Finding an Excuse.

An Irascible old colonel who used to play golf at Sandwich, which is on tlie river Stour, had a habit, common with mauy, of blaming everybody but himself for his bad strokes. Finally one day. becoming badly bunkered, lie first took mighty vengeance on the turf with ids club; then, glaring around in expectation of the usually friendly comments and nobody saying anything, he blurted out, “How can you expect a man to play decent golf ou these cursed links with ships passing up and down the channel?”—London Mail.
