Confederate Veterans will be held at

New Orleans Races.

New Orleans Races.
New Orleans, March 11.-Cool, windy
weather and a sticky track marked to-
days sport here. The going, however,
was much better than could have been
expected after the soaking rain of yes
terday, and by the last race today the
track was dusty in spots. A large crowd
was on hand and the racing was fair,
with favorites and well backed horses
successful in five out of the six events.

Worth Reading.

DR.. Charles Dennison Denver, Col.
When the oxygen is disposed of by
fame from a lamp or gas jet number of
poisonous gases take its place In the at
mosphere. The effect of these poisons on
the lungs Is suffocation. One can be
drowned by poisonous air as well as by
water. Electric lights do not vitiate the
air, while gas consumes the oxygen. This
can, however, be overcome in its evil eff
fects by proper ventilation.

war or famine could separate her from
the goodly heritage into which she has
come, but if they should, this beautiful
high-born dame could and would put
her shoulder to the wheel and make
things 90 round. Mrs. Astor's choice
of prof ession would be, it is said by
one OF her best friends, teacher of
athletics in some of the famous woman
colleges. At sailing, ro wing. swimming,
tennis, golf and bicycling Mrs. Astor is
an expert, and she is equally clever In
the gymnasium at the Berkeley lyceum
and on the ice at the swell skating
club.
Mrs. Rossell Sage, whose husband
has one hundred millions or there
abouts, would go back to her old pro-
fession Of teacher, for that was the life
work she had chosen and was success
fully filing when she married the rich
New Yorker.
Miss Louise McAllister, daughter OF
the late society leader, Ward McAllis-
ter, besides having the gift of rare con-
versational powers, has inherited the
rare epicurean tastes of her father.
Her services would bs worth vast
amount for arranging menus and pro-
viding the choice recipes which have
been handed down in the family for
generations.
Mrs. George J. Gould could go back
to the stage, where she was honored
and bravely made support for her
self and her mother, whom as Edith
Kingdom sae played at Daly's theater.
There are four little children to be
loved and cared for in the magnificent
home her husband has provided for
her, and Mrs. Gould thinks that is
ample employment for any one woman.
She hopes Dame Fortune will still be
good to her,and that she can continue
sheltered and shielded and doing the
work that she loves dearest and best.
Two glorious voices never heard by
the public are possessed by Miss Mary
Calendar, the woman bachelor who
lives in the Tiffany apartment house
with her chum, Miss De Forrest, and
that OF Miss Fanny Reed, the sister Of
Mrs. Paran Stevens.
Nothing would be easier than for
these two gifted women to make a
large income each year by using their
voices in concerts and oratOrio.

We plan to outwit and forestall time.
We scorn TO wait for the thing worth having,
We want high noon at the days dim dawn
We find no pleasure in toiling and saving
AS our forefathers did in the good times
gone.
We force our roses before their season
To bloom and blossom that we may wear:
And then we wonder and ask the reason
Why perfect buds are SO few and rare
We crave the gain, but despise the getting;
We want the wealth, not as a reward. but

To thirst for glory, yet shrink from the

To mental languor and moral blight?

Than to use our forces all in contriving.
And to grasp for pleasures we have not won

Resources of Venezuela

There are 2O00O0O0O acres of unbro-
ken forests in Venezuela, including
the finest mahogany, rosewood, ebony
and satinwood forests in the world.
The exports from Venezuela are mainly
these fine woods, coffee, hides, cocoa
and cattle. The distance from La
Guayra, the port of Caracas, tho capi-
tai. to New York is 220O miles; the dis
tance to London is 5000 miles. The
coffee crop is about $13,000,000 per
year. Maracaibo coffee is famous the
world over. The present republic was
organized in 1918. About $l,000,OOO in
gold was mined last year and its mines
have not been developed. Venezuela

most of their gorgeous coloring, they
would begin life as cheerfully and help
fully as the tiny, brown, honey-laden
insect which is always the synonym for
thrift.
"What would the rich women do if
their money should take unto itself
wings and fly awsy?" is always fasci-
mating question, but the answer may
not be quite so attractive, for the plain,
unvarnished truth is that most of them
would do great deal better than the
wealth always brings great opportun-

talent, or only a decided taste for any
accomplishment, is made the most of

able support for her family by using
her wonderful musical training. There
is no organist in America who ranks
above this beautiful Austrian woman.
and the grand organ in her home is
used as regularly as the day or night
comes.
Mrs. Nicholas Fish is another among
the noted millionaire musicians. At
the musicales given by herself and
Mrs. Havemeyer they often are the
soloists, accompanied by the Boston
Symphony society, probably the finest
band of musicians in America.

She can no longer be classed with the
amateurs. so clever has her work be-

there will soon be little room for i'm
provement.
Her collection is worth good-sized
fortune now, for there are pictures of
the three little Cleveland girls, taken
at all stages of growth, beginning with
the wee baby things in their first short
dresses, when they first walked, and on
every one of the birthdays. Mrs. La
mont has three dear little daughters of
her own, and it was to perpetuate their
dainty faces and to keep close account
Of the changes the years brought that
Mrs. Lamont took up the study of
photography.
