CIVIL WAR VETERAN
OF SO NEVER MISSES
DAILY GAME OF GOLF

PINEHURST, n. c., Dec. %
Golf is not all for the young, accord
ing to John X. Towle, S3-year-old
Civil War veteran. The other day the
finals of the season members tourna-
ment was called off because Of rain,
and, when Towle came into the club
house dripping but happy, after his
daily round, he soundly berated the
softness Of modern youth.
Towle thinks that the modern young
men do not take the game seriously
enough and thinks that older men
would do much better if they took up
the game.
Towle did not take up the game
here until 1902, when he was 60
years old, being before that an en-
thusiastic bowler and billiardist. He
gets around in just a little over a
hundred, occasionally under.
Towle, who lives in Chicago, served
in the Civil War under Captain Ru-
fus Dawes, father of the vice presi-
dent,

LIES CENTERS.

The center on a football team sell
dom breaks into the limelight. We
find him making no brilliant runs
around the end, no spectacular
plunges through the line and down
the field. He understands perfectly
that he is not expected to bask in
the rays Of glory. But if he is play
ing his position right up to the han
die he cuts more figure than the spec
tator may realize.
So it is with many men in life.
They toll on unknown and unsung,
making good in their respective places,
throwing back the fierce charges of
business rivals, standing pat and TAX
ing their medicine in the face of
business adversely, protecting those
that depend on them-and receiving
and asking no credit for doing their
plain duty.
Few can be brilliant halfbacks,
lodging, speeding and twisting down
the field in the heat of battle, win
ming the frenzied applause of thou
sands. For this sort Of thing not
many are called and fewer are chosen.
But if you cannot be plunging
halfback or a dashing fullback you
can play your position in the line.
You can take and give the hard
knocks that, unfortunately, count so
much in the grim struggle for actual
existence and possible success. You
can so conduct yourself that those
who have the right to depend on you
will never be disappointed.
