AS Told by

OF A CARELESS NATURE

4 COLORED man owned a mule
"A which, for reasons best known to
himself, he desired to sell. Possibly
her defective eyesight had something
to do with his desire to dispose Of her.
He heard that a neighbor down the
road was In the market for mule. SO
he put halter on the animal and led
her to the cabin of the other negro.
At once negotiations were entered
In. The owner had delivered himself
of eulogy touching on the strength,
capacity for hard work, and amiabie
disposition Of his beast, when the pros
pective purchaser broke in with
question:
'Is dis yere mule fast?"
"Fast?" the proprietor snorted.
Look yere!" He gave the mule a
kick in the ribs, whereupon she
bucked sideways, tore down strip Of
fencing, galloped headlong through a
weeks washing, butting against the
side of the barn, and then caroming
off, tore across a garden patch and
vanished into the woods beyond the
clearing.

WOMAN GOLFERS DOG
GLAD LINKS CLOSED

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 10.-Winter
may be d season of discomfort for
golfers. but it has brought vacation
to Olga, German police dog, which
caddies for its mistress, Mrs. Harry
Is. kempner. woman champion of the
Idle Wild Country Club. Chicago.
Perhaps the vacation is not so
greatly welcomed by the canine caddy
at that, for the dog since 1t was
trained to serve on the links has
apparently enjoyed the task. The
dog displays great attentiveness and
sa gacity and is credited by Mrs.
kempner as one OF the main supports
in her successful struggle for the
club championship.
Olga's main helpfulness is in find
ing the hall when it gets into a
secretive lie and in retrieving balls
during practice Its mistress found
this particularly helpful. as it kept
her from getting nervous and taking
her mind off the difficult task of
making the best possible shot each
time Many golf matches have been
lost through the disconcerting an
noyance of having to look for ball
at Il critical moment, and much prac-
tice goes for naught when the golfer
gets annoyed at the. slowness Of the
boy caddy.
With a harness. Olga can carry
the caddy bag full of clubs also, but
the quadruped has found it's best use
as fore caddy.

to arrest the body weight, and mean
time the club keeps on coming. Be-
cause it is in motion it naturally in
creases it's velocity. So to keep up
with it in any event. or possibly to
speed it up still more, through the
ball. you actually give it throw with
the hands or wrists. The left leg has
remained stiffened against the body
weight while this throw takes place,
so that you get sort of leverage
against the clubhead. 1t then cracks
through the ball like cracking a whip.
If you try to lunge it through the
ball. stiff-armed and with the body stiff
and rigid. your hands will go in first,
as shown in figure 3, and the swing
will be merely a push.
Thus it will be seen that you can
hit hard at the bottom of the clubs
forward throw when you throw in the
wrists. Do not try to hit hard, or be-
gin to hit hard, when the club is away
up near the top of the back swing.
That will promote merely a lunge at
the ball.

1t is not until the PLAYER begins to
learn when not to hit hard that he
begins to get into the way of good golf
swings. I speak of when to hit hard
and when not to as this applies to the
forward swing, not to particular
strokes as against any other particular
strokes. And the knack of just where
to put the hit can be worked out in
doors. in a basement or the attic, as
well as anywhere else.
In figure l we see the club in cor
rect position at the top of the back
swing. In starting it forward from
here is where lot of golfers get into
trouble. They begin to hit with all
their might from the take-off. In
stead. the club should be permitted to
turn and start downward. largely of
its own volition, until the player is in
about the position indicated in figure 2.
Here the club is about half way
down to the ball. Meantime, the body
has glided forward through the hips
until the weight is rather against the
left leg. This leg has now stiffened

GOLF Is 300 YEARS
OF AGE IN IRELAND

Golf was played in Ireland 300
years ago. according TO a discovery
made by Joseph r. Fisher of Belfast
He has unearthed records which
show that Lord Montgomery, or plain
Mr.. Haigh, as he was then, was
granted land by King James near
where the famous Newcastle Links
now are. Montgomery gave a site for
school on this land and records show
that he allotted sufficient space for
schools to play at golf"
The school and links disappeared
during the troubled years of the civil
war and rebellion. in the latter half
Of the seventeenth century.
