various small kitchen gardens, carved and painted
by poor man and his sister after their regular
working hours, and bought by Mr.. Muller at high
rates as his pet philanthropy. In this shop, now
100 years old, all of the most novel of
the toy-village playthings. The store was crowded
with MORE children over thirty than under thir-
teen, and absorbed for hours over the clever and
quaint attractions.
The dolls house of Nuremberg leaves nothing
to be desired. Not only the usual rooms of con-
ventional menage found in it, but conserva-
tories with miniature orchids, fountains and
terng cans; school rooms with tiny desks, a
schoolmaster, very stern, with goggles and ruler,
and children in aprons and carrying states, the
latter sixteenth of an inch big; fields of flowers
for the back yard and swing for the smallest
doll
In all German art, of which toy making is by
no means Insignificant department perfection
of detail has always been the salient feature. Ev-
cry phase of home life is reproduced in micro
scopic form In German toyland, even down to the
wee pairs of hand-knitted stockings and sweaters
the hobnaed shoes and blue blouses which make
up the wardrobe of the volks boy and girl.
The tourist season is second Christmas for
Nuremberg people, and they sell many play
things in the one period as the other An inter-
esting point brought to light by this fact is the
early differentiation of the American and Euro
pean individuality, which shows itself in choice of
games and pastimes They say in the shops that
an American child is invariably fascinated

They blessed with imagination, these vii
lage people, and they are not ashamed OF show
ing their simplicity of spirit Their souls are
bound up in the heritage of centuries. The trag-
edies of their city's history wind about the toys
they make, breathing into the wood characteris-
tic vitality-the vitality that comes of centuries
of striving, of centuries Of patient achievement.
AS you sit in swirl of red ribbon and foamy
paper doing up" your Christmas presents, re-
member that many of them have come from this
quaint little Village of Always Christmas 1t
may add to your holiday happiness to know that
no pleasure which the toys may bring can be
greater than the pleasure of those who made them,
and that no good will of yours outdo the quiet
sincerity of purpose with which the simple people
of Nuremberg have given their part toward this
season of the universal gift.

OLDEST QUAKER CIT" HOUSE

Standing.

Philadelphia. - Although Philadel-
phia is known as the city of Homes"
and contains many public buildings OF
historic renown, the number Of resi-
dences OF the seventeenth century
now standing are comparatively few.
One of the reasons for the disappear
ance Of the old landmarks is the fact
that many Of the old residential Sec
tions of the city have been trans
formed into business localities and
the old structures have given place to
modern office buildings and business
houses. 1t is curious fact that the
oldest house in Philadelphia, and the
only residence of size in the city with
gable ends facing on the street, stands

SENATOR OWENS NAME IS
BROUGHT INTO LAND INQUIRY
Attorney Says Statesman is Principal
In Suit to Get Big Fees-Owen
Makes Explanation.

SULPHUR, Okla, Aug. 23.-The
name of u. S. Senator Robert l..
Owen entered into the Indian land
investigation yesterday.
+. =. Hill, m attorney for the Choc-
taw Nation, testified before the spe-
cial congressional committee which Is
investigating the Gore bribery
charges, that Mr.. owen Is the prin-
cipal in a suit in which are involved
contracts with the Indians calling for
a so per cent fee.
Mr. Owen, however. testified Mr..
Hill, entered into the contracts with
the Indians several years before he
became senator. He Is not now try
ing 10 get 90 per cent. but has left
it to the United States court OF claims
to determine how much he should re-
ceive. 1t was also said that since his
election as senator Mr.. owen had
shown no activity in the case except
10 testify in behalf of his claim.
The value Of the property, which,
Il was asserted Mr.. Owens suit sought
to restore to the Indians, was fixed
by the department OF justice at from
sl2.OO0.0O0 TO 100000 AS attor-
new for the Choctaws Mr.. Hill said he

ARNOLD HOME IN
5000 CONDITION
New Wing, Just Completed at Cost OF
$4,000, Will Enhance Revenues,
DR.. Arnold Believes.

Paradoxical as 1t may seem, the
Rev. G. H. Arnold, who is at the head
OF two homes for aged people In De
troit, has just added $4,000 to his
financial obligations to help reduce
his Indebtedness and meet running
expenses. The debt was increased by
the addition Of a new wing TO the In
stitution for aged women at No. ia
Selden-ave. This wing has accommo
dations for 20 boarders, and the doc
tor Is convinced that the revenue de-
rived from them will be sufficient to
not only pay for their own keep, but
also 60 long way towards covering
tho cost OF caring for the life mem.
bers Of the home.
The life-members, Of whom the Sci.
den.ave. home has quite a number
have been provided for during the
past few years by the revenue Sc
cured from the monthly boarders, be.
cause OF the fact that the money re-
ceived from the life-members, sum
averaging about $500 in each In
stance, was placed In a trust fund
the moment 1T was received and In
vested In the Home building. In this
way each life-member is completely
protected In the event OF the Home
being closed on account OF financial
troubles. The Home property Is now
valued at about $4,000. Against this
there Is a small mortgage, but there
would be plenty left for the life-mem
bers after its payment, for the Home
management is holding $4,000 In
trust for them, all they have paid In
But there Is little or no Likelihood
of the Home suffering any financial
embarrassment OF SO serious a nature
for Just now 1t Is perfectly solvent, as
the figures quoted will show. How
ever, 1t Is true that the high cost OF
living has seriously affected the Home,
For instance, when DR.. Arnold
opened 1t 10 years ago. he took In
life-members On the basis OF the cost
of living at that time, not anticipating
that provisions were going to be
dearer as time went on. He also
quoted boarders monthly rates which
have since become too low to be
profitable for the institution. The
management found It imperative some
time ago to raise the monthly board
rates, but no boost could be made In
regard to the life-members.
1.-The cost Of living has been In
creased 80 1-3 per cent in the last
three years." said DR.. Arnold. In
commenting on the finances of the
home, land II has been difficult to
run the home without creating a
large deficit. The price Of labor has
also gone up. Three years ago our
payroll was $3.50 a month; now 1t Is
nearly $500. However. am certain
that the additional revenue We shall
get from the new boarders will be
sufficient to make both ends meet In
regard to running expenses. In the
new part we plan to get SIS a month
for the rooms on the ground floor;
$22 for the second floor, and $50 for
the third. For these sums the board.
ers will not only be housed and fed,
but will get any nursing attention
required and all laundry work done
free of charge.
But, while we shall be able to get
along all right in the matter of run
ming expenses, We should be extreme
ly grateful If some one would come
to our rescue and help pay for the

20 pay for II. AZ was done I'm regard
to the other parts OF the building.
for that would reduce the amount OF
personal interest the present life
members now hold in the institution.
So we must try to get outsiders TO
help us along in paying for the erec-
ton OF the building.
One thing, in addition TO the In.
creased cost OF living, which has
hampered us is the fact that we have
been and are now caring for peo-
pie who have been unable to pay
one cent for their keep, while many
others are paying only nominal
sum. We receive INDECENT people be-
cause this institution aims to- meet
the conditions of the old folks: IL
doesn't make the conditions under
which the people of moderate means
shall come to us. And In this con
nection | should just like to point
out that our home is the only one of
the kind In the city where the con-
ditions OF the poorer people are be-
Ing met. There are many aged people
who cannot afford to pay life mem
bership fees, and that is the reason
We are providing accommodations at
monthly rates.
The new addition to the Selden-aye.
home is big improvement. On each
door are large, airy, well-ventilated
rooms, each containing a radiator and
electric lights. II Is the fifth that
has been added to the original struc-
ture, which was the home of Hugh
Johnson. carriage manufacturer. for
many years.
DR.. Arnold started his original home
while rector OF st. Peters parish. 10
years ago. He found that many aged
people In his parish needed a place
OF the kind. Now, however. there are
but few Episcopalians In his homes,
most OF them being adherents OF other
churches. The doctor, since giving
up his regular church work. has act
ed as superintendent and manager of
the homes without cent of salary,
depending entirely upon other sources
of revenue for his livelihood His
whole LIES savings are invested In
these institutions and his heart and
soul are In the work of caring for
the aged people In their last days.
The home which the doctor conducts
at No. 706 Fort-st. west Is for men
only.
