I Fool the Robbers
Uncle Kogev, in telling of his latest experience,
said, “By gnm, l got robbed. I stuck my hands right
up in the air just as they told me to and they picked me
clean. It’s a good thing I didn’t have my gun along—
they'd have got that too.”
Every once in a while that sort of thing happens.
It can easily be avoided. How? By keeping your money
in our bank and paying your bills by check. The rob
bers may hold you up sometime, but they don’t care a
whoop for your check book. It’s money they want.
Keep your money in our burglar-proof vault and fool
thv robbers.

Who Is This New
Atlanta Assailant
Os State Officials?
For the informaHon of those who
have read an article sent out from
Atlanta to the press of the state,
over the signature of N. L. Huff, as
sailing the integrity of the members
of the Railroad Commission of Geor
gia, also the pubiic utilities of the
state, and so that the public may
draw its own conclusions as to the
reliability of L. N. Huff, below is
republished a card which originally
appeared in the Atlanta Journal.
The absence of Floyd Woodward
from Atlanta at .his time is unfor
tunate for the advocates of Munici
pal Ownership. He would probably
also advocate the abolition of the
Criminal Courts as well as the Rail
road Commission:
Atlanta, Ga.,
Jan. 26th, 1921.
“Editor The Atlanta Journal:
“In your issue ot January 16th you
published a card fre m Dr. L. N. Huff
about the recent gas rate hearing be
fore the Railroad Commission of
Georgia.
“Any one who was present at this
hearing would not lecognize the case
from Dr. Huff’s newspaper presenta
tion of it. As a matter of fact, it
was perfectly plain to all those pres
ent that neither Dr. Huff nor his
lawyers had any understanding of
case, and his card tries still further
to fool the people of the State. Huff
didn’t put up any witnesses, hut the
questions his lawyers asked the Com
pany’s witnesses displayed such to
tal ignorance of the subject matter
as to make Dr. Huff the butt for the
ridicule of the audience.
“I am surprised to see Dr. Huff in
his card making pretensions of pub
lic decency.’ Probably he thinks the
people of this town have forgotten
his criminal and other court record
in Atlanta. Why doesn’t he tell
them about a suit that J. Kahn
brought against him in the Superior
Court of Fulton County in August.
1919. Kalin accused Huff of con
spiring with Hogsed and another
party to defraud him in a gambling
game; that in pursuan -e of this con
spiracy they invited him to a room
in the Princeton Hotel on August
29th, 1919, and gave him a. drink of
liquor, which he alleges had been
drugged, and that he was made
drunk and sick and mentally irres
ponsible; that while he was in this
condition they got him to join in a
game of craps and took all the money
that he had; that 1,. N. Huff got
about S2OO of his money. L. N. Huff
was found guilty in the Criminal
Court of Atlanta and fined $250 for
his part in the crap game, and in ad
dition to that L. N. Huff paid Kahn
the sum of S2OO in settlement of the
suit above mentioned, which was the
full amount Kahn claimed that Huff
got away from him. On this record
T don’t think that Dr. 1,. N. Huff
has any license to talk about public
decency, for certainly he doesn’t
know what it is.
“Yours very truly.
“H. M. ATKIXSOX.
‘‘Chairman.’’

it brings color to the cheek 3 and how

GUEST MUST HAVE APPETITE
Stamina and Endurance Also Needed
for. Consuming "Simple Little
Dinner" In Roumania.
An Interesting personal experience
was an Invitation to dinner with a
real Roumanian family (In Bucha
rest). \Vhat seemed to me a count
less array of dishes containing most
detectable dainties was arranged on a
sideboard In the apartment where we
were received.
First came pastrama, small pieces
of mutton grilled with zulka, a kind
of native rum. This pastrama has a
marvelous flavor. But a person eat
ing It for the first time cannot swal
low it. He chews It and cbewa It like
a piece of American gum, first In one
cheek and then In the other, without
knowing what to do with It. It la an
embarrassing situation, because the
pastrama Is served In the reception
room and you ar»* expected to talk
while you are eating It. I received
my portion In an unguarded moment
while conversing with an enchanting
girl In a pompadour. Then we went
into the dining room.
One course followed the other. One
eats —at first In an Inquiring spirit,
because the dishes are all novel, and
lhter because he likes his food —for
three or four hours. At the conclusion,
the hostess apologizes for the simple
fare, explaining that the occasion is
Intended merely to be an Informal, in
timate little dinner affording an op
portunity to discuss music and other
immaterial things with the artist.—

Company of Vienna, In the Vienna

EBONY BURNED AS FIREWOOD
Mahogany Also Employed for Floor* in
Burma, According to Statement
of Missionary.
The people of Burma burn ebony as
firewood and use mahogany for floors,
but the dance music is abominable, ac
cording to Rev. John Tilden Latta, re
turned missionary.
The chief function of music and the
weird dances in the land of the golden
peacock is to drive away the evil spir
its, and it is essential to Burmese
ideas of “harmony” to have each in
strument toned in a different key. But
it would be a great place for the chil
dren.
Parrots can be bought for a nickel
and monkeys for a quarter.
No word in the language has more
than one syllable. There are no de
clensions or conjugations. The Bur
mese are short on words and hence
every word is pronounced in three
tones having a different meaning in
each. The average wage is 16 cents a
day. There are no violent deaths, the
plague and malaria being the only
scourges. The native doctors prescribe
on a principle of opposites. If a man
has rheumatism they feed him pow
dered deer’s bones, and the remedy for
a sour stomach is sugar.
Dom Joao’s Botanical Gardens.
Dorn Joao’s botanical garden in Rio,
capital of Brazil, is today the finest
in the New World and equaled only
by that of Buitenzorg, Java, says Har
riett C. Adams, in the National Geo
graphic Magazine. Its century-old im
ported bamboos are as tall as forest
trees; its native Victoria Regia lilies
most queenly of their kind. Its Royal
Palm avenue, almost 1,800 feet long,
is second only to Rio's Quadruple Palm
avenue bordering the Mangue canal.
In the early days these palms were
a mark of the royal distinction and
were planted only in parks and ave
nues near city and county palaces.
The story goes that a slave stole some
of the seeds and sold them. Today
these “feather-dusters of the gods”
wave in every part of the city. At
present there is a free distribution of
seeds and plants from the botanical
garden.
Color and Horse Character.
An old cavalry officer says that one
may judge the constitution and char
acter of a horse from its color. Bright
chestnuts and light bays are high
spirited, but nervous and delicate.
Dark chestnuts and glossy blacks are
hardy and more tempered. Rich bays
hnve great spirit, but are teachable.
Dark and iron grays are hardy and
sound, while light grays are the op
posite.
Roans, either strawberry or blue,
are the hardest, and best working of
all, even tempered, easiest to train,
taking kindly to everything. Rusty
blacks are distinguished for their pig
headedness. A horse’s “white-stock-
Ings" give another clue to character.
A horse with one white leg is a bad
one, with two its temper Is uncertain,
with three it is absolutely safe, with
four may be trusted for a while only.
Irrigation in Africa.
The Kamnaszie irrigation scheme.
South Africa, has been extended to in
clude some 28,000 acres, at a total cost
of $4.0~>0,000. The dam will Irrigate
what is claimed to be one.of the richest
aluvinl arears in the Union, having a
length of about forty miles.
Light Literature.
The Angler—l’ve bought a fly book
for each of us.
The Novice —Do you suppose we’ll
have time to read it? —Boston Tran
script.
Passionate Reading.
Mrs. Jaffray —Reading Is really a
passion with my husband.
Mrs. Closewell —So it is with mine
when he reads tny dressmaker’s bills.
