Speaking of Lincoln,

sopedklHS Oh ElHCO!lI,
Reminds me Of the days
OF the anti bellum days
OF long ago,
When we used TO buy Coon
That was worth picayune.
From a hundred TO a thousand
Bones or so,
But the world is getting purer,
Aud there's no sign any surer,
Than the price that you can
Buy him for these days
Long about election time,
You can buy hin for a dime,
Plus tho paltry price
Tho other fellow pays.
The wish is full within me.
Thcu ! know the worlds agin me,
That the Coon will see his error
And get wise,

or these dirty, white tras..

Answer. Unless the player does not halve

surely during eighteen holes a player having
a handicap of bisques would be able to use
them so that he can win the same number
Of holes as he has bisques Especially Il is
so II the number of bisques given is not
