A shepherdess of sheep.
Her fiocks are thoughts. She keeps
them white:
She guards them from the steep.
She feeds them on the fragrant
height,
And folds them in for sleep.
She roams maternal hills and bright,
Dark valleys safe and deep.
Her dreams are innocent as night;
The chastest stars may peep
She walks-the lady OF my delight
A shepherdess of sheep.
She holds her little thoughts in sight,
Though gay they run and leap.
She Is so circumspect and right;
She has her soul to keep.
She walks-the lady of my delight
A shepherdess of sheep.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 26.-Final
rounds of the Southern Open golf
championship will getunder way to-
day with Bobby Jones, the home
town golfer. in the lead.
Jones took q commanding position
in the rich championship vixen he
turned in a 66'-Tor the second 1S,
Friday. This gave him a total OF
1873 for the first thirty-six holes and
a clear.cut advantage. The closest
competitors of the Atlanta amateur
are Johnny Farrell, New York, and
w. II. LIVE, Cleveland, who have
14S for the thirty-six.
Jones, Friday proved why he is
rated Americas greatest amateur.
His eighteen-hole performance was
a monotonous round of brilliancy. 1t
was a round made up Of fours and
threes. There was one two and
only once did he slip over for a five.
His card indicates the perfection
of his game.
IN ........... 4J4- 39O--Oo--OO
On the last hole he missed a long
putt which would have given him a
two for the hole and IS for the
is. The putt trimmed and stopped
dead. Bobby grinred his rather boy
ish grin and remarked:
st was trying to play it dead"
The elements were even with
Bobby. There wasn't much wind and
the course was in excellent shape. On
one hole he hooked badly. but the
limb of a tree interviewed and Bobby's
ball caromed back into the fairway.
That brought another typical
Bobby grin and the remark that it
was Just the difference between a
four and a seven"
