His high silk tile, .. . His gracious smile, His long frock coat, The checks he wrote, ' His stately air Made everywhere The feeling that he'd cornered fame And men should tremble at his name. One day he thought he would go down And visit in his old home town . .Where as a boy He had such joy, And of which he ...... With dignity , . ; "Would often speak. He spent a Aveek In his old home at Skimley ville And he is glooming o'er it still. 'They did not know that he was great, . " They only said he'd put on weight ; . .. ., Folks on the. street ... ., '. . Would call him "Pete," And ask him when H'd lost the wen That used to rise Between his eyes, And not a person was afraid To ask him how much wage he made. .They did not. know in Skimley ville What he'd attained through brains and skill; ' You've been away " The folks would say They had not heard Nor read a word. . - Nor could they guess Of his success And did not care what he had done, To them he was his daddy's son. From Skimleyville he has returned Wise in the lesson that he learned; That helpful week Has made him meek, - It was enough . To call his bluff; . He has returned With this truth learned : That wheresoe'er a man may roam He always stays the same at home. Chicago Evening Post, JLierbt. The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one ; Yet the light of the bright world dies With the dying sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one; Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done. UNIVERSAL RULE DESIRED HE Board of Governors of the Pinehurst Country cldb,in an effort to bring about a general observ ance of the United States Golf Association rules on courses in the Middle South and South where sand greens are used, adopted the the following resolution at a recent meet ing which the secretary has already given general publicity .: THE BRUSHING OF SAND GREENS. The new rules forbid brushing on the putting green, and we note with regret that most of the Green Committees at the winter resorts are inclined to disre gard the new ruling, and make local rules permitting brushing, lifting around irregularities, etc. After looking at the matter from every standpoint, and giving it a thorough and thoughtful consideration, we concluded to abolish this practice of i brushing and play the game strictly in accordance with the new rules. - , . Golf at the winter reports has ' now grown to be of such magnitude and im portance' that these resorts cannot, in our opinion, afford to longer retain these little, petty local rules, which- are not only not necessary, but which are not in keeping. with,the high, position, the game now occupies at the Southern resorts. The very fact of this prominence in the game should make the Green Committees steadf ast in their determination to ac .cept, the,. new rules in their entirety, Whenever it is possible to do so. Furthermore, if a player brushes for two or three months in the South, he forms a habit which is hard to break when he goes back to the grass greens in the North; ' ' - " ' We have been playing under- the new rules 'at Pinehurst since 'February 1st and hear nothing but approval from the good playtrs and very- few complaints from the mediocre. "Doing away with all this unnecessary brushing on the putting greens allows the matches to proceed here as they do on" the grass greens.' Waiting for four' careful play ers in a four-ball match to brush every foot for fifteen feet before putting, is certainly enough to make a good-natured man. dissatisfied with golf in the South. In order, however, to have yery little, if any, criticism, the greens are dragged with a carpet of tener than before about every eight minutes. We also; printed notices, requesting both the players and their caddies to smooth down any very noticeable heel marks or irregularities before leaving the green. In this way anything very bad is avoided,' and you khQw'even on theVbesT grass - green the line of putt is not always absolute per fection. Furthermore, we have proven by repeated experiments that a sand green pretty well marked up with heavy hobnails is just as true as a good glass green if the ball is firmly putted. We are inclined to believe that it would be for the good of the game and to the mutual pleasure and interest of all to play under the same conditions on these i sand greens. If a player is allowed to brush at one point and loses the hole for doing the same thing at another (and vice versa), it will simply mean criticism and dissatisfaction. Let us all show our appreciation of the revision of the rules and play the game in accordance with these rules in a way that will command the respect and approval of the golfing world from a true golfing standpoint. We sincerely hope this article will be accepted in the spirit in which it is writ ten. It has just one object in view the good of the grand old game.
