An Old Caddie's Rotort. lie is tin old caddie on an east const i course, and being a noted tlguro on the ' links ho endeavors as far as possible ' to caddio only for thoroughly elllclent trolfers. Occasionally, however, lie finds himself accompanying a "foozlcr." and on these occasions his dignity Is In jured. I Ono day recently he found himself caddylng to an old gentleman who was out. clearly, more for exorcise j than for tho love of the game and who was playing shocking golf. By the time the twelfth hole was reached he had been In most of the bunkers en route and had succeeded In breaking n club. "I think I shall give up Mils hole.' ho reninrked at last to his Indignant caddie. "Xa, na." re torted the old worthy bitterly: "feen Mi the course, sir feenlsli the course.

Giving up the property, ho grim ly trudged seven miles to his home. Probably his family noticed that he had a grouch too. Considered In the calm, clear, cold light of puro reason, the gentleman succeeded In proving himself a near relative to a California canary otherwise known as a donkey. Had he won the bet tho result would have been pretty much tho same, for belting Is not argument, evidence or proof of anything. It adds no force, power or dignity to any opinion or set of opinions. It Is merely the outpour ing of tho gambling spirit, and that Is a spirit that has led ninny a ninn to utter beggary who might linvo adorned a homo and ornamented a community. Detroit Free Press.

A Merciful Farmer. A young lady from the city was go lug one summer to mako her first visit to a cousin In the country.

In one of tlio brond fields Mint met the young lady's attentlvo eye stood a windmill, nnd gathered around It, somo standing nnd somo reclining, were several hogs. "Well, that beats anything I ever heard of!" exclaimed tho fair ono. "I didn't know that you farmers were so considerate." "What does?" queried tho country cousin.

Recently he cnino Into the olllco to chnt awhile, and wo noticed Mint he limped. "Corn?" was asked sympathetically. "Xope accident," he answered, ns answers one who doesn't care to talk about something. That aroused our curoslty, and wo couldn't help showing It, probably, for he sighed and con fessed: "I wns rldln' through the park Mon day, and I was just rldln' along and rldln' along and not thlnkln' of any thing in particular, and my foot slip ped out of tho stirrup." "Well?" "Well, the dnrn horso stepped on It!" Cleveland Plain Dealer. Courage of Despair. Professor McCoy of Melbourne uni versity in n book about snake experi ments tells a strange, story Illustrating tlio' courage of despair. Putting a mouse Into n box that contained one of his captive cobras, ho watched the reptile glide slowly toward it. Tho mouse shrank terrified Into a comer, and then when the cobra's tlattened head was within an Inch of It It tmrnug Into the air and alighted on the back or the neck of Its foe. It sat there and clinched Its sharp little teeth in the rentllo's Mesh. The colirn mulil nnt- sbake It off, and it bit deeper and deep er until the cobra lay dead. Dirigible Balloons. The dirigible balloon Is by no means a modem Invention, ns many people seem to think. As a mnttor of fact, as long ago as 1781 General Meusnler pro posed the construction of an elongated bnlloon which might bo propelled through the air. Experiments were made with It by two brothers nnnied Robert, who made several ascents nnd attained n speed of three miles an hour, though tho method of propulsion was only aerial oars worked by hand. Nothing further wns attempted until 1S.'2, when Henri GIITard built dirigi bles which, by melius of a light steam engliio, he propelled at nearly seven miles an hour, and since then various experiments Lave been mnde which ill Minutely ended In the wonderful tri umph of Xeppellu.
