In try- ing to make a very long brassie shot, Twain tore up considerable turf and a chunk of dirt hit him squarely in the face. The Englishman he was playing with, seeking to relieve the embarrassment of his guest, re- marked: “By the way, Mr. Twain, how do you like our course?” “Fine,” said Twain. “I think it is the best I have ever tasted."—From “Golf Yarns,” by H.

Donovan, | \ | Found New Way to Obtain Credit. | A new way of establishing a line of credit is told by the Horton Headlight. “A man wenttinto a Horton store and said he owed a bill of 82 for goods I‘ bought several years before. The | storekeeper failed to find the account on his books, but as the man insisted he owed the money, the merchant ac- cepted it. Tlec invited the man to run | a bill again, which he did.

The worst place in the world to fine solitude is the country; guestions grow there, and that unpleasant Chris- tian commodity, neighbors.” You must yourself have belonged to “country” folk to feel the truth of that last shaft.

An epigram must pass many hands and get much polishing before it is a perfect jewel. You may remember how Oscar Wilde sent (on the stage) the man of the world through the drawing room door with the epigram. “There is ome thing I never could resist; that is tempta- tion.” But you may traee it from the Garden of Eden, where the masculine plea for mercy was that the “woman tempted me.” Gdors Easily Discovered.
