FOOTING CROOKS NEW SPORT
South American City Found Way to Reform Pickpoekets But the ln-
 nocent Suffered Also.

"Hnoting the picipocFet' bids fair to become the national pastime unless the police interfere says q correspond= eat at Buenns Aires Pocket picking on street ears has become q great nuisance and a local newspaper of fered a novel method of combating the thieves.
 "0ne of the tricks much practiced." it explained. lis for one person to stoop in the doorway of the car to tie his shoe lace or to pick up some ob- jeet Thus he obstructs the move ments of the victim whose pockets are emptied by the stooper's associates. Brief and vigorous action Is best. Kick the bending person into the car with out mercy. He will express surprise, but this is better than being robbed"
 The plan was an immediate hit. It proved such good sport that the slight est sign of a genuf1eetIon in the door way of a street car is generally the sig nal now for the genutlector to land in- stantly on all fours in the middle of the aisle. No end of fights have re- suited and the police are threatening to interfere. Meanwhile the pickpockets are devisng other tricks and are re- ceiying few of the kicks.

Growing In the Mind.

It Is said that Coleridge once ex- claimed to Charles Lamb: '.l could write plays Just as we'll as Shake speare, if I had mind to" Yes, said Lamb, that is just what you lack" It is q blessing, however, that even though we may not be able to do the work of a great genius we may count upon growth in strength and breadth of mind. You can do with your mind today what you could not do five years ago. If you will give your mind an opportunity to grow by hard. honest, faithful, severe work. you will be able to do much more five years from now than you are able to do today. If your mind becomes poisoned with low ideals, with poor literature, with wrong con captions cf life, you may as well ex- pect It to grow. as to expect a plant to grow in your garden when you have allowed every sort of plant en- emy to hurrow about the roots and feed on the stalks and leaves.

The Missing Purse.

On board q warship which was in the thick of the battle of Jutland and was well hammered by the enemy many poor fellows lost the number of their mess and many more were sadly wounded, Among these latter, writes the chaplain of the grand fleet, was a sailor whose leg was so much shat tered and lacerated by a splinter of shell that there was nothing else to do but to amputate it above the knee. The poor wounded man was practical ly unconscious from loss of blood. so the surgeons were not able to tell him of their intentions before operating Some hours later he recovered con seiousness and found himself com fortably tucked up with the stump dressed and bandaged. When he learned what had happened he broke into an agonized cry. No, not for the crippling he had undergone; his cry was.

GOLFERS TO DO THEIR SHARE
Young Men Whose Names Are Most Prominent in Tournaments Will
 Be With the colors

What effect war will have upon American golf is a question that is easily answered, At first blush to say that war will practically kill American golf during the continuance of hostil- ities seems like evil tidings but upon consideration and reflection differ ent aspect is revealed. One need only to look to the home of the royal and ancient game to perceive why Amerf- can golf, by which Is meant golfing competitions among the ranking play CTS, must surely be no more until peace returns, says Golf Illustrated. The officials of the baseball leagues are declarfng that war shall not make them close their gates, but that is an example which golf cannot and will not golf save the clubhouse door which the golfer will shut behind him when he goes forth to serve his country. No lure of the links kept the golfers at home in Britain and none will keep them here. The organization and ma ehinery of the game will be carried on by the members beyond military age. but the younger men, the men whose names fill the first flights in the tour nament rosters will be with the colors if the nation needs them IL was so in Britain and it will be so here. Golf would not be golf were anything else 10 happen.
