A camel can go nine daya without a

themselves on the last night.

Pop! Fizz! Cllnk-ity-cllnk! “There,
that's enough. Here's hopin'."
Earl^r m the afternoon the news had
spread through the sober city that the
weather man predicted a slight relief
from the drought. Those who heard
slid off their stools and Into their coats
and hastened to get in line.
Inside one of the favoiite emporiums
of liquid luxuries there was a sound as
or some one knocking the bung out.
Through the key hole drifted the tinkle
of glasses whose rims kissed lovingly
In anticipation of the toasts to come.
To the poet, whose survival through
nine days had made him wonder If he
had In previous Incarnation been a
cat, a memory of another lover of the
cup returned. He murmured:
“Before the phantom of sweet memo
ries died,
Methought a voice within the tavern
cried,
‘When all tjje toddies are prepared
within,
‘Why nods the thirsty sufferer out
side?' "
“A*Waitin' at the Door. H
But to the jostling crowd on the
sidewalk who waited until the proprie
tor could dust off his bar and put on a
new apron the time seemed Intermina
ble. Down the street a hand organ was
playing and a monkey—a real monkey,
for this was after a nine days' drought
—begged for pennies. The watchers
clung to their coin. It was once more
worth while to have money. But some
one caught up the hand organ's tune
and the crowd sang:
“Here am 1, a-waltln' at the door.
Waitin' at the door, waitin' at the door.
I’m goln* to have a dozen beers, or
more—
My, how it will upset me.
By and by, the mayor'll send a note.
Then we’II simply lloat, Jolly as a goat,
Can't stay away, to wait another day,
.My thirst won’t let me."
Suddenly the sound of a key turning
In the lock Interrupted the song. Back
swung the door of llfe-satlng station
number one. In rushed the parched
and sun-dried ones to where the foun
tain of fizz gave forth promise of plen
ty. Then they hesitated. They didn't
know what to order.
.“All right, gents! Name It! Name
it! What's yours, sir?" This from the
white-aproned ones who are friends to
all the world—with the price. They
had already had their lift-saver.
Visions of Bliss.
The first man to reach the bar was
undecided. Through his brain rushed
a vision of gin rlckeys with sparkling
bubbles. Juleps with emerald mead
ows concealing a mine of Ice, cock
tails with cherries red and green, tall
foam-tossed schooners sailing across
the bar. He collected himself with a
Jerk and spoke.
“Gl’mme a Manhattan, a Martini,
four beers, a gin-fizz, a quart of bub
ble water and a sack of salt and let
'em come all together," he chirped.
“I’m here to stay till 10!"
.The bartender eyed him In reproof.
Then he set out a tall bottle of old
bourbon, a glass and a chaser.
“You'll drink straight whisky," he
remarked. “What do you think I am?
An octopus with a thousand arms?
You get busy with that booze. There's
others waitin'.”
Soldiers Storm the Castle.
At Broad and Alabama streets an
East Point car stopped suddenly, and
from both ends dropped soldier after
soldier, clad In khaki, and all fum
bling toward-their pockets. For a mo
ment It looked like a riot, but It was
only an attack on the fort In the next
block. The news had reached Fort
McPherson and us many as could get
leave had rushed to the front.
“I wasn't mindin’ goln’ to Cuby until
now," remarked Sergeant Boggs
Corporal Biggs, “but to leave now*
would be desertin' in the face of the
enemy. Let’s kill some more of the
enemy. Fill ’em all up again, Char
ley. We’ll be buyln* Cuban beer at
fifty per In a week."
From 6 o'clock to 10 the satoons were
kept too busy to mix a drink. Noth
ing but straight beer or whisky went
during the rush hours, and every re
quest for a fizz or a rlckey was frown
ed upon and forgotten. When the clos
lng hour arrived and the doors were
once more closed one proprietor re
marked to his white-clad assistant:
“I’ll bet some of these cuburban fel
lers that arrived too late for the big
show will be roostin’ on the step In the
inornln’. Well, It's been a good day
after a long dry spell."
But then—
They will be closed tight again on
Wednesday.

DOCTRINE OF DEPRAVITY
KEPT MINISTERS OUT OF
E VA NGELICA L A SSOCIAI ION
\ a belief In total hereditary de
pravity an essential to membership In
the Evangelical Ministers' Association?
Does “total” depravity mean the same
thing ns "utter” depravity, and what
does either mean? Do the members
believe in either or both?
Those were the questions before the
association Monday morning when the
nnme of the Rev. H. K. Pendleton,
pastor of the new Christian church,
was proposed for membership. Dr.
Pendleton rose and said:
"Brethren, I have been placed In an
awkward position. I have long want
ed to Join your body, but your consti
tution requires that I sign my name as
subscribing to certain beliefs. Among
them Is that I believe* In total heredi
tary depravity. I don't. I can't do It."
There was a long pause. The sec
retary turned over the pages of the
constitution and discovered that It was
utter" and not "total" depravity. No
body volunteered to expluin the dif
ference.
Dr. John E. White came to the res
cue. He said:
believe that the constitution
meant no limitations of this sort. I
don't regard myself as subscribing to
anybody's Interpretation of our con
stitution but my own. I have no doubt
that our brother's belief on the doc
trine of depravity Is all that could be
desired, and I move his election.”
And Dr. Pendleton was elected unan
imously. The Rev. Bernard P. Smith,
also pastor of a Christian church, rose
and expressed a desire to become a
member under the same circum
stances. He, too, had been unable to
subscribe to the doctrine of total he
reditary depravity and breathed a
sigh of relief as he was elected with
out having to commit himself.
“According to that constitution we
shall have to call for an expression of
faith from all our members," said Dr.
J. H. Bakes, presiding elder of the dis
trict. *
“It is time for us to revise that con
stitution." remarked Dr. George H
Mack. “We ought to meet as minis
ters of the city churches, without ask
ing each other’s belief on this question
of doctrine or that. I move a com
mittee be appointed to look into the
matter.”
The committee will bo appointed,
and hereafter no applicant for mem
bership will feel bound by the hair
that “divides, perhaps, the false and
true.”
COTTON IN ALABAMA

Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 2.—The
weather is so bad* In Alabama It Is
doubtful If there will be connections

It takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for a despairing patient, Instead of
resorting to the usual list of medicines.
There are some truly scientific phy
sicians among the present generation
who recognize and treat conditions ns
they are and should be yea ted, regard
less of the value to their pockets.
Here's an Instance:
"Four years ago I was taken with
severe gastritis and nothing would stay
in my stomach, so that I w.as on the
rerge of starvation.
“I heard of a doctor who had a sum
mer cottage near me—a specialist from
New York—and as a last hope, sent for
him.
"After he examined me carefully he
advised me to try a small quantity of
Grape-Nuts at first, then as my stom
ach became stronger to eat more.
•i kept at it and gradually got so 6
could eat and digest three teasptxmfuls.
Then I began to have color Jn my face,
memory became clear, wheie before
everything seemed
got stronger and I
steadily recovered.
"Now, after a year on Grape-Nuts, I
weigh 152 pounds. My people were
surprised at the way I grew fleshy and
strong on this food." Name given by
