Something new, eh? Well, confi
dentially, the reason why you only kill
about one out of four quail you shoot
at is that your gun does not fit you. It
is more essential for your gun to fit
than it is for your shoes or your coat.
Now, an expert shot can take any old
gun and do fairly good work, but we
want to help the amateur and the nov
ice by selling him a gun that fits and
by telling him the correct load to
shoot, etc.

with all grades and styles of guns, am

DINING CAR CONDUCTOR
DIDN'T KNOW’! WAS BR\AN;
GAVE HIM A R’AW DEAL
A dining car conductor on the Sea
board Air Line Is now an humble and
a chastened man.
William Jhnnlngs Bryan, the great
commoner, worked the miracle on the
autocrat of the rail. And Mr. Bryan
does not yet,know what a great serv
ice he has rendered the traveling pub,
lie In unconsciously breaking the au
tocratlc spirit of the dining car czar.
The Incident happened during the
present week, while Mr. Bryan was
traveling between Charlotte and Fay
etteville, N. C. The Nebraskan board
ed the train at Charlotte at sunrise.
The air was sharp, and a suggestion of
coming winter was In It. Mr. Bryan
took his seat quietly in the day coach
with the general public, although he
could have had the comforts of a Pull
man after reaching Monroe.
Between Hamlet nnd Monroe, on the
main line of the Seaboard, with tho
train speeding along at a to-mile clip,
the dining car was thrown open for
breakfast. Mr. Bryan responded to the
"first call” with a promptness that In
dicated a line appetite.
He wore a close-fitting akull-cap
with a black bill to the front, making It
easy to peel from the polished dome of
tho man from Nebraska. This head-
gear was not doffed aa Mr. Bryan sat
at a tablo and scanned the menu with
an expectant bearing.
A trim, sleek young conductor In
charge of the car looked with disap
proving eye on the big man and his
cap. After waiting a due length of
time, he walked up and tapped the
broad back of the wearer of the ob
jectionable cap with his forefinger:
"Please remove your cap. It Is not
proper for guests of the dining car to
wear hats nt their meals,” he said.
"I beg your pardon," was the reply,
“hut I have a slight cold, and aa the
day la chill, I fear more cold If I do not
wear ray cap.”
With this gracious statement and
apology the conductor withdrew, wear
ing an expression of duty faithfully
discharged. As he passed down the
aisle a traveler stopped him.
"Do you know the man to whom you
hove been spooking up there?" he
asked.
No,” was the reply. "I have Just
called him down about wearing his
ip In the car, but he said he had n
cold, ao I let It go. Who is the guy,
anyway? Do you know him?"
"I do not know him personally,” re
plied the traveler, "but 1 have heard
of him many time* and know hint by
national reputation."
■Say, who Is he?" asked the conduc
tor In n husky whisper, visions of a se.
THAT REBATE
Yes, some Life agents will rebate you. They
have to. Rut the good busiuess man knows there
is no profit in getting a “rake-off” for one year and
thereafter paying an increased price for life. . That’s
simply borrowing trouble. The Northwestern doesn’t
allow rebates. No truly mutual does. Reasonable
commissions to agents and one price to everybody is
the only square way in Life Insurance. That’s
what the Northwestern does, and that’s why it can,
and does, pay the largest dividends.
“GET RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET WRITTEN”

rlous blunder looming before him.
"William Jennings Bryan, of Nebras
ka," was the reply.
"The h—1 you say," gasped the un
happy official, staggering back. "Ain’t
I the fresh boy? Just told him haughtl.
ly to get^that lid off. That ain’t the
worst of it, though. When he answered
the first call for breakfast I thought
him some big farmer or country poli
tician. I had a new waiter, a raw,
country coon, who had never served a
dining table In his life. So I broke that
negro In on the man who has twice
been a candidate for the presidency of
the United Htates, and Ib likely to be
it again. Maybe I ain’t a fat-head."
He went away quite unhappy. Sev
eral times he nmde little starts toward
Bryan as though he wanted to
apologize. But he never quite got his
nerve up to It. Presently Mr. Bryan
arose, unconscious of the unhappiness
he was causing the conductor, and re
tired to the day co^ch, where he sat
reading until he arrived at his desti
nation.
’I guess I am ft goner,” moaned the
conductor. ’Say, won’t Mr. Bryan
think the Seaboard is giving him a
h—1 of a ride. And won’t he think a
deal of the service given him on this
car! Say, If nothing more cornea of
this, you may guess that this boy don’t
Jump at conclusions about people trav
eling In his car In the future. You
can’t tell when you have somebody that
amounts to something."
As Mr. Bryan is r very democratic
man, It Is, extremely doubtful If he
gave the Incident a second thought. But
he has reformed at least one autocrat
of the dining car, which Is a deal In
the way of reform.

CAS CO, WINNER
IN TEST HEARING
The first decialon of the Georgia rail,
road commission affecting public mu
nicipal utility corporations, over which
authority was given by the newly en-
I acted Candlor-Overstreet bill, was ren-
I tiered Thursday afternoon when the
I commission refused to require the At
lanta Gas Light Company to furnish
a slot meter and supply gas to h\ L.
Ingraham. The decision was arrived at
and rendered after an extended hearing
and careful consideration of the facts
ns submitted, as it sot a precedent
and tested the reasonableness of tho
rules of the edmpony.
Mr. Ingraham had been a customer
of the gas company and had become
indebted to it In a sum In excess of
$20, and had refused to pay. His meter
was, therefore, removed.
Later Mr. Ingraham gave three
notes, agreeing to pay the old bill In
monthly installments, whereupon the
company placed a slot meter in his
resilience. When the time came for Mr.
Ingraham to pay the first of the three
notes he refused, and his slot meter
was removed. He instituted suit against
the gas company in the sum of $5,000,
and in addition went before tho railroad
commission with a request to require
the gas company to furnish him with
gas.
The decision of too railroad com
mission wus rendered In the following
language:
"The commlslson Is of the opinion
that, under the facts developed by the
evidence In this case. It Is reasonable
for said company to require either a
bond or a deposit, as provided In Its
rules, before the said company can be
required to place a meter, cither of the
ordinary kind or a slot meter, on the
"Ordered. That the prayer of the
petitioner be denied. By order of the
board. (Signed) S. G. McLendon,
hairman; George Montgomery, secre
tary.”
The right of a public utility corpora
tion to require a deposit, and the rea-
Honablenesf of the rules of the Atlanta
Gas Light Oompany were questions In. I
volved and brought out by this hear
ing,* on which the commission had to i
render a decision.
The gas company was represented by I
I Vice President P. 8. Arkwright and At-
‘ tomey Thod Hammond, while Mr. In
graham was represented by Attorney
(Thomas Goodwin. The suit for $5,000
'was brought through Attorney James
L. Key.

DR. HARPER,
7HIS IS BR } AN'S SIXTH VISIT
TO GATE C1T L OF THE SOUTH
William Jennings Bryan Is no stran
ger In Atlanta. This Is Ills sixth visit to
the Gate City of the South.
He first came here when a member of
congress,, and Atlanta' demonstrated
then Its appreciation of the brilliant
young Nebruskan, who was twice to be
the nominee of his party—maybe thrice,
who can say?
Following the victory of William Mc
Kinley, but with the country still thrill
ing with that matchless "cross of gold
and crown of thorns" climax of Bryan
in the Chloogo convention, Captain
"Bunch" McBee, of Portsmouth. Va.,
wired Mr. Bryan an offer of $50,090 for
fifty lectures, which offer was accepted.
Atlanta was named as the point for
the first lecture. On December 23 Mr.
Bryan came nnd spoke on "The Ancient
Landmarks" In the Grand opera house.
It was one of the largest and most
brilliant audiences ever assembled hero
to hear a lecture. Every seat In the
great playhouse was filled and hun
dreds stood throughout the lecture.
While that audience appeared satis
fied with the lecture, Mr. Bryan was
not, and he promptly cancelled the re
maining forty-nine dutes. That lec
ture, In the light of latter-day devel
opments. was a complete and yet tem-
perute arraignment of twentieth cen
tury evils In economic and political af
fairs.
It was unquestionably an essay of
great strength, but It lacked the orator
ical fervor and fire expected of the man
who had mado the famous oration In
Chicago. As a lecture there was no
denying that It was a fiat failure. In
stead of flowers of speech and brilliant
sentences, the lecture was made up of
figures and solid facts.
At this lecture Mr. Bryan was intro
duced by the late Judge Hal T. Lewis,
who had seized the opportunity ami
nominated the Nebraskan In Chlcag".
Governor William Y. Atkinson was
master of ceremonies. Tho social side
of that first visit was particularly bril
liant. A luncheon by the Yonng Men's
Democratic League was fallowed by a
reception at the executive mansion.
Afterwards Mr. Bryan was entertained
by the Fulton Club.
Two years later Mr. Bryan passed
through Atlanta and spoke In the hall
of the house of representatives, which
was packed to suffocation. On Sep
tember 20 of last year Mr. Bryan spoke
In the auditorium at Ponce DeLeon to a
great audience.
While the personnel of those In polit
ical ascendency In Georgia has change)
many times since that first memorable
visit of Mr. Bryan, his popularity with
and hold on the people remains undt-
mlntshed. In fact, with increasing years
and growth In statesmanship, Mr. Bry
an today Is stronger, perhaps, than ever
with the masses.
Atlanta nnd Georgia always greets
him with whole-hearted hospitality and
listens to his words attentively, and
believlngly, as a genera] thing.
