Why He Was Marrying.
A lady golfer tells a story of an elderly bachelor in Edinburgh who had 1 played golf from boyhood up. He had never oourted a girl because, he said, goK hadn't allowed him the time. Henc-e. everybody was surprised one day to hear that- the crusty old gentleman was to be married. A caddie — the caddies are men in Scotland — went to him, wrung him by the hand, and said, sentimentally, "Man, I'm glacl yer goin' to wed. I think ye must love her dearly. I know your life will be all bliss and sweetness now, and I envy ye the golden days o' romance in store." " Pooh, pooh, Robert !" said the other, "tfs nothing- of that sort. Maemann. the champion, took c wife last year, and it improved his janw. T am just taking on© in the hope that it will improve mine."
