POSTUM
“There's a Reason"
Get your court clothe* pressed and
dig your Egyptian grammar from the
dust of the top shelf. For the prince I*
coming to Atlanta, Prince Dabro of
Egypt.
Atlanta Is expectant. Prince Wil
helm, of Sweden, ho* dazzled Newport
and New York, but Atlantan* were
forced to content themselves with look
ing at hi* pictures In the paper*. But
when they have heard that a real
prince 1* headed South there will be
no re*t until he arrive*.
The new* wa« first conveyed to Dan
Carey, who, a* secretary to the mayor,
1* recognised a* the official authority on
civic etiquette. Dan was puzzled.
"I've often expected a king," he said,
and have even received one, but
usually the deuce of clubs turned up
Instead. But this prince thing—well, I
don't know what to do with htm. Guess
wo ll show him the new reservoir and
the place where the pump ought to be,
fill him up on Georgia* barbecue—oh,
well, we'll take car of him."
Prince Dabro Is making a tout of
America, and he’s particularly inter
ested In cotton culture. Therefore he
has announced that he Is coming South,
to visit Atlantn, New Orleans and a few
places In Texas.
The announcement of the prince's
Intended visit was broken gently to a
member of the social set. He looked
Interested.
“Why, sure, we'll take him round.
Little dinner at the club, little reception
afterward,* little motoring round nnd
out to East Lake. We've entertained
some of these high cards before. Let's
see, there waa"—
"Klngdon Gould?* suggested the
questioner.
'Oh, quit your klddln'," remarked the
club man. “There have been real ones.
What kind of fellow Is this Prince Da
bro? What's hi* tribe? What's his
language? Oh, Lord, I forgot to ask.
What’s his, er—complexion?" .
"You can search me.” said the news
paper man. “All I know Is that Prince
Dabro, of Egypt, son of a distinguished
family, wealthy cotton grower on the'
banks of the Nile and all that sort of
thing, says he is coming down see
Atlanta raise cotton."
"Let’s wait a bit," said the clubman.
“All the Egyptians I know are on a
cigarette box or In a hoochee-coochee
show, so weil wait for further par
ticulars. Hut If the prince Is a good
fellow weil All him with Atlanta spirit
—if he arrives before New Year."
Th* following telegram tells of Prince
Dnbro's Intended visit to the South:
New York, Sept. 5.—The South soon
Is to have a prince as a guest. Prince
Dabro, of Egypt, who has been travel
ing In this country for some time, Is
about to mnke a tour of the cotton
country. His family Is heavily Inter

The prince will visit among other
places Atlanta. New Orleans and Texas.
