H HER POINT OF VIEW
A CIIAaiPION OF THK LINKS.
He gave a splendid dinner
To the golfers who were there;
And they voted him n winner
For that wondrous bill of faro.
And he spent some moro good money
For strango togs of red and green,
Thinking 'twould be very funny
if ho were nt tho llncst seen.
And ho bought the most expensive
Clubs tliMt could bo found ut all,
And he gtew almost offensive.
Boasting of his kind of bull,
la tho wild, exciting revel,
As tho seml-llnulH sped,
He forgot to bo quite civil
To the girl ho was to wed.
When the tournament was over-
And liu Jotted down tho coat
In expenses, and the fortune
With thu wife that he had lost,
To his vast dissatisfaction,
When tho scores wero counted up.
All he'd gained by the transaction,
Was a dinky silver cup.
A real golfer with his war paint on
nnd a covetous gleam In his eye which
means cups, Isn't a beauteous oblect.
With such weather as we have had for
tho past few days there have been few
white ducks ut the Country club, notk-
Ing but faded antiques In the wny of
knickerbockers, bnndlt-llke stilt la nnd
weird tlrs of Impossible hues, lumrded
hnlr, and hard lines In checks where
dimples might bo for even tho hard
est featured golfer once wns a nice,
sweet, dimpled, laughing baby, al
though this fnct Is dlflicult to l'ccon
clle with the present conditions'. In
almost nny other employment or
amusement, nbovc the ush cart busi
ness, known to civilization a man who
would appear arrayed llko unto u
crack golfer would bo looked upon
with suspicion If not positive distrust.
But tho more dishevelled a golfer, tho
dearer he l. Tho more dlsrroutnblo
his shoes, the more you admire him.
Tho more Indescrlbaby baggy and 111
lilting nnd dun colored his Jacket nnd
knickers, the more his outfit sneaks of
Illimitable rows of cups and medals.
If added to all these indications, he
has a fitful glare In his eye, nn nbrupt
sort of smile and a pair of stockings
that the unconscious owner has nut on
spirally, you recognize him as a cro
bablo If not tin assured chamnlon and
fall down and worship accordingly.
It's rnther n silly thlncr to grumble
about the city government, the bad
management of schools, the tnlaultles
of municipal officials generally. We
usually ret what we' want or rather
what we deserve In this world. If we
very much want clean streets nnd a
quiet Sabbaths we can hnve them. It
only needs a little nsltatlon properly,
applied. It is this all pervading apa
thy benumbing public spirit which Is
nt fault. We say wo nre so busy mind
ing our own business that we cannot
bother about nubile affulrs. Wo ran
only sit nt home between times nnd
mourn the degeneracy of tho city and
Its management. Tho fnct Is that
when wo really want a change and
want It hard enough to make n little
nominal effort, we can have It. Offi
cials little and big will display enough
alacrity In reform If the oeonlo give
significant proof that they want re
form. Tho great dliliculty Is that most
of us do not care enough nbottt reform
to take any trouble to bring It nbout.
Wo wouldn't bother to ask a few of
our friends to go with us down to the
mayor's ottlce nnd make a reauest to
have tho shops and saloons on Lacka
wanna avenue closed on Sunday. Wo
do not care enough about cleanliness
to go to our councllmon and Insist that
radical measures bo taken. Wo do not
care enougli about education nnd tho
morality and tho safety of the country
to bestir ourselves and see that Intelli
gent and representative school control
lers are elected. Tho men who could
best manage such affairs disdain to
serve In the councils or on the Board
of Control. We women, who after all
do control tho city or could If' we took
the trouble to Interest ourselves, do
not care to have our husbands or fath
ers occupy places In either of those
bodies. We say, "Oh, jjmt don't want
to mix In politics. It Is such low busi
ness. Then It takes you out nights
when you might be accompanying us
to tho theatre or to prayer meeting.
Then there will bo such queer neonlo
coming to the house. Whv we wouldn't
have you on the poor board or any of
those things for the world. We never
could get a chance to eat dinner In
peace. They'd bo sitting round on the
porch and In the' kitchen, and It would
be Just horrid. The school board
would be a great nuisance. The teach
ers would bo pursuing you nil the time
for positions, and then they do say
that those school bookmen are likely
to get tho cleverest and brightest con
troller Into trouble. No, don't you In
terfere in such matters. Let the oeo
plo who like that sort of thing hold tho
olllces."
Of course It Is all wrong, but It la
no worse thnn we like to have It else
we would tnkc steps toward a change
A city's government Is about what
tho people like. It doesn't take a verv
large number of citizens with nubile
sentiment back of them to make a
vigorous protest that will be felt for
nothing Is moie sensitive than a little
centre to a big piece of machinery
which can be operated by wires pulled

JOSIAR AND LOWEEZY.
I never forglt tho day
That wti went out a-walkln";
An' sot down on tho river bank,
An' kept on hours a-talklu'.
Ho twisted up my apron string.
An' folded It together,
An' said he thought for harvest tlmo
'Twas cur'us kind o' weather.
The sun went down us wo sot there;
Joslar seemed uneasy,
And mothcrsho began to call:
"Loweczy! Oh! Lowcezy!"
An' then Joular spoke right up,
As I was just a-sturtln',
An' said: "Lowcezy, whut's tho use
Of us two ever partln'?"
It kind o' took mo by surorlse.
An' yet I knew 'twas comln',
I heard it all the summer long
In ev'ry wild bee's humnilri';
I'd studied out the way I'd act:
But. la! 1 couldn't do It,
I meant to hide my love from him;
But seems as If he knew It.
An' lookln' down Into my eyes,
He must 'a' seen the tiro;
An' ever since that hour I've loved
An' worshiped my Joslar.

Mrs. Jennie H. Steele, Vaughns, Ga., writes: "I havo
suffered for ten years with what the doctors call neuralgia of
the liver, and never had any relief from the doctor's medi
cine or anything else, until I began using Paine's Celery
Compound. I have taken about three bottles and have not
suffered any since I first began to take it.
"I feel that it has saved my life, and hope all who suffer
as I have will give Paine's Celery Compound a fair trial."
