# Who's Who in India Supplement 1 (1912)/Her Majesty's Purdah Party

HER MAJESTY'S PURDAH PARTY
On the morning of 13th December Her Majesty the Queen-Empress held a Purdah Party, at which over one hundred of the leading Maharanis, Ranis and other ladies of India were present. Her Majesty conversed freely with her guests in the most kindly manner, and the distinguished ladies departed absolutely delighted with their reception. On this occasion, as at other times when appearing in public in India. Her Majesty wore the magnificent emerald brooch presented to her on the previous Saturday by the Maharanis ​of India, and Her Majesty in thanking them for their gift made the following reply :
"The beautiful spirit of your welcome affects me deeply, and I trust that those who meet me here to-day will themselves accept and convey to the sisterhood of this great Empire my warm thanks for their gentle greeting of sincere homage. I desire to assure you all of my ever-increasing solicitude for the happiness and welfare of those who live within the walls'.
"The pages of history have set forth what splendid influences for good can be brought to bear in their homes by the women of India, and the annals of its noble races are coloured by acts of devoted fealty and magnificent service as the fruits of the lessons instilled by mothers in the hearts and minds of their children. I have learnt with deep satisfaction of the evolution which is gradually but surely taking place among the inmates of the purdah, and I am convinced that you all desire to encourage education among your children so that they may grow up fitted to become useful and cultivated companions for their future husbands.
"The jewel you have given me will ever be very precious in my eyes, and, whenever I wear it, though thousands of miles of land and sea separate us, my thoughts will fly to the homes of India and bring back again and again this happy meeting and recall the love your tender hearts have yielded to me. Your jewel shall pass to the future generations as an Imperial Heirloom, and shall always stand as the token of the first meeting of the English Queen with the ladies of India. I thank you for your congratulations and for the good wishes expressed by you towards the King-Emperor and myself, and join my prayers to yours for the strength, unity, and well- being of the Empire."

U.S. Customs Investigation Recovers $1.2 Million from Investment Swindle
Phoenix, Ariz. -- A U.S. Customs Service task force investigation of Arizona businessman Benjamin Franklin Cook has resulted in the recovery of $1,215,000 from the Church of Scientology. The money had been donated to the Church by Cook's business, Dennel Finance Limited. The church returned the funds to a federal receiver representing victims of Cook's investment scam. The money will be returned to investors who were swindled by Cook. The Church of Scientology has not been accused of wrongdoing.
The investigation of Cook was initiated in February 1999 after the U.S. Customs Service received information from the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC). The ACC received several complaints from individuals who were dissatisfied with their investments in Dennel Finance.
Based on the ACC information, a task force consisting of Customs, the Arizona Department of Public Safety, and the Arizona Attorney General's Office launched an intensive investigation of Cook and his company. The investigation resulted in the seizure of $9,284,300 in currency; $15,540,800 in real estate; and $1,165,095 worth of vehicles, boats, planes, and gold. The majority of the seized items have been turned over to a court appointed receiver for the purpose of victim restitution.
Under the investment scam, Cook told investors that he would guarantee a return of at least 2 percent a month, with a minimum investment of $100,000. Cook told investors that their money would be placed in high-yield prime bank instruments held by foreign banks. The investigation revealed that no such investment avenues existed. The investigation also revealed that none of the money collected by Cook could be linked to a legitimate investment.
On August 23, 2000, Cook was indicted by an Arizona State grand jury on 37 counts of fraud, theft and illegally conducting an enterprise. The indictment alleges that Cook, through his company, collected some $41 million from more than 300 investors. Cook currently is incarcerated in Dallas, Tex., on a contempt-of-court charge for refusing to comply with an order issued by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas relating to the disposition of additional assets owned by Cook.

### IX. Time goes by Turns

Dar’s a pow’ful rassle ’twix de Good en de Bad,  En de Bad’s got de all-under holt; En w’en de wuss come, she come i’on-clad,  En you hatter hol’ yo’ bref for de jolt.
But des todes de las’ Good gits de knee-lock,  En dey draps ter de groun’—ker flop! Good had de inturn, en he stan’ like a rock,  En he bleedzd for ter be on top.
De dry wedder breaks wid a big thunder-clap,  For dey ain’t no drout’ w’at kin las’, But de seasons w’at whoops up de cotton crap,  Likewise dey freshens up de grass.
De rain fall so saf’ in de long dark night,  Twel you hatter hol’ yo’ han’ for a sign, But de drizzle w’at sets de tater-slips right  Is de makin’ er de May-pop vine.
In de mellerest groun’ de clay root ’ll ketch  En hol’ ter de tongue er de plow, En a pine-pole gate at de gyardin-patch  Never ’ll keep out de ole brindle cow.
One en all on us knows who’s a pullin’ at de bits  Like de lead-mule dat g’ides by de rein, En yit, somehow or nudder, de bestest un us gits  Mighty sick er de tuggin’ at de chain.
Hump yo’se’f ter de load en fergit de distress,  En dem w’at stan’s by ter scoff, For de harder de pullin’, de longer de res’,  En de bigger de feed in de troff.

### IV. Turnip Salad as a Text

As Uncle Remus was going down the street recently he was accosted by several acquaintances.
“Heyo!” said one, “here comes Uncle Remus. He look like he gwine fer ter set up a bo’din-house.”
Several others bantered the old man, but he appeared to be in a good humor. He was carrying a huge basket of vegetables.
“How many er you boys,” said he, as he put his basket down, “is done a han’s turn dis day? En yit de week’s done commence. I year talk er niggers dat’s got money in de bank, but I lay hit ain’t none er you fellers. Whar you speck you gwineter git yo’ dinner, en how you speck you gwineter git ’long?”
“Oh, we sorter knocks ’roun’ an’ picks up a livin’,” responded one.
“Dat’s w’at make I say w’at I duz,” said Uncle Remus. “Fokes go ’bout in de day-time an’ makes a livin’, an’ you come ’long w’en dey er res’in’ der bones an’ picks it up. I ain’t no han’ at figgers, but I lay I k’n count up right yer in de san’ en number up how menny days hit’ll be ’fo’ you ’er cuppled on ter de chain-gang.”
“De ole man’s holler’n now sho’,” said one of the listeners, gazing with admiration on the venerable old darkey.
“I ain’t takin’ no chances ’bout vittles. Hit’s proned inter me fum de fus dat I got ter eat, en I knows dat I got fer ter grub for w’at I gits. Hit’s agin de mor’l law fer niggers fer ter eat w’en dey don’t wuk, an’ w’en you see um ’pariently fattenin’ on a’r, you k’n des bet dat ruinashun’s gwine on some’rs.

De raccoon he’s a cu’us man,  He never walk twel dark, En nuthin’ never ’sturbs his mine,  Twel he hear ole Bringer bark.
De raccoon totes a bushy tail,  De ’possum totes no ha’r, Mr. Rabbit, he come skippin’ by,  He ain’t got none ter spar’.

Fifteen poun’ er meat a week,  W’isky for ter sell, Oh, how can a young man stay at home,  Dem gals dey look so well?
Met a ’possum in de road—  Brer ’Possum, whar you gwine? I thank my stars, I bless my life,  I’m a huntin’ for de muscadine.
