CHAFF FROM T1IE STRAW STACK

Some men wear themselves out
looking for an easy job
Don' t woriy over your mistakes.
Plenty of other people will do that for
you.
A New Jersey man found $475 in
an old blacksmith's bellows that had
laid in fiis garret for 52 years, i The
original owner evidently intended to
blow it in.

When everything was still:

Came in and paid his bill.
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

"Our little boy had eczema for five
years," writes N. A. Adams, Henrietta
Pa. "Two of our home doctors said
the case was hopeless, his lungs being
affected. We then employed other
doctors but no benefit resulted. By
chance we read about Electric Bitters;
bought a bottle and soon noticed Im
provement. We continued this medi
cine until several bottles were used,
when our boy was completely cured."

FREAKS OF GOLF BALLS.
Have Killed Birch on the Wing and
Cauccd a Sheep to Drop Dead.
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

its slaughtered victim. 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

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.
