| once witnessed at Chicago.
Bob McWaLt. professional at the
Lake Geneva, Ill, Country Club, was
playing a well known local amaetur
whose name has slipped from my
memory, but whom. for convenience,
l have made the basis of the above
riddle developed when only two holes
remained to be played. At the time
McWatt was one down, so that it
had direct effect on the outcome.
The 18th hole, as I recall it, was
a bit over 400 yards in length. Brown
was on in two and so well placed
that there was good chance of his
holing out in 3. McWatt, however,
got into trouble on his second shot
the ball dropping in deep rough at
the right of the fairway.
His lie certainly was nasty-in a
veritable tangle of weeds and grass.
He tried to get out with his mashie
niblick, but he was able to do no
more than advance his ball bare
six feet, still in the rough.
Bob was considerably peeved. He
walked up to his ball and took d
vicious swing at it almost without
settling into his stance. The result
was a beauty of d shot. The pellet
described perfect are and came
down dead to the cup.
Did ] say dead to the cup? Well,
not quite. You see, Browns caddy.
who was holding the pin. had been
caught mapping by the angry Nc
Watts quick stroke. He didn't see
the play and was utterly unconscious
of the balls approach. He didn't
wake up until, with heavy thud, it
dropped into his employers bag.
His caddie's careleSSneSs certainly
was costly to Brown. Under the rules
there was nothing to do but to award
the hole to McWatt. This squared
the match and on the 18th he won
out.
Thus you have the answer to my
puzzle: McWatt took twice as MANY
strokes as Brown. Neither one put
ted. McWatt beat Brown.

IDAHO SENATOR
DEMANDS PROBE
SENATOR COOLING ASKS SENATE
TO INVESTIGATE CHARGES
MADE AGAINST HIM
Denies That He Has Ever Been
Given Excessive Loans To
Finance Livestock Interests
In Home State

| Washington,-Senator Gooding, Re
publican of Idaho, asked the senate
Thursday to investigate charges made
by the Pomona Grange of Idaho that
he and his friends were favored by
the war finance corporation in loans
to livestock interests.
Denying that there had been any
excessive loans to his or allied inter-
ests in Idaho, Senator Gooding said
he wanted a thorough inquiry into the
subject. He declared his own firm.
Grain and Gooding, a livestock con-
Germ had obtained only 2,0O0 f. w.
Gooding and Sons, 500. 800, and T. II.
Cooling and Son, S21 800, and that
all of the money had been repaid
Senator Gooding said the war fl
nance corporation had done lot of
good in Idaho. but that not all of the
farmers of the state received loans,
as they had not Joined the organiza-
ton of corporations necessary to OBJ
tain government aid.
MY own bank organized a cOrpor-
ers in my county," Senator Gooding
said. I'VE then obtained money from
the war finance corporation to cover
the loans made by the banks to our
corporation. No such corporation was
organized around Boise, the home of
the Pomona Grange. Evidently that
grange expected the government to
make direct loans to the farmers,
which. of course. it could not do"
A resolution presented by the Idaho
senator asked for a full investigation
of the activities of the war finance
corporation and urged that Senator
Wheeler, Democrat of Montana, pro-
secutor of the Daugherty committee,
have charge of the inquiry.

at If / say that Van Gogh did not paint
mere chair, but the soul of the chair,
and that 1t is impossible to explain 1t
to those who do not feel the passion
with which that wonderful Dutchman
realized his conception of the real ma
ture of inanimate objects as well as Of
living beings.
The wonder to me Is not that there
are people willing to pay $4,000 and
more for one Of Van Gogh's pictures.
but that this practical recognition Of
his greatness was delayed until after
his death, and that he was allowed to
spend his life on earth In sordid pow
erty and neglect and on the verge Of
starvation.
But such is the story of the masters
of the Nineteenth century, and more
particularly of the impressionists and
their Immediate precursors, Jean Fran
co.'s Millet, the painter of the world
famed "Angelus," is notable in
stance. One of his biographers tells
us that "his days we're darkened by
adversely and hope deferred, the gaunt
specter of Want lowered ever about
his home and was only driven from
his threshold by almost superhuman
efforts, while sickness and suffering
were never long absent from his pill
low"
Even more tragic than the story of
Millet's life is that of Meryon's and
Monticelli's. Meryon's whole career
was heartening struggle against adj
versity, ending in starvation and mad
ness. When he had completed his won
derful Paris set of etchings he vainly
tried TO find purchasers for 1t at So
the set. In 1910 an impression of one
of the plates, "L'Abside de Notre
Dame" sold for $4,000, and $1,000 is
about the average price paid by col
lectors for a single impression of a
plate from the Paris set.
