New York Ja 25.-When the Unit
ed States Golf association voted at its
last meeting to uphold its definitions
Of an amateur and by so doing put
Francis Olimet on the footing OF a
professional golfer, it robbed amateur
golf OF one Of the most sensational
figures it ever possessed in this coun-
Try.
In spite Of the fact that the position
of the golf association was commend
able i'll that it made no distinction be-
tween Ouimet or some lesser players.
golfers the nation over never will
erase from their memories the specta-
Gle of slight youth, evenly playing
his way around a golf course and de-
feating Ray and vardon, England's
two greatest golfers.
Francis Ouimet was barely p when
he accomplished that feat. He sprang
to fame in blaze of glory in day.
He placed American amateur golf on
par with that played in foreign coun-
tries. He became a hero.
Crowns often have their bad fea.
lures. The glare of the spotlight
sometimes blinds so that it covers de-
fects. It was so in the case Of Ouimet.
Believing himself innocent Of any
wrong doing he became mixed up in
an attempt to establish a sporting
goods house committing himself in
such manner that his connection
was easily established His violation
Of the code was apparent and there
was nothing for the association to do
but bar him.
There were efforts to bring Ouimet
out Of the grasp of such legislation by
amendments. The struggle
was long and hard.fought, but in the
end the rule stood just as it always /
had and the boy-wonder of Brooklyn
VAS a branded professional.
The feat Of Ouimet will go down in
annals parallel to that Of Mau- 4
ice Mclaughlin, also barred in recent ii
ulings of the United States National
avn Tennis association.
Mclaughlin went out and in a single
fternoon vanquished Brookes and
Vilding, the two greatest tennis play
rs England had produced. He placed
American tennis on the map, just as
'limet later did golf

deposit with the county treasurer from
whom he secures his county license, a
sum equal to the amount he pays for
a license. This deposit will be held
by the county treasurer to pay fines
or court fees In event the peddler fails
to live up to the law such as restrict
ing his sales TO the kind and amount
of goods made known in his applica.
ton for license.
Fees are provided as loll0Ws. Peu-l
iler on foot, s25; peddler with one
horse and wagon, 500; peddler with
two horses and wagon, $3.50; peddler|
with any other conveyance $500.

BAD COUNTRY FOR KINGS
Many Rulers Of Poland Compelled to
Leave, Murdered or lanominl-
ousIy Deposed.

Poland has not been very kind to
its kings in the past. Henry Of valois,
a worthless man who was elected to
the throne by the diet, fled. after
reign Of five months, in most ludi-
crous fashion; Michael Wieniowiecki,
son of a famous general, a weak and
Insignificant man, who was elected
king against his will, "died suddenly"
one Augustus was deposed; his sue
cessor, Stanislaus Leszczynski, was
compelled to leave the country; Lads
laus had to resign and so had the last
king, Stanislaus.
When the time came for SigIsmund
II to take the crown, trouble arose
from his marriage. He had secretly
espoused. as a widower, widow Of
the great house Of Radziwill, and the
mobiles required the union to be an
nulled because they thought the coun-
try would gain more by foreign ALI
ance. Sigismund carried his point, and
his wife was crowned queen, but she
died soon afterward, not without sus-
picions Of having been poisoned by her
mother-in-law.

LITTLE PLOT THAT FAILED
Maogle's Effort to "Show Up" Mac
pherson Deserved to Succeed,
but Il Didn't.


Maggie had been to an excursion
with her sweetheart Macpherson, and
on her arrival home she requested her
mother to make some tea, as she had
had nothing to eat all day, and was
famished.
Had nothing to eatl" exclaimed the
ast0nished mother. "You dinna mean
tae tell me that Macpherson has taken
We for q trip and not gaen ye yer din
nerT
"Aye, that I dae," answered the
starving Maggie.
"Well. of all the mean beasts" said
her mother, as she mirlistered to Mag
gle's wants. "Gang AVA round tue his
lodgin's, and gee him back the haulf
dollar he paid fur yer ticket, and that'n
show him up in front O. his landlady."
So, after Maggie had filled the ach-
ing void, she donned her bonnet and
shawl, and set off for Macpherson's
lodgings.
"If Macpherson is in. tell him I wad
like tae speak tae him." she said to
the landlady, who answered her knock.
A moment or two later Macpherson
made his appearance. Astonished to
see who his visitor was, he asked what
was the matter.
There's naething the natter said
Maggie. II only wanted tae gle ye the
money fur ma ticket"
"Hoots, toots, wumman, there was
nae hurry. Saturday wad ha' been soon
enough" answered Mac, pocketing the
