The Vortex stoves are absolutely air-tight and
guaranteed to remain air-tight. They have a larger
positive radiating surface than any other stoves, which,
with the air-tight construction, giving perfect control
over the fire, throws all the heat into the rooms. They
are the best finished and most carefully made stoves on
the market, and their handsome appearance, perfect
construction, and water-tight milled door surfaces are
additional reasons why you should buy them. Per
fect results with any fuel, without change of fixtures.

There was once a man who said he
was eure that somewhere there was a
big hole into which all the lost um
brellas fell. If he could find it, he said,
we would die rich, so he set out hunt
ing.
As far as Is recorded that man never
discovered such a place, but should he
happen to descend into something like a
hole at the corner of Peachtree and
Marietta streets—the office of the
street car starter—he would find many,
many lost umbrellas—perhaps one of
yours.
Into the little office beneath Elkin-
Watson’s drug store, hundreds of lost
articles are brought each day, and a
few hundred less people recover some
of them. It Is as much the starter's
business to attend to lost or found
things as It Is to see that the cars keep
running on time.
Hundreds of Things Lost.
When a conductor brings something
which he found on his car into the
office It Is carefully marked, with his
name, the time it was found, the car on
which the loser rode and other de
tails. Then it is put away in a queer
little cuddy-hole under the sidewalk.
Very likely within the next day a dis
tracted person will come rushing down

Left Beby on Car.
One conductor found something
which could not very well bo marked
and could not be put away In the hole.
It was a baby, whoss mother had
jumped off the car and left it. The
starter turned nurse and amused the
baby until the mother, nearly frantic,
came headlong down the ateep flight
of steps.
"Women will leave anything on the
cars that’s not tied to them,” sold
Starter Leech. "Just look here"—and
he pulled open the door of the cuddy
hole, revealing an assortment of things
that any department store would be
proud to carry. There was an array of
umberllos, piles of wrapped packages
of all sizes and shapes, two or three
patent folding go-carts, coats, shoes,
tools, furs, bread, hats—In fact, just
any old thing that an absent-minded
person Is likely to carry on a street car
and leave.
"If It rains In the morning and then
clears up during the day,” said tho jol
ly starter, “we can count on half a
hundred umbrellas, with a rain coat or
eo thrown In. ’
One time a conductor found a litter
of kittens In a basket, which he rather
suspected was left on purpose. Another
time It was a canary'bird.

Asheville, N. C., Dee. 4.—Mr. and
Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt and their
little daughter, Cornelia, have returned
to Blltmore and are entertaining a
number of gueets. It Is reported that
the duchess of Marlborough was a
member of the party, but this could
not be verified.
It baa been the custom of Mr. and
Mrs. Vanderbilt to spend Christmas at
Blltmore, wbero a large party Is usu-
! oily entertained during the Christmas
season. The Christmas tree provided
by Mr. and Mre. Vanderbilt at Blltmore
when presents are distributed to the
employees on the vast estate, It always
looked forward to with pleasant antici
pation by both the Vanderbilts and
those on the estate. It hoe been the
practice of Mrs. Vanderbilt to person
ally select the presents which decorate
the hugo tree, and no one la ever over
looked. It Is expected that the enter
tainment this Christmas will be a note,
worthy one.
