Frederick the Great entertained all
the great French literary lights, wrote
his histories—in French—and stormed

here, every summer, comes the kaiser
of today—Wilhelm of the divine right.

REAL MUS CLUB
Pasadena, Cal., March 2 s.—Wealthy
eastern men now wintering in Pasa
dena have formed one of the most
remarkable clubs in the world. They
have named it the Ananias club, ana
its only object is to afford them an
opportunity to meet and "swap lies.’’
The members do not mind using
one of Roosevelt’s “plain and uglies”
because they thus refer to the tall
stories they tell when they meet
nightly after dinner In a secluded
corner of the palm room at the Hotel
Green The president of the club is
Edwin Milner of Providence. R. 1., a
director of the New York & New
Haven railroad.
Prominent among the members are
I C Seamans, the only remaining
member of the firm of Wyckoff, Sea
mans & Benedict, who brought out
the Remington; Jacob Rehm, former
chief of police of Chicago; W. L. Par
rottee, a Chicago hat manufacturer;
John T. Greenwood, a retired capital
ist of Philadelphia; E. B. Strong, a
retired Board of Trade man of Chl
cago; D. L. Streeter, a prominent
business man of the same city; John
D Ross. a lumberman of Chicago; L.
L Barth, a lumberman of Evanston,
11l • J. D. Boyle, a retired capitalist
of Pittsburg: J. B. Stubbs, a Cleveland
man; W. E. Reis, a retired stock
broker of New York; Thomas A.
Simpson of Scarsdale, N. Y„ a retired
capitalist, and M. D. Eames of Buf
falo.
After dinner every night these men
retire to a portion of the palm room
at the hotel.
No other guest, unless he is a new
comer, a touring tenderfoot as it were,
breaks into the charmed circle where
lies are swapped. While each mem
ber endeavors to think up a yarn with
which to cap the remarkable story
previously told, the air is filled with
fragrant smoke from Havanas.
Only artists can tell impossible
yarns and make them “come over,”
but all these men are artists in this
line. Baron Munchausen could not
hold a candle to them were he to
come back In the flesh, mor would An
dersen of fairy tale fame.
All the members are staying here
for the winter. Most of them come
here year after year as soon as there
are signs of snow in the east, and
they intend to keep the Ananias club I
going.
Mr. Milner owes his election to the |
presidency to his deeds on the golt I
links of the Anandale Country club.
He beat John T. Greenwood the other
day in one of the most remarkable
games ever seen on the club's course.
All had bets on the outcome, and it

looked as if Greenwood was going to
be the winner when he had an easy
shot to make at the last hole. But
his last putt lacked strength, and hid

Milner, realizing that it was a case
of now or never, neatly put the ball
into the hole and carried off the hon
ors of the game.
Until some one can prove that he
has done something more worthy
than this snatching victory from de
feat at the last moment it has been
resolved that Milner shall remain as
