The golf bug has n sad face. He Is
plainly out of sorts. Something Is the
matter with him. He has Just come
from the doctor's office where he has
undergone a thorough physical exam-
ination. Ho Is soro and depressed but
not from what the doctor found but
from what he refused to find.
"You are all right" snld the learned
physician. "You nro ns sound us a
nut."
That was a little Joke the golf hug
did not enjoy.
"Are you sure thnt I am In tlrst-rlnsB
condition?" hu asked.
"Absolutely."
"Is my blood pressure normal?"
"Perfect."
"Heart regular?"
"Heart O. K."

The custom of laying the corner-
stone ofiFjjubHc. Jiulldlng with cere-
monies wns pPaCtlced by the ancients.
At the laying of the cornerstono when
tho capltnl of Homo was rebuilt n pro-
cession of vestal virgins robed In
white .surrounded the stone nnd con-
secrated It wth libations of living
wnt"1"' A prayer to the gods followed
nnd then the magistrates prlestH. sen-
ators inil knights laid hold of tho
ropes .and moved the mighty stone to
Its proper position. In u hollow cut
In the stone were placed Ingots of
gold silver nnd other metals which
had not been melted In any furnace.
With the .Tows tho cornerstone was
considered nn emblem of power nnd
they also performed ceremonies at Its
laying. Jn medieval times thq rite
was taken np by the order of Free-
masons and hns by them been brought
down to modern days the Masonic
ceremony of laying a cornerstone be-
ing symbolical.
