' 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. ” —Youth’s Companion. <*■ 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. ’ ’— Young’s Magazine. 1 ATLANTA BAGGAGE & CAB CO.
