The iron shot In golf has always
been described as a direct hit. while
the shot with the wooden clubs has
been described as a sweep. This IL so
TO certain extent. but in teaching
golfer TO use the iron Il would be
great folly TO teach him to merely
hit az the ball the same AZ he would
IL he had a bat In his hand and
were hitting "A baseball instead OF a
golf bali.
To make the proper iron shot one
must let tho club go on through
That Is. he must hit a; n point be
yond the ball 10 make sure he In
going TO get the proper shot for both
distance and direction
The beginner too often tries 70 get
the bail UP instead OF letting the
club do IL. But this Is not alone the
fault Of the beginner. as many a
player who has handled golf clubs
for years Is guilty of the samc thing
This IL because he has never taken
the trouble to find out how 10 play

Hoopeston, Ill-Although they lived

Sunday, after church.
Mrs. Cummings was noted in the
section for her desire for solitude,
which even her daughter could not
invade.
When the daughter called at noon
one day recently she found the front
door open. This had not occurred in
the eight years since her fathers
death. She saw also q light In the

She entered and found the body Of
her mother lying on lounge. The
old woman was dead. The BODY WAS
covered with blood. The head had
been caved in by a heavy blow. The
room was in great disorder.
Thought to Have Hoard.
Mrs. Cummings, who was eighty

Hoopeston, and her little two-story
frame house, which she owned, was
known as the golden house." Natives
frequently pointed 1t out to visitors
with the remark.

1t became town tradition.
When the husband of the aged wom-

the house was made. In out-of-the-

was found.
Subsequently the rumor spread that
this was but 1.-THE of the wealth Of
Mrs. Cummings. Not even her daugh-
ter could tell how much money was
in the house.
The authorities had warned Mrs.
Cummings to put her money in bank.
