Vol. XI COL. "PONY" GIVES His Resort Is Joseph MAY LEAVE The Late Owner of Who is Reported Life Member of Ton's Negro Nation May Accompany Mexico. - In the From Business, Will Lose One of As stated in The Broad Ax of September 30, without the least malice or forethought, "that 'Col. Pony' Moore was the head and the front of that class of saloon keepers in the 'Red Light District' who had made up his mind that he was greater than the laws of this city, and that he would run his place at the present time and in the future as he has in the past, and as he would persist in his course in this respect and in order to make him obey the laws against gambling in his establishment his place was raided by the police several weeks prior to that date." In a very friendly way at that time we also informed Col. "Pony" "that he and his place were under the ban of the police authorities, that he was loading the dice against himself." With our advice before his eyes he rushed to several newspapers and proclaimed through their columns "that he would run his place to suit himself," and by giving expression to such sentiments caused Chief Collins and his "flying squadron" to shadow his place day and night, and the final result was that on Sunday morning, Nov. 5, the police swooped down upon his saloon and arrested him and a number of inmates. Col. "Pony" from afar off scented the raging storm approaching which was to be his undoing, and two or three days before it struck him with all its fury he rushed into Chief Collins' office, all out of breath, and stammered out, "Chief, I have been informed that you have sent for me." It is said that honest John M. Collins, who is determined to rid Chicago of its criminal classes, wheeled around in his chair, at the same time looking Col. "Pony" straight in the eye, replied in a firm voice, "Mr. Moore, I did not send for you; I do not want to see you, and when I want you I will send the Blue wagon after you." A few days after that scene was enacted in Chief Collins' office, Inspector P. J. Lavin intimated to his superior officer "that in his judgment Col. 'Pony' Moore's license ought to be revoked; that he was very loth to observe the city ordinances." Aside from the recommendation of Inspector Lavin, Chief Collins, before deciding to take the final step, made further investigation, and in doing so he became thoroughly convinced that that was the proper thing to do. Then he consulted with Mayor Dunne, and the dead was done and Col. "Pony" was unhorsed and separated from his license. Col. "Pony," through his friend and head attorney, Major Franklin A. Denison, who could if he would write an in- teresting story in connection with Miss V.—S.,— put up a stiff fight for the purpose of recovering his license, but without success, and as his race had been run and lost he has been forced or compelled to give up the ghost and with the clipping of his wings and with the loss of his influential friends at court, he fully realized that for the first time in many years he was up against the real thing, and with this indisputable fact staring him in the face, the first of the present week he transferred all of his right, title and interest in his resort to a white gentleman by the name of Joseph Marshall, who has been conducting a saloon in Plymouth place near Polk street, and it is rumored that the late owner of the famous Turf Exchange, whose unsavory police record will reach from Chicago to New York City and back again to the starting point, "may accompany his bosom friend, Mr. Daniel M. Jackson, to Mexico and begin life over again in that country, at least while Mr. Jackson remains there as the able representative of the United States. It is reported on good authority "that while Col. 'Pony' was in attendance at the late meeting of Booker T. Washington's so-called Negro National Business League, which met in New York City last August, that he was honored with a conspicuous seat on the platform, and that the great wizard of Tuskegee who looks at all things through the commercial eye, was tickled near unto death to have the distinguished honor of enrolling the name of Col. 'Pony' Moore as a life member of his League." With the passing of Col. "Pony" Moore as a factor in the "Red Light District" Major Franklin A. Denison will lose one of his very best clients and several of the high officers of the Eighth Regiment Illinois National Guards, and other prominent Afro-American business men and politicians will be compelled to seek new rendezvous in which to spend their leisure time and money. In the near future William, or "Bill" Lewis, who has sense enough to conduct a buffet corner 21st and Armour avenue without being raided by the police three or five times each month, may be induced under oath to abed some light on the life and history of Col. "Pony" Moore. James M. Markham, the painstaking and efficient secretary to Chief of Police John M. Collins, and Mrs. Markham returned home Wednesday from a two weeks' vacation trip spent in Richmond, Va., and other sections of that state. They greatly enjoyed their southern tour, and while absent Mr. Markham visited several of the large Colored schools in the Old Dominion and he was delighted to note the progress being made on the part of the pupils. CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 25, 1905 J. ALDERMAN THOMAS CAREY. Chairman of the Democratic CountyCentral Committee, who would make an ideal candidate for Sheriff of Cook County in 1906, stands ready at any time to sign our bond from $500, on up to $500,000, and otherwise assist us in our fight against the disruptive characters who would delight to crush out The Broad Ax. On this eve of another Thanksgiving when all Christendom is preparing to render thanks to Almighty God for His bounteous mercy the Triangle and Inner Circle Clubs make their final appeal to the members of our race in behalf of those old folks who abide in the Home for Aged and Inform Colored people; now is there any of us, no matter how high or how low, how rich or how poor, who has something to be thankful for—if it be only Hope. In presenting this appeal we can find no better theme than the closing lines of Mrs. Snowden's letter published in the Chicago Leader of Nov. 18th. "Let us consider the entertainment our, this institution and its work, ours, its permanency and success ours." Therefore the responsibility our own." We feel greatly encouraged in the success of the result of our efforts, not only by the money that is pouring in from both races of our citizens, but by the zealous co-operation of wealthy and influential patronesses both white and colored. Too much praise cannot be given to both press and pulpit for by voice and pen they have wkened an enthusiasm in this work never known before. Not only are individuals alive to this object, but organizations—both male and female. The churches and the public schools have made this cause their own. God helps those who help themselves. There are hundreds of philanthropists—white citizens—who but await to see in what regard we hold our own institutions. Let us by one concentrated effort show that we not only know our duty but have the pride and determination to do it. We have modestly set the sum of the endowment we hope to raise at $5,000. It requires no financier to tell that this sum is inadequate to the real needs of the institution. The colored population of this city may be roughly estimated at fifty thousand. Could we raise a sum equal to 25 cents spice we should have the sum of $12,500. And could we show this sum we are satisfied we could double the amount in six months. As has been stated the normal expense of promoting an entertainment at the Armory is $400, but this amount will be greatly exceeded when one realizes the grand scale upon while this entertainment is to be given. The Grand March under calcium light effect will be one of the grandest spectacles ever witnessed. The First Regiment Armory needs no description. It has one of the best floors for lovers of dancing in the West. Its commodious galleries afford seats for 5000 people, while the decorations under the great electric lights as seen from these galleries will be one of betwitching beauty. The music for this occasion is all of the latest and of high class affording a grand concert well worthy of the price of admission. Realizing that thousands of our citizens according to their Christian training have scruples against dancing we have made provisions in order that every one may contribute from their bounty or from their mite to this most worthy charity. Mr. Frank W. Smith, cashier of the Corn Exchange National Bank, in the Rookery Building is Treasurer for this fund. We earnestly request that donations no matter how small be sent to him by check or Money Order. All cheques or Money Orders should be drawn in favor of Frank W. Smith, but the letters and their enclosures should be addressed to W. H. Jackson 432 35th st., Secretary, to insure the money being credited to the proper fund. The Triangle and Inner Circle Clubs have no quarrel with any man or organization of men. They feel that the field is broad enough for all, and the object sufficient to broaden their magnanimity into a feeling of "peace on earth, good-will to men."

She is Afraid That the Privileges About to be Granted Will Encroach Upon Her Commercial Rights in Liberia and Elsewhere in Africa. - Wants Other Powers to Protest. Washington, Nov. 19.—The difficulties which may fall to the lot of Liberia, the Black Republic of Africa, through her reported arrangement with Great Britain and France, by which these two nations will control the fiscal affairs and the development of the country, have not been given any serious consideration by this Government. According to statements obtained here to-day the United States would find justification for interference only in an act of coercion against Liberia on the part of any great nation. In the present instance, however, the Liberian Government, it is explained, has voluntarily entered into certain arrangements with England and France, or is about to enter into them, and the administration at Washington does not, therefore, feel called upon to enter any protest or take an active part in international exchanges which Germany is seeking to bring about. The German Government has made inquiry of the Washington Government as to its views in regard to the arrangement between Liberia on the one hand and England, and France on the other, with the evident wish to secure the co-operation of Powers not concerned in the English-French affair, to prevent the consummation of the reported agreement. Germany, it is understood, has not made any actual protest, but the character of her note of inquiry, which has been addressed to other Governments that of the United States, indicates that she fears the privilege which France and England are evidently about to secure will encroach upon Germany's commercial and other rights in Liberia and elsewhere in Africa.—The New York Journal. HERE IS A "HOWDY-DO?" Julius F. Taylor, Chicago Editor The Broad Ax Well Mr. Editor, you can get out your silk plug hat, put it on airlily, (a little tipped to one side to make you look "easy"), you can draw on your gloves and with your gold-headed walking can sally forth and strut around and gas, for The Broad Ax: "has started a tremendous row in International affairs and the Kaiser is again restive about France in Africa. He has appealed to the United States. Here are the facts of this affair. The readers of The "Broad Ax" will remember, certain letters which your gramatistic enterprise allowed a prominent place, on the front page, of the paper, entitled "The Afro-French Alliance." Among other subjects touched upon in those letters, was the importance of Liberia placing herself under the protection of the flag of the French Republic as a just rebuke to the race—barbarism spirit of the United States. It appears that some intelligent and self-respecting Afro-American in whom Booker Washington's principle of race degrading work, has distributed The "Broad-Ax" in Paris and in Liberia and the result is a treaty No.5 The political stock of the New York Age, the Richmond Planet and "The Broad Ax." has suddenly leaped at one bound to the permanent quotation mark of two hundred per cent premiums. The way the American politicians and Catholic Priests will now hustle for the Negro vote will bring back the memories of the old days when Mark Hanna, and Archbishop Ireland planned to run the American Government with the aid of T. Thomas Fortune. And now comrade Taylor, here is to the sacred memory of Wendell Phillips, and Charles Summer. Hats off, CHARLES GANO BAYLOR.

COCKTAIL AT THREE FORKS Decoction That Was Too Much for Cowboys and the Mixer Had ‘to Drink It “I was standing in the barroom in a resort at Three Forks,” sid a travel- ing man, “waiting for the proprietor to arrive, in the hope of placing small order. While I was waiting, ‘two cowboys, wrapped in fur coats, their own dignity and a reputation as the top riders of the country which stretches away toward the head of ‘Willow Creek, came into the saloon and, marching up to the bar, demand- ed a cocktail. ‘The bartender looked nonplussed for a moment, but he was not to be shut out, 80 he grabbed the biggest glass he could find behind the bar and immediately got busy. If there was anything there he missed putting into that glass, from the gilt and pepper sauce used to flavor the beer, to the snippings from the ends of the cigars which he found in the cigar cutter, I could not see {t, and. when he had finally finished he had two big bee> glasses full of the mixture. “The boys both tasted the beverage, and it did not taste good. Each had unlimbered a big gun and, playfully toying with the weapons, they sug- gested that the bartender drinke his own mixture. It required some per- suasion, but finally, to avoid trouble, he swallowed the contents of both glasses. ‘Now, make your will, you ‘would-be poisoner,’ shouted the punch- ers, and solemnly they put their guns back where they belonged, treated the house to the cigars and faded away into the distance, their horses hitting only the high spots as they disap- peared up the valley. “And I tell you, the impromptu bar- tender had good occasion to make his will. For three or four hours he was the sickest man I ever saw, and it took the services of a doctor, who worked over him for an hour or two, to bring him back to life again.” CASTE IN THE KITCHEN. Case of a Cook Who Couldn’t Afford ‘to Reside on Just a Plain ‘Street. ‘The Lindsay family was moving out of the old house on an avenue into a new house on a fashionable street. At that critical period the Lindsay cook gave notice of leaving. The mistress was in despair, for the cook was a model one, and had lived with them for years, relates the Chicago Record- Herald. “It will be so much more convenient in the new house, Nora, and we have depended on you so long I don't see how we can part with you now. At Jeast tell me why you are going?” Mrs. Lindsay pleaded. “Well, mem, I have @y own reputa- tion to look after.” answered Nora, “and if I went agin the rules of the Intelligence sassiety I-belongs to they wouldn't give me a reecond in the best houses, an’ then I'd be down and out— see?” “No, I don't see,” retorted her mis tress, “tell me exactly why you are gtving up a place that has always suited you for an uncertainty.” “Sure, mem, it's because of the mov- ing. You are going to live on a street.” “Yes; wone of the finest in the city.” “An’ I've always lived on @ avenue, mem.

Literary men sur- pass themselves thera, “John Bunyan wrote ‘Pilgrim's Prog- ress’ in jail. “Cervantes wrote ‘Don Quixote’ in prison. “Defoe laid the plans for “Robinson Crusoe’ during a term of confinement imposed on him for the writing of a pamphlet called ‘The Shortest Way with the Dissenters.” “Leigh Hunt wrote ‘Rimint’ in jail. “Sir Water Raleigh, during his 14 years’ imprisonment in the tower of London, wrote his excellent ‘History of the World.” “Bilvio Pellico and Tasso both did ‘their best work in jail.” Ghee tm Genin ‘There are about 10,000,000 of migrat- ory sheep in Spain, which each year| travel some 200 miles from the plains| to the mountains.

DOG PROUD OF CLOTHES. Canine That Is Very Much Dis- tressed When Deprived of Correct Apparel. ‘There is a dog in Augusta whe dresses just like a man, wearing the regulation coat, vest, collar and cravat and is very proud of his apparel, seem- ingly, being very much distressed and ‘ashamed whenever his busy master does not have time to rig him up in his clothes, reports the Augusta (Ge.) Chronicle. “It there are any who are “from Missouri,” they may be satisfied by calling at a blacksmith shop on Ellis street, near the city hall, where they can be introduced to him by his mas ter, George Bailey, a negro employe of the smithy. He wears them with a conscious dig- nity and is hugely delighted when any- one stops to notice his attire and com- ment thereon. He will gaze intently ‘at each speaker and joyously wag his tail when complimented upon his ap- pearance. It is not known what whim induced the blacksmith to thus clothe his ca- nine pet “in all points like as we are.” But he certainly devised the dog's dress most ingeniously. No detail is wanting. The cut of his coat is after the latest mode—has pockets, too— the collar 1s nicely laundered and the cravat is tied with correct smartness. ‘The first thing in the morning he must be properly dresséd, or else he whines piteously. After he has been elothed according to his usual custom his joy knows no bounds, and he dis plays his pleasure with much bark- ing and wagging of his tail.

So lost in indifference is this village that the vicar, the Rev. W. M. Ding- well, has thrown up the cure of the parish in despair, says a recent Lon- don report. “I have worked hard here for nearly three years,” said the vicar, in an in- terview, “and it seems largely in vain. T have spoken to the people personally ‘ard have implored them to come to church, but they will not do it. “No effort, either spiritual or ma- terial, no concert, whether high-class ‘or extremely ‘popular,’ no branch of church activity that I have been able to devise or carry on will induce thé People of Hook to come to church. “There is a population of 1,700 peo- ple, but many of them absolutely re- fuse to attend church. In fact, only 200 out of the 1,700 have attended church, and some of these even are not ‘Hook people. “The fact is that the village is spir- Itually asleep. They do not go to non- conformist places of worship, nor do they go golfing or motoring. They have simply gone to sleep and they do ‘not give a thought to spiritual things.” ‘The vicar has now departed for the West Indies on holiday voyage. Some of the more enlightened inhab- Itants of “Pagan Hook” are taking ‘around a large memorial paper asking Christian and pagan alike to sign an ‘earnest entreaty to the reverend gen- Geman @ retern to them. THE FUR-LINED OVERCOAT. ‘Dressy Gentleman Will Carry the ) Garment Inside Out on ‘His Arm. The precise and high-priced tailor drew a chalk picture on the customer who was “trying on,” relates the Prov- idence Journal, stuck three pins in him and said: “The most radical change in gar- ments for gentlemen for winter wear this year will come in the furlined overcoat. We have been driven to it by @ detachable fur collar which has made its appearance and which can be fastened on to the permanent collar of @ $16 ready-made topcoat in a way that will puzzle an expert to detect its on and off features. Of course, that kills the fur collar for the righ and ‘dressy’ gentleman who has a genuine fur coat. We shall make the collar of the expensive coat of the same ma- terial as the cloth of the coat, or of velvet, cut a little wider than the col- lar of the ordinary coat. “And muffs will not be sewed on the Sleeves of the first-class fur-lined coat this season. They were always sug- gestive of the crushed tragedian.” “How will people know that ‘dressy’ ‘and wealthy gentlemen have fur-lined coats?” inquired the custodian, anxi- ously. |, They will carry them inside out oz their arms,” replied the precise tailor. | ‘Wat the Clam Clam diggers are predicting @ cold winter because the clags are burrow- ing deep.

CLIMBING STAIRS. ‘Remember the Exercise Is Most Bene ficial When the Right Methods Are Observed. Stair-climbing can never ¥e made s0 éasy that it will cease to be work, and hence a certain amount of it daily is sure to be beneficial, says Mary Butler, in the Philadelphia Press. First, stair-climbing is fine exercise for the muscles of the legs, both for the high flexors and thigh and knee ex- ‘tensors, and if judiciously used as a daily exercise it will tend to develop the muscles of the leg and thigh, reducing ‘at the same time any superfluous flesh ‘that may have settled there through ‘lack of proper use. Hence we use lad- der-climbing exercises in the gymna- sium for all such cases. Second, stair-climbing when done ‘slowly, becomes excellent balance work ‘and is good for the brain. To increase this mental effect in the gymnasium we use ladder rounds instead of steps and ‘the slower a pupil can walk up the ‘finer the balance and the stronger the desired effect. Third, stair-climbing is good work for heart and lungs; weak hearts may be strengthened by judicious lessons in it, no other apparatus being necessary than one’s own footsteps. In all stair or ladder work the weight ts not only transferred from one foot to the other in succession more or less rap- fd, as in the walk, but the whole body- weight is lifted from one step to Trotter by the first leg and then the other, and this means quite heavy work ‘at times. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds “and with the right foot step up one step (that step being exactly 12 inches high), you have lifted your Gody-weight of 150 pounds exactly one foot higher; or, a8 we say, you have done 150 “foot- “pounds” of work. If the step chances ‘to be 24 inches high, then having lifted ‘yourself two feet you have done ‘twice as. much work, or 300 foot ‘pounds. ‘Thus, when you, weighing just 100 pounds, climb ten stairs, each step only 12 inches high, yeu have done Just 1,000 foot pounds of work, good strong, muscular work that if done well ‘will surely do you good and if done bad- ly may injure. Do you stout ladies wonder any long- er at your breathless condition when after eating a hearty dinner you climb to the third-story front room to také your afternoon nap? Do you not see that with every step you must do from one-half as much again to twice as much work as your wiry little neigh- dor? ‘You have no right to run up just be- cause you can trip up one filght and not feel it. You perforce must take it slowly and should rest after each flight of steps, at least till the breath- ing becomes quiet and regular once more. Believe me, instead of being bad for you, stair-climbing taken slowly and Properly will do you good, strength- ‘ening the muscles of legs, abdomen and spine, stimulating the heart and lungs, clearing the brain, aiding the cireula- tion and thus improving the digestion; jut there is a correct and am incor- rect way of climbing stairs, a hard and an easy one, a safe and a dangerous aa. A CASE FOR THE PIPES. A Quite Effective Finck May Be Made at Home and Not Involve Much Outlay. Either a piece of board or very stout cardboard should be used for the foun- dation of this rack; it should then be covered with art serge, cloth or vel- veteen. The foundation may, of course, be made any size to hold any number of pipes, but for one such as we illus- trate, about 15 inches in length and eight in depth will be sufficient. The covering shouid be cut with one-inch turnings, which may be glued down at the back of the foundation. Trim the PIPE RACK. edge with any pretty furniture gal- loon, or else sew a silk cord round. A good firm ribbon, rather more than an inch wide, should be used for the strap; it is caught down to the cov- ering by a few firm stitches at regular intervals. If wood is used aoe foundations, small brass tacks be used for fixing this instead of sew; ing; finish each end by a bow of rib- bon, sew ribbon to each end to form a loop to hang it up by; in the center of this loop put a bow. ‘Relaxed Facial Muscles.

Diminishing Number Ex-Confederates in Congress—Passing of Distinct Southern Type—Home Spirit in Middle West. ASHINGTON—President Roosevelt has his annual message completed, a finely engrossed copy ready for filing away and carefully typewritten copies, tied with ribbon, to be presented to the house and senate and read before those bodies and ASHINGTON. President Roosevelt has his annual message completed, a finely engrossed copy ready for filing away and carefully typewritten copies, tied with ribbon, to be presented to the house and senate and read before those bodies and about 10,000 copies printed and ready for distribution as soon as the important document has been read in congress. This is probably the most important message the president has ever sent to congress and is the longest. It contains from 20,000 to 25,000 words, which is an unusually lengthy communication for an executive to send to congress. As the country knows pretty generally, Mr. Roosevelt makes railway legislation the chief feature of his message. When congress adjourned last winter without doing anything on this subject the president announced that he would take every opportunity to keep it alive and he has done so. In his own speeches he has told very clearly what he will ask congress to do and Secretary of War Taft and Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, former attorney general, have aided in promulgating the administration policy. The president proposes that congress authorize the interstate commerce commission or some other governmental body to declare when a railroad rate is unreasonable and then to fix a rate which is reasonable. The railroads are to be given recourse to the federal courts if they are not satisfied. The president will treat of a great number of subjects in his message in addition to railroad matters, prominent among them being federal control of insurance companies, the Santo Domingan treaty, the Panama canal, preserving the Niagara falls, our relations with foreign governments, but it is said he will not have any observations to make on the tariff. Retirement of Senator Blackburn. NE of the results of the recent elections, it is said will be the retirement of Senator Jo Blackburn, of Kentucky. His term expires in 1907, but the contest this fall has shown that the control of the legislature is in danger of passing NE of the results of the recent elections, it is said, will be the retirement of Senator Jo Blackburn, of Kentucky. His term expires in 1907, but the contest this fall has shown that the control of the legislature is in danger of passing away from his friends. Senator Blackburn is one of the old-time southern orators and a man of unique character and manners. He will be greatly missed if the wheel of politics should throw him out of public life. Blackburn served for ten years in the hpuse and most of his reputation he made for oratory was achieved in that body. He was then in the prime of life and vigor and his fine resonant voice was frequently heard in debate. He was never known for the profundity of his arguments, but he had a way of speaking that was impressive. He is one of those orators who can take a self-evident proposition and restate it in complex sentences so as to make it appear as an entirely new discovery and something of wonderful meaning and depth. He could argue on the floor of the senate for five minutes that two and two make four and to the ordinary listener it would sound as though he were demonstrating a most abtrue problem. The Kentucky senator is one of the diminishing number of ex-confederates now in congress. He served all through the war in the confederate army and has an excellent record for bravery. He served two terms in the senate, beginning in '85 and then was retired for four years when the republicans controlled the legislature, but in 1900 succeeded former Senator William Lindsey, who had turned gold democrat in '96 and refused to support Bryan in 1900. New leaders have sprung up in Kentucky, however, and Mr. Blackburn is said to be slated for retirement. He will have reached within one year of the scriptural limit of life of three score and ten when his term expires. The Old Southerners T HE retirement of Senator Blackburn reduces still further the group of senators from the south who have in these modern days retained many of the characteristics and mannerisms ante-bellum days. The death of Senator, Bate, of Tennessee, last spring removed an old-time and old-style southerner from public life. There are not a great many of this type left. Money, of Mississippi; Morgan and Pettus, of Alabama; Berry, of Arkansas; McCreary, of Kentucky; and McBary, of Louisiana, are about all who could now be classed as typical southernners in dress and manners, with the exception of Bailey, of Texas, a comparatively young man, who affects even more than his seniors the old-style southern dress. This uniform is the long-skirted black coat, low-cut vest and black slouched hat. The other senators from the south cannot be distinguished from their northern colleagues and look, for the most part, like prosperous business men and usually attend the sessions of the senate dressed in business clothes. On state occasions the whole senate dresses in the black Prince Albert coat, although the cut of the garments worn by the old southerners is not so stylistic as that of the other members. This uniformity of black, closely-buttoned frock coat adds very much to the appearance of the senate and the body seems to lose some of its dignity when in every day routine of work senators appear in sack coats, cutaways and other styles of garments of various colors. Another decade will probably see the last of the ante-bellum type of southerner in Washington. The numerous railroads that bind the south to the north and the interchange of commerce has done wonders in amalgamating the sections and destroying the distinctive types of citizens. This is nowhere so apparent as in the congress of the United States, where men from the most remote sections of the south and west meet. Our "Home" Country. T HE great Mississippi valley and the middle west is becoming the section of American homes," said Mr. Babcock, of Wisconsin, the other day in commenting on the changes that are being worked by the increasing population of the coun- try. It had been suggested that the American people were not a home people. The ancestral homes of England, about which poets have sung, do not abound in this country, and even in the old settlements of the east comparatively few homesteads are found where more than one generation has lived. On this point Mr. Babcock declared that the middle west, the great states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and others, were now the great home country of America. "Out in this delightful section," said Mr. Babcock, "you find the home spirit more deeply established than in the rich and prosperous east. In many of these states you find a strong German element, and wherever that is you find the love of home and the ambition to found a home that will remain in the same family for generations. Of course the country is too new to show any very long established homesteads, but I can point to you in my own state and in adjoining states scores and hundreds of places where the head of the household established himself 30, 40 and 50 years ago and where the original estate has been preserved, a substantial house built and occupied first by the original owner and then by his oldest son, while surrounding the homestead are the homes of other children of the family. There are many of these patriarchial establishments and in them I think you will find the hope for the stability and conservatism necessary to a safe government." It is not known whether Mr. Babcock has followed the example of the good people whom he describes, but he has purchased enough homes in Washington to insure places for all his heirs if they wish to locate here. "Wise Man of the East." W ASHINGTON has within its borders this winter a very distinguished East Indian in the person of Mr. Ramanathan, his Brittanic majesty's solicitor general of the island of Ceylon. In the religious life of India Mr. Ramanathan is classified as a Jnana Yogi, which means literally, "a wise man of the east." This title will insure him great consideration at the national capital. This distinguished personage, lawyer, statesman and philosopher was invited to this country by a number of American scholars and students who are interested in the religion and philosophy of the orient. He expects to deliver a few public and a number of private lectures while here. He comes from a long line of high-caste Hindus and his family for many generations have been the leaders of Ceylon in wealth, education and social requirements. He is reputed to be the best equipped Hindu lawyer in southern India. The position of Mr. Ramanathan and his family in the religious life of Ceylon has been even more important than in the secular. His father erected the chief temple or cathedral of Colombo in which six daily services are performed, besides the monthly festivities. He has made a life study of various religions, with a view of reaching a harmony of the eastern and western religious ideals. He has made a critical and expensive study of the Christian Scriptures in addition to the sacred books of the Hindu religion. While in Washington this winter he will endeavor to find time to translate into English the original Sanscrit and Tamil, the celebrated Indian epics, known as "The Maha-Bharats" and the "Ramayana," which are considered the gems of the spiritual literature of the Aryan race. TO RENOVATE OLD MUFF. Muffs are to be purchased in every kind of fur and in a variety of patterns and shapes, and are very largely used, but the adjoining sketch shows an excellent idea for the renovation of an old one, which can be built upon so as to look completely new, the worn-out muff merely serving as a foundation for a fresh outside. The old lining must first be removed. The interlacing strips depicted might be of one of the many kinds of velvet now to be obtained, such as miroir, THE DIFFERENT PARTS. panne or chiffon velvet. The latter would be particularly effective, especially if two shades were employed. Each of these strips, measuring about nine inches wide, should be turned in at the edges and tacked invisibly. They should then be gathered at each end and sewn transversely to the muff from right to left with one shade, and then should be threaded in and out in the opposite direction with the other shade. Five strips of each would be needed. Purple and mauve, or two shades of gray or green would look extremely well; but if only one shade were preferred, brown, mouse or gray should be selected. A frill of ribbon lined with the other shade decided upon is then sewn in, and peeping from beneath this should be a frill of cream lace—the real old lace, if possible, but if not obtainable, then one of those varieties which so cleverly imitate it. Finally, place in position the lining. Materials required: Five yards ribbon, four inches wide; two yards velvet, on the cross; two and a half yards lace, one-half yard ponge for lining. SOCIAL REQUIREMENTS. What Constitutes the Ideal Hostess and About the Proper Selection of Dinner Guests. The ideal hostess will possibly differ from the points of view of different minds, but she who comes nearest to satisfying every taste will cause all guests to feel at ease and perfectly at home while in her house. She must possess great tact and endeavor to make each one feel individually the favored guest. She must be quick to see everything while seeming to see nothing, never looking bored and keeping the conversational ball rolling without any apparent effort or even seeming to do so. An ideal hostess must be entirely unselfish and let no one be alighted or overlooked. Now that vacation days are over and the world has returned from the summer outing which has possibly been spent in the woods or where much freedom in behavior is allowed, be careful to modulate the voice and tone down actions to fit city life and customs. No right-thinking mother wishes her son to choose a boisterous, flippant wife, so be careful that your love of fun and the summer's freedom do not lead you too far. As we have so often repeated, be kind and thoughtful and "do unto others as you would that they should do to you." A visiting card may be used for informal invitations. No call is necessary after a tea or afternoon reception, though very often at home days are given in the invitation to a large reception when a call is quite in order. These at home days are often as elaborately prepared for as the original reception with a caterer, but it is perfectly admissible to have the serving done by the house servants. Many times a caterer's service is employed to relieve the regular help, who have all they can do in the daily routine, without anything additional. It is necessary to be most careful in choosing your guests for a dinner party that they should be congenial. Not necessarily friends or even acquaintances, but whose tastes are similar, otherwise your dinner will not be a success. To make it so the conversation must be pleasant and sustained and a good story-teller is a great assistance. Art of Tea Making Practice the art of tea making when you are all alone. Take a cup of tea and pass it across the table. See if you can do it without forgetting anything and without upsetting it. Then try to do it and to listen at the same time. Pretend you are holding a conversation. Don't look at the cup too steadily. Practice tea making until you can do it without more than glancing at the cup. It is easy. And when you have learned it—be you rich or poor, a great hostess or a small one—you will have acquired a pretty art which will serve you in good stead all your life. Even when you are a great mother of it will come in good, for a cup of tea from an elderly person is not only a very graceful compliment, but a very great one. Keep Mouth Clean. The mouth being the gateway to the entire system, as a prominent physician puts it, the matter of absolute cleanliness here cannot be made too important.
