STATE CHAMPION NOT IN IT
Real Hero of the Links in This Com
munity Was the Man Who Re
fused to Play the Game.
We had a chance to demonstrate
£>»r theory last fall, says a writer in
the Topeka Capital. It worked like a
potato in a rheumatic's pocket.
Through the influence of the missus,
who has friends, we obtained a card
to a very select country club In an
eastern state, where we stayed ten
days The club had golfltis in Its
most acute form. The men and wom
en who frequented the club played
golf, talked golf, ate golf and slept
it. It was the home of the state
champion and the game was the one !
important topic of conversation.
For a day or two we were lost in !
the atmosphere of golf which befog- |
ged the place. Then we began to at- j
tract a little attention by indicating i
in a delicate and polite way that the j
whole thing bored us to extinction.
When we respectfully declined to en- j
gage in the game or borrow any of I
the implements connected with the
sport there wras great surprise. Our
assertion that we did not play the
game and did not wish to was receiv
ed wifh amazement. Up to the time !
of our advent the state champion had ;
been the colossal figure of the club.
At the end of three days we had :
the state champion hanging on to the j
ropes. At the end of a week his ex
istence had been forgotten. As a !
curiosity he had been crowded out of j
place by the “eccentric” Kansan who
sat around reading the reports of the J
world's championship games, deaf to \
golf and all of its manifestations. It
isn’t always the hand that is dealt
you. It is the way you play it.
ACCORDED A HIGH POSITION
- I
Women of Servia, Well Educated and
Able, Are Companions of Their
Husbands and Brothers.
There is no country in the world
where women occupy a more dignified
position in the home than Servia. The
Servian idea is quite different from
that of the Turk, who keeps his wom
en behind shut doors or the German,
whose ideal woman is a hausfrau. In
Servia the woman is the companion of
the man.
A man is responsible for his un
married sisters, and throughout the
Balkan states It is considered rather
a breach of etiquette for him to mar
ry before his older sister
Xo Servian gi-1 would feel she could
hold up her head in society unless
she could speak four languages. There
! is hardly a Servian woman who can
not play some musical instrument.
Embroidery, painting, drawing, and
sculpture are all studied. Politics is
a popular feature among women.
Servian women are very domesticat
ed and the highest ladies pay personal
attention to trivial matters of house
keeping.
There are two women doctors prac
ticing in Belgrade, and several wom
en teachers. But public opinion, on
the whole, is rather against women
entering the labor arena.
Jekyll and Hyde Both Out.
One day Mr. Jenkins, senior part
her in the firm, came out of his pri
vate office and handed Jimmy, the of
fice boy, a slip of paper and said:
"Here, Jimmy, go over to the pub
lic library and get me ‘Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde.’ I have written it on a
piece of paper for you so that you will
not forget.”
Jimmy lost the slip of paper on the
way. When he discovered his loss
he returned to the office without go
ing to the library and was seated at
his little desk innocently shooting flies
with a rubber band when Mr. Jenkins
said to him:
"Well, Jimmy, where's ‘Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde?”’
"Please, Mr. Jenkins,” responded
Jimmy with well feigned candor, “the
lady at the library said they both just
went to the ball game and to call for
them in the morning.”
Old Town Again in Limelight.
Stockweil, England, where a hidden
church over 600 years old has just
been discovered, has hitherto been
chiefly famous for its ghost, which set
all London in an uproar in 1772. Mak
ing the furniture dance and Che crock
ery fall was the ghost’s specialty,
though by way of variety an egg once
flew across the room and hit the cat
Having excited London and frightened
Stockweil, the ghost retired, leaving
behind a firm belief in his supernatural
origin, until many years later a serv
ant admitted that long horse hairs at
tached to the crockery and wires to
he furniture had enabled her to play
the ghost so successfully that frighten
ed beholders never even detected such
open feats as throwing the egg at the
cat
La Grande Passion.
“Une grande passion est une
grande folie. Mediocrity in all things
is wisdom; mediocrity in sensations is
superlative wisdom. ... No young
lady should tail in love till the offer
has been made, accepted, the marriage
ceremony performed, and the first half
year of married life has passed away.
A woman may then begin to love, but
with very great precaution—very tool
1 ly, very moderately, very rationally.
If ever she loves so much that -
harsh word or a cool look cuts her to
the heart, she is a fool. If she ever
loves so much that her husband's will
is her law, and that she has got into
the habit of w-atching his look in or
der that she may anticipate his
wishes, she will soon be a neglected
fool."—Charlotte Bronte.

Rube (.e(s Kven With Naps
Unix- Robinson, whom New
port Ians have followed with un
I aultering interest and pride
throughout tin* season in the Na
tional league, because our city
introduced him to the baseball
world, was a bit unlucky the
oilier day and lost his game to
the Naps of the American
League in the post season series
with Pittsburg.
While it was not Rube's fault,
he had his revenge just the same
and in the fifth game of the se
ries Sunday, let the Cleveland
club down with 3 hits, which he
scattered so well, that no runs
were made. Rube is conceded
by the sporting writers to be
Clarke's best left-hander and had
Pittsburg been contending for
world honors, instead of New
York, Athletic sentiment would
not have been so predominant,
in Newport at least.

From “Old Siwaah."
“We are more frivolous In our col
lege life than In our business," Georg®
Fitch said. “Still, college life haa
made business what It is. Fraterni
ties are a clearinghouse for ability and
ambition."—Kansas City Star.
