Crow "Helped" In Golf Gam&
An unusual golf story comes from
Scotland. Mrs. B«irnett, an American
lady living a: North Berwick, while
playing on the cuurae recently, had
her gams considerably Interfered with
by a persistently lnqulBltive crow. She
had Just made a tee shot when the
crow secured the ball, and, after flying
with it for some distance, dropped it
The lady made two other abuts, and
the crow, to her amazement, twice re*
turned and lifted tho bail after she
had played It
in Praise of Courage,
Certain virtues are divided from
Tices by so narrow a line that we must
discern very clearly to see the differ
ence. Few men can distinguish pride
from vanity; perseverance from stub,
tiornneas; economy from avarice. The
same Is true of courage as distin
guished from effrontery. The courag*
feoua man must have ambition, not
merely dream of what he would like
to have. The audacious have been
found fault with for their brutality in
overcoming all obstacles—but force is
necessary to accomplish any real pm*
pose.- Chicago American.
