A stray is told of u certain southern ■ author who had a manuscript, accepted by a northern periodical that only nays on publication,-but he lias never had the pleasure of seeing his production in print. Finally he yvent north, and, getting hard up, callt tl on the editor, who would neither return his manuscript nor guarantee hint a day of publication. He repaired to his hotel and wrote the editor a threatening let ter, in which he mentioned pistols and coffee, etc. -Shortly after he was arrt-ted and taken to the station house, whu'e he remained all night. Tile next morning he sent the following message to the editor: “I didn’t know the rules up here. For heaven’s sake deme down and pay my fine and take the manuscript as Security. ” ■ The editor was unmoved by this appeal and replied briefly: “We cannot violate the rules of ouu office. We xvill pay your fine when yym publish your story. We wish you well. ’’ —Atlanta Constitution. Like Other Sag-es. With a knowledge most amazing He was learned in cycling lore.

He had one drawback, however, and that was his ayvkyvardness when on a horse’s back. Naturally his position required the opposite of this, and Patrit k worked hard and faithfully to acquire the ease and naturalness of his comrades when riding. He congratulated hinniolf that this was at last accomplished. But one day yvhen on parade his horse shied and threw hinj|, with considerable force. When he regained co'nsciousiuss, he found that 1 is arm had been broken with the fall. With his usual characfctistic good humor the poor fellow smiled in his pain as ho said: “Well, 'ivell, it’s too bad. I thought I had improved in niy riding a great deal, but instead I have fallen off. ” — Harper’s Round Table.

There is no use telling who his master was, for if might vex some poor sensitive soul beyond tjie Styx and to no purpose. But, for himself, he was a most familiar figure on the links—tall, bent, somewhat one sided, an infirmity that increased yvith years and rheumatism, with an angular face, clean shaved lyLiee a-week, with a Scotch bonnet stuck awry alioye it and a short elay pipe insecurely held in the corner of’his mouth for lack of teeth. Presumably ho had not been alyvays thus. Doubtless there had been a time when he was a barelegged gossoon, scampering blithely yvith naked ft i t, and again a time when be was a spruce young man, a favorite yvith the lassies maybe, but if such times had ever been it was extrenicly hard to picture them to one’s mental visions tutd “blowback” hiniself never rest rred to them. It was impossible to pictuie himjothe'r than he yvas when first we kneyv him —shambling in gait, crooked of aspect, clad in long (roust is anti an iimn; quately short coat, yvith a ytcoltn scarf about his neck, anil I coted ::t such length that it seemed ab-urd to suppose his toes could reach the t tut of their coverings. He was a reserved man and appeared to be without relatives. We did not trouble to inquire about his lodging, but every morning be was to be set n sitting on the bent h that the other caddies occupied, smoking bis pipe ami yvaiting for his master so come yvith the clubs from the clubhouse. Then he. would “carry” the tyvo statutory rounds of the links and disappear again until the folloyving morning. How he spent his Sundays we never thought of asking, but no one has ever appeared to have seen him on the day of rest. All tins yvas in the years before the “boom” in golf yvhich led to the game becoming the possession of all and sundry. Books hail not been yvritten aboutthe game, and all the available maxims were carried in the heads of those who, like “Slowbaek, ” made a profession either of playing or of carrying clubs. The maxims-yvere substantially three, “Slowbaek,” “Keep your eye on the ball” anil “Don't press.” To these might have been added a, fourth, “Be up.” But this applied more particularly to the. short game, and it yvas the first of the maxims, concerned v. ith the move glorious busmess of the drive, that was destined to exercise an important influence on “Sloyvbqek’s” life. There is no doubt, of course, that he hail another name than this sobriquet, but it happened to none of us ever to learn it, and the manner in which lie obtained.bis appellation yvas. as fplloyvs: His master yvas m ver wore than an ’indifferent player at the best. He yva<conscious of his deficiencies, but rather than attribute them to .what yvere pcrliaps their truer cause, of faulty eyesight or inadequate muscle, preferred to refer them to neglect of some of the important maxims of the golfing art and especially to that first quoted one of “tsloyv back. ” He conceived that he had contracted a fatal habit of hurrying the club away, in the tack stroke, from the ball, ami that this initial error yvas responsible for all the subsequent miss hits, ami toppings with yvhich the club visited the ball on its descent. Maybe he yvas right. But in any case the means by yvhich he strove to cure himself of this fatal tendency yvere to make, his catldie ejaculate the magic words of monition, “Sloyv back!” each time that he prepared to raise his club for the driving stroke. The result, it has to be admitted, was not wholly satisfactory. One can say no more thrtu that his execution might conceivably have been xvorse in the absence of the warning. Thus it went on for several years. At the end of that time it happened th:(t “Sloyvback’s” master —for already the caddie had earned the nickname by which alone we kneyv him—yvas called ayvay for three weeks or so by the death of a near relative. Then “Slowbaek” carried clubs for another master. But the habit that ho had formed during these years of ejaculating his monitory “Sloyv back!” as his master raised the club yvas not to be denied. Still, at the conclusion tis each address to the ball, he uttered the solemn words, then fount! himself covered yvith the most pitiful confusion at tljo rebuke yvhich his uncalled for interference had merited. For a stroke or tyvo, putting great restraint upon hiniself, he succeeded in keeping his soul in silence, but at the next the inevitable exclamation broke from him again, to the distraction and despair of the sufferer to whom it yvas addressed. During the three weeks of his master’s absence several golfers made trial of “Sloxvback’s” services, for he yvas an excellent caddie, saving his single idiosyncrasy, and regarded yvith a certain affection as being somewhat of a ‘ ‘character” besides. But-none could suffer him long. One .after another had to give him up after being reduced to impotence anil despair by his ravenlike croak. At length his legitimate master returned, tuid “Sloyvback” yvas a man again. A foyv more years dragged their length to a close, anil then the hand of death fell, this time on nonear relative of his-nutster, but on the master himself. “Sloyvback,” in a new spit of mourning, followed feini to_>tto grave and came back, still wearifig his appar- > V '

el of grief, to sit during the afternoon on his accustomed bench with the other caddies. In the morning he beset himself to find a new engagement. He was in receipt of a small pension from his late master in recognition of so many years of faithful service, but the sura did not sufliee to give him independence. He yvas soon engaged, for the links were thrtuiged yvith players. This time his employer was a newcomer, v.ho knew nothing of “Slowback’s” peculiarity. He yvas nearly stunned yvith surprise at yvhat he deemed the caddie’s insolence on his first ut tcrance of the inevitable words. He said nothing, however, on tlie first offense, but when it was repeated expostulated in unmeasured terms. To his surprise, his rebuke brought “Slowbaek” to the verge of tftirs. Then, partly by his opponent and partly by the opponent’s caddie, the situation was explained. He found hiniself able to mingle a measure of pity with his wrath, but throughout tlie round the ejaculation, many times repeated, in the speaker’s own despite, spoileti his intendtd stroke and led to the immediate payment of the caddie anti rejection of his further eervices. _ Several times during the wishing weeks did noyv one and now ant.rht r, ‘ in ignorance or in pity, engage the unfortunate man to carry clubs, but in no case could bis idiosyncrasy b’e endured beyond tie limits t f a single round. He made efforts that wi re al solutely heroic to ovti’cqmc it, syvathing the yyrtlen comfort'r aivimd his mouth until asphyxiation tlireateni d him, but through all the folds of the stuff t ail ' l , yy illi a niufllt d Jugubricusness, the hYt' fnl exclamation yvhich .tlie man yvorild have given v.’orlt.s ro have v i;i !:t id. Do yvhat he would he could not rid himself of this'daiiini -a fiirrt dilus, bequeathed to him. ah ng withJiis slender pmsien, by his tii pai ttl mastt r. (•irattually he grt to recognize the hopelessness of his condition anil ceased even to st t k employment, lie spt nt his days sitting dejectedly ou t.lie at cus'tomcd scat, growing thinner anti more gaunt as poverty set its grip mere firmly upon him, grateful if now and again one of his friends on the bench would give him a fill of tobacco fox his seldom replenished pipe.

At length he c used to frequent the links altogether. For seme days no one seemed to notice his absence. Then it was noticed that “Slcwbct k” had disappeared, and we began to ask questions about him. His cronies knew nothing, only that be had not been down to the links for a day or two We inquired where he lodged and with some difficulty found the locality. It was up a steep stair in a little house of a back street. His landlady told us that she feared lie was not well. For some days be had not left the house and had eaten next to muliiiip; said his stomach refused food, and that be had nq appetite. We asked her whether she thought he lacked for money, but the woman said no, Lasing her information on the fact that he had kept his small rent i U P ;->'i' W1 en xve event in, it appeared at once I that he was very l ad. He lay on the !'l:cd terribly wasted, scarcely more tlmn : a skeleton of a man. We asked whether : he had st i n a fleeter and being told ino sent off lor one al cnee. He seemed to recognize us, and a strange smile of pleasure strietpled across his thin features. He even tried to speak, but the only word we could distinguish was his terril ie cjacrrlatimi -of “Slow back!” tboug-tavtaeT-hei- he were trying to speak of himself il’itis by his familiar sobriquet or whether he -deemed himself still “carrying’’ for his old master on the links we could not tell. Then he relapsed into silence and seemed to sleep. At length the doctor came. He took but one glance at the peer figure on the bed, passed Ins hand beneath the clothes and laid it for a moment over the heart. Then he turned to us, with a grave face. “Slowbaek” was dead.— Cornhill Magazine. Many Flowers Are In Use. Artificial flowers are much used for garnitures, and often a much befle.wered bodice (the velvet aud silk petals wonderfully true to life) is completed by a shirt covered with floxvers in silk embroidery, in colors that match the velvet ones. \ Illustrating this idea, I saw a gown of yellow brocade and white velvet, with a suggestion of the pompadour in its make up. The bodice was cut square about the throat, and had a long, straight busk effect iu front, this front, as v\ll. as the apron panel ou the,skirt, being of moire velvet in white, embroidered with small flowers done in strass, diamonds and erneralos forming the petals, gold threads the stems aud leaves. The long train was en princess and of the yellow brocade, like the bedice, loosely arranged green silk roses trailing down the sides. A charming fichu of cobwebby lace and mull was draped about the square decolletage in such away as to form little jabots over the shoulders in place of Sleeves, and on each side of the stomacher, while in the back it formed a V, the late falling low in a jabot draped with a few of the exotic emerald green silk roSe.s. —St. Louis Republic. Disease Bearing Parasites. Texas fever, an infectious disease-of cattle which prevails as an endemic disease in certain regions iu the southern portion of the United States, has'beeu shown, by the researches of Theobald Smith and other bacteriologists belongs iug to the agricultural department, to be due to a blood parasite belonging to the protoz.il (Pyrosonia bigemiuum of, Smith). In this disease the tick has been shown to be the intermediate host of the parasite? The ticks which fall from infected auimals give birth to'ii numerous progeny in the pastures freainihted by them, and those young ticks attach themselves to other animals Which subsequently feed ? in the same pastures.aud transmit to them the fatal iufeetiou.—Surgeon General Sternberg in Popular Science Monthly.

The man who had never beeiysiyk was strut g tacausf he always digested his food, and you could become the same by helping your stofiiiieh to work as well as his.
