Paying For Extras. In one of the luxurious golf club houses in the south of Ilnjihind a visi tor approached the steward and asked for a luncheon ticket. "Five shillings," said the official. "That's rather a lot, isn't it?" inquir ed the visitor. "A lot? Think of the cost of this club. Sec those pictures? They're worth thousands of pounds. And those tapestries? Their value is simply enormous." On the following day the visitor again asked for a luncheon ticket and tendered half a crown. "I've already told you, sir," said Hie steward, "that the charge is five shil lings." "Yes, I know," was the reply, "but I only want half a crown's worth today. I saw the pictures and the tapestries yesterday." World of Golf. Dynamite. The action of dynamite is compara tively precise. The firing point is ISO degrees l At that temperature it either burns or explodes. If free from all pressure, jar. vibration or force of any kind it merely burns. That is how it comes about that one can burn dynamite safely in the hand if all conditions be wholly favorable. But any least vibration from such requi sites will eaiwe an explosion, which is an excellent reason for avoiding too Intimate ent tires with the compound. When ignited in small quantities in the open air dynamite does nothing more startling than to burn fiercely. When, however, larger quantities are ignited explosion almost invariably re sults, as the temperature is raised by the llames. Chicago Kecord-IIerald. Columbus. MOXIIOK. From the Republican. Mis. H.

Thursday of this week Sheriff Lachnit and his deputy, Mark Burke, came to Monroe and took Nelson Carter to Col umbus, where he will have a hearing to day before the insanity board.
