Home apd home-makin@."
Home is not merely the residence OF
the body, but of the heart.
The house is kept for the pleasure
and comfort of the family.
1t is in making the home comfort
and pleasure that real skill in
housekeeping may be exercised.
The object of all ambition should be
to be happy at home If we are not
hapy there. we are not apt to be else
where.
most perfect home-maker. Remember
that it takes two to make quarrel,
and beware of the first dispute. Every
married man has the right to expect
his wife to exercise as much energy
and good sense in her work of home
making as he does in his business.
She should use wisely the money
which he provides for the household.
Some women have more knack in man
aging and doing than others, but if one
is in earnest about being good house
keeper she will surely succeed.
Helen Waterson Moody in the Lad
| les Home Journal, says: Good house
keeping is easy housekeeping, and If a
woman wear herself into tatters and
shreds keeping house the case is prov
en- against her. 1t is praise-worthy To
be called an immaculate housekeeper
but this should not be our highest ain,
in life. Life is not long enough for us
to do all things we would like to do. II
we cannot keep our homes in the style
we WISH and still have time to devote
to our loved ones we should not hesi.
tate as to what must be left undone.

SIGNIFICANCE OF
BELMONI's FIGHT.
Believed It Presages a General Re.
volt Against Croker, With Shee-
han as the Real Leader.

| REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, Dec. N-Perry Belmont's cam.
paign for Representative in Congress from
the Seventh District, which he is wagine
primarily against Richard Croker. and, sec
ondarily. against Joseph F. OGrady. who
asserts that he IL the regular Democratic
nominee, will reach its crisis tomorrow
when the contention Of the rivals will be
reviewed by the Board Of Elections.
In the midst Of his preparations FOR the
ordeal, Mr.. Belmont found time to-day to
mako a spirited attack on Mr.. Croker. to
which the Tammany chieftain made SINH
lar rejoinder. which ended with the avowal
that, as Mr.. Belmont expected to profit by
anything he might say, he would hereafter
maintain absolute silence.
While the candidates for Congress and
the local leader of his party arc battling
with each other. keen observers Of the
trend Of political affairs say that the pres
ent contest is the forerunner Of . revolt
against Mr.. Croker. which will yet result
in the overthrow Of the Tammany chieftain.
Mr.. Belmont has allied himself to . cef-
tain extent with the Greater New York
Democracy. under the leadership Of John
c. Sheehan, Mr.. Crokers bitterest foe. and
no matter whether he wins or loses In this
contest. he will probably continue with Mr..
Sheehan to make unrelenfing war upon Mr.
Croker.
CROKER ISSUES HIS DEFIANCE.

In these words Richard Croker tonight
defed Tammany's Executive Committee to
come out In opposition to the slate he had
prepared to be voted for by the General
Committee at its annual meeting. which
began few minutes after his significant
utterance. If there was any one present
who felt that Mr.. Croker was detriment
to the organization or that the recent de-
feat Of Tammany was due In any way to
him, he kept his peace
