The Oldest Golfers.
The Royal Blackheath Golf club
is the oldest golf club in England,
and it also claims to be the oldest
existing golf club in the world, It
was founded by Janies 1. in 1608.
For two or three centuries before
that time golf had been a popular
game in Scotland, but there is no
record of any club having been es
tablished prior to the Blackheath
club.
In 1157 the Scottish parliament
Cassed an act enjoining that “fute
all and golfe be utterly cryit downe
and noeht usit.” A similar act was
passed in May, 1491.
The Koval and Ancient Golf club
at St. Andrews is one of the most
famous in the kingdom. It was in
stituted in 1751, a silver cup having
been played for in May of that year
In 1831 William IV. became [intron
of the club and approved of its be-
. ing in future styled “the Koval and
Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews”
and presented a gold medal to be
played for annually.

The children were not allowed in
the kitchen, but nobody had ever
forbidden their sniffing outside the
door to catch the delicious odors
which could be obtained by a close
application of a small nose to a
crack.
“Why, Ethel,” said Mrs. Har
wood, who discovered them in the
entry outside the kitchen door one
Sunday morning, “why are you
twitching Tommy and slapping
him ?”
“ ’1 Cause he isn’t playing fair,
mother,” said Ethel, “lie’s had five
smells and I’ve only had four, and
it’s my turn.”
“I am, too, playing fair,” asserted
Tommy, his utterance smothered as
he again applied his nose to the
crack. “I’ve got an nwful cold, and
I can’t smell half 11s much ns she
can I”

A Washington man, while visiting
a friend’s [»lace in Virginia, became
much interested in his experiments
in fruit culture.
One dav the visitor was making
the rounds of the place, living in
charge of the friend’s young daugh
ter of ten, who acted as guide.
“This tree seems to lie loaded
with apples,” observed the Washing
tonian, indicating a particularly fino

“Ye*, sir.” assented the little girl;

When Amu- Cumming* was matt-
aging editor of the Yew York Sun,
many years a,o.^in important news
6tory came in late one night anti
was sent to the composing room
with “must" written above it, which
meant that on no account must the
news be left out of the paper. A
few minutes after the copy boy re
turned to the editorial rooms and
reported that the foreman had said
the paper was already overset and
that two columns of other news
would have to be killed if the
“must” story was to get in. Cum
mings took the copy from the boy
and went himself to the composing
room. He demanded an explana
tion. The foreman told him that
there was a pressure of advertise
ments that night ami that they had
usurped some of the space usually
given to news.
“What shall I kill ?” asked the
foreman.
“Kill two columns of advertise
ments and print all the news,” or
dered Cummings, and it was done.
The next day there was trouble
around the Sun office. A hurried
meeting of the stockholdnis was
called, anti it was a storiR one.
Some of the stockholders wanted to
have Cummings discharged, but
Charles A. Dana stood up for him,
and as Dana owned the greater part
of the stock his voice was all pow
erful. After the meeting Mr. Dana
walked out of Ins office and straight
to Cummings' desk. He put his
hand affectionately on the manag
ing editor’s shoulder and said:
“Amos, you have my permission
to throw out advertisements to
make room for the news whenever
in v<mr opinion it is tM*'>es«ary. We
are pub''-bin .• a newspaper, not an
advertising poster.”
