Keeping the Profits In the Family.

Jones was invited out to the golf dub recently for his first essay at the game. He got along fairly well until he reached the sixteenth hole, which requires a drive across the drainage canal. This hole proved his undoing, six or eight brand new balls being •'dubbed” into the big ditch. A number of boys were on hand, as usual, and a brisk competition ensued for the lost balls, a colored urchin known as "Sambo" being the most successful contestant. Jones rewarded the boys liberally and he and his partner proceeded on their way, arriving some quarter of an hour later at the teeingground of the eighteenth hole, which also necessitates a drive across the canal. Jones had teed up and was addressing his ball when his partner directed his attention to the opposite bank. There a small army of darkton of aU sixes and ages was ranged, “watchfully waiting" for him to drive. “Sambo," anticipating another harvest, bad scooted home and brought back the rest of the family.
