is so per cent practice and 10 per cent
natural aptitude. If this is correct
then the man who goes about his play
intelligently can get within 10 per
cent of championship golf. And when
he does this he has as an additional
stimulus to his ambition the knowl-
edge that he probably has within him
self that 10 per cent of aptitude
necessary to reach the top.
The first months of practice will be
hard and always one must be careful
not to overdo, but that carefulness
must not be allowed to slip into the
ha bit of not doing enough. The great
est truble with our would-be cham
pions is that they try to learn every
thing at once and ignore the great
Importance of practice plus syste-
matte effort. 1t is almost golfing
maxim that famous college athletes do
not make good golfers If this maxim
is true it is because college athletics
are usually quickly learned and sue
cess in them depends to a great extent
upon natural physical advantages. In
golf just the reverse is true.

Learning Golf Takes Time.

Golf is not a ga, lie to learn in day,
a month or a year, but when one has
travelled a short distance in the royal
and ancient pastime he finds that
there is a great deal of genuine pleas
ure in the learning, while the exer
else it entails is a health tonic. 1t is
well not to underestimate the diff
culties of golf for unless the man is
prepared for them he is likely to be-
come discouraged before he realizes
the possibilities within himself and
the recreation the game will give him.
If this happens he is likely either to
give up the game entirely or reconcile
himself to play poorly all the days of
his life

The old chap had carried his grub in

And in fence corner we all saw him

Determined to capture that old mig

He slowly and slyly crept through the

After reaching the place 1t was easy to

Though the contents therein were in

Powell swore they were better than

THE WRITER'S PREDICAMENT
AS a member of the Forage Band
I felt that I must try my hand;
So, quietly stealing away from camp,
started out on a forage tramp.
With good carbine and a steady aim
1t wasn't long till | sighted my game I;
And bringing nerve and skill together

While wondering what next to be
about,
Colonel Maltby with ield-glass spied
me out.
With haste his horse he then did
mount,
And quickly called me to account.
What are you doing, you scamp he
cried
Like faultless innocence, l replied
Colonel my arm is sorely smitten,
BY this bad sheep, I'm badly bitten. II
He gruffly said, Sir, none of your

Can't you whip sheep without your
gun?

ten during a lull In ,hostilities)
Camp ELLA Bishop" near Lexing-
ton, KY, January, 1868.
Old Friend:
If you can spare the time
To read my poor, unpublished rhyme,
I'll tell you how our time Is spent
Around and In our spacious tent.
Our mess is quite jolly crew
And now have little else to do
But romp and prank the live long
And thus we drive the blues away.
Sometime ago our grub was scant
But now, indeed, we've all we want;
For while we ate old tainted ham
1t reached the ears of Uncle Sam"
Forthwith he proved himself our
friend;
And to our wants he did attend
And for our welfare every wary.
Established here our commissary.
Included in this bill of fare
Which he has kindly furnished are
Old rusty bacon, bareback, rice
We've had some butter once or twice
(when we bought it,
We sometimes get some nice frest
beef;
And that, to us, is great relief
From mess pork, purtrid near the bonC
And strong enough to stand alone.
Beans, coffee, sugar, sometimes sof
bread
Are on our rude-built-table spread
A can of oysters goes quite nice
But our own pockets pay that price
John Dodd is indeed jolly old cook
To the welfare of all he is certain t
look;
While old John scatters tin plate
about,
Bill Dunbar pours the coffee out.
Around the table then we meet,
Each claiming he the most can eat
Beating his chum upon the pate
With old tin cup or greasy plate.
! When from the table we arise
With bean soup smeared on face ant
eyes,
And mustache daubed with pepper anC
grease,
We then enjoy hearty sneeze.
Our supper over, then at night
While gathered round the campfire
light,
Mid romp and scuffle, laugh and joke
We fill our pipes and take a smoke
And when "Tottoo" the bugles sound
In sharp shrill notes the camp around
We closely tie our canvass door,
And take long eight hours snore
We now enjoy quiet day
| As the REBELS seem quite far away;
| And safe from scenes of blood anC
slaughter
Major Foley courts a farmers daugh
ter
In order to have change of grub,
We've organized Forage Club,
And II pigs or sheep get in our range
We're sure to have welcome change
One moonlit night when all was still
Sam Hills strolled across the hill,
Knocked in the head, nice fat shoat
Then drew his knife and cut its throat
Sam then declared the vicious pig
Had bit him badly on the leg,
He vowed he had a perfect right
In his own self defense to fight.
With willing hands our aid we lent
And logged the porkie to the tent,
And from this sly and hasty work
We Toasted on nice roasted pork.
But soon again our grub fell short;
To forage then we must resort,
Out from the camp where a stream
meanders
Charley Huffman captured two OLE
ganders.
We hung them over a roaring fire
(And when twas needed, we built 4
higher
For eight long hours, which We
thought enough
But Huffman's ganders were still toe
tough.
THE STOLEN BUCKET
One Hne summer day we were out on
grand picket.
And stationed quite close TO dense
thorny thicket.

CRAIG NOTES

The Craig steam laundry is closed temporarily. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Spencer the proprietors, have gone to Seattle to buy more machinery, and also for a visit to their parents.
 Jack Burton has been learning to dance. After a recent dance he went home and went to bed, but dancing was so much on his mind that he got out of bed at ? am. and awakened his brother Harry to show him new step. Now Harry has got the bug and is learning to tWo- step too"
 Tom Francis has just returned from a weeks hunting trip. The game he bagged made his back so weak that he never reached Craig with it. We trust he will have better luck next time.
 Mrs. John R. Smith has re- turned from Ketchikan where she went to meet her daughter and granddaughter who will spend the. winter with her and Grandpa Scotty.
 Herman Olsen and and Ragnor Dahl have gone to Petersburg.
 We hope that by this time next week Charlie Cloudy will be able to bend his leg which he hurt some time ago while playing in the basketball team at Kla- wock.
 We wonder why Rudolph Palm is finishing his new home in Craig so soon. We hope the spring time will explain.
 We wonder why Scotty Smith has been so cross lately. Can it be because he has been cutting a winter supply of wood for a change?
 Capt. Vonsolo of the Salome has promised to take the ladies of Craig to Klawock on skating expedition in the near future. The captain says rough weather makes no difference to him and the only thing that could stop him from giving the ladies a trip would be Mrs. Vonsolo.

Good many appear to be fright ened about the prophesied storm of December 17. When it is re- membered that the pull of a planet varies inversely as the square of the distance, and when the immense distance, and the small specific gravity of the out side four planets is considered, it can easily be shown that even if all the 8 planets were in conjunc- tion, which they will not be on December r, the pull of the earth on the suns photosphere would not be increased one-tenth of one per cent. So all prophe- cies about any unusual storms December IT are nonsense.

THE FUR MARKET

We consider mink 20 per cent off; otter, July prices; bear, 15 per cent off; lynx, good demand; all foxes from 20 to 10 per cent off. All indications point to a further decline in March, as prices have been boosted too high, consequently curtailing the de- mand.

Sources of Danger

Vaccination produces an inham- nation of the skin and sore which is subject to the same acci- dents and dangers as any other sore. The dangers are those of in- lection with germs of human dis eases, but they are less than those which threaten an ordinary cut finger. The possible sources ot danger are we'll known, and may readily be prevented.
