Famous ST. Andrews.

Ask any man keen on outdoor games
what st. Andrews is famous for and
he will reply. without hesitation:
Golf" The sage who said that the
Scots were brought up on porridge and
theology is sometimes thought to have
only partially stated the case. as be
said nothing about the royal and an
cient game" The coastal towns of
Flfeshire are indeed famous for their
golf courses. but the Mecca of all
those who "run ABBOTT WI a bag o.
sticks after a wee bit ba'" is certainly
the royal burgh Of ST. Andrews. Fife
shire was once described as "a beg
CARS mantle fringed with gold" but
most people think IL was the big golf
ing centers, and not the seaport towns
which were thought 10 be
the golden fringe. However, golf at
tracted visitors, and visitors mean
more trade. but II is in erestlng TO
hear that trade is being improved also
by the export Of iron golf heads TO
the United States. This will all help
to get the exchange value of the "baw-
bee" back to normal The Scots some
times think of other things than "gelf."

suckwheat and Cakes.

Even though there is great satisfac-
ton at the breaking of five crop records
In the United States this year. many
an American must heave a sigh as he
reads that the buckwheat crop has
never exceeded the production of 1886.
and that. this season it is 100000
bushels below the top yield of that
year. Who does not know that the de-
cline of the buckwheat cake as the
backbone of a hearty breakfast Is the
cause of the falling off?
The buckwheat cake was once an
American institution. 1t followed the
pioneer from the Atlantic coast into
the depths of the Middle West. Its
allies were homemade sausages and
syrup. 1t held the lines
from early November until the sap be-
gan to run in the spring. Then there
followed plentiful doses of sulphur
and molasses to rid the blood of i'm
purities supposed to be the result of
buckwheat's heating qualities. But
who cared? Wasn't the kind of cakes
that mother used to bake on the soap
stone griddle worth even such a price7

but they say that hurry Autumn
out of the way just as Spring with
all her lovely ways and graces pushes
me out of the way.
Now. Autumn usually has put on
his old things when l come around.
He is dressed very shabbily in old
browns and sometimes he is badly torn

the beautiful way in which Autumn
dresses when I've come little ahead
of time for a short talk.
"Then there is Summer. She is
beautiful lady, I'm told. But l don't
see her.
"Sbe wears lovely pale greens and
soft-toned browns, and she wears wav-
ing wheat In her hair, and she carries
lovely yellow goldenrod. and she goes
about to the gardens touching them
with her magic wand and making all
the flowers come out in beautiful ar
ray
Summer is a beautiful creature.
"But / never really see her. She
looks after gardens. She Is always
present at picnics and at tennis games
and at swimming parties.
"She never comes to the skating
parties give, nor the slelgh-rldes nor
the coasting parties.
'She simply hates cold weather, they
say She loves warmth and sunshine.
Now, never get TO know her at all.
Once In while, as said, we do catch
glimpses of each other. We join to-
gether sometimes during Springs visit
or Autumn's visit and we fly about
after each other and have great, glorl-
Gus races. and we have such time
that the earth people say, Goodness,
gracious, first of all 1t seems like a
summers day and then II has touch
Of autumn to 1t, and then It seems as
cold as winter. an6 then 1t feels little
like the early spring.
"HWhat a queer, queer day 1t is
they say.
"And that is when we are having
one of our frolics. But they come
very seldom. For the most part the
four seasons do not know each other.

Spring knows Summer and me
slightly.
Summer knows Spring and Autumn

says writer in the Manchester Guard
ian.
Long before midnight they began to
come. In the light of the Pickering
candles on the white al6ar and the
few lights shining on the white ceiling
of the gallery one saw two or three
well-dressed women sitting in the pews
on one side and two or three men on
the other, and wondered whether 1t
were worth while keeping the church
open and two policewomen in attend
ance for so few wanderers. But the
sound of heavy breathing, so loud in
the silence, did not come from them.

of the pews as a newcomer entered.
Then they sank TO rest again, while
the stranger, after a few hesitant min
utes sitting bolt upright as If at serv-
ice, disappeared from sight and soon
was fast asleep.
The policewomen kept unobtrusive
watch. Where they saw a man Sleep
ing on the floor they woke him, remind
ing him that he must lie on the seat.
The man In shirtsleeves was told TO
put on his coat; the man who for
second time had disregarded the order
to put on his boots and who had rolled
under the seat had to leave the chui CHI.
The discipline of the shelter is slight.
but it must be obeyed.
After midnight young woman from
Lancashire came in, carrying a heavy
child. She said that all day she had
sought in vain for lodgings. No one
would take her in because of the baby,
and at last a kindly policeman had
sent her here. AS she sat there hold
ing the child her shoulders moved I'M

licewoman. folding a thick coat, made
up bed on the pew for the preternat-

gency a second visit may be allowed,

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp.Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made, the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble Is go
common to the American people. and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR.,

sample bpttle. When writing be sure and
