PLAYED GOLF IN DARKNESS
Enthusiastic Devotees of Ancient Sport
Refused to Let Close of Daylight
End Their Game.

So enthusiastic are some fellows OF
golf that even darkness, fog, or snow
holds no terrors for them Until year
or two ago, at any rate, two brothers.
members Of the Lundin Links club,
Fifeshire, invariably waited for dark
ness to fall before starting their game.
Another remarkable instance OF play
in the dark was the occasion OF d
match between Lord Kennedy and
Mr.. Cruikshank, which started about
10 o'clock p. m. \ lantern at each
hole was the only lighting used. And,
strange as it may seem, the opponents
PLAYED the holes in almost the same
number of strokes as they would
have taken to do it on the brightest
day.
Not nearly so successful, however,
was a tournament which took place
after dinner over q well-known course.
After the first shots from the prelim-
mary tee, not a single ball was found
again.
But, apart from matches got up after
sunset for wagers, many really i'm
portant tournaments have taken place
after dark. To wit, some years ago, at
Burnham Beeches, torch-bearers en-
abled the entrants of a certain qualify
ing match to finish their rounds.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

IronicaI Philosophy.

The idea that handsome Is as hand
some does has caused so much trouble
ever since it was first sprung upon an
unsuspecting world that 1t Is high
time it is disposed Of. In the first
place, if you are really handsome,
especially if you happen to be girl,
you don't have to do anything else. AS
q matter of fact, no beautiful girl ever
does anything else. 1t isn't necessary
for her to cook or sew or even talk.
All she has to do is to sit still and be
loved, and the line usually forms on
the right.
If you do a thing, on the other hand,
the mere fact that you have done it is
supposed to insure you being hand
some. What nonsense! If you do the
handsome thing twill never be re-
garded as handsome by the only peo-
pie whose opinion is worth while, be-
cause with them doing the handsome
Is so usual that it becomes common
place. If you are homely, nothing
YOU do will be handsome.
To do handsome thing, therefore,
always start by being handsome. Then
you won't have to do it.-Life.

PRAYER THAT MERITS PRAISE
II a Man Would Live UP to 1t, the
World Would Be Better Because
He Had Lived.

We do not know who Homer Mckee
may happen to be, but certainly Homer
McKee's prayer, as published by the
Kansas state board of health, is some
thing that would be worth while for all
Of us to consider; and if we commit
the principle to heart we cannot go
far astray. Here it is:
Teach me that 60 minutes make an
hour, 16 ounces one pound, and 100
cents one dollar.
Help me to live so that I can lie
down at night with clear conscience,
without gun under my pillow and I'M
haunted by the faces Of those to whom
I have brought pain.
Grant, I beseech Thee, that I may
earn my meal ticket on the square,
and in doing thereof that l may not
stick the gait where it does not belong.
Deafen me to the jingle of tainted
money and the rustic of unholy skirts.
Blind me to the faults Of the other
fellow, but reveal to me my own.
Guide me so that each night when l
look across the dinner table at my
wife, who has been q blessing to me,
that will have nothing to conceal.
Keep me young enough to laugh at
my children and to lose myself in their
play.
And then when comes the smell of
flowers and the tread Of soft steps, and
the crunching Of the hearse's wheels
in the gravel out in front of my place,
make the ceremony short and the cpl
taph simple: "Here Lies q Man."-The
Billboard.

DANCE HALLS OF BIRD LAND
Australian Bower Bird Builds Both
Playhouse and Garden, and
Enjoys Them.

There are several species of bower
irds, chief among them the satin and
he Newton. The satin bower bird is
he best known. When the bowers were
irst discovered it was supposed that
hey were playhouses built by the ma
i've children; but, as a matter OF fact
hcv are the dance halls of bird land,
avs the National Geographic Maya
zine. The nests are built in the trees
md have no connection with the play
houses. The male birds build these
latter and gather every bright and
shining object they can find to adorn
the entrance to the bower. When it is
completed, according to one who mas
watched them, little "at homes are
given daily, at which the males meet
and pay their court to their lady
loves, now bcwing and scraping, now
playing hide and seek through the bow
er, and now doing an absurdly digni-
fed dance for their edification. New
toms bower bird decorates its bower
with fresh flowers every day, and ii
visiting male bird wants a fight all he
has to do is to disturb one of these
flowers. The mastGr of the bower pro-
ceeds with the painful duty of teaching
him how to behave in company, while
the remainder of the party raise
great racket. but never interfere. A
naturalist studying them disarranged
one of their flowers, but each time he
did it the bower master rearranged 1t
with great care.

BEST SOIL FOR HORSERADISH
Plant Is Propagated by Cuttings
Which Are Made From Trimmings
From Its Roots.

Horseradish does best on deep, cool,
rich soil and for best results late sea-
son growth is necessary.
1t is propagated by root cuttings
which are made from trimmings from
roots prepared for the market. The
best cuttings are about the size of
ones little finger, and from 4 to Z
inches long. They should be planted
in rows far enough apart to allow
horse tillage, and from II to Is inches
apart in the row.
The horseradish plant is very hardy
and will stand much abuse, but in
planting one must use care in setting
the cutting so that the upper end Is
on top, otherwise the horseradishes
will grow irregular in shape. Very
often 1t is planted with other crops,
such as cabbage, spinach, early .beets,
etc.
In preparing for the market all of
the rootlets are cut off and the roots
tied in punches Of II.

FIND VALUE OF DAYS LABOR
Four Hours and 81 Minutes Required
to Produce BusheI of Corn In
RESTLESS Time Now.

The United States department Of
agriculture in 1855 made an investiga-
tion as to the time required to produce
a bushel of corn. They found that 1t
required 4 hours and "a minutes of
human labor. From 1909 to 1912 a
similar investigation was made. T. P.
Cooper, director of the North Dakota
experiment station, in summing up the
results, finds that 45 minutes is the
time required to produce bushel of
corn now, or only one-sixth as long as
in 1855. In other words, day Of hui
man labor now is worth more than six
times as much as in 1855, due to the
use of more and better machinery, bet
ter varieties Of corn and better soil
management.

Suuealer Never Popular.

Don't be a squealer! The telltale,
whether he or she >does 1t directly or
by inference or by helping to carry
tales, Is soon without the friendship
Or sympathy of anyone. However just
the accusation may be, do not be
party to it's publication by word or
act, unless there is involved some
wrong-doing so evil that to withhold
punishment therefor would be posi-
tive crime. Telltales are on a par
with and worse than many go-be-
tweens; they are mixers in other per-
sons business; they assume to correct
others misdeeds, and back of it all
they hope to see others belittled. There
Is seldom any unselfshness in tale
bearing.
