CHI HARTER OPEN.

For a short time only the charter of Douglas-Treadwell Lodge, No. 755, Loyal Order of Moose, is open and the iniation will be only S5, covering all cost of joining. Since the purchase by the Supreme Lodge of over 1000 acres, comprising several farms ad- jacent to Aurora, H., for the Inter national Home and University, the membership of the 1,500 Moose lodges has increased by leaps and bounds because so many were quick to see the advantages of belonging to an Order that insures their crippled and aged members, their widows and or phans against want, cures the con sumptive and gives the children of Moose an education unequaled by any university, absolutely free, besides paying high sick benefit to it's mem. bers in good standing. The fee will be raised to S1O in short time with out notice. See any Moose, or Sec. retary Humfrey at once.

A SLEEPY HOLLOW LANDMARK.
Passing of Treaty Tree Under Which
Washington Irving Wrote.

Washington irvings great treaty
tree at Sleepy Hollow, In the Philipse
Manor section, lost Its last three leaves
recently. Tourists and visitors have
noted with much concern for over
year that 1t was dying, 1t is twenty
feet in circumference ut Its base. 1t
had bravely withstood the disease that
has destroyed most Of the chestnut
trees throughout the east, and 1t is
probably the last to die in the Sleepy
Hollow and Tarrytown sections.
This monarch OF the forest is known
in history as the tree under which the
last treaty was made between the
whites and Wequasqueek Indians
Under its romantic shade also Irving
wrote his famous The Headless
Horseman." with scenes laid at
Philipse Manor
Although the treaty tree is practical
ly dead, 1t will not be felled and de-
stroyed like hundreds of its fellows
there. 1t Is to be preserved. and long
trailing lowering vines have been
planted about its base to cover 1t COM
pletely in the future. 1t stands almost
in the center of the Philipse Manor
property, close to the Hudson river, in
full view from Broadway or the old
Albany post road. --Tarrytown News.

SCRAMBLE FOR A SUPPER.
Dainty Methods Of French Solons
When Free Meals Are Served.

When Free Meals Are Served.
Describing the supper arrangements
made for French legislators during
late sittings in the Palais Bourbon, the
Paris Liberte says:
AT the appointed time the marble
tables in the restaurant are covered
with plates of larded veal. saveloys.
cold ham, salad containing little cubes
of Gruyere cheese and baskets OF
bread. As soon as the chamber gets
wind Of these preparations general
exodus takes place, and the member
addressing the house is left TO address
his successor, the president, the ush
ers. reporters and other melancholy
officials.
1T is not exactly stately banquet
that the legislators sit down to. There
are no knives. no forks and in the
place of plates just few saucers.
The members first fling themselves
upon the bread baskets and pick the
incest looking pieces; then. making
free use of their elbows toward the
veal. the saveloys or the ham. seize u
slice in their fingers, put it on the
bread. keep it there with the thumb.
while they squeeze their way out of
the press and devour their spoil.
such manners take us back to far
off prehistoric days, when our ances.
tors ate ON the floor of their caverns,
But it is Just this return to the simple
ity of nature that exercises such a
healing effect on party animosty. The
legislator who has. by series of sub
tie maneuvers, secured a bottle OF
wine shares it with his thirsty neigh
bors.
lit has been noticed that the depu-
ties from rural districts usually carry
pocketknife. which they lend to
their town colleagues. This, too. makes
for harmony and the healing up OF
strife"

VERY Mild
IS THE tone
OfPreSideRt Huerta'S Message
To Congress
Huerta Refers TO MGxlCO's Re-
latIOns With United States.
SAYS He STANDS FOR PEACE

Declares That Whatever Tension Ex-
ists 10 Between the Governments
and Not Between the Peoples Of the
Two Republics = Makes No Refer
ence to Request That He Eliminate
Himself From Presidential Race.
Mexico City, Sept. 17.-Provisional
President Huerta in his message to
the Mexican congress refers to the
tenseness of the diplomatic relations
between the Mexican government and
the United States, but luckily not
with the people of that country" He
expresses the hope that the negotia-
tions with the American government
will speedily result in a solution of
the differences which have arisen be-
tween the two countries Huerta
names 26 nations which have recog-
nized the present government of
Mexico.
The provisional president promises
on behalf Of the government to hold
the national elections for the presi-
dency, set for Oct. 26, on schedule
time, and adds that arrangements for
the holding of these elections are al
ready in progress.
In his reference to the status or me
relations between the United Stares
and Mexico, President Huerta insists
that there is no crisis between the
people of the United States and the
people of Mexico, and that whatever
tension may exist is between his gov
eminent and that of President VIII
son, who seems to be determined not
TO recognize him. thus preventing the
qualification OF the sister republic
which is its neighbor."
General Huerta carefully avoided in
his message any reference to the re-
quest that he retire from the govern
ment or that he be eliminated as a
candidate for president, although he
clearly states that he will promptly
restore peace and bring about the an
restricted election OF president and
vic president.
Those who had expected that Presi
dent Huerta would explain in his mes
sage the latest notes exchanged be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
as did President Wilson in his mes
sage TO the American congress, were
greatly disappointed.
