THE ATLANTA SEMI- WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 190£. THE MAN ON THE PEDESTAL By Stuart B. Stone fiWi I ' THEY GATHERED AROUND AND SCRUTI NIZED ME. Trom Mentone and Monte Carlo, from Stirling castle and the Prater and the Blarney atone, from all the great and quaint show places ot the old world way. I returned serosa the sea to the place of my nativity, tc see Corinne Barth. Miss Barth was reputed beautiful nr any Olympian goddess, and once upou a time her father had cornered eggs or wheat or but terbeans and amassed a decent fortune. My friends had cabled me home, declaring it the golden ch., nee of a lifetime. Some rcckletfs ;>ers<>na hrd sur.g my praises In the lady's ears. It was the boldest attempt at match making; but from what I had heard 1 was very glad to leave the Riviera for the golden chance. As for Miss Barth—-well, I should see her on the morrow. In the meanwhile I must be amused. My eye encountered the sign: "Bonatelll'a Museum of Wonders in Wax.” After a bit I found myself wishing to be bsck in the Casino grounds of bls highness ot Monaco—or at the dainty feet of Miss Barth, heiress. Then I saw the empty pedestal. Some worthy ancient had grown dingy in sei vice. They had removed him to be cleaned. Ills blip* and yellow robe lay in a heap tn the corn--; - . Moved by a mad whim I threw the garish toga about my shoulders, removed my hat and stepped in the absent wax man's pla'.e. No one had seen. I frowned like Vul can hen-jH-ek<<’ and waited. The first to observe was a tot of 7. "See the old. uggy man, momtner!” be shrieked. I cannos say that 1 was greatly enjoying myself. I relaxed my countenance and en d< avor»s! to smile. I had no sooner twisted my face into this i lensant repose ti-an a bevy ot charming young women, with a group ot small children and a dragon of a chaperone, hove into sight. They gathered around and scruti nised ue, consulting the catalogs. "What a large, hideous nose!” observed a girl. "It is probably one of the harpies."* "Nonsense!’’ said the prettiest. "Napoleon had a hlg nose. I think the figure is very commanding." As the others looked at her I squared up my figure tremendously. 1 was sorry that 1 cottl-l not fold >ny arms like the Little Corporal. She was decidedly the prettiest girl • I have ever aeen. ‘•Note the gross, carnal features.” said the old dragnn. "If they were not ao hideous I should say It was Bacchus." "Hideous nothing!" spoke up my champion. "They are Indeed godlike. But tuore lite Mars or A poll us " How my heart warmed to her! How —— I felt a sharp, exec iclatlng pain, line of the urchins terrible had stolen behind and was amusing himself by thrusting a pin Into my leg. 1 stood tbe pain stoically, but probably SII,OOO DAMAGES GIVEN TO ENGINEER BY COURT ROME. Ga., Oct. 9—ln Floyd city court this afternoon a verdict of SII,OOO damages was rendered in the case of F. H. Ansley against the Southern railway. Ansley was an engineer and lost a leg in a wreck near Birmingham in March of 1908. The railroad's attorneys have given no tice of an appeal to a higher court. Reu ben Arnold, of Atlanta, and Barry Wright, of Rome, represented the plain tiff. Pointed Paragraphs From the Chicago News. Idleness is the master key to poverty. We are apt to look upon candid friends as enemies. ’trouble never tries to dodge people who are looking for it. A tragedy is a comedy that fails to make good at the box office. The younger a man is the more he knows about women—he thinks. Even a deaf man seldom overlooks an Invitation to take something. When a man begins to blow In his money a lot of people get wind of It. World’s Highest Telephone The highest telephone line in the world, to ♦he Queen Margherita Observatory, ou Monte Rosa, over 15,000 feet high, has jnst been com pleted. and Prof Mosso will now be able to communicate with the Queen tn Rome. The ob it rvatory and the telephone line, which has been constructed at the expense of th Queen, took six years to complete. Over several stretches tbe telephone posts have been Im bedded In ice, and tbe wires stretch over the Col d’Olen (10.000 feet) to the observatory, in which Prof. Mosso spends the greater part of the year. The new line will be of great help to Alpinists in distress on Monte Rosa.—Ge neva Correspondent London Express. Remedying Matters He—Do you know that as long as I have known you I have never seen you dressed in white? » She—lndeed! Are you, then, so partial to the color? He—Not exactly that; but whenever I see a girl dressed in white I am al ways tempted to kiss her. She—Will you excuse me for a quarter of an hour?—Judge. The Lesser of Two Dislikes "So you are seeking employment, my boy! Do you love work?” "No; but I hate school." I winced. The old dragon chaperone drew closer and etared. I think she was suspl— “Great nebulous wraiths of Caesar!” 1 shouted, and achieved a tew high vaulting reord <tt that pedestal. The imp behind bad driven the pin in to the bead. "Oh, the wretch!” cried the old dame. "Cut this imposter <ut!" The guards littr led tip and laid rough bands on me. I had exti acted tbe ptn and teit bet ter. "Stand back!” I cried. In my most god like tones "I was given permission to stand there and gather material for u story. 1 am Arthur Langdon lb mphfil”— “Arthur Hemphill!” cried my divine chain pion, with a heavenly blush. "1 ant Miss Barth—oh, how foolhhly I praised you!" "You are a goddess," I murmured, bowing lew. "But I have cut a ridiculous figure." "No, no—l adore original men," wbntpereo Miss Barth, dimpling deliciously. Then, nndei her breitlt, as 1 leaned nearer, "Godlike, cou mandlng men —like Napoleon, or Mars, or Apollus. And I shall be at home this evening —Mr. HeuivhlU.” RYAN if RETIRE FROM WALL STREET Loss of Control of Seaboard Is Believed to Be Proof of Report That Railroad Man Plans Re tirement. NEW YORK. Oct. 9—The ousting of Thomas F. Ryan, as a member of the board of directors of the Seaboard Air Line, is believed in the financial district to be additional proof of the report about a week ago, that he is rapidly ridding himself of all the responsibilities of cor poration directorships with the view of actually retiring from active business. As regarding the Seaboard Air Line, it is believed in Wall street that the road within a few weeks will come from the hands of the receivers and that then the reorganizations will be effected with most of the old officers who were driven out by Ryan reinstated. Mr. when seen at the Wal dorf-Astoria hotel tonight, refused to dis cuss the affairs of the company. John Skelton Williams, the Richmond banker, whom Ryan drove from the presidency of the Seaboard a few years ago, after a bitter fight, was re-elected to the board and it is generally under stood that he will resume the presidency now that Ryan’s Influence is no longer dominating the company's policies.

It stated that Boyd was a friend of Mitchell and that Mitchell was ill, out of a job and badly in need of money* The detectives who got possession of the let ter supposed that Boyd was a real per son, and figured that by getting in touch with him they would find Mitchell. But to the gratification and surprise of the officers, when they located Boyd they found that Boyd and Mitchell were one and the same. KILLS 'HIS WTFE ON THREAT OF DIVORCE KOKOMO, Ind.. Oct. B.—William Robi son shot and killed his wife in a dry goods store here late yesterday, when she reiterated her intention of bringing suit for divorce.

'SKIRT TORN TO SHREDS IN SPOKES OF WHEEL Divested of a large portion of a black silk skirt by a passing push-wagon, oper ated by two negro urchins, was the pecu liar and rather embarrassing experience of Mrs. Nancy L. Queen, of 318 Simpson street, widow of Policeman David Queen, while standing at Edjiewood avenue and Bell streets late Thursday afternoon. George Williams and Clem Dawson. ' aged 7 and 6 years, came down the side i walk at a fast clip, and either failed ito see Mrs. Queen or saw her too late to swerve. One end of the front axle caught in her skirt about ten inches from the ground, and in a trice the garment was ruined, a strip just that wide being torn off around the bottom as smoothly and regularly as if cut by shears. She caught the wagon and held it while a nearby groceryman telephoned for po lice assistance, and Call Officers Wood and West arrested the little negroes. COMMISSION TURNS DOWN SHERIFFS OF GEORGIA The sheriffs of Georgia and their depu ties must continue to pay railroad fare or hoof it, according to the decision hand ed down by the railroad commission Fri day Some time ago the sheriffs petitioned the commission for right to ride free on railroads.
