presidents have found it favorite
form of exercise.
There is still standing in Edinburgh
monument Of the proves Of James
II as & golfer. After the Restoration
James, then duke Of York, was sent to
Edinburgh in 1851 es commissioner OF
the king to parliament. He was chal'
lenged by two Englishmen, mobiles OF
his suite, to play match against them
for a very large stake, along with any
Scotch ally he might select. With his
partner, who was one "Johne Pater.
sone," a shoemaker. the duke easily
won the game. He made over half OF
the large stake to his humble co-ad
jutor, who herewith built himself q
house at No. Y Cannongate, which has
always been called Golfers Land.
