Eminent theologians, quite naturally
It seemed to us, should have been
the authorities from whose decision
there could be no upiitful ou thl? quea

knew, but had for the moment forgot

Hartford Couraut writer. We have not
heard from them. Others, not huving
forgotten, told ua. If we had stopped

went further and asked several of the
eminent clergymen. Those who told us
had so many favorites that wo were
? more bewildered and amazed than
when we begun. John MUton, John
Hunyjin, John Wesley, Sir Isaac New
ton. Francis Bacon, Samuel Johnson,
I>r. John Donne, Bishop Hall, Dean
Swift?we could not believe that
Dean Swift would have said thot?
Isaac Watts and Bishop Berkeley,
those are some that we recall.
Eminent literary men, appealed to,
were equally certain they knew and
did not In all cases disguise an amused
contempt that we should ask a ques
tion when the answer was of a nature
that should spring spontaneously to
the lips of the educated, but their
choices were as varied as those of
their eminent brothers lu another field
of endeavor. About the only addenda
to the lists given by the clergymen
thnt we recall were Alexander Tope,
Ben Jonson?we know he did Jiot say
It?William Pitt, Karl of Chatham,
Sydney Smith and Thomas a'Kempis;
but they, when pressed, produced no
documentary evidence.

similar fashion our query began to in

of the quest kindly called up to In
form us that Francis Bacon had said
it. We asked her how she knew. She
had attended a lecture shortly before
und the lecturer had quoted the
phrase and ascribed It to the man who
once remarked that God Almighty
planted the first garden. Somewhat
10 her surprise we asked if she could
|K)ssibly get in touch with the lecturer
and ascertain the quotation
with Its credit rnlgTil be found. The
lecturer. It later developed, was cer
tain, of the fact, but could produce no
authority for It. That sturted the
young woman on n search among all
the books of quotations that were, ever
written and are still extant In Hart
ford.

ever guilty of the bombastic and con

recently "acquired a girl," whom his
father finds an added expense. The

More than O.tKK) emigrants over the

his kindness In helping to recover lost

crossings, lu leading back men who
had strayed and become lost. This wus
In the Khoshonl country of Wyoming

In personal appearance he in de
scribed as being tall and powerful of

young man he was autocratic as a
chief and refused hospitality to any

his great popularity In his tribe by
his victories over the Blackfeet and

than once saved hunters ami trapj>ers
from death. ?.
At the age of 70 the average white
man begins to think of retiring. Not
so with Washakie. Some of the newest
generation decided he should be de

Golf Ball Retriever.
The golf enthusiast may save en
ergy for the next drive by the use of
v a new golf hall retriever, fastened to
the putter handle, by which he can
pick the ball out of the cup or from
the green without stooping, says
Popular Science Monthly.
The novelty consists of a small
nickel plated braes cup, the 'Inside
diameter of which is exactly the seme
as that of a golf ball, the handle of
the putter with the retrievor In place
I Is Inserted, and pressed over the ball,
which is caught In the cup and wltb
i drawn. The inventor Of the retriever
claims that the extra weight at the
end of the club will enable the player
to putt more accurately.
