Sharps and Flats
S. M. M.

 ''sharps and Flats" with which the sweetest and most versatile of Arneri- can writers, Eugene Field, began de- lighting several hundred thousand readers of the Chicago News a little more than fifteen years ago, have been collected by the widi-w, Mrs. Julia Sutherland Field, and printed by Charles Scribner's Sons, in two hand- somely bound volumes, price $2.50 each. Nothing more beautiful has come out of the rattle of the machinery and grime of the printing room in recent years, and no dearer wish has been gratified than that of the readers of that errant swe:J Jtness, that it might sometime te collected into handy vol umas.
 Most American readers, most readers of the English language everywhere have read everything that Field has written, for all was so good that noth- ing could be permid.e1 to escape.
 Field has been called the childrep's poet. He was, and much more. But in those simplest lullabies there is a wonderful depth of philosophy which the most ambitious American poets
 
 been unable to attain and hardly ap- preach. For two reasons it is not won- dcrful that he succeeded where others failed, for chiId's philosophy is clear CT than a mans, muddled by investiga- tion and probing, and Field in his love was always a child.
 ''Sharrs and Flats necessarily abounds in wit. as Field was among =ti .ei1e hrIr1 iStc o- hiz time. It Is clad in a peculiarly schol- arly garb, for Field was a most finished scholar.
 There Is certain sweetness of style about his poetry which has puzzled many. It may be surprising to many of his admirers to learn that it was borrowed and adapted. Field was a great Horatian scholar. It has been said thaia he understood Horace better than any other man that ever lived It is not strange, therefore, that the strains of the most delightful of the Latin poets should now and then blend with those of Engene Field.
 It is not inopportune to quote from his "Christmas:" My little child comes to my knee. <AIu, Iu'SSlHS, pIeduS that ne Ildy cflIlD Into my lap to hear me tell
 The Christmas tales he loves SO we'll A tale my mother told to me, Beginning Once upon time
 
 This story CT the hallowed years Tells Of the sacrifice sublime
 Of One who prayed alone and wept
 While his awearied followers slept. And how his blood and Mary's tears COmmingled once upon a time. ''The migh.y deeds that men have told In ponderous tomes of fluent rhyme,
 Like misty shadows fade away;
 But this sweet story bides for aye, And like the stars that sang of old, We sing If Once upon a time"

The account of yesterdays water storage meeting as reported in the En- terprise of last evening was correct, except that Thr Republican has never and that the bill now under considera- tion by the storage committee was not prepared by the attorney for the water company. The Republican dots favor a county bonding bill, but it wants that bill endorsed by the committee se- lected by the people. We pin our faith on the combined wisdom and Judgment of that committee.

One of the oldest golf clubs in the world Is said to be the Royal Black
 heath Golf club, which THE was formed in 1908, and ANCIENT which was until quite
 AND recent times one of the HONORA- few golf clubs in Eng
 BILE land. Other golf clubs
 GAME. in the list of the oldest
 organizations are the Honourabln the Edinburg Company of Golfers, which dates back to 1744 the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. An drews, which was formed in 1755, and the Royal Musselburgh Golf Club, which was organized in 1774. The last three are Scottish clubs.
 According to many lovers of the game, there were up to 1879 only about seventeen golf clubs outside of Scot land. It is said that the schoolboys and young men in the neighborhood of Blackheath thirty years ago regarded the golfers then on Blackheath, with their red coats, as "old duffers," who were too old for cricket, and they look cd upon golf with something akin to contempt. In thn eyes of all young people the men who played and the caddies with red flags were curiosities. In Blackheath now nearly every person plays golf, and there are said to bp in England, Wales and Ireland 912 golf clubs.
