There was nevar an Imitation made
of an Imitation.
Imitators always counterfeit the gen.
ulne article. The genuine Is what you
ask for, because genuine articles are
the advertised ones. Imitations are not
advertised, but depend for their busi
ness on the ability of the dealer to
sell you something claimed to be ‘‘Just
as good” when you ask for the genuine,
because he makes more profit on the
Imitation.

has come to light.
Imidentllly, It may be stated authorlta*
lively that R. Seldenfcurg, Jr., of New

Southern farmer than he had when he enmo

In the senate chamber In the evening. Pres

“Where arc you going, Barrett?” asked
the Nsw Yorker.
"Over to the caplto) to a Jlttla confer-

Say. Barrett, you know, I should like
to go to that meeting. Yon people do not
understand the New York cotton exchange
and oar methods. I should like to talk to
your people, and I think we can come to
„ ...ifaf .i
meetings. The only condition Is, that yon
will let .the boys-ask you a few questions.”
Reldenburg ngrsed readily. Charlie Bar

as surface appearances might Indicate.
Before the broker saw the Inside of the

WIFE MAKES APPEAL
An Effort to Save Walter J.
White From Life
Sentence.
With tears streaming down bar face, Mra.
Walter J. White, a 7 prepossessing young
woman, appeared before the prison commis
sion Tuesday morning to plead for he?
husband.
Walter J. White, a carpenter, waa ac
cused of killing Bam qulnn In Peters street,
something over a year ago. White waa
tried, convicted and sent to tho penitentiary
for life. He was convicted largely on the
evidence of Ike Holland, a notorious negro.
Holland haa since disappeared.
The case against White waa built up on
circumstantial evidence—very strong evi
dence. It Is true-but a grave donbt as to
White’s guilt la growing In many minds.
This Is evidenced by the fact that every
member of the Jury that convicted him
signed the petition for pardon.
Quinn was found stabbed to death In Pa
tera street. White and Qnlnn bad been to-
gether prior to the tragedy. Ike Holland
told the pollca to hunt for Walter White.
White was found at his home In bed asleep.
His wife offered the testimony that White
bad always told her of any difference he
bad with any one. Bhe also testified that
her husband waa In bed before the time
at which tba killing Is supposed to have
occurred.

Will Lola Cotton, a little girl aged
13 years, blindfolded, bo able to drive
a pair ot fast horses through the cen
ter of Atlanta’s business thoroughfares
In the busiest hour of the day. aa ahe
propoaes to do Wedneaday morning at
11 o’clock?
She says she can accomplish this
remarkable feat, and Is not afraid to
attempt It. Nor ie her father afraid to
allow the plucky and wonderful lit
tle Georgia girl to make the drive.
Not only does she propose to make
tills drive blindfolded, but she will find
an article which has been hidden by
several Atlanta newspaper men and no
less distinguished a personage than
Mayor Joyner himself, and this com'
mlttee will accompany her on the drive
to see that she follows the exact route
they took to hide It, and that she does
not remove the blindfold for one in
stant on the trip.
Lola' Is billed at tbe Orpheitm The
ater this, week sa “the world's young
est mlndreader.” Monday night she
gave her first performance, reading
documents produced by different mem
bers of the audience, telling the names
of articles, (be date of coins, the names
of members of the audience, their oc
cupations, and performing similar
stunts while sitting- on the stage blind

Chief Gives Permission. .
On Tuesday the management of the
Orpheum secured permission from
Henry Jennings, chief of police, to
make the carriage drive mind reading
test.
"But can she do U?" asked the chief,
In wonder.
“She has never failed," was the an
swer.
•AU right, then,’’ he replied, “let her
go."
What the little girl proposes te do Is
this:
The mayor and the committee of
newspaper men are to hide anywhere In
the city any article they please.
Wednesday morning at 11 o’clock tho
little girl Is to be blindfolded In front
of the Orpheum Theater. She will take
the driver's seat In the carriage, and
the mayor and newspaper men are to
sit In the rear seat.
She promises that she will catch the
reins and drive, without hesitancy and
with as much precision as an accom
plished driver can, direct to the point we should have
where the committee started. She will
then drive along the route pursued by
the committee In hiding the article,
turning the corners where they turned.
Councilman W, A. Hancock an
nounces that' he has received word
from Preston Arkwright, president of
tho Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany. to the effect that Mr. Arkwright
would give bis decision Tuesday aa to
whether or not tho fares on the river
car Uno will be reduced to 6 cents.
Councilman Hancock presented his
argument In favor of the reduction to
President Arkwright several days ago
and Mr. Arkwright has been consider
ing the matter since.then.
Councilman Hancock thinks the
f;ii"K oil the line should he reduced and
he presented an able argument to the
street car officials. •
Mr. Arkwright.” he stated, “haa Rl-
ways shown a disposition to be fair
and just, and I am satisfied lie will do
what he thinks Is right. It seems hard
that people on the river lino should
pay a dime when only 6 cents Is paid
on all other lines."
Mr. Arkwright stated Tuesday aft
ernoon that he had not yet reached a
decision.
Ur. 8. II. Orsen, a well known resident
and property owner of ltlrereldn, on tho
River line, presented a number of argu
ments for n o-cent fare. Ho enld:
"We bare from 2,600 to 3.000 people living
l the Hirer enr line beyond llollywooi
and going atralght to where the article
a hid will find It, describe It, tell what
la Inscribed on It. If there la anything,
nnd all about It.
If asked to do so by the committee,
she says the will describe the article
before It la even found.
The drive beglna promptly at
o’clock In front of the Orpheum.

A Disappearing German Custom.
On# of the moat curious cuatom* Is
the habit, which until quite recently
was almost universal In German »o-
clety, of trimming and ordering the
muatachlo and the hair In public.
In the cafe or the restaurant a gen
tleman would produce a neat leather
case containing two miniature brashes.
The bocks of the brushee might be of
the costliest materials, genuine tor-
tolas shell, silver nnd even gold being
comparatively common. Theae little
Drushea were used for re-arranglng the
muatachlo when It wan disordered by
eating or drinking. It waa never a
pretty cuatom. especially before ladles,
but It became In time ridiculous, and la
now disappearing.
A year or two ago It was usual
enough to see an errand boy set down
your hot rolls or your meat on the
doorstep, and with the aid of a broken
fragment of looking gloss and an old
brush gravely set In order the IT lp>nt
down of his upper Up. I believe that
this custom was originally an appen
dix to the Invention ot the Imperial
muatachlo. But itie cuatom la almost
overpast. Germany la going .through
a period of pessimism, and mustachioe,
thank goodness, begin to be worn were swept awaj. Damage
