THE GOVERNOR'S CADDIE.
W
A Methodiat Preacher and He Carried
a Rabbit's Foot, But it Was
Damned.
Former Governor George P. Mc-
Lean and Charles C. Cook, of Hartford.
after an absence of nearly three
months in the smith, have returned
home. When asked today what the
southern resorts offered in the way of
entertainment Mr. Cook said:
“Golf is the principal diversion. The
links are excellent and the caddies,
well. you should see the caddies. typic-
al southern darkles. ranging in age
from 5 to 75 years. It was nothing
unusual to see more than 100 of them
at a time huddled together in a regular
paddock awaiting a customer. I asked
the caddie master what they did for a.
living in the summer, and he said some
worked in the peach orchards. others
had trades, and a few were ministers
0r preachers, as they are called in the
south. He pointed out one dignified
old chap nearly if not quite 70 with
white hair and whiskers who he said
was quite an exhorier. ,
"In going over the links a few days .
later with Governor McLean. i noticed
that he, had drawn this old fellow for
a caddie and once when the governor
made a bad stroke and I suspected
that he might possibly wish to make
a few remarks appropriate to the 00‘
casion. l cautioned him in an under-
tone that his caddie was a gentleman
of the cloth. Turning to the caddie
curiously, be asked:
' ‘Are you preacher?’
