THE ORIGIN OF GOLF
Great Game Was First Played with Shepherds Crook and
Pebble

the rabbit scrape, so that the stones
might not jump out of it, they set
themselves to practice putting.
"The stronger but less skilled shep-
herd, finding himself worsted at the
amusement, protested that it was a
fairer test of skill to play for the
hole from considerable distance.
With this arranged, the game was
found to be much more varied and in
teresting. The sheep. having mean
while strayed, the shepherds had to
go after them.
"This proving an exceedingly. irk-
some interruption, they hit upon the
ingenious device of mailing 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 by means of tag of wool from
a sheep attached to stick, primi-
tive kind Of flag still used on many
greens, almost in it's original form.
Since, these early days the essentials
of the game have altered but little.'
The Cook County herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Minn.) 1893-1909, 1902-09-13

The man or woman who has become
interested in golf must needs know
something of it's origin over in Scot
land. In his book, 1.-THE Art Of Golf, :"
Sir w. G. Simpson tells the following
pretty story as to how the game had
it's beginning:
"a shepherd tending his sheep
would often chance upon a round peb-
BILE, and, having MS crook in his
hand, would strike it away; for it
is as inevitable that a man with a
stick in his hand should aim blow
at any loose object lying in his path
as that he should breathe. Over pas
lures green this led to nothing; but
once on a time a certain shepherd,
feeding his sheep on links, perhaps
that of st. Andrews, rolled one Of
these stones into a rabbit scrape.
Marry quoth he, I could not do
that if tried thought which nerved
him to the attempt. But a man can
not long persevere alone in any ardu-
Gus undertaking, so Mr.. Shepherd
hailed another, who was hard by, to
witness his endeavor. That is easy
said the friend, and, trying, failed.
They now searched the grass for the
roundest stones, and having deepened

played. The bandsmen put their whole
souls into their playing that day
and the melody sounded exceptionally
fine. Mr.. Lincoln's son, who was
standing on the White House steps
with his father, asked the PRESIDENT:
dad, what's the tune that regi-
mental band from Massachusetts is
playing?'
"Mr. Lincoln's fancy had been
caught by the air, too. He asked
Col. Willard about it, and, on learning
that it was his own. complimented
him on it.
"Millard died in New York about
three years ago, poor and practically
unknown. He was not buried with
military honors, for few remembered
his services to his country. But his;
memory will live in that song he
wrote. After the war he held an
Office in the custom house until Cleve.
lands second term, when he was dis
charged. He told me once that it was
through Lincoln's influence that he
got the job. I published another of
Millards compositions called When
the Tide Comes In but it will never
equal The Flag Of the Free in popu-
larity and endurance

Boon to Tortured Cattle,

for them to rid themselves of the
insect pests which annoy them, but
Nhen the animals are tied in the sta
Die there is little chance to swing
The head around to dislodge the flies
from the forward quarters, and so
the troublesome pests are free. to tor
ture the animals at will. 1t is the
object Of O. B. Gibson of Thayer, a.,
in designing the strange looking shed
here pictured to provide an apparatus
which will enable the cattle to rid
their bodies of the flies as they
enter the stable, the latter place pre-
sumably being fy-proof, as it ought to
be, at any rate. The shed has at it's
inner end a series of brushes, so ar.
ranged as to leave an oblong opening
much smaller than the body, in order
that the flies may be brushed off as
the animals pass through to gain
an entrance to the interior. During
the passage Of the COW the only place
from which light can enter the shed
! Is through the overhead chamber, to
which the insects fly as they are
brushed off. An automatic gate in
the shed opens and closes the en-
trance to this chamber with the pas
sage of each animal, thereby making

zone of the old patriotic songs that
has outlived most of it's competitors
and seems likely to last for all time
is The Flag of the Free" said a
music publisher, land it has a little
history of it's own. For one thing,
it was composed under circumstances
which ought to give it the right sort
of ring.
Harrison Willard composed it when
the civil war was at it's height. Mil
lard had enlisted in one Of the Massa-
chusetts volunteer regiments. He had
just returned from an extended tour
through Europe, where he had studied
music and had appeared as concert
singer. He fought bravely at the
front and rose to the rank of colonel;
and in odd moments he used to write
music. One day he finished a new
composition which he named The
Flag of the Free and gave it to the
regimental band to play It became
very popular with the men in the
regiment and at their request was
often played when they were on the
march.
when Harrison's regiment was re-
viewed at washington by President
Lincoln that was the air it's band
