Justice Harlan's Golf.
Here is a new golf story about Justice Harlan. He was playing one day with a friend who was noted for making long drives. This man found a cow In his path, but, not daunted by the obstacle, drove his ball with great force in the direction he wanted It to go. The ball landed in the cow’s mouth. Straightway the Judge’s friend chased the cow. The startled animal turned tall and ran, still carrying the ball. Her pursuer began belaboring her with his club as the pair went facing over the links. Finally the cow o& reaching a putting green, dropped the ball. It landed In a good position and the golfer holed out in one stroke. Justice Harlan followed In leisurely fashion and made it in eight strokes, claiming the hole. “But I made it in two!” exclaimed his friend. “Two nothing,” said the Judge. “You mean thirty-two. I was watching you, and every time you hit the cow counts a stroke.” —From Tit Bits.
