TURNING NEW LEAVES.
Thu time of year again has come
When men make resolutions
That henceforth they will better guard
Their cash and constitutions.
Some merely make a mental vow
That they will act more wisely.
And some make oath before the squire,
Who writes it down precisely.
MRS, LOU BENSON
PIES IH ATLANTA.
She Was Formerly a Well-
Known Citizen of
Athens.
Some, thinking they're tobacco's slaves,
Again are new leaves turning
And say hereafter pipes, cigars
And tobies they'll In; spurning.
Then some who’ve used a plug each day
The habit now are raeing ;
They’ve settled that they’ll “shake” the weed,
And so they swear, off chewing.
The man who has at time indulged
In practice known as “boozing”
Perceives the error of his ways
And conscience is accusing.
He says that he no more will go
Where glasses oft are clinking ;
He'll spend his nights in better style,
And so he swears off drinking.
Pome vow no more they’ll borrovr cash
To waste In foolish spending,
And some who’ve frequently been “touched”
Decide to stop all lending.
S«»me who have often stretched the truth
Are for reform declaring,
And some who long have been profane
Now stop and swear off swearing.
Some make these vows at each year’s end,
Bat brief is reformation.
For when the testing time arrives
^can’t resist temptation,
ny to their vows adhere,
* cash and constitutions;
ierthem on, and do not scoff
i«W year resolutions.

AMONG THOSE PRESENT” WAS
MADE TO FIT MRS. LEMOYNE.
On account of her many sided person
ality and the wide scope of her versatil
ity, Mrs. LeMoyne is said to be harder to
fit with a suitable character than any
other actress on the Amerioan stage. In
her previons roles in “The Moth and the
Flame,” “Catherine,” "The Greatest
Thing in the World” and “The First
Duchess of Marlborough” Mrs. LeMoyne
scored nnqnestioned success, bnt despite
that faot her closest friends asserted that
the most congenial part was yet to be
written for her Mr. Glen MacDonongb
the well known playwright was assigned
this task for this season, and it is stated
that he has performed the work in a
highly satisfactory manner. The char
acter of Mrs, Clinton in "Among Those
Present” is a bright, sparkling leader of
New York society who gets into dif
ficulty through her tendency toward ex
travagance. The role Is said to be of a
humorous nature exactly fitted to Mrs.
LeMoyne’s rare talents as a comedienne.
There are also reported to be some situ
ations of breathless interest which cause
the audience to remember the play over
night and talk abont it to their neigh
bors the next day. The company which
manager George H. Brennan has engag
ed to support Mrs. LeMoyne Is said to
be the strongest ever seen with her in
any of her starring tours. Included in
the cast are: Harold Rnasell, Carlotta
Nillson, William Hazeltine, Olga Flinok,
George Douglas Parker, George Gaston,
Algernon Tessin, William Olagett, Nar-
tia Leonard, Cornelia Hnnter, Marion
Ashworth, Mary Blyth, Anna Zorn and
Edwin James. Mrs. LeMoyne will be
seen in “Among Those Present” at the
new opera house on Saturday night.

IN MEMORIAM.
Just as the year 1902 was drawlngtoa
close, death olaimed one of Athena’
finest citizens, Mr. Lem Wooten Cox,
He was just budding into young man
hood, being only 22 years of age, Bright
and happy was his disposition, gentle,
kind and forgiving his nature, To know
him was to love him and thoee who
knew him beet loved him most. Dur
ing his prolonged spell of illness he
showed great fortitude and bore his (of
fering heroically. His trusting child
like faith was beautiful, and showed to
all who were permitted to administer to
him in his Bickneea that the Saviour’s
promise was verified. “I shall never
leave thee nor forsake thee, my rod and
my staff shall comfort thee.” His death
was triumphant. While we hated to
see his eyes close forever on earthly
soenes, we knew that angel hand*
awaited around his bedside to bear him
to the great white throne of God. Free
from pain, free from sorrow, the gates
of death passed and victory wen. Safe
in the arms of a Christian Mother, who
bad gone before him, resting forever
under the tree of life. And while his
faithful father and sister are staggering,
heart-broken and disconsolate, under
this great blow, we can only point them
to the God who they already love and
trust for support and comfort and at hut
a re-union with their loved ones in that
beautiful land
“where no storms ever beat on that
glittering strand.
“While the years of eternity roll.”
