For the Golfer.

COMJNKI, BOUKV. (A huge- number of golf clubs are dismissing Colonel Bogey, and substituting par golf in hi-s place.—Kxchange.) C'obnel Bogey is dismissed I am glad to hear. He'is been on my Nuisance Li'--t, 0 for many a year. Meanest cuss upon the links Here or 'cross the sea— Never smok-:s, and never drinks Even cambric tea. Plays a very perfect game— That is. so they say. I have only seen his name, Xot his style of play. Never foozles - , never sclaffs, Never plays a slice, Never jokes, and never chaffsAlways cold as ice. Never rshow.s himself at all, Though lie'is everywhere. Never even lands a ball In the bunker there. I'l.iys the same each time he pi-.;y= -, Varies not. a stroke. And he never, never pays For allot hers smoke. No one's ever been there when He has made his score. Other folks sometimes play teu Where he's only four. Rather strange, it seems lome, Hinting some of tricks, Seldom more- than four or three, Never more than six! Travis, Vardon. Taylor can't Do as well as that. Yet the mystic visitant Never tumbles flat. Never seems to lose his eye, Land in graM? or mikl In a beastly rotten lie Willi a sick'ning thud. Glad am I lie's: got the shake, Got il good and hard. Never did a, greater fake, Falsify a card ! Glad he's gone and hope, he'll stay, Now he's gol the shove. And in parting, by the way, What's he Colonel of? —John Hendrick Bangs, iu ''Harper's Weekly.''
