Golf In the Old Days.

Centuries back golf was a pastime of the royal family. though then usu- ally played in Scotland. The Stuart family was very fond of the game, and the first English club was estab- lished at Blackheath in 1908 by James I. His eldest son, Henry, frequently played and on one occasion nearly struck by accident his tutor with a club, whercupon he coolly remarked, Had I done so I had but paid my debts" Charles I. was playing golf when he received the news of the Irish rebellion. James, duke of York, afterward James H., was another ardent player. Golf is frequently mentioned in ancient Scottish records and in the fifteenth century was pro- hibited because it interfered with the practice of archery. Strut cOnsid- cred it the most ancient game at ball requiring a bat.-London Standard.

Got the Train Stopped.

When the late Robert Bonner pur- chased Maud & he sent her to Char ter Oak park to be trained. One day a friend of Mir Bonner left New York to visit him at the park, but found that the train did not stop at that station. The conductor was polite, bCt said that he could not go against orders. At New Haven d halt was made. and MT BonIer's friend tried to Dribe the engineer with a ten dollar bill, but in vain. He was then told that Charles F. Clark, the president of the road. was on the train, and he went to him.
 "Why don't you see the conductor?" asked MT. Clark.
 Il have, but he will not disobey orders"
 "Why not then go forward an! bribe the engineer?'
 ''I tried bribery at New Haven, brt it would not work"
 The absence of evasion was tie best policy. MT. Clark not only gave orders to have the train stopped &t Charter Oak. but promised some day to see Maud $. He had witnessed tue attempt at bribery, and the frank con fessiOn of the offense seemed to please him.

Prepariac Fer 2 Journey.

Jerome k. Jerome recalled with rev- erence habit of his methodical uncle, who, before packing for journey, al- ways made a list" This was the system which he followed, gathered from his uncles own lips:
 Take a piece of paper and put down on it everything you can possibly re- Quire. Then go over it and see that it contains nothing you can possibly do without.
 Imagine yourself in bed. What have you got on? Very well; put it down, together with a change. You get up. What do you do? Wash yourself. What do you wash yourself with? Soap. Put down soap. Go on till you have finished. Then take your clothes. Begin at your feet. What do you wear on your feet? Boots, shoes, socks. Put them down. Work up till you get to your head. What do you want be- sides clothes? Put down everything.
 This is the plan the old gentleman always pursued. The list made, he would go over it carefully to see that he had forgotten nothing. Then he would go over it again and strike out everything it was possible to dispense with. Then he would lose the list.
