Photographers Plan to Stop Women

Fifth avenue photographer has discovered a way to circumvent one lit tie bunco game precticed by feminine customers. Il is quite generally known that actresses are allowed a liberal re- duction in price. and it is no uncommon thing for women in private life to se- cure this reduced rate by representing themselves as members of the pro- fessiOn. For instance ahe daughter of 9, retired merchant, enjoying a liberal supply of pocket money, decides that she will just save little on her photo graph bill So she dons her flashiese gown. sets her hat at a rakish angle and tells the clerk at the galley that she is Miss Tessie Brighteyes, of the Fritering FrilIs company.

THE FELLOW THAT'S GOING HIS
 BEST.

There's a song for the man who is lucky and bold. For the man who has fate on his side: T-1ere are cheers for the folks that are jingling the gold And are drifting along with the tide. But the man who is striving to get to the land And facing the hungry waves crest, We quite overlook, for we don't under stand The fellow that's doing his bet Tut he has his reward when the story is done. Though we smile as he plods on his way. For his own self esteem is the prize he has won, As obscurely he's stood in the fray. And he. knows the affection of home and of friends And the pleasures of honest-earned rest; There are peace and good will, as the twilight descends, For the fellow that's doing his best.

WOMEN WHO RIDE AsrRIDE.
Experience Teaches Them That IL Is
 Best Method of Riding.

Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock, J.. one Of the first American horse women to ride astr:de would not think of again using the sidesaddle. It is her experience that the cross seat affords more ger feet balance and pOise, Is safer and more comfortable for both horse and rider, and she believes that it is only fear of cutting a ridiculous figure that keeps the true hOrsewoman from as- suming the cross seat. Many women are in favor of the change, but have not sufficient courage t0 appear in public in this as yet unorthdOX man ner; still they feel it to D emel ely a question of tlme when it will be only way. As young girl Mrs. Hitchcock was noted for her devotion to the vari- Ous forms Of sport participated in by her brothers and the spirit of emula- tion thus fostered has placed her well to the. fore as a representative sports woman. When in the saddle she has all the appearance of a graceful youth of 16, her dark h ir being cOiled be- meath her broad sombrero. bit of red at the throat finishes off her cos tune, which consists of a loose belted blouse and either knicker lockers or a divided skirt. Little did Anne of Bo- hemia, consort of Richard III. realize in 1341 for how much she would be re- sponsible. Naturally the prejudice of five and half centuries are not easily dispe'led, although until that period no woman had ridden otherwise than astride. It was not choice, but neces- sity. arising from physical infirmity which impelled that royal lady to as sume a position in the saddle which. at first adopted by her entourage as novelty, was followed by. women throughout Europe as the proper mode of riding.-Sportiug News

AJAX" OF SOPROCLES TO BE
 DONE IN CREEK.

The tragedy of Ajax" by Sophocles will be performed in Greek by Greeks at Clinton hall on March 24, 25, and 26 for the first time in New York. The affair will be given under the auspices of university. college and nurses set tlemenks and Greenwich and Richmond Hill houses will be under the personal direction of Miss Mabel Hay Barrows, an able Greek scholar.
 The idea was suggested six years ago by Miss Lillian Wald of the Nurses settlement, but nothing was done until January last. when Miss Barrows re- turned from Chicago where she pro- duced the play at Hull house. Those in- terested include many men and women of note and the tragedy will be given a setting that would prove acceptable on Broadway.
 Miss Barrows said that while but one of the nine speaking parts has been al lotted the Greeks are already rehearsing with great earnestness, and she is sure that the performance will be an excell- ent one. The players, both men and wo- men, have been recruited from all walks of life and include men of wealth. fruit merchants, flower vendors and editors and reporters of the two Greek news papers published in New York. They are all enthusiastic and anxious to play leading roles.-New York World

ABOLISH THE CODE"

In the twentieth century the civilized
races OF this earth ought TO have adj
yanced far enough to sense the folly
and sayagery Of duellng. Nothing Is
proved by resort to physical force,
even when used with skill, except that
one OF the combatants Is stronger or
quicker, or more carefully trained than
the other No principle is yindlcated,
and 'honor" Is not established or lost
by the outcome. II one is called "a
liar" his veracity is not made any
more apparent II he kills his accuser'
than II he Is killed himself,
The feuds in the South, relic Of the
vendetta in southern Europe, is worse
than the ordinary duel because II Is
heritage of hate that crops out IN as
sassinaton and it's victims often are
innocent Of any wrong or eyil intention
Ii is a horrible and inexcusable form OF
barbarism. made worse by a measure
of intelligence and cultivation. II
ought to be suppressed by a rigid en-
forcement OF law, and those who are
guilty OF the murderous practice should
be dealt with as wilful and boodthirsty
assassins.
