have ever had in New York so far as I can remember. His methods in their sim plicity have been somewhat similar to those of the prisoner in the story. He had been placed In an old fashioned southern calaboose for some trifing of- fense. After bewailing his fate it oc- cured to him that he might as well open the window, climb outp and go home, which he proceeded to do.
 So with Collector Loeb's simple method of discouraging smuggling. He simply regardless of person and meted to them the punishment prescribed by law. Up to a short time ago he contented himself with the imposition of financial penalties but the other day he sent one fair snug gler to jail
 While many of those who cheat Uncle Sam would be willing to run the financial risk 1t is pretty safe to say that none but professionals will care to risk jail, and if MT. Loeb persists in the prison business society smuggling soon will be- come lost art.
 Another of the most noted of New Yorks old time rich men has given up the struggle and has come to regard the city as a hopeless place for quiet res idence.
 Twenty-Five or thirty years ago there were few men better known in New York than Frank Work, stock exchange magnate, horseman and man-about-town
 Until a few years ago MT. Work used to drive his own pair up the avenue with oc rvnt,c ,ch frff iv, fbn old doxrc r1,nK. he owned that famous pole team Edward and Swiveller. But when one rounds the mark on the ninetieth lap of his cen- tury run he has to be content with a lap-robe on the back seat or get an au- tomobile.
 Automobile? Never'' said the old man. true to his horseman blood 'Ill never set foot in one if can help it."
 "The Dean of Madison Square" has handed in his regisnation. He has stuck out long enough. against the tidal wave of sweat shops that has been sweeping up Fifth avenue. For awhile Madison Square North, where he has lived for 8 years, formed a little back-water, un- disturbed by the rush of the stream up the main channel. But now real estate, man has bought the lot next door to that iron-grated front yard, where the old gentleman likes to bask in sunny wealth CT, and will put up a 26-story loft building there.
 When I bought this house, said MT. Work, 'I expected to live here all my life. But now I've got to move. They're driv- ing me out, these men-yea, just turning me out on the streets.
 Where am I going to go? I've looked around uptown for a house, but can't find what want. You see, must have a house with front yard, and that's hard to find. I have a place in Newport, and I guess I'll have to go there'
 He looked out sadly over the sunny square, and turned again to the fire and the morning paper
 It was less than ten years ago that Work sold his seat on the stock ex- change although he had retired from &C., tive business ten years before that. Horses continued to be his hobby, even in their and his old age. He kept Dick Swiveller In his stable with every atten- ton until that horse was well over 20, and finally dropped of with no suffering. When Edward was 20 MT. Work sent his favorite to stock farm on Long Is- land. where the animal proved to be ss veritable Methuselah of his kind, living to see his 36th year.
 The woman suffragists get very little COIIilOTt out Ol SOuilL AlDtIl AppOUyl, tI6 giant Hungarian statesman and noble- man, who is here to show why America should head the movement for universal peace. He says women can do much to- wards harmony among nations if they abandon the suffragette idea and remain In their own sphere.
 "Then you do not believe in equal suf- frazer" he was asked
 Most certainly not" exclaimed the Count. 'I believe that it is one of the greatest factors toward feminine deterio- ration that exists today. I can't conceive of its aiding anything in any way except retrogression. The rights that women have are given them every time. And the rights for which they are striving and which they think belong to them are not theirs. How is it possible for women to act ably in mems sphere when their own field calls to them-calls with the big possibilities which they are supremely fitted to develop?
 "Women should stay where they be- long-where they can do the greatest good for women. I think there is no finer ere ation. I hate to see them strive for the right to vote. Women lose their attrac- ton for men when they try to be like men. There comes a third sex into the world, which Is neither thinking man nor attractive woman. It Is an unwholesome power that devitalizes enterprise and flinders proper growth. No; the suffrag- cite will never aid tre~peace movement. The home woman will.'
 Tn what way?'
 By remaining in her home-her sphere. By raising children to know the value on small home scale of arbitra- ton, of conciliation. Women in the home can make an atmosphere of peace, and strive thus to show a counterpart of what the entire world, ought to be-
 I noticed the other day among the list of civilians who had gained commissions in the United States army the name of Bert M. Atkinson of Georgia, son of the late Gov w. Y. Atkinson of that state don't know the young man personally, but if he is anything like his father he in likely to make his mark in Uncle Sam's service. Governor Atkinson was a re- markable man, one of the most forceful of the younger generation of southern statesmen. He was governor of the state at an age when most men are fairly be- ginning their political careers barely missed going to the United States Senate when the late Senator Clay was elected and had he lived would have been one of the strongest leaders of the new south. Young Atkinson will have the good wishes of all his fathers old friends.
