' noon shortly after I had drawn $23 of

In my office on the second Moor. I was
busily at work when tho telephone rang
and a voice said: "This Is the olTlco of

haa been erroneously delivered to us,
I'leaae come right up und get It."
Naturally, I went, leaving myJoor and

people upstairs said they knew nothing
of the phone message, so l hurried back
to ray ofllco, where 1 discovered thu S25
had been stolen. Tho thief had even
taken nlno pennies from tho purse. In
the midst of my tears ovor tho loss of
my very, very hard earned money, 1

THE PUDLIC DEMAND FOH GOLF.
Thinking I could steal a march on
other golfers through the chango In day
light saving time I arrived nt the pub
lic golf course, called the Mosholu links
at 5.80 o'clock Sunday morning. I
found fifty golfers already assembled
there with the same thought In their
minds. By the time the starter arrived
shortly after six o'clock there wen
about 150 golfers waiting to play. Tip
last of them wouldn't be able to ilrlv.
oft for four hours. It wasn't light
enough to play until after 6.30 o'clock
I had to watt an hour and half befort
I could start. I played eighteen lioW
whlch required four hours. My wife
who signed up at P. 40, couldn't start
until 2.45. Sho had only twelve holes
played at 6.16 o'clock, when she had to
stop on account of darkness. It seemed
to me that with the popularity of golf
the City should make all the unused land
above Woodlawn available for links so
that more people might enjoy them
selves outdoor. James E. Sinclair, No

A QUESTION ANSWERED.
As a friend and I were turning shore
ward In a canoe In Crystal Lake at
Eagle Rock last Sunday we heard
splashes and gurgles, and saw two
young men clinging to an overturned
canoe. They appeared in no particular
danger, and my friend, who loves a
Joke, thought It would be fun to kid
them. "Is the water wet?" he shouted.
One of the men thought he would let
my friend answer his own question, for.
swimming over to our canoe, he
grabbed It and spilled us out. Wo not
only got a soaking, but when wo
reached shore after belnr rescued we
found our carfare had fallen from our
pockets while we were In the lake, and
we had to hoof It home. FRANK MAN
