AS an Exponent Of the more I'D
vanced Play he was Fliv, but as a
Matchmaker he was Hum-Dinger.
He knew he was plain pastry for the
| Sharks, so he would hang around the
| first Tee waiting to cop out something
Soft.
One day he took on Mrs. OImstead's
Infant Son, just home from Military
School. The tender Cadet nursed him
along to IN even-up at the Puneil-Bowl
and then proceeded to smear His Vital
Organs all over the Bad Lands.
That evening Mr.. Pallzey told Mrs.
Pallzey she would have to cut down
on Household Expenses.
| Six years after he gave up the Bust
ness Career and consecrated himself to
something more Important, Mr.. Pal1zey
had so well mastered the battling Intri-
cacies that he was allowed to trail In a
Foursome with the President Of the
Club. This happened once.
It Is well known that any Person
who mooches around Country Club
for sufficient Period will have some
kind of Cup wished on to him.
Fourteen years after Mr.. Pallzey
threw himself into it, Heart and Soul.
and when the Expenses approximated
$4,000, he earned his Halo.
One evening he came back to his
haggard Companion chortling infant
wise, and displayed something which
looked like an Eye-Cup with Handles
on 1T.
He said it was Trophy. It was
Consolation Offering for Maidens with
an allowance of more than eighteen.
After that their Daily Life revolved
around the Departmental Bargain.
Mrs. Pallzey had to use Metal Polish
on it to keep it from turning Black.
When the Visitors lined up in front
of the Mantel and gazed at the tiny
Shaving Mug, the Cellar Champion of
the World would regale them with the
story of hairbreadth Escapes and NOV
ing Adventures by Gravel Gulieys and
rushing Streams on the Memorable Day
when he (Pallzey) had put the Blocks
to Old Man Willoughby, since de-
ceased.
Then he would ask all present to
feel Of his Forearm, after which he
would pull the FavOrite One about
Golf adding ten years to his life.
Mrs. Pallzey would be sitting back.
pouring Tea, but she never chined in
with any Estimate as to what had been
the effect on her Table Of Expecta-
tons.

The latter went along, just out of
Politeness, but he was good deal dis
appointed in his Friend. 1t certainly
did seem trifling for Huskie weighing
one hundred and eighty to pick on
something about the size of Robins
Egg.
Mr.. Pallzey played Gallery all around
the Course. He would stand behind
them at the Tee and smile in most
arid and patronizing Manner while
they sand-shuffled and shifted and jig
gled and joggled and went through the
whole calisthenic Ritual of st. Vitus.
He was surprised to note how far
the Ball would speed when properly
spanked, but he thought there was no
valid excuse for overrunning on the
Approaches.
Mr.. Pallzey found himself criticizing
the Form of the Players. That should
have been his Cue to climb the Fence.
All of the Mashiemaniacs start on
the downward Path by making Mind
Plays and getting under Bogey.
Back on the sloping Sward between
No. Is and the Life-Saving Station, the
two Contestants were holding the usu-
al PostMortem.
''Let me see that Dewficker min
Ute" said Mr.. Pallzey, as he carelessly
extracted a Mid-Iron.
He sauntered up to the silly Globule
and took an unprecedented Swipe.
The Stroke rang sweet and vibrant.
The ball rose in parabolic Splendor
above the highest branches of d ven
cradle Elm.
Just as the Face of the Club started
on the Following Through, the Bacil-
lus ran up and bit Mr.. Pallzey on the
Leg.
He saw the blinking White Spot far
out on the emerald Plain. He heard
the murmur of Admiration behind him.
He was sorry his Wife had not been
there to take it in.
leave me have another Ball." re-
quested Mr.. Pallzey.
The Virus was working.
He backed up so as to get Running
Start.
"This time" quoth Mr.. Pallzey, II
will push 1t to Milwaukee,
Missing the Object of Attack by
scant six inches, he did Genee toe
spin and fell heavily with his Face
among the Dandelions.
The Host brushed him off and said:
"Your Stance was wrong; your Tee
was too high; you raised the Left
Shoulder; you were too rapid on the
Comeback; the Grip was all In the
Left Hand; you looked up; you moved
your Head at the top of the Stroke;
you allowed the Left Knee to turn,
and you stood ahead of the Ball. 9th
erwise, it was Loo-Loo."
"If I come out next Sunday could
you borrow me Kit of Tools?' asked
Mr.. Pallzey. He was twitching violent
ly and looking at the Ball as IL it had
called him Name. II got the first
one oil right, and thing"
SO 1t was arranged that the poor
doomed Creature was to appear on the
following Sabbath and be equipped
with a set of Cast-offs and learn all
about the Mystery of the Ages be-
tween IL a. m. and p. m.
Mr.. Pallzey went away not knowing
that he was Marked Man.
On Monday he told the Stenographer
how he stung the Ball the first time
up. He said he was naturally quick
at picking up any kind of a Game. He
thought it would be Lark to get the
hang of the Whole Business and then
get after some of those Berties in the
White Pants. He figured that Golf
would be Pipe for anyone who had
PLAYED Baseball when Young.

"
~laelasS suburban LonesSmeness on
teetering Trolley. The name of the
man was Mr.. Pallzey. He had desk
with Concern that did merchandising
in large way.
Mr.. Pallzey feared Socialism and
carried his Wife's Picture in his Watch
and wore Plasters. In other words, he
was Normal, believing nearly every
thing that appeared in the Papers.
While the Dog-Fennel was softly
brushing the Foot-Board and the Motor
was purring consistently beneath, Mr..
Pallzey looked over into close cropped
Pasture and became the alert Eye-Wit-
ness of some very weird Doings.
He saw pop-eyed Person in soiled
Neglige, who made threatening move
ments toward something concealed in
the White Clover, with Weapon re-
sembling the iron Dingus used in goug-
Ing the Clinkers from a Furnace.
"What is the plot of the Piece?" he
inquired of a Grand Army man, sitting
next.
Il think" replied the Veteran, II
think he is killing Garter-Snake."
"Oh, no. spoke up the conversations
al Conductor. HE is playing Golluf,"
giving the word the Terre Haute pro-
nuneiatlon.
Mr.. Pa1lzey looked with pity on the
poor Nut who was out in the Hot Sun,
getting himself all lathered up with
One-Man Skinny.
He said to G. A. r. that it took all
kinds of People to make a World. The
grizz1ed Warrior arose to an equal At
titude by remarking that if the dag
goned Loon had to do it for Living,
he'd think it was Work.
Mr.. Pallzey had heard Of the new
Diversion for the Idle Rich, just as
people out in the Country hear of
Milk-Sickness or falling Meteors, both
well authenticated but never encoun-
tered.
While rummaging through she Sport
ing Page he could come across a cryp-
tic Reference to MacFearson of Drum
tochtie being 8 up and 2 to play on
Hargis of Sunset Ho, whereupon he
would experience sense of Annoy
ance and do a quick Hurdle.
He had seen In various Show-Win
dows the spindly Utensils and snowy
Pellets which, he had reason to be-
iieve, were affiliated In some way with
the sickening Fad. He would look at
them with extreme Contempt and rath-
or rprapf {boir comic M; ~ tiDo omit OIL
ity to the Mask, the Shin-Guard, and
the upholstered Grabber.
Mr.. Pallzey believed that Golf was
played by the kind of White Rabbits
who march in Suffrage Parades, wear
ing Gloves.
The dreaded Thing lay outside of his
Orbit and beyond his Ken, the same as
Tatting or Biology. His conception of
a keen and sporty game was Pin Pool
or Jacks Only with the Deuce running
Wild.
One Sunday he was invited out to
Food Saturnalia Mt Country-Place.
The Dinner was postponed until late in
the Day because they all dreaded it so
much.
Friend Host said he had a twosome
on at the Club and was trying out an
imported Cleek, so he invited Mr.. Pail
zey to be Spectator.
II he had said that he was going up
in a Balloon to hemstftch a couple of
Clouds. it would have sounded just as
plausible to Mr.. Pallzey of the Whole
sale District.

IDAHO LAUNCHED;
 GREAT WAR VESSEL
 Is HEAVILY ARMED
Hull of spperdreadnought So Constructed That Sub
 marines Handicapped.

Camden, N. J., June 30.-Another monster fighting machine for the navy took the water here today from the yards of the New York Shipbuilding company, when the superdreadnought Idaho, sister ship to the Pennsylvania, flagship of the Atlantic fleet was suc- cessfully launched. Henrietta Aurelia Simmons, granddaughter of Governor Alexander of Idaho, was sponsor for the big ship, and because of war con- ditions, the general public was not admitted to the ceremony, which was witnessed by a small group of navy, congressional and company officials. The Idaho will carry a round dozen 14-inch, 50-caliber rifles, mounted in trios, in four turrets, two forward and two aft.
 In size, armament, speedy and all but minor differences, she will be a duplicate of the Pennsylvania and of the Mississippi. Cleared turbine en- zines will furnish the 32,00O horse power necessary to hurl her 600 feet of length and 33,O00 tons of hulk through the water at the rate of more than 21 knots; but this class will be the last American battleship to be equipped with that type of propelling machin- cry, further ships to have the turbo- electric drive. There are no secrets about the Idaho's construction, ex- cept modificatinns made after her hull had been laid down to give her great CT security against submarine attack. Navy designers believe the vessel will be a hard problem for submarine and she cannot be sunk with single tor pedo.
 There will be 22 five-inch 51-caliber rifles swung along the Idaho's side as her protection against torpedo craft; four three-inch anti-aircraft guns of the long-range type recently designed by the bureau of ordance, will make it dangerous for hostile airplanes or Zeppelins which seek to approach; her great battery of powerful search lights will turn night into day when the Ship has need to use her armament after dark. Below the water line two 21-inch torpedo tubes supplement the terrific broadside weight of the ships guns.

HAIR COLOR.
 RESToRER
La Creole Darkens Gray Hair in a Few Days-Try Risk of Your
 Local Druggist.

No matter whether you are bothered with gray, streaked with gray, iron gray, or prematurely gray hair, fall ing hair, dry, dull and brittle hair, oily, greasy, string hair, +dandruff or itch ing scalp, any druggist invites you to try La Creole Hair Dressing at their risk. If it succeeds in darkening your gray hair, or making hair grow again, the cost is trifling, and should it fail it costs nothing. If your gray or fall ing hair is worth saving, La Creole is worth trying. La Creole is harm less-no dye, but has the wonderful effect of restoring the color glands to activity, so all your gray hair is natur- ally restored to that even dark, fas- cinating tone you used to have. Besides La Creole stops dandruff and falling hair and causes thin hair to grow thick and new hair hair to sprout all over your head, making entire head of hair soft, fluffy, long, thick, evenly dark and snappy with new life.-Adv.
