STATF 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
our 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 h.-is friends, we obtained a card
to a very select country club in an
, eastern state, where we stayed ten
days. The club had golfitis in its
most acute form. The men rnd 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
in a delicate and polite way that the
whole thing bored us to extinction.
When we respectfully declined to en
gage in the game or borrow any &:
the implements connected with the
sport there was great surprise. Our
assertion that we did not play the
game and did not wish to was receiv
ed with 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
ropee. At the end of a week his ex
istence had been forgotten. As a
curiosity he had been crowded out of
place by the “eccentric” Kansan who
sat around reading the reports of the
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
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 Servta. 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 th«
Balkan states it is considered rather
a breach of etiquettes for him to map
ry before his older sister.
No Servian girl would feel she could
hold up her head in society unless
she could speak four languages. Thera
is hardly a Servian woman who can
not play some musical Instrument.
Embroidery, painting, drawing, and
sculpture are all studied. Politics Is
& 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
Uo library and get me ‘Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde.’ I have written It on a
piece of paper for yon so that you will
not forget.”
Jimmy lost the slip of paper on the
way. When he discovered his loss
he returned to the ofllee 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. HydeT* ”
“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.
Stockwell, England, where a hidden
church over 600 years old has just
been discovered, haB hitherto been
chiefly famous for its ghost, which set
all Loudon 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
Stockwell, 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>
iched to the crockery and wires to
he furniture had enabled her to play
.he ghost so successfully that frighten
ed beholders never evon detected such
open feats as throwing the egg at the
cat
La Qrands Passion.
"tine grande passion est une
grande folie. Mediocrity in all things
Is wisdom; mediocrity in sensations Is
superlative wisdom. . . , No young
lady should fall In love till the offer
has been made, accepted, the marriage
ceremony performed, and the first half
year ef married life has passed away.
A woman may then begin to love, but
with very great precaution—very cool
ly, very moderately, vary rationally.
If ever she loves so much that -.
harsh word or a oool look cuts her to
the heart, she Is a fool. It she ever
loves ao much that her husband's will
la her law, and that she has got Into
the habit of watching his look in or
der that she may anticipate hie
wishes, she will so m be a neglected
fool.** —Charlotte Bronte,

TYPICAL DINNER IN FRANCE
! Princess Hassan TeUs of a 'fieai *n«J
Its Service in the Land of
True Epicures.
: -
A typical French dinner—not an
exceptional one. mark .you, but. such
a dinner as a small tradesman's fun
ily would have—is .ncomparably su
perior to the plain roast dinner
There would be. first of alt, a few
relishes, according to the season of
the year. Radishes, ice cold, sardines,
olives, saviaiwJust a little of each
with which ti^^jyaken the appetite,
then the soup to excite gectl7 thA
tiquida of the throat and stomach,
then a little entree—usually a bit of
fish with its appropriate vegetable,
or a handful of vegetables Savored
with meat sauce. Then, and not till
then, does the chief course appear.
It may be a roast, or game, or
chicken, or chops, but in no case will
It be anything which is not In har
mony with the previous courses and It
will be eaten In moderation, for the
edge of the diner's appetite will have
been dulled by the lighter foods which
have preceded It. With It comes the
salad—varied throughout the year by
all the possible changes of the sea
son, and never, never by any possi
bility will tt be such a dreadful green
hybrid as the romaine, strawberry
and green pepper thing. After the
salad there will he fruit or mellow
! cheese, and then coffee. It will take
two hours to eat such a dinner, but tt
will take only half what the typical
American dinner costs to pay for it,
and there will be no Indigestion aft
erward, no matter of what the din
ner Is composed.—Princess Hassan in
an Interview by Louise Rice tn the
; Delineator.
; GIVE THIS A LITTLE THOUGHT
—
There <s a Point to This Importe*
Joke, But Perhaps You Will Have
To Look for It.
This Is not an American Joke. Th«
reader is solemnly warned that It
lo ul uermaa eiirauuun. ueruiaun,
as everybody knows, like their Jests
broad and brutal. The victim of this
one was Cousin, Hugo.
[t seems Cousin Hugo made a night
of It and got home as the small hours
began to cease to be so small. An
he climbed the stairs he stumbled (In
spite of the most elaborate care) and
rolled down Into the hall below. The
consequence, for Cousin Hugo Is not
so young as he used to be, was a brok
en collarbone and a strained back.
Ahead even of the milkman, then,
came the family doctor, an estimable
old gentleman, and adi ainistered
soothing words while he encased the
patient In plaster.
"I know, my dear sir,” he said, “that
It hurts like the deuce, but It Is not
a bit dangerous. All the same you’ll
have to stay in bed for a while. You
, got a nasty fall. How did It happen)
Was it dark?”
“It was not, doctor,” replied Cousin
Hugo with some asperity, "It was
light.”
But perhaps 70U are not a beer
drinker.—New York Evening Post.
Curing Wood.
Wood has contagious diseases! A
stick of wood In a lumber yard may be
sick and infect other timbers, which
later may develop the disease when
they are supporting weights la a new
building. Some of the diseases are se
contagious that In a building they will
Jump several feet across masonry or
brick to some stick of healthy wood.
Cures were recently discussed by the
American Society of Mechanical En
gineers.
Most of the diseases are varieties ot
dry rot caused by a f ,ngus, and most
of the varieties of dry rot fungus earn
not stand heat much over 100 degrees;
so the most likely cure is to close s
building up tight, If any beams are In
fected, and heat It up to 120 or 140 de
grees. Even this Is not always sue
easeful, for ends of beams are burled
In the outer brick walls and the heat
may not reach them.—Saturday Eve
nlng Post.
Says Ants Do Not Co-Operate.
M. Cornetz, a practised observer of
insect life, asserts that ants know
nothing of co-operation in their social
Ufe. In proof he cites an experiment
which any one can repeat. Offer an
ant a piece of cheese shaped like •
shuttle; it seizes the tip, turns It
about and starts dragging it In the di
rection of Its nest. Other ants arrive
and seize the cheese by its sides. It
continues to advance, but more slowly.
There is no united effort; each ant
Is trying to turn the crumb of cheese
around. If we chase off the ants on
the right the cheeBe will turn to th<
right, for the other ants are pushing
it Chase off those on the left and il
turns to the left for the same reason.
Chase off the one that la pulling It and
It stands still, for the ants on each siQ«
counteract each other.
M. Cornets holds this a proof that
each ant la acting (or himself alone.
