Dickover tells solemnly of the crows

Members of the Mlko, the consul as

that some of the astute Nlponese cud

called a working agreement with the
crows, by which the balls are traded
for food, says a Washington letter in
the Philadelphia Public Ledger. At

count for tbe large number of balls the
caddies offer for sale.
Consul Dickover says that there are
four good golf courses In the vicinity
of Kobe, and one Is perched on Mount
Rokko, 2,500 feet above sea level, and
la regarded aa exceedingly sporty, par
ticularly because of the hazard en
countered In getting to the course.

P. Aamaury Talbot, who had an op
portunity to learn something about two
of the beat-known Leopurd societies,
lias thia to say In Adventure Maga
zine about the Sierra Leone branch:
“Members of this society can often
be recognized at sight, as many of
them have the sharply protruding fore
head, caused by pressure applied In
Infancy by their mothers.
"When the society wishes to kill a
man certain members are chosen for
the deed. These are armed with a set
of Iron Instruments fastened Inside
both hands, and they track their vic
tim until they come upon him In a
lonely part of the bush. They watch
their opportunity, suddenly spring
upon him from behind and seise him
by the throat. Should the body ever
be discovered, the marks upon It so ex
actly resemble those made by leopard
claws that the death Is put down to
those beasts.”

Store Wrecked by Autos 40 Timas.
There Is a corner drug store In
Faris close to the terminus of the
Northern railroad which possesses an
Irresistible attraction for motor-driven
vehicles. Placed Just below the meet

streets, It has been wrecked forty
times In the last thirteen years. Three
months ago a motorcyclist drove
through its glass front and died on
(he spot. A few days later a motor
lorry crashed through Into the middle
pf the shop without causing any fatali
ties. Recently a taxicab went right
through the store, breaking the large
red-colored globes that still mark a
drug store In France, overturning the
counter and doing about $1,500 worth
of damage to the atock. The proprie
tor of the store complains that these
fepeated mishaps are ruining his busl-
