Only a Beginner.

An old farmer was driving along q lane along q golf course and stopped for a moment to watch the game. "What's that?" he demanded curious ly. Golf" was the reply. "Want to try your hand, uncle?" Don't mind if l do," declared the farmer, wrapping the lines around the dashboard and climbing down. The players gave him a few points about hazards and bog ies, and finally one pointed to flag on a hill 250 yards away. "At the foot of that pole,' he said, 'is little hole. The object is to put this ball in the hole with the smallest number of strokes" The farmer took the club, sighted for some time, and then let go a whale of a stroke. The ball scared With a mighty swish into the air, and fled unerringly toward the flag. It fell short, bounced, rolled and wound up hands breadth from the objcctive-a phenomenal shot that made the experienced players gasp. "By golly, l missed it." the farmer ex- claimed-Everybody's Magazine.

with the beauty of his person and the
gracefulness Of his manners. He gave
him the place, and that was the begin

English women are not the only ones

lean women are turning in large num-
bers every year to stock raising, bee
raising and farming of all sorts. When
the national beekeepers' association
had its last annual meeting in Phila-
delphia it was noticed that a large
number of the members were women
and they took a pertinent part in the
discussions.
Western women are older hands at
the business. The Missouri Woman
tells us there are 5000 woman farm
ers in that state, and they are women
who farm intelligently. scientifically
and successfully. They study the bull.

Animals In Fire,

Most animals are afraid Of fire and
will fee from it In terror. To others
there Is a fascination about a fame,
and they will walk into it even though
tortured by the heat.
A horse In a burning stable goes mad
with fear, but a dog is as cool in a
fire as at any time. He keeps his nose
down to the floor, where the air is pur
est, and sets himself calmly to finding
his way out. Cats in fire cry piteous-
ly. They hide their faces from the
light and crouch In corners. When
their rescuer lifts them they are, as a
rule, quite docile and subdued, never
biting or scratching.
Birds seem to be hypnotized by fire
and keep perfectly still. Even the To-
quacious parrot In fire has nothing to
say. Cows. like dogs, do not show
alarm They are easy to lead forth
and often find their way out them
selves-London Answers.
