AN OLD MAN'S GAME.
On one occasion an old lady was in the same railway 'compartment as a party of golfers. "1 found fearful trouble this morning,'' said one. "At the tirst I fell right into the middle of a prickly gorse-bush, and at the second I was stuck up on the to;, of a tree. I pitched out of bounds into the farmyard at the third, got caught by the wire at' the fourth. Lstuck fast in a deep hole at the fifth, found myself buried in mud at the sixlh. 1 was lying in a heap of rough Hints at the seventh, got lost at the eighth, and finished up at the bottom of that dirty ditch at the last hole." "Gracious mc!" cried the horrified old lady from her corner of the carriage, "and they told mc that golf was an old man's game! I'll never let niy Edwin play again!"
