Besides he is one of the most popular officers in Georgia and has friends by the hundred who will regret that the military appropriation is not suf ficient to keep him constantly em ployed .

Scheme by Which Brown ftnleled Ills Wife’s Suspicion. To be perfectly honest. Brown does not go to his Griswold street office every night that he tells his wife he Is going there. The business which he says is pressing is frequently imagi nary and the man whom he is going to meet does not exist. He belongs to a club, and clubs have their attrac tions. He thought that his wife was growing suspicious, and Brown is re sourceful. On the evening in question, as the lawyers would say. he told her that there was a matter of business that could not possibly be deferred until the next day. About 9 o’clock she answer ed the ’phone and was asked if Brown was at home, and she replied that he was at his office. “Guess not,” was the alarming re spouse. “I was just down there and all looked dark ” She rang off viciously, if women wer do such things, ordered a coupe, told the driver to go as fast as the ordi nance allows, kept taking on temper as she went and flew up stairs to the office as though a mouse were in hot pursuit. Her husband met her smil ingly. insisted that she had given him a delightful surprise, put his easiest chair near the light handed her a pa per and apologized for having to re sume work that would possibly keep him till 3. She could not explain, she could not keep awake, she was asham ed of herself, and after lamely telling him that she had dreamed that he was ill she left. In ten minutes he was at the club and shook hands with a man who smil ingly asked if the scheme worked. He replied that it was as good as ready money for at least CO days, and then each bought a stack of chips that pass in the night.—Detroit Free Press. Go to Woodard and Bethune’s.
