Ho had long boon curious to know liow many tulles lio actually walked during <i round of golf. Ho iit? purchased a podoineter, st raped it on and sot forth to play the full 18 hole* at Ulon View, write* Obar Jo * ("t'hick") fivanp. When the round wuh onded ho discovered <o his KurprlMV that ho had walked about 10 Y-2 mile*. Tho .^average man would h?sltate a long time b'e~ inn' out lo walk from < 111 cago to Kvanston "? hit of exer I'lini), yet during the season many golfer* play 18 holes daily without special fatigue Many of these gol fers would not walk ho far aw Mr Hums and many would walk ihucIl farther, because a great deal de pends upon the relative skill and good luck of tho player#. Ho who strays from the straight line of course, must walk far to reach a given point. Tho length of an average I 8-hole course Ih usu ally about four miles, but few golf ers can play their balls as straight as the measurement in taken. It may bo some consolation to a golfer In the midst of misfortune to rea lize that he is getting more whole some exercise from his game than the expert who rivals the crow's flight. Mr. Burns' little experiment loads up to the interesting subject of the amount, of exorcise a golfer really takes, and glvea a certain standard fpr comparison with other athletics. The. golfor does not exercise so violently as the player of other games, but lie plays much longer, and it is not. alone that he enjoys the breath of tho open for a certain Dumber of hours, but lie does not, as the sportsman In other games, Remain oil one spot; he progresses. He is happily trying to control a little ball's flight for miles and miles, and that serves a steady progression with a definite aim to a given point. He can enjoy cham pionship of solitude .equally on oc casion, for most golfers " will prob ably agree that there is a groat i pleasure in the occasional loneliness of the links, with a favorite club for a companion, a* friendly sky overhead and the yielding grass under foot. There is a sense of space, of widening fields and far horizons. As for the exercise Itself there Is no other game that so greatly and effectively employs one's entire muscular system. Tho legs, the arms, the eyes, the trunk, the mus cles of the back are all fully used. Therefore doctors recommend It and overworked men of large affairs seek It instinctively; for a long walk without an object, is weari some, but one comes back from a three, four, eight or ten miles' ?tramp across the links invigorated in body and rest ted in mind. Golf is truly what 1 once heard a clever woman call it--"Not a game, but a 'life-saver for tired men." Notice to Farmers and Others. 1 Call' at No. ft:?ft E.

Th^i face of the veiled prop het or Koraaaan would have been like that of Kyrle llellew alongalde, and the face of Caliban as that of a cherub by compariaon. Why, the wild man of Danes waa made out to bo a regular boo-daddy, that would not only frighten children, but make cold, chllla run down the haaka of grown-upB. The wild man, according to The Morning News Btory, had been locked in a amall liouae at Lanes, whore he was be ing held; doubtlesa while the cap tora wore getting a tent and hav ing admlKalou ttoke-ta printed. Hut Berlously thus. Capt. "Pat" Murphy, who dally BklpperB a passenger train between this city and Danes, waa asked last night about the wild man. Had he heard of the Danes guyascutus? No, Capt.

The negro uBed to bo a section hand on the C. & L. road, but was so meaBly mean and lazy that the Ijobb had to chase him. The negro disappeared when the boss fired him. Mighty soon there after the neighborhood chickens be f-an also to disappear. Hest infor mation was .tlo the effect chat the chickens were going into the swamp Involuntarily, with the ex-sectlon hand. When he was caught the oth or dny they couldn't "prove the chickens on" him;, but they could and did make a vagrancy charge stick. Doubtless by this time a. hose, a j pair of horse clippers and a suit of chaingang clothes have spoiled the ! wild man before a single excursion j train could be chartered. A IVnlcfitiittn Now.

SOUTHERN RY.'S EXHIBITS Interesting Display of Southern Farm Products at Land and Irrigation ? Congress. . New York. ? At th^ American Land and Irrigation exposition, which re cently opened at Madison Square Gar den, there are displays of farm and orchard products from every portion of the United States and. from Can ada, but none excels the exhibit from the Southern states made - by the Southern Hallway system, which has : expended several thousand dollars in I collecting material for exhibit purpos- j es from all parts of the territory serv- t ed by Its Hues. ' ' The Southern railway s booth is six- I ty foot long and the arrangements of the exhibit 1s most tasteful and at tractice. There are exhibits of cot ton, tobacco, the grains, grasses and forage, crops, sugar cane, and all kinds of garden truck and an unusual ly fine fruit display. The walls are covered by a large map of the South, sheaves of grain and grasses, a score of large colored photographs of typi cal Southern farm, field and orchard views. There are a half dozen ta bles of the Southern applep, which will convince all who seo them that the Southern apple-growing districts are surpassed by none.

CONDITIONS ENCOURAGING Management of Southern Hallway I? Making It Helpful Factor In . Southern Development , Washington.-? A most encouraging view of conditioaa iu the Southeast in presented in the annual report of the Southern Uaiiway company, which states that one of the most import ant factors in the strength of the com pany's position is the Industrial and agricultural development of the ter ritory traversed by its lines* The marked agricultural progress due to the general adoption of approved methods by the farmers of the South east, particularly the increase of di versified farming, and the diversifies1 tion of industries are noted. The management of the company, with a broad conception of its rela tions to the public* is making the rail way not merely a carrier of the peo ple and products of the South, but also a helpful factor in Southern de velopment. The report sets out the efforts being put forward to increase the prosperity of the people already in the Southeast, and, to attract in vestors and desirable settlers to the territory served by the lines of the Southern railway. A review is given of the work being done by the cotton culture department, which is teach ing farmers, in localities where It Is possible the boll weevil may spread, to successfully combat the insect should It ever appear In their fields, and thus maintain their production instead of having to lfe&rn how to deal with It after it appears, ^he work of this department will be ex tended to cover all territory along the company's lines to which there is even a remote danger that the weevil may spread. The importance to the South of maintaining Its mon opoly of cotton production is pointed out in connection with the vigorous efforts being made to raise cotton In other parts of the world. The re port shows that the company is also encouraging live stock ralstng and dairying in Its territory. Recognition is given the newspapers of the South east for their valuable assistance and also to commercial organizations, to banks and individuals who have aid ed the company In all its efforts to advance the agricultural prosperity of the Southeast. ' The more Important additions and betterments completed and undertak en during the year are shown, among them the double track lines through Lynchburg, Va., and Into Chattanooga, Tenn., 38 miles of double track be tween Atlanta and Gainesville, modern lap-sldlngs on the line be tween Atlanta and Macon, Ga., Knox vine and Chattanooga, Tenn., and, Morristown, Tenn., and Asheville, N. C., new freight station and office building at Atlanta, additional freight station and yard facilities at Macon, and additional wharf facilities at Mo bile, Ala v K Motors In Arabia. -- Aden, Arabia, is five miles from Steamer Point, the shipping junction of that region. Heretofore camel carte have conveyed merchandise for export and import. But camels are slow and the carts are unwieldy. The camels could, at their best, make only two round trips a day between the town and the wharf. The road is steep and full of gravel and flint. But this did not deter business men from employing automobiles as substitutes for camels, says an exchange. One skin exporter paid $4,000 for a three and one-half ton, twenty-two horse' power French truck, which he ttseil in lieu of the camel carts. It carries fifteen bales of skins and makes six round trips dally. The Aden-*Steamer Point, automobile service will Bhortly test a steam car that has been rebuilt into a gasoline car. The Intention is to revive the passenger service. It cost $1,360 to convert the car, which originally cost $2,916. A chauffeur has been obtained from England to make the tests. The owners declare that if the oar is a success thoy will have five othew placed in service. Torpedoes Guided by Alroraft. A patent has been issued to Brad ley A.
