Leroy Beaulieu, a well-known econ-
omist of Paris, has declared that the
leisure class of men will have to work
for their living in 1952. He made this
interesting statement in a lecture on
the conversion of the French three and
one-half per cent, debt into three per
cent, bonds. He said that the rate of
interest is constantly decreasing, and
predicted that in the next 25 years
capital will be glad to get two per
cent., and that 50 years hence such
first-class securities as government
bonds and railway securities will bear
one per cent, interest, “which,” said
the lecturer, “will compel all except
the very large capitalists to work for a
living, and the leisure of the class of
people now callsd well off will be abol- I
iahed.”
THE ORIGIN OF GOLF.
Game Wa» First Played by a Scotch
Ikepherd with Hi» Croak
aad a Pebble.
The man or woman who has become
interested in golf must needs* know
something of its origin over in Scot-
land. In his book, “The Art of Golf,**
Sir W. G. Simpson tells the following
pretty story as to how the game had
its beginning:
‘‘A shepherd leading his sheep
would often chance upon a round peb­
ble. and, having his crook in his hand,
would strike it away; for it is as- inevi­
table that a man with a stick in liis
hand should aim a blow at any loose
object lying in his path as that he
should breathe. Over pastures green
this led to nothing; but once upon a
time a certain shepherd, feeding his
sheep on a links, perhaps that of St.
Andrew», rolled one of these stones
into a rabbit rcrape.
‘‘‘Mary,” quoth he, ‘I could not do
that if I tried,’ a thought which nerved
him to the attempt. But a man can­
not long persevere alone in any ardu­
ous undertaking, so Mr. Shepherd
hailed another, who was hard by. to
witness the endeavor. ‘That is easy.*
said the friend, and, trying, failed.
They now searched the grass for the
roundest stones, and having deepened
the rabbit scrape, so that the stones
might not jump out of it. they set
themselves to practice putting.
“The stronger but less skillful shep­
herd. finding himEelf worsted at the
amusement, protested that it was a
fairer test of skill toplay for the hole
from a considerable distance. With
this arranged, *he game was found to
be much more varied and interesting.
The sheep having meanwhile strayed,
the shepherds had to go after them.
“This proving an exceedingly irk­
some interruption, thev hit upon the
ingenious device of nailing a circular
course of holes, which enabled them
to play and herd at the same time.
These holes being now many and far
apart, it became necessary to mark
their whereabouts, which was easily
done bv means of a tag of wool from a
sheep attached to a stick, a primitive
kind of flag still used on many greens,
almost in it« original form. Since
these early days the essentials of the
game have altered but little.

Incidents.
For ten years, more or less, say from
1S74 to ISM, and later than thi» in the
northern range, there was universal
pi*o»petitv and plenty of money; to be
u vow man meant being a small, but
powerful king with a princely. king­
dom, the boundaries of which were *et
by precedent and by the honor of cus­
tom- as far as a man on horseback
could see, anti by water as firmly as if
corner-marked and title-deeded.There
was no rent, and virtually no taxes to
pay. A man might own a hundred
thousand cattle, and not an acre of
land,though he claimed “range right»”
to 50,000 acres, and enforced those
rights with blood and iron, writes Kay
Stannard Baker, in Century.
Apparently this was a new sort of
free life in which man had risen above
the old slow rules of thrift. It was a
simple business; turn the cattle to
grass, and when money was needed,
round them up and sell them.
But the lucky dog sometimes had
difficulty in enjoying his bone in peace«,
Lured by the stories of sudden riche»
in the cattle country, other men, as
bold and hardy as the first, flocked in
from all ¡»arts of the world, and began
raising big and little herds. The build-*
ing of the railroads across the conti­
nent stimulated immigration;
the
great Texas boom followed the com­
pletion of the Texas Pacific railroad
in 18-83. At first the early coiners wel­
comed the new rangers, sold them ciZ*
tie at exorbitant prices, chuckled at
their innocence, allowed them to come
in on tlje ranges, and grew richer and
richer. There were times when Texas
steers, big and little, brought $25 each
dn the range.
But the title swelled,
and the cattle continued to increase
enormously. Presently th* first real
settlers, the “westers” of Texas, who
wished to fence the land for farms,
appeared in numbers, and the early
coiners, the original cowboys, began
to chafe. “Who’s elbowing me?” they
inquired, and there was prompt and
effective shooting, and the wholesale
cutting of the new fences.
Many good men lay down in the hot
sand, never to rise again. But that,
bad as it was. did not tell the whole
story of destruction. If cattle had
been killed instead of men, the trouble
might have been averted, but the herds
went on multiplying until they covered
all the range, giving It no rest winter
or summer. Each cowman scrambled
Tor all he could get; he argued that if
he did not take the grass his neighbor
would. And who qiyed a rap for jthe
future? Life wu.»
ort and money
tangible. At first, there had been
enough grass to support one steer to
every t wo acr»’» of land; in haff a dozen
years a steer did well to make his liv­
ing on five acres. Aftey that the ratio
steadily widened. So great was the
struggle for new territory that whole
herds of cattle sometimes went 20
miles or more to water and then bark
again, galloping every step, and work­
ing hard between times to get enough
from the failing ranges to keep life
within their lean carcasses. And to­
day there are many parts of the range
that will not support ten rattle to the
square mile, one steer to every «4 acres,
and It is a good range indeed that will
feed a steer to every 20 acres. There
are whole ranges in Texas, New Mes
