Dual Character In Men.

Most men are two characters under
the same hat. On the outside the one
wears mask of civility, good COM
radeship and progress. On the inside
is the crouch, the scold, the pessimist.
Often the opposite is true. The outer
man Is crusty, exacting and may even
be repellent. His other self is the
warm, true soul that longs for love and
shows up best with few chosen
friends. In either case life is con-
slant contradiction, The men are real.
Each has his followers and each has
his special task In the world. The
unfortunate thing is we don't always
get men at their best and so lose much
OF the better vision that would help
take little of the harshness from the
old world.-Pennsylvania Grit.

Dutch Form Of Golf.

Where and when golf started no
body knows of certainty; whether
or not it comes from Holland or Scot
land matters little, perhaps. except to
the seeker after the truth and nothing
but the truth. To him we would say
that some, sort Of a game resembling
golf was played in Holland oftentimes
on the fee with stakes instead OF
holes. No rules for such play have
ever been discovered, but from pic
lures we learn that the finish Of this
Hollandish form was somewhat after
the fashion Of croquet. with the ball
being hit between two sticks.
