GOLF in DARKNESS,
Enthusiastic Devotees Of Ancient Sport
y Refused to let Close Of Daylight
End Their Game.

So enthusiastic are some fellows Of
golf that even darkness, fog, or now
holds no terrors for them Until a 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 a
match between Lord Kennedy and a
Mr.. Cruikshank, which started about
10 o'clock p. m. A lantern Eat 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 a well-knownjcourse.
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
Durham Beeches, torch-bearers en-
abled the entrants Of a certain qualify
ing match to finish their rounds.-Lon-

lean. Cleopatra really was ugly.
This more or less startling fact, so
long unknown to the. world in general,
has come out from it's hiding to disil-
fusion a deluded public as a result Of
the annual convention of the Ameri.

Numismatists can prove that the
supposed %bewitching Egyptian queen
had irregular features, q fat chest,
large ears, small eyes and rather bony
shoulders. And, too. her neck was a
more OF less scrawny affair, with none
too faint suggestion Of an Adams ap.
pie.
The proof is found in some of thf
Tarescoins which the nunlismatists at.
nding the convention from all esac
pns Of the country brought with

IronicaI Philosophy.

j. The idea that handsome is Us hand
some does has caused so much trouble
ever since it was first sprung upon an
u~nsuspecting world that it 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
a matter Of fact. no. beautiful girl ever
does anything else. It 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
thesright.
II you do a thing, on the other hand,
the mere fact that you have doneit Is
supposed to insure you being hand
some. What nonsensel II you do, the
handsome thing 1t will never be- re.
garded as handsome by the only PEG
pie whose opinion Is worth while, be-
cause with them doing the handsome
is SO usual that 1t becomes common
place. II you are homely, nothing
you do will be handsome.
To do a handsome thing, therefore.
always start by being handsome, Then
you won't have to do it.-Life.
