lows of Tournament Golf.

Wouldn't it make you mad If you
were entered in a golf tournament and
you started out shooting the little old
pill down the line, better than you
ever had and finished the first nine
holes in the lowest score you had ever
made; slipped little on the second
nine, but still had a chance TO make a
respectable showing, and then on the
eighteen hole in the presence of an
admiring throng of friends you pro-
ceeded to put the pill into the ditch
three times and take eleven strokes
where five should have been plenty2
Wouldn't IT make you mad?
Well, the only consolation we know
out of that horrible catastrophe Is that
we remembered even in our rage that
there were ladies' within hearing dis
lance. We came up smiling out Of the
ditch, but we sincerely hope the young
woman in the pink gown and the big
hat who grnned gleefully at us Is no

Eamoua Amerloan cllnner shins

In the days of the famous clipper
ships, the American vessel was sec
ond to none. writes Frederick A. Col
Inns in Boys Life. No other country
could build ships at once so staunch
and so speedy. Records were estab-
lished which have never been sur
passed by sailing craft and even with
the use of steam, were not bettered for
nearly half century. In 1852 the
Sovereign of the Seas sailed 436 miles
in n single day. The Lightning crossed
the Atlantic in IL days 20 hours, and
the James Blaine of $500 tons made
the voyage from Boston to Liverpool
in 10 days and hours. Although
America led the way with the first
transatlantic steamship, she allowed
the sovereignty of the seas to slip
gradually from her. At the beginning
of the war most of her tonnage was
aGoat on the great lakes or engaged
IN coastwse traffic, and her deep-sea
fleet was small.

blood are not eliminated through the
kidneys. disease of one form or another

Kidney disease is usually indicated by
