A distinguished writer once said: '-'There is but one place In the Bible where 'the girls are commanded to kiss the men, and that is the Golden Rule, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you. do ye even so to them." Have you noticed when you meet a doctor he says" How are you?" a news paper man inquires, "What do you know?" But a lawyer hits you on the back and ejaculates, "What have you got?" and the preacher asks, ,'Where are you going?" A man who prefers the city weekly to a home paper because ' "it's got more In it," reminds us of a man who picked out the largest pair of boots in the box because they cost no more than a pair that fitted him, says an ex change.

It does net often, happen that a bird falls a victim to a golf ball in its flight, although such a mishap has occurred in two' or three in stances, says London Tit-Bits. Not long ago on incident of this kind was reported from Raynes Park Golf club. It took place' in the course of a bogie competition. One of the players, a Mr. Crocker, having driven off at the eleventh tee, his ball created some astonish ment by coming in contact with a lark in midair and literally knocking off its head. . A Bimilar incident happened last season but one on the ground of the Birkdale club. Two members were playing a round when one of them made a brassie shot. The ball was in full flight when a bird of the wagtail species was seen crossing the line of flight, and the next moment both objects came into collision at a distance of about forty paces from the striker. The consequences were fatal to the unfortunate bird, which was not only killed, but decapitated. As for the golf ball, its flight was stopped by the impact, the ball falling to the ground within a few yards of wm Mwwf ffH mmmi wmMsmwiiijrmKJm Wk v,yiiwwiimiw.wwww fry !. GOODS- n L i .P.

The incident had the further object of losing the player the match, he having to make an extra Btroke or two to cover the distance short covered, thus costing him the game. A still more extraordinary freak of a golf ball resulted in a tragedy on the Balcomio links in Scotland. In the course of a match one of the players, in his drive from the 6ixth tee, put so much vigor iuto it that the ball struck a sheep on the head with such force as to cause it to fall dead on the spot. A very different, but no less in teresting, story was reported from another link in Scotland about the 6ame time. In a foursome match, played at North Berwick, one of the golfers drove his ball against a wall, It rebounded into some rough ?rasH and for a fev minutes could not be traced, but ultimately the caddie found the hall lying in a lark's nest, in which were four eggs all un broken. For a ball to drop into a nest of eggs without breaking any was surety an extraordinary occur rence. It is not long since a player at Woking in approaching the hole landed a ball on the top of the clubhouse. This little incident did not, however, upset his equilibrium Tcry jnuch. As nimbly as he could OREGON .OREGON he followed tho ball to the roof and from that coign of disadvantage played it so well that he was suc cessful in securing a half of a hole which everybody considered irre trievably lost, A similar scene was once wit nessed on the St. Andrews links in tho course of a three ball match. One of the players happened to drive nis ball on to the corrugated iron roof of a shed and, in the belief that he had consequently given up the hole, the other two calmly pro ceeded witli the match. But they had reckoned without their host, for the next moment there was a great clatter of feet on the iron roof. Barely had the warning cry of "fore" reached the players' ear's when' a ball whizzed on to the course close by. It was that of the other player, who had mounted to the roof and played it from that unex pected corner.
