"Absolutely”
There is “Something New Under
the Sun” at 22 E. Mitchell Street,
just thirty seconds from White
hall, you will find an absolutely
new stock of stylish and up-to-the-
minute wall papers.
The same old BURNETT principle
will still prevail, one hundred
cents worth for every dollar spent.
ALL WORK GUARANTEED.

HAVE YOU VISITED THE
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN
HOME? IT’S LOCATED AT
299 LEE STREET, WEST END.
Have you ever sat at night, looking at
your toddling baby, and the little fellow
who has just started to school and
thought that some day fortune might
fly away; disease lay hold, and in the
twinkling of an eye, both you and your
good wife taken from them! “Time”
in juggling the checkers of hours, days,
months and years might Anally land your
dear little children on the cold world,
without help or aid from anywhere. It
is not a pleasant matter to think over,
but this has happened many times. It
could happen to yours.
The Christian Church, better known as
the Deciples of Christ, has instituted a
home for children who may be left just
this way; the SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN
HOME, which takes care of the orphans
of Christian churches in the Southeastern
States, is located at 299 Lee St. Mr.
C. V. LeCraw is president of this home;
Mrs. Chas. Goodwin, Secretary; Mr. J.
C. Gentry, Treasurer; Mr. F. J. Sprat-
ling, Chairman of the Committee on
House and Grounds; Mrs. F. J. Sprat-
ling Chairman of the Committee on Food
Supplies; Mrs. A. G. Haygood, Chair
man of the Wardrobe Committee; Mrs.
W. P. Thornton, Chairman of the Com
mittee on House Furnishings, and Mr.
A. M. Beatty, Chairman of the Publicity
Committee.
There are thirty-three orphans in this
home; twenty-two boys and eleven girls;
and they have began to wonder whether
they are to have the usual chicken
Thanksgiving dinner this year, or wheth
er some good soul will come at the last
moment and give them Turkey and sweet
potatoes.
These children are under the care of
Mother Scott, an experienced matron,
who has had charge of several successful
orphan homes.
Visitors are allowed at this home, and
are welcome any day except Sunday.
POSITIVE PROOF.
An Irishman and a Scot were arguing
as to the merits of their respective coun
tries.
“Ah, weel,” said Sandy, “they toor
doon an auld castle in Scotland and
toond manny wires under it, which shows
that the telegraph was knoon there hoon-
dreds o’ years ago.”
“Weel,” said Pat, “they toor down
an ould castle in Oireland, and begorra
there was no wires found undher it, which
shows that they knew all about wireless
telegraphy in Oireland hundreds av years
ago.”
WHEN SHE WOULD RETURN.
“I saw your mother going to one of
the neighbors just as I crossed the
street, ’ ’ said the lady caller to her
friend’s little son. ‘ ‘ Do you know when
she will be back?”
“Yes’m,” answered the truthful Jm-
my; “she said she’d be back just as
soon as you left.”
COVERED THE CASE.
Knicker—War is hell.
Henpekt—So is peace. (
“WELL, GOVERNOR, WHAT
CAN I DO FOR YOU?”
‘ 1 Good morning, my dear Life! ’ ’
“Why, hello, Governor Dix! When did
you come down from Albany!”
“This morning. Murphy said that I
could get off for the day, and I thought
I’d drop in and have a chat.”
“Well, Governor, what can I do for
you!”
“Nothing much. Murphy does about
everything. All I want is a little con
solation. ’ ’
“Well, I am strong on consolation,
Governor, and I’m willing to try it with
you. Anybody who has lived so long
with Murphy”
“Now, look here, Life, that’s what I
object to. I’m an honest man. ’ ’
‘ ‘ You alarm me! ’ ’
“I’m a courageous man.”
“You frighten me!”
“I’m a fiercely independent man.”
“You amuse me.”
“And yet, Life, I am the most mis
understood man in this country. With
all my qualities of statesmanship and
ability to lead—just because it happens
that I have been nice to Murphy—every
body thinks me just the opposite. ’ ’
‘ ‘ There’s only one way to remedy that,
Governor. ’ ’
“How!”
* ‘ Kick Murphy out, bag and bag
gage.”
“Do you know, Life, that thought had
occurred to me; but isn’t it too late
now!”
“Not necessarily, Governor. It might
re-establish your reputation. Your fierce
and untrammeled courage might at last
be revealed. Why don’t you decide to
do it!”
“Well, Life, I must confess there is
an idea there, I have it! I’ll tell you
what I’ll do!”
“Yes!”
“I’ll run up and see Murphy and find
out what ho thinks about it. ’ ’
“Splendid idea, Governor! Good
morning. ’ ’
“Good morning, Life.”
THE SWALLOW’S HOME.
The teacher in natural history had re
ceived more or less satisfactory replies
to her questions, the Delineator asserts,
and finally she asked:
“What little boy can tell me where
the homo of tho swallow is!”
Long silence. Then a hand waved.
“Well, Bobbie, where is it!”
‘ ‘ The home of the swallow, ’ ’ declared
Bobbie, seriously, “is in the stummick. ”

HAD BEEN DECORATED.
It’s easy to be generous when your
own demand is gratified. There once
was a little girl who invaded the draw
ing room where her sister’s fiance was
waiting. *
“Here,” said the child, “here is a
candy for you. ’ ’ And she gave Hilary
McMasters a hard white lozenge.
‘ ‘ Oh, what a nice white lozenge! ’ ’ said
tho young man, putting it in his mouth
and beginning to suck vigorously.
“Yes, isn’t it!” lisped the little girl.
* ‘ It was striped wiv pink once. ’ ’—
