GOLFER KEPT SABBATH HOLY
Alexander Mcclellan, Enthusiast of An
Gent Game, COLLECTED" Ball
in the Plate.

Golfers of the old school We're very
familiar with the name of Alexander
Mcclellan perhaps the greatest enthu-
siasts the royal and ancient game ever
had. All day and every day he played
over the Bruntsfield links, and at night
he found il SO difficult to reIinquish his
beloved game that he played the put
ting course by candlelight. Yet all this
devotion to golf notwithstanding, he
never became a great player The
Sabbath was strictly observed by him,
and on that day he acted as doOrkeep-
er at a church in Edinburgh One Sun
day morning Douglas Gourley. a we'll
known golf ball manufacturer, came TO
the kirk" and. instead of his usual
donation he placed a brand new golf
bali on the plate which Mcclellan ex-
tended. 1t requires but a small flight
of Imagination TO determine what be-
came of that ball.

The hands OF the Tarta khan of

During the reign OF the Polish
king. Sigismund III. several diets
were held within its walls. and in
1894 and 1896 il was the meeting
place Of two remarkable councils
OF the bishops OF western Russia,
at which the question of a union
between the Greek and the Roman
Catholic church was discussed. In
1857 and again in 1905 the town
was captured by the Swedes, and

IOveliness OF whom attracted the as-
tention OF one of the commanders
OF the attachment OF Teutonic
knights who stormed the fortress.
He carried her away to his apart

days. Olgerd looked everywhere
for his daughter, and when at last
he had found him and her ravish-
er. Malwina had grown 20 love him,

knight. Olgerd, incensed. plunged
his dagger into the heart of the
