The spelling is Mr. Carnegie's revised sy stem, and ' It roes regarrilens of the protests of diction ary makers. Tho paper follows: The first golf club tit the United States was organized ut Yonkers, November 14. 1S8S, and named Saint Andrews. Kobert Lockhart of Yonkers was born In Dun fermlin, Scotland, was often in his natlv town as buying member of his firm, and thero he lernt the ancient and royal game. Becoming a devotee, he resolvd that his country should no longer be without this indispensable adjunct of high civilization. He purchased several dozens of clubs in Dunfermline and upon arrival ut Yonkers explulnJ tho game to his fellow crony -Dunfermllte, Jack Reld, and a few others, who began experimenting In Hold's 01 cli&rd, a larger field being afterwards se cured. Jack Reld waa elected president of the club (Lockhart declining becaus he bad to bo abroad so much), and John C. Ten Eycke, of good Dutch atock, secretary, which ha still remains.

We must not forget that Scotland also gave Episcopacy to this republic, for it waa a Scotch biahop who declared he would consecrate a proper American can didate, and did to after English church men had refused. It also gave 'Wilson, and Hamilton, the federalist, pioneers, the former the originator of trm doctrin of Implied power In the constitution.

There are game and game. Does a gam make opponents closer and dearer to each other, or does it arouse ill-feeling and Jealousy and drive men apart as ri vals, each grudging the success of the other T We often hear accounts of the rivalries aroused by some of our games, foot ball especially, and very naturally o. played as it Is with us, when men roll on the ground attempting to disable each other. The reverse is the case with golf. Men become dearer friends than ever; the oftener they meet on the green, tba fonder they become of each other and greater the longing for their chum's society; and In after years, if separated, each warms aa th name of the other is mentioned, and ends his panegyric with the ever entranc ing word murmured with emoiion, "Ah, we plyd golf together!" Short, simple, sufficient! Oolf glv us Intervals for ex change of .mutual thoughts which streng then the ties between us. We rejoice to see that our chums are ploying well Mid applaud their success. Golf is a game entirely free from fyslcal struggle over opponents the Ineradicable root of evil In foot ball. ( Th Elixir at l ite, Ko game givs so much of the open air, the elixir of lite from morning till nlte. With a n.odoBt bite at luncheon, mayhap, It can b playd without undue fatigue, even by elderly people, wd then there's a few minutes' rest and the chat at the green with your bosom crony. No delay Impairs the game. Sit and moralise. Drive off at your pleasure. It' all th same. Another special feature of th grand gam Is that, forgetting all other sub lecta attention must be concentrated upon It. This la what take th cobweb out of th brain, hunger, thirst, cold or heat. business caies, sublime soarings, all take a back seat when th critical moment ar rives and all depends upon th last put. I am a very late convert to th noble gam of golf. Well do I remember laugh tug at th first attemts of some guest to drive we ball Into we bolea In som parts of th park at Bklbo. On day a noted golfer and oup winner, Mr. Morrison, librarian, Edinburgh, came to me there, all aglow, his eyes sparkling, and an nounced in rapid accents, panting for bieth, his remarkable find. "Do you know you hav a natural golf course at th bottom of the park between the loch and the firth? Certain, no possible mistake. "What a find!" And my friend awaited my reply in an attitude which seemd to express wonder that I had not faJnte-1 at this start ling discovery, this supreme gift of F evi dence which made Skibo perfect, leaving nothing els to be desire 3. We had to be careful not to shock our friend by seem ing Indifference and did th best we could to conceal the latent smile. That waa only eleven year ago. Mo.-rison waa told to work It up and Skibo link Is th result, and such links! Along- one Ide a salmon loch, sea gulls nesting upon an island In the center "where focream the wild sea mew" as they flutter around: the salt firth filling along th other side; scores of skylarks nesting along the edge of the links and filling th air with their thrills a they mount. The carpet under our feet, a variegated rug, o brilliant the colors. The links coat money, but w atK cur selves what amount of money would in due us to part wl.h this special attri tion which givs rarer pleasure to more of our vl store than any other on feature of our life In the Highlands. The links which we laft at renderd us Crank Morvlron'o dettor forever, and he isn't much of a crank after all. Camakt tm the Nat. My nephews play and win prlxo; and upon our visits to our gifted sister's Cum berland Island I saw th effect of th game upon devotee of our family. Neverthe less. I waa persuaded Just to try on drive or two just to be in th fashion. Then an other, and lo and behold, before I knew It. th temter had roe in his tolls and I be came not a player of, but at golf, which I am still and shall ever remain. Beginning at 63 year, what can on ex pect! I try to mak good bargain with real players and the number of strike som generous soul allow givs ma a gam now and then. Sometime drre suspicion lurks -that their explanations for certain extraordinary failures they arouaes sus picion even when th haadlcae ar liberal, but not wishing to embarrass my libera colleags, I accep the situation, smiling-to myself, nevertheless. I'm tolerable now adays upon the green, but the long, straight, swinging drive is still beyond my reach, altho I was on the green in three twice recently, and thia Inspires hope. Relief from Troubled Conscience. ' I am ' blest with a clever sister-in-law, "The Commodore," mother of my nine nefews and niece, who, captivated by the game, has her own links. She soon found the absolute necessity for some expletlv which could be Indulged In with immunity, more especially since she could not re strain herself from giving vent to an ex pletlv now and then which waa really wicked, and preyd 'upon her conscience. She appeald to me in her extremity and I suggested that when she fooileoS so badly that something had to be roared out for Immediate relief, she should try "Potsdam, Rotterdam and Amsterdam," which she agreed to do. Relief proved only transi tory and she finally contest she found It too long. Something shorter and more con centrated waa absolutely necessary in ex-' treme cases. Not long afterwards she contest to me she had returned to her old favorite short but expressly expletlv. Re monstrance prevalld, and she agreed to compromise upon simplified spelling which eliminated the "v." Even with solid Pres byterian Scotsman today this render the word "Th Doll" wholly Innocuous. I beg to recommend It to troubled souls as yield ing more, at lea risk. ' than any remedy known. No oopyriu. Saint Andrews club, as w hav seen, ha two distinguished Dunfermline mem bers as its founders. There Is a third who Is : distinguished for being allowed more stroke in hi favor In match game than any other member of the club, but he shall he nameleaa. In conclusion, let us end our tribute to golf in th word a of Henry van Dyke' re cent poem, for It Is in the pur open air of heven alone that golf work Hs won der that make It the Joy of ardent youth, th tonic of sober middle life, th sooth ing refug of old ag: "For th comforting warmth of th sua mat my aooy embraces. For th cool of th water that run thru the shadowy places, For the balm of the breezes that brush my " face with their fingers. For the vesper hymn of the thrush when the .twilight lingers, For the long breth, the deep breth, the brsth of a hart without care I glv thainks and adore thee, Ood of the . open air!" FORT.JELLS OF HIS TRIP THROUGH YELLOWSTONE PARK Passenger Director of the Union Pa cific Makes Trip on First Stage Throagk Park. Gerrit Fort, passenger traffic manager of the Union Pacific, returned from a trip through Yellowstone park Saturday. Mr. Fort told about five feet of real snow through which his party passed in crossing the continental divide, between Yellowstone lake and Old Faithful geyser. The railroad man waa highly enthusiastic about the trip and declare that more Americans should go to Yellowstone park rather than to Europe In the summer. The stage which Mr. Fort rode on this trip was the first to enter the park this season. "The transportation facilities, both from the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific en trances to the park ar excellent, and the stage ride ar not so long a to cause dis comfort. On the last stage ride In the park, on of my fellow passenger waa a lady 77 years of age, and she told me that she felt stronger and better than on the day she started through th park. "Thi is a trip that every American should make. Strange to aay, the official records of th park show that 15 per oent of the visitor ar European.
