One of the New York representa-
tives in congress tells Of social
function in an assembly district po-
litical club on the East Side, whereat
the chairman of the entertainment
committee acted as master of cere-

The chairman was very busy intro

the club to the guests, who included q
number Of municipal officers. The
representative mentioned was pre-
scented in way to halve his official
honors with his wife, as The Honor
able and Mrs. Congressman Blank"
Next came a couple who were not

AZ to the Saving Habit.

Archie Levy at recent banquet given
to mining engineers at Chicago told
the following story:
Habit is simple thing, easy 20 &C.
quire, but hard to break. The best
definition Of 1t ever heard was ap.
piled to the term habit Of saving, and
was told by the writer Tx Marvel. One
day he was reading in his study, and
his companion was his young nephew.
The boy was reading book and sud-
deny he came upon the word, which
he did not understand, when he turned
TO his uncle and said, And whatis
habit?
Ills uncle said, 1t depends what
kind of habit you mean
"'Habit Of saving the boy explained.
THAT'S simple enough the uncle
remarked 1t is a mania foolish men
have or acquire. They deprive them.
selves of the things they want new for
the things they may want In so years
from now"

Il ~ HICAGO.-'Baby farming" has
extended as profitable bust
u ness in Chicago.
The profits accrue from
S$Fved bodies, neglected and ill-treat-
ed children, homeless and dependent
upon the farmer" with whom they
are barded" at from three to seven
doll per week.
Mcat of the farms" are situated in
districts where tumbling buildings are
decaying in filth and neglect. The
babies are helpless and have no right
Of selections; they must suffer in ST.
lence and often die from disease and
neglect.
The first baby farm visited by a re-
porter for the Sunday Tribune was
kept by a middle-aged woman try
: Ing to care for eight or ten small chill
dren in cramped quarters and under
poor conditions. Undoubtedly this
woman meant well enough. But she
needed the money. She simply could
not devote enough time to each child
to give it's little life fighting chance.
A baby farm" does not mean a
place where the grass is green and
there are plenty Of trees and cows,
but dingy fiat in the yards" or a
four-room cottage on corner where
five car lines meet. There is nothing
comfortable about "baby farm" but
the income of the woman. who often
appears corpulent and luxurious In
contrast to the emaciated infants In
her charge. Here the babies are all
teeth, long hair, and legs, they are
SO thin. They look like cadaverous
birds, opening their mouths continu-
ously for nourishment which they do
not get.
Inspection Fear Of Keepers.
When a Tribune reporter went un-
hidden to one "baby farm" In the
suburbs, the woman in charge turned
pale. and her lips trembled. She al
