quart of whisky. Later he staggered into a saloon on Marietta street and in duced the bartender to lend him three dollars, leaving his packing case, which contained three suits of clothes and a quantity of underwear, as collateral. The money was spent in less time than it takes to tell the story, and he was left absolutely without anything on which he could realize a cent. In this condition he managed, on the third morning of his stay in the city, to find his way into the store of a well-known Whitehall street merchant who is an intimate friend of his father. The merchant realized that it would be worse than folly to let him have any money, and instructed one of his clerks to take him to a hotel and keep watch over him until he sobered up. While the clerk was out for a minute the inebriated man took off his shoes and sold them for a few cents to one of the negro servants of the hotel. Finally he braced up and became fairly sober and succeeded in recovering the articles he had pawned. The lucid interval did not last very long, however, and before night he was up roarously drunk again, and staid in that condition until he was finally put on the train and sent home. The desperate efforts to assemble a quo rum in the Senate, on the second evening before the adjournment, were described at some length in the papers, but a good many spicy details were overlooked. After the lone eighteen present had been locked in for an hour or so, word reached President Berner that at least a dozen of the truants were feasting at the home of a well-known railroad attorney. Accord ingly, he sent one of his minions with orders to bring them in, dead or alive. The messenger found the recreant statesmen at the table, gorging themselves to their hearts’ content, and having a high old time. When they learned his errand they roared with laughter. “He told me to bring you,” said the emissary, scratching his head and looking perplexed, “and 1 don’t know what to say to him.” “Oh ! tell him to go to h I” replied one of the merry diners, and with that message the deputy departed. Whether he delivered it, 1 don’t know, but anywhere except in Georgy such a little incident would be apt to cause somebody a whole lot of trouble. To return to the weary waiters at the Capitol, Senator Charley Battle managed to scare up some ’possum and yams and this homely but toothsome repast was promptly spread on the senatorial desks. The theory that the ’possum had brandy-sauce does not seem to be wholly satisfactory, but I know of no other way to account for the scene of uproarious hilarity that followed its discussion. Senators threw ’possum bones at each other, sang songs, danced breakdowns, and several finally subsided into the arms of Morpheus. Altogether it was what Sam Hall would have called a very re-sher-shay affair. Not long ago a St. Louis drummer, who travels for one of the largest houses in that city, arrived in Atlanta on a business trip. He put up at a fashionable hotel and posed as an unmarried man. He spent money with a lavish hand and de voted a good deal of his time to the fair sex. In some way he managed to make the acquaintance of a dashing looking young lady who lives on Houston street, and was soon madly infatuated with her. He prolonged his stay in the city for sev eral weeks and was almost constantly in her society. He bought her boxes of gloves and other presents, took her to the theatre, and showed his devotion in many other ways. Finally he ran short of funds, and borrowed SIOO from the At- lanta agent of his house, instructing him to draw on the St. Louis firm on the first of January. Hethen left the city and has not been heard of since. A few days ago the Atlanta agent received a letter from a lady inquiring about the drummer. He wrote her as follows: “Your son left At lanta several days ago.” In answer to this he received a letter from the lady in which she explained that the drummer was not her son but her husband, and stated that he had deserted her and his three small children several weeks ago, leaving them absolutely penniless. This was a complete surprise to the Atlanta man, and he wrote the facts to his house. The drummer has not been seen for several days, and his St. Louis house is making desperate efforts to locate him. Dr. George Brown, 312-313 Austell Building, Atlanta, Ga.

How the Money Was Obtained on a Worthless Check. Dear Looking Glass: Here’s an amusing story that 1 happen to know is strictly true. One of our businesss men who received a worthless bank check from a prominent citizen, after presenting it at the bank and having it dishonored, tried the follow ing plan with success. He went into a number of crowded stores, where the tele phones were within hearing of the cus tomers, and had this conversation. “Hello First National! 1 have a check on your bank signed by Mr. for ten dollars. Is it good? No money on de posit, did you say? Has not had any for a long time, did 1 understand you to say?” As several of the check-makers friends of both sexes were in the stores at the time the telephones were used, it was not necessary to do such telephoning more than one day. The next morning the check was make good. A Looker-on. We make a specialty of doing fine laundry work; work that requires deli s fir o ■ cacy of handling. Try us on that class and others.
