A SORRY EPOCH
Alas, alas! O fatal day, when Teddy Roosevelt's “went,"
When he has given up the job of being president—
When he takes to the simple life, what will this nation do?
For everything will simmer with a crust upon the stew.
Who then will smite the octopus and smite him hip and thigh?
Who then will bust the burly trust right squarely In the eve?
Who then will sit on Harrlman and soak him with a club?
Who then will add new members to the Ananias Club?
Alas! who'll keep the turmoil up when he has ducked the crown?
Who'l) hand a punch to Mr. Long and call Jack London down?
Who will there be to bring on peace when nations start a riot?
Who will there be to start a light when everything is quiet?
Alas, alasl O fatal day—when Teddy Roosevelt's "went,”
When he has given up the job of being president.

UNCLE SAM'S EMPLOYEES
MUSI NOl WASTE TWINE
Uncle Sam Is getting economical.
No, dear reader, he Is not reducing
the number of battleships to be built
nor the amount of money to be paid
the beef trust for soldiers’ grub.
Nothing like that.
He has Issued orders for his postal
employees to be careful In using up
jute twine In tying packages of letters!
Maybe the jute trust has put on the
screws and raised the price, or maybe
the postofflce employees have been us
ing enough In tying up letters to hong
all the undesirable citizens bothering
President Roosevelt. But, no matter
what the cause, the orders for econ'omy
have been Issued.
and there can't be any mistake about
them, for they are signed by Q. L.
Meyer, the postmaster-general.
This order is known as No. 386, and
by it all employees in the postal sendee
are directed to exeivlse the greatest
economy in the use of Jute twine In ty
ing up letters. They are told to use
only enough to make the package se
cure, and the employees at the other
end who receive the packages are or
dered to take care of the twine so that
it may be used again.
Another order—No. 387—follows the
twine economy order, and appoint*
Richard P. Covert, superintendent di
vision of supplies; Samuel M. Gaines,
division superintendent railway mail
service, and Assistant Postmaster Ed
ward W. Baker, of Baltimore,
committee to Journey, search and dls
cover some substitute for twine to be
used in tying letters.
In the meantime employees must
practice economy.

MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY
STOCKS AND BONDS ALONE
New York, June S.—Pointing out the
reward, of thoie who are, a, foretold
In Matthew, to “•It on throne, judg
ing generation, and age, that are yet
to come,” the Rev. C. F. Aked, In the
Fifth Avenue Baptist church, declared
that “man shall not live by stock, and
bond, alone.”
John D. Rockefeller attended the
services; so did John R. Hegeman,
president of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company, with Mr,. Hegeman.
Ur. Aked told of Catherine Presh-
kovsky, a Russian girl of noble parent
age. who etarted a school for children
In Russia a few years ago and was
put In prison, kept there for two years,
tried and sent to Siberia to eervo four
year* at hard labor and remain there
for the remainder of her life. This girl
managed to escape from the tortures
of her place of exile only to be recap
tured and sentenced to serve six years
CHILDREN SHOWED IT
Effsct of Their Warm Drink In the
Morning.
"A year ago I was a wreck from cof
fee drinking and was on the point of
giving up my position In the school
room because of nervousness.
"I was telling a friend about It and
she said, 'U’c drink nothing at meal
time but Postum Food Coffee, and It i»
such a comfort to hove something we
run enjoy drinking with the children.'
"I was astonlshe.1 that she would al
low the children to drink any kind of
cofree, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink In the world for
children as well aa for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be a fact.
"My tlrst trial was a failure. The
cook boiled It four or five minutes and
It tasted so flat that 1 was In despair,
hut determined to give It one more
trial. This time we followed the direc
tions and boiled it fifteen minutes after
the boiling began. It was a decided
success and I was completely won by
Its rich delicious flavor. In a short
time I noticed a decided Improvement
in my condition and kept growing bet
ter and better month after month, until
now I am perfectly healthy, and do my
work In the school room with ease and
pleasure. 1 would not return to the
nerve-destroying regular cofTee for any
money.”

mous little "Health Classic,” “The Road
to WellvIIle,” in pkgs.
at hard labor and live a life of torment
in Siberia.
"This same Catherine Preshkovsky,
said Dr. Aked, 'is now In this country,
preaching liberty for the Russians. The
standard of heroic and self-sacrlflclng
life has been raised and raised by wom
en.
"Don’t be afraid of comparing small
things with great. Be proud of doing
It, for we are one of them. We are
one with the Russians, fighting for lib
erty: one with the men who stormed
tho Bastlle; one with your own abo
litionists, with Lloyd Garrison, Wen
dell Phillips and one with John Brown,
whose soul goes marching on. We are
one with the light brlngers of every na
tion. We are one wljh Him who died
on the cross.”
OLD GLORY WAVES
FROM TALL SPIRE
The waving folds of the "Star Span
gled Banner," as It floats majestically
In the breexes from thf towering spire
of Trinity church, on Whitehall street.
Is attracting the attention of all who
pass that way.
Many there are who think the flag
was placed on Its lofty height In cele
bration of Jefferson Davis’ birthday,
and any number of other reasons,
equally as wide of the mark, are sug
gested. But It Is merely the whim of
the steeple jack who Is repairing the
spire of the church, and who carried
the flag up with him and placed It In
position just to show that the thing
can be done.
The Trinity church steeple Is one, of
the highest points In Atlanta, and many
have remarked the nerve of the gravi
ty-defying steeple climber who scaled
Its dlxsy height to "place the stars of
glory there."

feldt, member of the prominent New

MAN IS LEFT TO DIE
Fifth Victim of Hold-Ups in
Birmingham District
in Hospital.
Birmingham, Ala., June 3.—Unable to
speak, his neck broken from the result
of a fearful blow from behind, James
P. Mosley, a farmer, lies at the hos-
pltal with one chance In a thousand for
his life. The almost lifeless body was
found In the suburbs yesterday. His
pockets were rifled of all valuablee.
Mosley was on his way home when
he was attacked by highwaymen, ac
cording to the theory of the police, who
say that a bold set of men are oper
ating. using some mysterious means of
creeping upon their victim and deal
ing a blow with a powerful weapon
which, although not breaking the ekln,
leaves a tiny crimson mark on the back
of the neck.
Mosley Is the fifth victim, two of
whom died with broken necks. Bob
bery has been the aim of the hold-ups.
People of the outlying districts are ter
rorized |n eome localities. “The men
with the gum shoes," as the highway
men are now called, have baffled the
efTorts of the police and not a single
clew has been left to work on. None
of the victims has ever been able to
tell how or when they were hit and
the previous two died without regaining
consciousness.

DOOLEY AD. AGENCY

Washington, June 3.—The Argentine
proposal which Is to be laid before
the approaching second Hague con
ference, looking to the holding of a
third International conference In Bue
nos Ayres In 1910, will. It le expected,
result In bringing the second confer
ence abruptly face to face with the
American proposition to give confer

odic gatherings.
The subject of permanency. Indeed,

In the proceedings. Ip that event there

fencing and more or less animated dls.
cueslon.
The proposition to limit International
armaments, which came near causing
the abandonment of the second confer
ence, even after all of the Invitations
had been accepted, wns a delicate mat
ter. It may reasonably be expected
that the whole subject of creating a
permanent conference will come under
consideration.
STATE ORGANIZATION
OF ALL EIRE EIGHTERS
James D. McNeill, of Fayetteville,
N. C., president of the National Fire
men's Association, and of the North
Carolina Firemen's Association, has
written a communication In which he
sets out the alms of the national or
ganization and urgez the flremen of
Georgia to form an association.
President McNeill reviews the good
work done In his own state In reducing
the Are loss by the association of fire
men all over the state, both paid and
volunteer. He emphasizes the fact
that state ttremen's associations are
not antagonistic to Insurance Interests,
but on the contrary are the best
friends these Interests have. In addi
tion to protecting business Interests
from loss and promoting the efficiency
of the Are lighting service, President
McNeill points out that these associa
tions protect the Interests of the flre
men and provide for him or his family
in case of disability of death.
A state association for Georgia had
a preliminary* organization on May 16
at the meeting In Cedartown of several
representative chiefs and flremen, and
It Is probable that the organization will
be puzhed to completion.

IN NEW FIELD

of The Constitution, has resigned his
position and will In future be connect
ed with the Arm of B. R. Padgett A
Son, architects and contractors. The
name of the new Arm will be B. R.
Padgett A Sons.
Mr. Padgett began his newspaper ca.
reer as an office boy on The Constitu
tion, and by sheer Industry, combined
with his natural business ability, has
worked himself up to one of the most
responsible positions In the advertising
department of that paper. That his
success In his new field of labor will
be equally ai rapid and aa marked Is
assured.
The Investigation of Thomas F.
Stocks, water commissioner, the adop
tion of the June apportionment sheet,
and Anal action on the report of the
Joint committee on bids for the city
lighting for the next five years, are the
matters of Importance scheduled .to
come up before council Monday after-

called especially for the purpose of
holding an Investigation, heard the evi
dence and then, In executive session,
referred the matter to council.

the June apportionment sheet Monday
afternoon, only slightly different from
the sheet of January. It Is probable
that the report will be adopted without
a change. ‘

committee on a municipal lighting
plant and the committee on electric
lights and telephone*, will recommend
to council that the bid of the Georgia
Railway and Electric Company for the
city'* lighting for the next live years, be
