The man whp.ls ready with cash when It 1s needed. How many men can date tb*^ beginning of life's failure from the day that they first felt the dire need of ready caah? Many who could not borrow missed the great opportunity to get started on the right road to wealth. J. D. Rockefeller worked night and day, putting aside each penny until lie had money enough to go Into busi ness for himself. Russell Sage worked live years In order to start a dry goods store In Troy. N. Y., on $30. It was these little savings that started these men on tlio road to their great wealth. When the children of this modern day are being told of the hatchet of Q. Washington, the thrifty Russell Sage and' many other cases It would be well in cite for them the bank books whleh these men had from the start. Wash ington in particular was noted for his businesslike methods and his cash ac count. The man or boy who has some ready money In the bank has a feeling of In dependence and healthfulness secured In no other way. He feels that he Is not dependent on the world and this spurs him on to the better things. Many people In their older days lay the fact of thetr failure to the fact that they had no money with which to start ivhcn they were young. Shakespeare must have been thrifty In spite of history, when he wrote "There Is a tide In the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." Talk with any of the big financiers, and they will tell you that they took their tide at the flood from the start with a saving account. Every American millionaire today will tay that: the foundation of 1 bis fortune .was laid In the, few dollars that he saved when young. Marshall Field bought an Interest In the Arm for whom lie worked With the few dollars he had saved. John Wanamaker, from a salary of $1.50 a week, saved 10 cents a day car fare by walking ten miles to and from his work, hoping some day to have money enough to buy a business for himself so that he could ride In his own car riage. Of course every one can not be a Field, Rockefeller, Sage or Wanamaker, but the experiences of these great mon. ey kings points out the way to money making, and most of us can save some thing each week. Even tho It may be small, the little things go to make up big things and one brick Is an Im- R ortant part In the foundation of a ulldlng. Philosophers contend that the curse of the world Is debt, and, that debt Is fed and nourished by the big army of spenders who prefer to be constantly in deep water rather than save for the future. To these failure Is bound to come. Don’t be classed among the failures. Don't be classed among the spenders. Don't be stingy or selfish or miserly; but save what little you can each day, week or month. Lay the foundation for a fortune, that, altho It may never be large, will be sufficient to oover expenses when worst needed. Start an account today. BERTHA A. RICH. FOUR COPS NEARLY SHOOT - EACH OTHER IN THE DARK Mistaking one another for burglars, four policemen came near figuring In a hot time Thursday morning shortly aft. er finding that the store of L. W. Rogt en, IZ't Forrest-ave., had been robbed. It was the prompt recognition of fa miliar voices that prevented a fight. Just after the break In the store had been discovered Sergeant Chewntngand Policeman McHugh, thinking the bur glars might return for more booty, hid themselves In the rear of the store to await developments. And these were not long In coming. The police station had been notified! of the burglary, and Call Officers Wat son and Haney hastened to the scene. Finding the front door of tho store open, lust as It had been left by the burglars, the two officers went Inside to malfc an Investigation, without susplr cion that two brother offleers'were al ready hiding In the store. At the same moment Sergeant Chewn- Ing and Officer McHugh discerned the two dark forms approaching from the front. . „ . ... "There they come flow. Get ready.” whispered Sergeant Chewning. as he drew his revolver. McHugh followed suit. "Throw up your hands. We’ve got you,", suddenly commanded the sergeant ns he lumped out In front of the sup posed burglars. "Throw up your hands yourself. Don't move or I'll kill you,” shouted back. Watson as hs covered the ser geant. McHugh and Haney had also flashed their revolvers at the moment Sergeant Chewning gave his command, and the four officers, were all staring Into tho muzzles of revolvers. But It was all over In a llffy. In the darkened store there had been a general recognition of voices, and the four An gers on as many triggers quickly re laxed. "Put down that pistol. George Wat son, you rascal,” exclaimed Sergeant Chewning with a laugh. "All right, 'Barge,’ I’ll do that very thing," replied Watson aa he shoved his gun back In his scabbard. “Well, we had you all right," re marked McHugh. "Not on your tin type—we had you fellows to rights,” reiolned Haney. And the four officers lolned In hearty laugh—congratulating one an other on their escape from such a doss call. • CITY HALL Mayor’s Appointments to Com mittees as Yet Unknown. Members Up in Air. MRS.

Recorder Pro - Tem Preston, who Is also clerk of police court, assumed the role of a star witness Friday morning when Quinn Calloway, a business man living at 142 Poplar circle, was ar raigned a* a professtonal bondsmhn without a license. The technical charge, as docketed by Inspector Buchanan, was doing business without a license. Judge Preston produced ten bonds, mostly In blind tiger cases, which he testified had been signed by Calloway. He also said Calloway was surety on numerous other bonds not now In his possession. _ , To Recorder Broyles, Calloway ad mitted that he had signed bonds on re quest of lawyers, and further admitted that he had signed a number of blank bonds, to be fllled out later by lawyers —having no Idea for whom he was to stand surety. He said Attorney John A. Boykin, for whom he had signed bonds, had remunerated him, but that others had not. An Investigation was nude wwnjj? and It was ftund. It Is said, that $7,000 or $$.000 In bonds, signed by Calloway, had been forfeited and been found worthless. Following tnis revelation, police court authorities have refused to accept Calloway on any more bond*. He was lined $25.76 by Judge Broyles for signing bonds without a license. YALE MAN WOULD SOLVE THE HIGH COST OF LIVING Washington, Dee. 29.—International commissioners, vested with a power to co-operate In reducing the coat of liv ing, were advocated by Dr. Irving Fish er* of Yale, before the AmericsnAseo- clatlon for the Advancement of Science today.

Wright, a farmer living in White county and who Is on his way to Ducktown, Tenn., alighted from a train In the Terminal station Thursday night he was approached by two ne- S roes, he says, who volunteered to con- uct him to a good boarding house. A stranger In the city, he accepted their proposition. The negroes then led him to Hunter-st. and Pledmont-avc., where they suddenly halted, one cover ing him with a revolver, and command. Ing him to throw up his hands, and the other rifling his pockets. Obtaining a watch, the hold-up men then fled, warn ing the farmer he had better not at tempt to follow them. Wright reported the robbery to tho police, but no trace of the obliging highwaymen could be found.

Page, of Oriann, a small station five miles south of here, was burned to the ground Thursday. The fire was supposed to l»e of an incendiary na ture. The guilty parties have not been detected. Jt's like a calm before a storm around city‘hall. Mayor Winn himself says he has promised no mepiber of council a com mlttae chairmanship nor made known to any of them his committee appoint ments. The members of council are, therefore, “hands alt" concerning the projects for next year, for no man knows what his special work will be. The different departments are pre paring their requesta for appropria tions; but no Intimation of what will be given aa special appropriations to each can be secured from Comptroller Goldsmith and the new finance com mittee being unknown, all the heads of departments seem resigned to the attitude of taking a chance along with their fellows. But that the next year will be a strenuous one Is obvious to all. The city la outgrowing many of lls Insti tutions, the most striking example of which Is the clamor for an Increased police and fire departments. The bond Issue has greatly extended the schools, sewers and waterworks, requiring lar ger appropriations for maintenance. The garbage problem Is still unsolved, and two projects of the mayor’s which will cause some lively tilts In council, will be the removal of the Boys High schbn] to Piedmont park and the sale of the stockade. Higher Tax Assessment. The need of these many more lm provements, the latest of which Is a recommendation from the water de partment for an expenditure of about $40,000 to provide for a take to take care of the waste water at the Hemp hill station, will bring on the usual agi tation for an Increase of tax assess ments. It Is already estimated by lead ing members of council that the In crease In assessments next year will swell the city’s revenue $200,000. But this will not supply the many urgent demands. ■ • When the finance committee meets to make up the sheet It will face very difficult problem, that of making ends wide apart, meet. And It Is as serted by many member, of council thnt a very vigorous policy of retrench ment will he pursued, probably result ing In discontinuing many Jobs. Changes Hands Monday. Tilings will begin to happen next Monday when the old council hands the reins of government to the new council. Mayor Winn Is preparing a very elabo rate message on the year’s work, and he will make a number of recommen dations for Improvements. It Is also expected that he will touch upon char ter revisions. It Is conceded that the coming year will be a time for a num ber of efforts to change the charter, tho the efforts on both sides will be confined almost solely to council The meeting of the new council Mon day night will probably be the most interesting of the whole year to mem bers of council; for, as said before, no rise now has any definite Idea of what committee appointments he will get. Mayor Is Conciliatory. The policy of the mayor la obviously one of conciliation. He seems to be working to bring about a co-operation between all factions and between the council and himself. Therefore, much fireworks In council that was expected a few months ago will never be ahot off. The men who have fought the may or on different proposltlona will not be rought by the mayor nor dlicrimlnated against In committee appointments. The mayor’s policy Is to rsrry out cer tain project* of material Improvements, of which building the Bellwood viaduct selling the stockade, building a Tenth ward school and an Engllsh-rommer- RAILROADERS GIVE THANKS FOR ESCAPES OF PAST YEAR Two years ago trainmen and other employees of the Western and Atlantic railroad In Atlanta Inaugurated a cus tom of conducting at each Christmas season an annual praise and thanks giving service because their lives had been spared another year, tho they constantly faced death In train wrecks and the like.

Wootbrtght, an engineer, la chair man of the arrangements commltteo and M. W. Layton, a machinist, Is sec retary. During the past year but two W. * A. trainmen have met death.

Nutting will be chairman of the tax committee. Charles W. Smith will head the ordinance committee. W. G. Hum phrey will again be chairman of the police committee. John E. McClelland will be the chairman of the commit tee on electrical affairs, the place he now holds James E. Warren Is said to be the man selected fnr the echools committee. Councllmen Chambers and Hatcher will likely be reappointed chairmen of the sewers and streets committees, respectively. The two races for board Jobs, the Second ward police hoard place nnd the Third ward park hoard membership, seemed to be settled. W. P. Fein will be elected to the police board and R. A. Burnett to the park board. But the race for mayor nro tem Is a live thif quiet fight. Both the friends of Judge Candler and Alderman A. J. Johnson claim that their favorites will be elected.
