Ak-Sar-Ben eighth of his line an I met, mighty, puissant and worshipful, is now on his throne, and by his side his fair and gracious queen. Qulvera's loyal citizens have proclaimed Ihelr love and fealty most vociferously, and again have taken up their wonted pursuits, content In the knowledge that the succes sion to the throne continues unbroken, and thnt the line of gracious monarchs bids fair to extend far into th? future.

It ma? irt bp so much of a fad as it was two years ago, but even that feature is In favor of Its permanence, for those who play golf now do so from sheer love of the game and not because it Is the thing to do. And that these true lovers of tho sport are not a ft w is shown by the fat t that more than 100 men and a score of women ntered a tournament at the Omaha ('ni 'try club links recently. Only a few yeais ago an enthusiastic young sporting writer deliver-J himsi K of a lengthy dis sertation on the game, concluding with the assertion that golf wi destined to sup plant base hall as the m.'tnnal game. While there Is little likelihood of this coming to pass, there Is equally no doubt but golf will continue to thrive. It affcrds as no other game does a healthy form of exercise. It gives ample scope for the practice of all the virtues and a few of the vices, but Its highest re-cmmendatlon Is that It lures men away from their office lives and gets them to tramptnu tip Mil and down dale, In the epen air, amid the surroundings of nature.

Senator Quay tells a st ry to I lustrate S nator Penrcse's loyalty to the organiza tion without regard for his personal cpln Irn8 or comfort. Quay, In a spirit of well ct ncealed raillery, told the Junior senator one day that no Inconsiderable part cf official popularity lay In entertaining dur ing the Washington season, and advised him to go In more lavishly for social hon ors and attentions. "Why." raid Quay, "a senator of your age cugbt to be married. Indeed, Penrose, I'd advise you, for the sake of the organi zation, to get married. Your chances of re-election through influential demand by the bigwigs will be Increased a thousand fold If you take a charming wife down there with you next term. With your money, you cught to be able to do it well." Penrose pondered deeply a minute or two and then asked: "Do you really think a thing like that counts?" "Sure!" answered the Old Man.

Golf hasn't become our religion yet, but It Is recognized as one of our Institutions. Another of Nebraska's contributions to the official roster of the American navy li Mllo Dramel cf Fremont, who has Just been appointed a cadet at the Naval academy at Annapolis. He is a true west ern boy, who knows what hard work U, and who has won his way by his own ef forts. He was born at Fremont eighteen years ago last May. His father was a dairyman, and the son helped In carrying on the business, but was not deprived of ample schooling, for he was graduated with a high mark from the Fremont High school. In the preliminary examination at Norfolk he stood first among the applicants, and at Annapolis he passed an almost perfect physical examination and got a high mark In his mental examination without taking the customary preparatory course. Solomon Yoder of West Point, Neb., Is another of the good old timers. He wai born In Berks county, Pennsylvania, on April 25, 1812, and lived there until 1872. when he removed to Cuming county, Ne braska. For twenty-nine years he has been a dally reader of The Bee and still consults It dally. In politics he has always taken a great Interest and although he has never sought an office he keep? thorcughly posted on the doings of the parties. Seventeen times he has voted for president, and prides himself on never having voted for a demo cratic candidate for president, vice presl- passing a Boclal hour sometimes recounts his experiences. At a dinner given to the Very Rev. Dean Llags In Yonkers several weeki ago, relates the New York Times, the tlshup related the following to the delectation cf the assembled gueBts: "It was s'lortly after I had been made vicar general or nnnslsnor I do not re member which when en ag d Irish woman encountered me cn the street. She was a gocd rid soul and had bet n a member of our parish church for years. Grasping me by th - hand, she remarked: " 'Oh, father, and sure the Lord ble?s you; I hear they gave you a rise.' "I replied that her Information was cor rect. " 'Well,' she responded, 'an' I'm pleased for that; It's yourself that deserves the rise.' "I thanked the good woman sincerely and was cbrut to 'leave her, when, still holding my hand, she remarked: " 'And all I hope is that the next rise they give you will be to heaven.' " "I once heard a minister who blasted from his pulpit," says a writer In the Record-Herald, "that he was able to preach from any text In the bible offhand without thought or other preparation and. as a test of bis talent In extemporaneous speak ing, be Invited bis congregation the next Sunday morning to band In any texts they sould like blm to preach from, when he would show them what he was abta to do. DK. J. D. Hl'LLINGER OF DEWITT, la. dent, governor or congressman. He hopes to be spared to vote for Theodore Roos?velt in 1904, which he is quite likely to do, for he has excellent health fer a man 90 years of age. Dr. and Mrs. J. D. IIulllnger of DeWitt, la., celebrated their golden wedding in ap propriate form. Mr. and Mrs. Hullinger were married in DeWitt, Clinton county, la., Just fifty years ago, shortly aftr coming there from the east and they have made their home there continuously ever sine1, in their long residence winning the esteem of a wide circle of friends and acquaint Tellers' Pack In cider that he might not be suspected of surreptitious preparation the passages cf scripture were to be written upon slips of paper, scaled up In envelopes and placed upon the pulpit immediately before the opening of the service. "The next Sunday morning the pastor came bounding in, pride and confidence gleaming In h's eyes, and fcund a number of sealed envelopes lying upon the big bible. After the pre'iminary service he called attention to them and said he would preach from the text contained In the envelope that lay on top of the pile. The remainder he would reserve for future Sabbaths. Tearing It open, he unfolded a slip of paper and read the words once ad dressed to the prophet Balaam: " 'Am I not thine ass?" " Cleopatra, in the brilliance of her beauty, quotes the Baltimore N"ws, spoke thus to the wizard: "We are but n ortal. O Grayhenrd " "I'nto dust after the allotted span." quoth th? sage, "unless " "I divine thy meaning. It Is the custom that the rulers be embalmed, and thus defy the ravages of time, as a mummy." "Even so!" Then the queen spoke coninianllngly and there was a strange gleam in her eyes.

HL'LLINGER OF DEWITT, la. ance. Their golden wedding anniversary was a memorable event. It was attended by their two sons, Dr. J. n. Hullinger and Engineer William Hullinger of Cl nton and four daughters, Mrs. J. R. Anderson and Miss Belle Hullinger of DeWitt and Mrs. J. W. Hullinger of Omaha, with the mem bers of their families, and the brothers and sisters of the venerable couple, also wi h their families from various parts of the country. There were ahrut fifty relatives pres-nt. The anniversary celebration was held In the afternoon and even'ng. The venerable couple are nged respectively 7.5 and 68 years. the ages of the mummies they discover!" The palace was filled with the ruby va por of necromancy. "Ah!" trembled the wizard, "'tis even so. Those prying scientists of the twen'l eth century will calculate the mummy's age down to the half month." "To the block with him!" roared Cleo' patra; "Just to think that I Fhould come so near to having th? world know my age!" Charles Kiehtnan tells an amuing inci dent of his early days in the theatrical profession which illustrates that truthful ness sometimes pays. He applied to Canie Turner for the position of Lading man. after being discharged by Augustus Pitou. "Why did you leave Mr. Pitou's com pany?" asked Miss Turner. "I didn't leave him," replied Richman, I was discharged." "Discharged!" echoed Miss Turner "What for?" "For Incompetency," replied Richman briefly. "Incompetency." repeatid the actress, "and you have the nerve to come and ask "i? for a position as leading man'" "Yes," said Richman. The actress burst out into almost un controllable laughter. Wh. n ,he recovered her composure she patted Richman on the back and said: "You'll do." Then she en gaged htm.
