Subscription Agreements to
Be Obtained to Buy Well
bred Horses.

IDEA IS CALLED UNIQUE

Blood Hack Subscription Agreements
to buy weIl-bred riding horses on unique
plan and indirectly to stimulate interest
in hunting and unprofessional racing and
other outdoor sports were circulated yes
terday among well known members of
the riding set of Washington by COM
mittee from the Washington Riding and
Hunt Club and Virginia United Hunts
Racing Association, of which William
Hit is chairman, and Col. Henry L.
Allen, u s. A; G. Basil Hall, of Middle
burg, Va. and Lieut.. Charles X. Rock
well. L. S. a, are the associate MEM
bers.
Plans for the subscription are un-
usually attractive. They contemplate that
the subscribers, who, II is hoped, will
number at least twenty, shall each con-
tribute 5000. for which they would in
return receive the horses of equal num-
ber with the subscriptions. to be pur-
chased with the fund thus provided.
Besides buying the horses. the fund
would furnish two purses OF $1,000 each,
It Is estimated. to be raced for at Wash
ington and Middleburg.
The horses, all OF which will be good
ones. will be distributed by lot. and the
pleasurabIe chance of thus acquiring the
horse that wins either or both of the
races is added to the certainty OF get
hunting. polo or park use.
some Induccment. offered.
On this score. the committee presented
the following argument:
You may get the fastest horse.
You may get a slow horse. but have
him better trained than fast one.
You may not have either. but he may
be better ridden and so win.
You may not win. but run second.
You may get useful animal for polo.
nYou are pretty sure to get a good
riding animal
"If you do not get anything. you will
have lot OF fun trying to win"
The horses are to be ridden IN ths
races by gentlemen jockeys. II is eX.
pected that the meets will do much to-
ward increasing interest not only IN
racing and hunting. but in the breeding
OF fine horses. As the horses are not to
exceed II hands / inch, and are to carry
10 pounds one mile-the thnrouEhbreds
1Sn pounds for that distance-it IS assured
that only fine animals can qualify. and
therefore members OF the committee he
licvc that the initial benefit of placing
fifteen or twenty excellent mounts in this
part OF the country will alone compen-
safe the Virginia United Hunts RacinE
Association and the Washington Riding
and Hunt Club for their work.
The meeting NJ the Virginia asSocia-
ton will be held at Middleburg in April;
that OF the Washington club at Washing
ton in May.

Some cold weather with snow. would

ready favor from J. w. PaNon. Suporln-
tendent Of Street Cleaning for the Dis
trict.
Mr.. Paxton states that the continued
warm. snpwless weather means in
creased expenditures for his Office. as the
city-widc street cleanings must bc carried
out with the same Gaze rs in summer.
The unusual absence Of snow this year
has occasioned a marked increase to this
Office.
last year a heavy snow in January
with two weeks Of cold weather saved
about $4,000 in the expenses of the
Street Cleaning Department. With snow
on the ground. the costly cleanings "f
the streets are unnecessary. Throughout
the residence and suburban sections the
snow is cleared away from the side

Taking a Chance.

Senator Lee S. Overman of North
Carolina, when a young man, was
private secretary to Gov. Vance of
that state. The governor was can
didate for election to the United
States senate, and his most formida-
BILE opponent was Senator Merriman,
at that time the incumbent.
In the heat of the campaign young
Overman fell in love with Merriman' s
daughter, and prosecuted his suit with
all the ardor of a southern wooer. At
length things reached a stage where
he felt that he could no longer con-
tinue to hold his position as secre-
tary to the opponent of the father of
his lady-love.
So, in a heart-to-heart talk with
Gov. Vance he conflded the true state
of affairs. setting forth that while his
position as secretary was highly ad-
vantageous to him from sordid
worldly point of view, it was well
sacrificed on the altar of love. etc.

He Had the Fish

The new senator from Kentucky,
Ollie James. is great fisherman. and
enjoys nothing more than to relate
some tale of the amateur.
On one occasion in Kentucky there
was observed a man who had never
fished before. His rod was new and
shiny. He was whipping a trout
stream, when, by some chance. he got
a bite. He did not play the fish at
all With rod straight ahead. he
slowly and steadily reeled in his
catch How he managed to hold the
fish was a mystery.
Pretty soon the fish was directly
below the end of the rod. but the anna
teur did not stop. He continued TO
reel and reel. and. just as the OBJ
server reached the waters edge the
fish's head touched the tip. Then the
fisherman actually tried to pull his
catch through the ring. He did not
OF course. succeed.

of the amused Kentuckian on the
bank

CHEAPEST IN THE LONG RUN
Housekeeper VIII Find That tho
Purchase Of the Best Cretonne 10
Only Sensible Plan.

In buying chintz. or cretonne as this
material is usually called over here,
1t is wisest to select the best quality
and patterns for cheap cretonne soon
stretches and fades and the colors are
apt to be crude. Chairs. couches and
sofa pillows should be covered with
the same pattern. and one or two at
most sofa pillows in a plain color In
cluded In the cretonne pattern, will
focus the color interest of the room
Instead Of taking down the winter
portieres of tapestry or plush. Gre
tonne curtains in the form of long
bags may be slipped over the winter
hangings and sewed together firmly
at the top. Table covers of cretonne
should be lined with plain colored sa-
teen and finished around the edge with
narrow, colored gimp which comes
for that purpose.
Not every housekeeper realizes the
possibilities OF chiDtz IN the summer
home, or in the city house which must
be made cool and comfortable during
the hot months. A magical metamor-
phosis may be wrought in living room
and bedroom, furnished in the winter
with rich, yet heavy tapestries and
velvets, if all these hangings and COW
erings are packed away in the cedar
chest up garnet. or wherever such
| things are stored, and fresh. dainty
| chintz substituted
Every English drawing-room is
swathed in chintz with the beginning
of warm weather; and the bright COW
ers combined with the fresh cut
flowers that are fetish with English
housekeepers. make an English draw
ing-room a most delightful and rest
full place in summer time.

HER MOMENT OF PERFECT Joy
Little Girl Got What She Wanted
When She Wanted II, and
Therein Lies a Moral.

A girl wearing a gay bit of golden
rod in her coat was hurrying through
The crowded railroad station of an
eastern city one evening" when she
was stopped by a thin little hand
thrust up toward her through the
dusk, and a child's cry, Lady, give
me that flower"
1t was not a plea, 1t was not re-
quest. 1t was a demand. and the
flower was in the child's hands, the
happiness of her sad little face had
flashed close for an instant and the
quick feet had scurried away into the
| darkness before the girl who had
worn the goldenrod had time TO look
or think, to give or to refuse.
The flower had grown on a rock by
the sea- 1t was still wet with the mist
from the waves and the sunset glow
was reflected in it's gold. Perhaps the
child had never particularly noticed
the sun, for except when it was above
the tall buildings, she could not have
seen it. But the desire of all the world
! for the sun and the open sea was in
her voice. Perhaps she was a very
ordinary little girl, who grew up to be
a little bigger and then worked in a
factory, and liked to walk up and
down the streets with the other girls
and show off her cheap gay clothes
She probably married, and had several
little girls like herself, and was always
tired and poor, but. as far as she
knew, happy enough
All that makes very little differ
ence. At least it is the way thing!
are. The important thing is that once
she wanted something very much. ant
got what she wanted when she wante'
it. 1t is good to want things whethe
we get them or not. 1t is better to ge
them. 1t is best of all to get then
when we want them. This was n
common desire such as most of u
have every day. 1t was so strong an
true and imperative that a tiny gil
fought her way through a great crow
of people and without thought or fea
took flower from a girls coat. n
matter what happened to her afte
that, she had one moment of perfeC
Joy. Perhaps the girl from who's
coat she tore the flower may hav
had all good things for hers, but ma
! never have known the Joy because sh
never knew that want.
