WOMAN NEWS VENDOR, 100.
ROBBED AND AIDED ON VISIT
Mrs. Harry M. Latham, 100-year
old Washington (D. C.) seller of
newspapers, Saturday afternoon was
on her way back home after kind
and unkind experiences at the hands
of Georgians.
Traveling alone, Mrs. Latham
visited Columbus and there she said,
was robbed of her transportation
and funds.
She made her way to Atlanta and
visited the offices of the Southern
Railway, where her late husband
worked as a clerk before moving to
Washington.
At the Southern offices she was
given a pass to Washington by the
company, and was presented with
meals at a nearby hotel.
Mrs. Latham said she sells news
papers on the street in Washington.
She comes of a family whose
members nearly all have lived to a
ripe old age, she declared.
She made fine lace and tatting un
til her eyes began to fail, but even
now she rarely wears glasses, and
she said her brother, who died at
101 years, never wore them.
WARNING GIVEN TO AVOID
BURNS
** Mnvt>h, Ga.—Cold weather drives
shivering humans as closely as pos
sible to big fires. That resulted in
one death and injury to at least
three others here Sunday.
Commonly accepted advice on how
to avoid such injury or death:
First of all, don’t get too close to
flames in open fireplaces. The draft
has a tendency to suck hanging gar
ments in the fire.
If your clothing does catch fire,
don’t run. That only fans the
flames to greater destruction. Grab
a heavy garment, rug, bedclothing
or anything that can be used to
smother the flames and roll your
self in it. If someone else is the
victim, smother the flames by the
same method.
WANTED, A MAN TO LEAD
There isn’t a lad but wants to grow
Manly and true at heart,
And every lad would like to know
The secrets we impart;
He doesn’t desire to slack or shirk,
Oh, haven’t you heard him plead?
He’ll follow a man at play or work,
If only the man will lead.
Where are the men to lead today,
Sparing an hour or two,
Teaching the lads the games to
' play,
Just as a man should do?
Village and slums are calling—
Come,
Here are the boys, indeed,
Who can tell what they might be
come
If only the men would lead
—The British Gazette.
PLENTY OF TRAINS
An old mountaineer having made
his first visit to Atlanta, stopped at
the ticket office and inquired of the
agent when he could catch a train
for Gainesville, Ga.
The agent replied that 40 (mean
ing, of course, Train No. 40) would
leave in about thirty minutes.
“Well,” said the old man, “I
shorely kin ketch one of them.”
