Telephone Com- JB3* It Is a sad story, for It was a nice goat and a new pafiama. But the panama has gone to make a breakfast Tor Billy, and Billy fills a glutton's grave, and Bartow Smith Is worried exceedingly. Mr. Smith Is a well-known salesmhn In one of the big stores. Mr. Smith boards on Mitchell street. And Mr. Smith owned a new panama, which Wfts the pride of his heart. Mr. Smith lin gered long at breakfast Thursday morning and the panama reposed out side on a chair. Into the empty hall tiptoed the fami ly goat, hungry and searching for something to devour. In a few mo ments the panama had found Its way Into the department of the Interior. It may have tasted much like a shred ded Wheat biscuit, but It proved lndl gestlble, evett for Billy, whose stomach had been proven proof against tin cans and even breakfast foods. Mr. Smith reached the store on time, but sorely grieved. Then the tetephohe rang. "Oh. Air. Smith, we want to settle for that hat," came a voice over the 'phone, ostensibly from the boarding house. • "That’s nil right." said Mr. Smith. "It cost fifteen, but about ten will square It." "Tlng-a-llng!" Another ‘phone call. “Mr. Smith? This is Jones. Say. you've killed my goat," said this voles. ''I want him paid for. That was a valuable goat, a real Jersey goat." Mr. Smith was alarmed, lie explain, ed that It was not hi* fault, but that he was willing to make an Investigation and see what was on the hat which might be fatal to goats. Then he Would settle. "Tlng-a-llng!” Another ring. This was from the city health department. "Mr. Smith? Yes? Well, we want a dollar from you for moving that goat off the street.' Mr. Smith put down the receiver, registering n vow that he would settle with brass buttons and a helmet. TKi lookin' for a guy named Smith,” he said. "The chief says ha's got to settle for movin’ a dead goat or come along wld me." Mr. •Smith promptly agreed to settle and the policeman retired from the scene. Just After noon Mr. Smith overheard a conversation among his associates. They were plotting mischief. "You go dovrtt nnd call Smith up,” said the chief conspirator, "and tell him that he’s got to come dowh ahd bury that goat." Then Mr. Smith rAllsed that he had been "done" by his friends, nnd that the 'phone calls and (he policeman were Just fakes. But that hasn't Settled for the loss of his pnnarnn. That must be Charged to the goat, and the question arises, "Who Is the goal?” greatItoneblock MUST BE HAULED solid piece of marble weighing ...-00 pounds, perhaps the largest stohe ever cut In Georgia, has reached Atlan ta for the Gordon monument. It Is the dle-stone upon which the bronxe equestrian statue of General Gordon will rest. .This stone Is 9 feet, 2 Inches In length, 5 feet, 1 Inch high, and 4 feet wide.
