BEIIING J GOLf
Enthusiast Gives Up a Little Dis
sertation.
Effect of Lecture, However, Is Some
what Spoiled by Admission Which
Is Made in the Concluding
Paragraph.
By WALTER PRICHARD EATON.
Man is a betting animal. Apparently
betting is a. deep-rooted instinct, for
jnanv men have been known to bet who
were never taught that it is wrong.
When a New Englander bets, of course,
It is easy to understand, for he has
been taught from childhood that gam
bling is the eighth deadly sin, which
naturally makes it attractive. (It is a
high tribute to the ethical ingenuity
of the Puritan mind that the grab bag
at the church fair has always been ex
empt.) We can well remember our own
thrill of wickedness when, at the age
of twelve, we wngered a dollar on the
Harvard football team. Our satisfac
tion was somewhat diminished after
the game, for that was before the days
of Charlie Briclcley.
Many men bet, however, without
even the Incentive of committing a sin.
They bet when they haven't the slight
est pleasant twinge of conscience.
They bet not even to make money, but
Just for the sake of betting. They bet
on a ball game, a horse race, the day’s
run of a steamer—on anything which
has the element of chance about it. We
once knew of an automobile party who
made a pool on the number of Ford
cars they would meet in a day—and
they missed all the scenery they were
touring to enjoy.
But nowhere is betting carried to
such an extreme at the present time
as on the golf links. Serious writers
(and most golf writers are very seri
ous) have called it "the menace of the
game." A certain well-known club near
New York, which has many members
from Wall street, has been forced to
adopt a rule against it, whether from
ethical grounds or because the four
somes delayed play by reckoning up
their complicated accounts on the
greens, we cannot say. It has been
stated that sums as high as $0,000 used
to be wagered on a single game, even a
single shot. Fancy facing a water
carry of 160 yards with $6,000 depend
ing on your stroke! Would you press,
or wouldn't you? It is bad enough for
some of us to know that the price of
the ball depends on that stroke!
We were playing the ojf er day in a
foursome, which deservdd the name
r .... ■■■ .
> the old judge used in Barrie’s play, "i
i fearsome,” Two of the players wen
brokers. Between holes they talke*
stocks. On the teps, they laid bets.
‘‘Give me a stroke on this hole, foi
five balls?” one would say to the other
"You're on.”
i If one or the other got into troubk
I and saw he had no chance, he picked
up without more to-do, and began tc
plan how ho could win something back
on the next hole. The pair ended thf
match with one owing the other a gin
ger ale, and their scores were so bad
that we will not mention them.
The funny part of it all was that
both of them really fancied they had
been playing golf, and they actually
had enjoyed themselves. Now of
course they hadn’t been playing golf
any moro than the man who pokes
around "because it keeps him out in
the open air" or "gives him exercise.”
There is only one valid reason for play
ing golf, or any other real game—and
that is, a desire to solve as far as
possiblo the problems of that game,
and match your muscular control and
skill against the control and skill of
another. The man who picks up in
a bunker because he sees he can't!
win a bet by playing out hasn’t the
first faint spark of g<fif understanding1
in his soul. He is not a golfer, he is,
a gambler. The real golfer plays out,1
not because he has any chance of win-!
ning that hole, but because every shot^
is practice, and the game demands of;
its true disciples a completed card.1
The more betters you have in your;
club, the fewer first-class players wllh
you have.
We had intended here to add some
thing about the bad effect betting has
on the caddies, but wo haven't time.'
We’ve got to hurry down to the links
and play off a match with an old ad-!
veraary, fr.r a ball a hole.

Saloniki the Metropolis
Of Balkan Commerce
j t—--------A
IFrom the London Times.
"They came to Thessaloniea, where was
a synagog of the Jews. And Paul, as his
manner was, went In unto them, and
three Sabbath days reasoned with them
out of tho scriptures."
So the author of the Acts of the Apos
tles informs us, and adds that St. Paul's
stay at Thessaloniea was troublous and
t untimely terminated. That the apostle's
labors were nevertheless not unfruitful,
the epistles to tho Thessalonians exist to
testify. Much is the first appearance of
i Salonikl In the history of tho world,
j Even In 8t. Paul’s day it was already
j three centuries old and a place of im
j portance. The Romans, who organized
the Balkan peninsula better than any
of its owners before or since, drove a
road across from west to east, uniting
Durazzo on the Adriatic with Salonikl
on the Aegean. From that time onward
Salonikl has been the great depot of
Balkan commerce. You need little ac
quaintance with the Balkans to under
stand the causes of this preeminence.
Between Constantinople and the Piraeus
there Is no harbor which could be a
rival. Salonikl stands close to one of
the most fertile districts of the Balkans,
the tobacco country about Drama and
Serres.
Focus of Balkan Railways.
It possesses natural lines of communi
cation up the radiating valleys of the
Struma, the Vardar and its tributaries
to the heart of the peninsula. Once a
focus of highways, It Is now a focus of
railways. One, having tapped the to
bacco country nnd tho valley of the Stru
ma, runs along the coast to Constanti
nople. Another, of supreme Importance
in this war, passed up the Vardar valley
to Nish nnd Belgrade, and thus forms
the main artery of Serbia’s strength. A
third penetrates Into Macedonia as far
as Monastic.
But It Is primarily upon Its harbor
that the Importance of Salonikl de
pends. Your steamer, passing out of the
Aegean, enters a ~ulf some 50 miles
wide. Slowly the land approaches on
either bow, and you see to starboard a
green, wooded, undulating country, with
a host of windmills rising on the sky
line, In evidence of Its fertility. This is
the historic peninsula of Chalcidlce.
To port rise the mountains of Thes
saly, first Pelion, then Ossa, and at the
head of the gulf a great mass, snow
capped, piercing the clouds, lofty Olym
pus Itself, tho home of the Immortal
gods.
Among Groves of Cypresses.
Salonikl rises before you In a half cir
cle, a white city, studded with minaret
nnd dome, gleaming In a singularly lu
cid air, its whiteness all the more reful
gent for the dark groves of cypress set
here and there among the houses. At the
end of so deep an inlet anchorage is nat
urally good, but in tho last years of t' e
Nineteenth century great harbors works
were constructed. The modern port is a
parallelogram protected by a breakwa
ter 600 yards long, nnd two piers of 200
yards each.
ECONOMIZING IN SERVANTS
(Copyright, 1915, bv the McClure News
paper Syndicate).
As far as our own comfort Is con
cerned, most of us are not much af
fected by the groat European war.
Now and then we find thut it touches
'!s—-imported luces, for instance are
harder to get than they used to be, and
household linen is more expensive.
Then, too, the best class of butlers,
footmen and chauffeurs have left for
Europe—butlers and footmen, anyway,
but perhaps the American chauffeurs
left are the equals of the foreign ones
vho have gone. For running an auto
mobile is a job that American men
Mke.
Whether or not we keep a butler
and footman, tile servant problem is
constantly growing more complicated.
In many industrial towns, the women
servants leave domestic service to work
in the factories. Wages demanded are
higher—and going higher still. In
some places servants are voicing defi
nite demands in the way of hours,
rates of pay, and the kind of work they
will do.
There is no reason why servants
should not demand better treatment
than they have been used to rcelv
ing, and higher wages, too, for that
matter. Hut the whole situation makes
a difficulty for the woman who has
only a small allowance for domestic
service. She cannot afford a really ex
perienced servant, often she cannot
get a "green" one because the unskilled
worker goes to the factory. What is
she to do?
Usually she longs for the time when
cooperative housekeeping shall have
been developed to such an extent that
all she will need to do will be to push
a button when she wants dinner put
on the table—and dinnor will marvel
ously appear from some wonderfully
efficient central kitchen. She knows
this time is fur away—but she longs
for it, just the same. In the meantime,
when the servant leaves, she tries to
give both babies a bath, their supper,
put them to bed, get dinner, chunge
her frock, answer the telephone, receive
a caller, and be in a charmingly agree
able state of mind and appearance when
her tired husband comes home.
It can't be done, of course.
Now even in this day it is quite pos
sible to economize in servants. It is
possible, very often, to hire a servant
with the understanding that she is to
work for several families. For Instance
a very competent nurse maid, com
manding a highly competent nurse
maid’s salary, might be hired with the
understanding that every afternoon
she should take charge of the children
of three or four families. Her salary,
divided by four, would be quite small,
and the housekeeper who gave her
board and lodging would be entitled to
her services outside the hours when
stie took charge of the neighborhood
children.
Then, too, often two or three famil
ies could divide up the services of a
general housework maid. Of course,
she could be asked to do only as much
work as she would normally do for one
family. Hut she could give an hour to
each of three, dusting, making beds,
brushing rugs with a carpet sweeper
and dusting floors with a dustlcss mop
every morning. In the afternoon she
could divide her time preparing dinner
in the three houses, perhaps, or being
on duty to receive callers and servo
tea. Of course, the willingness of the
servant In question would have to be
obtained. And each housekeeper would
still have to do much of the work In
her own home—in the arrangement
suggested, she would have to get
breakfast and luncheon, for instnnee,
and sSrve dinner without a maid. Oth
er arrangements, of course, could be
worked out. And the maid ought to
find this sort of specialized work more
higher than usual, too, for divided
one house.
Farm That Waa Made to Pay.
From the U. S. Agriculture Bulletin.
A significant Instance of what proper
methods of farm management can ac
complish is afforded by a certain 500
acre farm in central Michigan. For 10
rears thie farm failed to pay Interest
The quays are of great width, and,
thanks to the enterprise of a British con
sul general, paved and drained with a
perfection rare In the Levant. They are
lined with large modern buildings, and be
hind, the streets, wider thgn Is usual In
the east, climb, by natural ravines, to the
old citadel of the Seven Towers. The
houses are. In great part, wooden and di
lapidated, but among them you find mag»
niflcent relics of the past, here a massive
Roman arch, there a solemn and stately
Byzantine church, with round arches on
marble columns, crowned by rich mo
saic. Norman and Saracen, and Venetian,
too, have left their mark on the streets of
Thessalonlea, and the modern quarter,
with Its banks and Its warehouses, and
Its electric trams, Is oddly placed beside
this medley of the past.
Home of Many Races.
The population, too, seems to the strang
er a tableau vlvant of the confused,
eventful history of the city. There Is no
place in Europe where you may see a
greater variety of race, richer confusion
of picturesque costume. As in St. Paul's
day, Salonlkl has many Jewish inhabi
tants— 80,000, perhaps, out of a total of
160,000 profess Hebrew faith. But they are
Jews who wear the gaberdine or the robes
of the Fifteenth century, Jews who In this
Greek city speak a dialect of Spanish.
They are the descendants of a colony
who fled the tortures of the Inquisition
In Spain and Portugal to the gentler rule
of the Turk. Among them you find Al
banians in their kilted costume, sturdy
squat Bulgarians, Armenians and, after
the Jews, the most numerous, busy
Greeks. Some 40,000 of the population are
Greek In blood and feeling, a number
vastly greater than that of any other Bal
kan element In the city.
In the settlement after the recent Bal
kan wars Greece had this claim to Salon
lkl, besides the right of possession. It
will he remembered that by an extraor
dinarily rapid advance the Greek army
obtained possession of the city just In time
to turn back the udvance guard of the
Bulgarians.
Its Strategic Value Great.
This event, It Is understood, caused dis
may not only at Sofia, but at Vienna,
which had long contemplated Salonlkl
with a covetousness hardly concealed. The
Young Turks also were at least as much
concerned for the loss of Salonikl as for
any other of their disasters. Salonlkl and
Its secret societies were the hotbed in
which the Young Turk revolution was
forced into Us unhealthy life, and Enver
and his friends have a peculiar Interest
In the place.
Besides Its commercial Importance, Sa
lonlkl has great strategic value. No oth
er port In the Aegean, except, of course,
the Piraeus, offers facilities for landing
troops which can be compared to those
on the quays of Salonlkl. Its climate Is
singularly healthy, and against any at
tack from land the town Is defended by a
great chain of lakes.
on the capital invested. One year after
the owners had been induced to make
certain radical changes the farm paid
all the expenses of operation and re
turned them G per cent on an invest
ment of $6,000. The changes which
accomplished this financial revolution
were as follows:
(1) Four-horse machinery was sub
stituted for two-horse.
(2) The unprofitable cows In the
dairy herd were weeded out and sold
and the money received for them in
vested in better stock.
(3) A silo was built.
(4) The foreman was allowed, in ad
dition to his salary, 10 per cent of the
net income from the farm. The ex
penses of operating the farm, but not
the interest on the capital, were de
ducted from the Income before the fore
man received his percentage.
It was this last suggestion which met
with the most opposition from the own
ers of the farm, but when it was
pointed out to them that for every
dollar the foreman got under such an
arrangemen they would get $9 they
yielded.
The Fighting Bulgar.
From the London Daily Sketch.
The Bulgar as a fighting man ranks
high in the soldiery of Europe. Tall, yet
compactly built, Inured by out door life to ,
all changes of climate he can probably
face a winter’s campaign better than any I
soldier in Europe. He Is well disciplined
and obedient to his officers.
The Bulgar infantry simply love a bay
onet charge. They strip themselves of
equipment, even tunics, and, shouting
"Nanosh!" (“the knife”) leap upon the
enemy. The Bulgars are happy then.
In the last war the Bulgarian artillery
was not good. The biggest guns were nine
inch Krupps and some of the six-inch to
eight-inch Creusots at the siege of Adrian
opel were 20 years old.
The cavalry, as I knew it, was Inferior.
There were few horses. Mostly small
ponies were used, and these not of the
best and not well handled. Their riders
would work them to exhaustion and leave
them to die by the wayside. I have seen
roads strewn for miles with spent ponies,
which expired in the most terrible circum
stances.
The Bulgarian soldier costs little to feed.
Generally be eats a soup mode of mut
ton, with an enormous proportion of fat,
and seasoned with quantities of red pep
per. Another menu is sour milk and black
bread.
He can Invariably cook bis own food.
An officer will live well on 80 centimes a
day.
The Bulgar in war is well supported by
his ■womenfolk. The wife never sheds a
tear, for she rarely cries. She is as Spar
tan as he.
In the last year there was practically no
work to whicli women did not turn their
hands. When a statlonmaster joined the
colors his wife donned uniform and quiet- I
ly took control of the station, and things i
wont on smoothly.
During the year ondng last July 808
persons in the United Kingdom were
sentenced to penal servitude, against
S81 in the previous year.

EVACUATION OF GREAT
CITY GIGANTIC TASK
Petrograd, (by mail.)—The evacua
tion of the large cities that Russia has
abandoned to the Germans is a task the
Immensity of which may be Judged
from figures now available concerning
the par'ial evacuation of Riga. The
population of Riga has not been
seriously disturbed, the city having
about as many inhabitants as at the
beginning of the war, since many refu
gees have gathered there from the Bal
tic districts occupied by the Germans,
but 400 factories, of which 80 belong
to German subjects, have been trans
planted to interior provinces. Dtiring
the evacuation period from 150 to 200
loaded cars were dispatched daily, and
in all 24,000 carloads of machinery,
metals and raw materials were shipped
out of Riga. The work continued for
two months.
Factory owners have received com
pensation from the government treas
ury for the cost of removal and most of
the skilled workers of the factories
have accompanied the employers to the
new locations.
PAULINE’S WISHES.
/Copyright, 1915, by the McClure News
paper Syndicate).
Pauline Clare was home for a holiday
and it was raining. It v.as bad
enough to have rain at boarding
school, when one was at lessons, but
to have it when there was so much fun
to be had was something too trying on
the nerves.
So Polly sat in the big chair before
the library grate fire and sulked. Bev
erly was off at a boy scout meeting.
Mamma was taking a nap. Mary was
busy with mince pies in the kitchen,
and the house was as still as a mouse.
Not a sound but the tick, tock of the
big clock in the corner of the hall and
the drip, drip, drip of the water run
ning down the pane.
She threw her coat on the back of
her chair, but the red tarn o’shanter
cap she still kept on her brown curls.
As she leaned back she felt the woolen
tassel flop in her face.
"If this were only a wishing cap,”
she laughed, "I would pretty soon iix
things all right. I would never have
any rain or snow, and the weather
would always be pleasant and sunny,
with no wind at all.”
"It is a wishing cap,” she seemed to
hear a voice say out of the shadows of
the big room.
“My, what was that?” she exclaimed.
"Sounded like someone spoke. It can't
be a wishing cap, when it is the red
woolen one dad gave me last year.”
"Just try it once,” came again a
voice out of the gloom.
“All right,” laughed Pauline. “Here
goes—I wish it would stop raining and
turn warm, and the flowers would
come out and the trees bo full of
leaves and it would be summer again,”
Before she had ceased to speak a
wonderful change took place. The rain
ceased, the sun came out hot, the
flowers sprang up in the yard as if by
magic, and the trees were green in tho
sunny air. But the people going by
with their winter clothing on began to
grow faint with the unusual heat. Tho
house, which was heated by a furnace,
was so warm that every one left it ex
cept Pauline, who was too busy to
think about her own feelings.
A farmer passing down the street
stopped by the window, and Pauline
heard him talking to a friend about
the weather. "I can’t imagine what is
the matter," he exclaimed. “This sud
den July in January will ruin the coun
try—our crops will sprout, the wheat
will die. the fruits will be frosted by
the next .change. We were having a
nice soaking rain when this happened.
We don’t need hot weather, but a good
fall of snow to help the crops.”
Pauline had begun herself to see
that she had made a mistake in bring
ing summer so suddenly into winter.
People who were dressed for the cold
weather were suffering; so were tho
farmers and everything else with the I
heat.
“1 believe I would like to go skating
this afternoon.” Pauline said, aloud.
“So I wish it would freeze and freeze
everything hard as a rock.”
In a moment a violent change was
seen. People who had been panting in
the street began to shiver and tremble
with the cold; tho furnaces, which had
been allowed to cool, were rushed with
fire and the cold houses shut. The
flowers froze, turned black and drop
ped from their stems and the trees
shed their wilted leaves.
Down the street came the same
farmer who had passed before, and
again he spoke to his friend about the
weather.
"Here it has frozen up, and Just
after that hot spell brought up the
wheat and made the fruit trees bloom,”
cried the farmer. "First it is hot as
summer and the trees, flowers, and
fruits come out; then it is as cold as
the pole and they freeze—that means
that the nation must starve next year.
There will be nothing to eat. Our
farms are ruined.”
Pauline was worried. Everything
she did seemed wrong. "I guess I
had best leave tho weather alone,” she
sighed. "It seems to know best how
to get along by itself.” So she wished
that it would begin raining and be
just like it was belore she started A
interfere with the climate.
Just then a ray of sunlight stole Vti
the window and lighted on her eyes
and with a start she awoke.
"Why, it has really stopped raining,”
she laughed in delight, “and I am glad
it did so itself. I have found out it
would be sorry weather if I had to
manage it. I will make one more
wish,” she continued, as she settled the
red cap on her curls, "and that is that
in the future I will know better than
to grumble whether it rains or shines.”

INDIANS ARE PROGRESSING
Figures Show That the Wards of the
Government Take Advantage of
Their Opportunities.
The “Five Civilized Tribes” whose
original domain wa3 formerly known
as Indian territory, comprise the Cher
okee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek
and Seminole tribes of Indians
in Oklahoma. Their total number of
enrolled members and freedmen is
101,200. Of the total area of land
embraced within the tribes’ domain |
there were allotted to members 15,
794,400 acres. On sales the total de
posited to the credit of the five tribes
July 1, 1898, to June 30, 1914, was $17,
099,826, and there is yet due and draw
ing interest at six per cent the sum
of $5,623,950. The tribal form of gov
ernment of the Cherokee tribe was
practically abolished at the close of
the fiscal year June 30, 1914. Pursu
ant to previous acts of congress ap
plicable to all the tribes, the Choctaw,
the Chickasaw and Seminole tribes
have been deprived of their legislative
and judicial functions, retaining only a
couple of executive officers for the
transaction of business matters. In
the Creek nation the only work of
importance looking to the ultimate dis
position of tribal affairs is the equal
ization of Creek allotments. Of the
total enrolled population of the five
tribes the restricted class numbers
36,957. By the latest available fig
ures the total number of Indians who
have professed Christianity is 85,302;
the number in 1912 was 69,529. There
are 583 churches among the Indians
now, as compared with 513 in 1912.
The latest figures show 27,775 Indian
children in government schools and
4,829 in mission schools. The aver- 1
age school attendance in 1914 was 26,
127; in 1912, 26,281; in 1900, 21,568;
in 1890, 12,323. The number of
schools in 1914 was 399; 1912, 412;
1900, 307; 1890, 246.

"Blankity-blank!” they replied at
considerable length.
“All right,” yawned the native.
