More Than One Way
To Handle a Mule.
“It doesn’t take long to learn a mule
sense," remarked a workman at the
site of the new Joel Hurt building to
day. "You ought to have seen one
learn his lesson here in this hole.”
The excavation for the new building
has become fairly deep. In the hole
several two-mule wagons are being
loaded with dirt, and this must be
hauled up a steep embankment. In
order to assist the mules, a cable from
a donkey engine is fastened to the
wagon tongue, and enough power turn
ed on to help draw the wagon up the
steep grade to the street.
"This here mule was a country mule,”
said the man. "He just laid down In
the traces when it come to climbing
that grade, and the engine nearly scared
him to death.
" *1 ain’t goln’ to fool with that mule,.
Tm going to learn him something,’ says
the engineer. He turned on all his
steam and cut loose, and that wagon
went up the hill. That country mule
.was setttn' down on his hind-quarters
when the engine started, and he went
up the bank that way because he didn’t
have time to get up. There wasn't a
piece of hide left on his haunches as big
as a quarter.
'Tn about ten minutes the wagon was
loaded again and ready to go up. That
country mule balked at the hill. But
the minute he heard that engine snort
and puff he went up that grade like he
was shot out of a gun, and dragged the
other mule with him. It didn’t take
but one lesson to learn him."

New $5,000 Auto Ambulance of Barclay & Brandon
when It was completed the factory pro
nounced It the finest car of Its kind that
has ever been built. It is not only the
handsomest, but the most completely
equipped private auto ambulance now op
erating in any Southern or Eastern city.
It Is built on a heavy chassis, with
a 30-horsepower engine and wheels
equipped with extra heavy tires. Its mo
tion is as smooth as that of a canoe upon
a piacid lake. There is no jarring, no vi
bration, even when considerable speed is
developed The whole exterior of the car
is finished in bronze, the interior In fine
Circassian walnut.
A Hospital on Wheels.
The limousine body is literally a hos
pital on wheels. It contains every
known comfort and convenience that a
patient could obtain in the best hospi
tal of the land.
The llmuosine interior measures more
than 5 feet wide by approximately 10 feet
in length. It is a regular hospital room.
There are two side doors at the front,
as well as the double doors which throw
the whole rear end open when necessary.
The spring cot and mattress are roomy
and soft. The cot is arranged length
wise against the left wall, on entering, and
at the right are two leather upholstered
chairs At the head of the room (for
room is the only word that can ade
quately describe it) is a lavatory with hot
and cold water An Ice water cooler is

SIN’S ICE HELL,
SMS GIRL THIEF
Discarded Wife Gives 111-Ad
vised Marriage as Cause, of
Her Downfall. /
CHICAGO, ILL., Oct. 12<—Mrs. Maude
Wilbur has been brought to Chicago to
answer to a charge of theft from Co
lumbus, where she had just served a
prison term for robbing a Cleveland
store.
She told a remarkable story to the
state’s attorney here of her experiences
for two years as a shoplifter who had
robbed many of the large department
stores between Chicago and New York.
Although only 21 years old, she is
said to have compressed into two years
more daring exploits than occur to the
average woman criminal in a lifetime.
Mrs. Wilbur-is a graduate of an East
ern college.
"They say ’the wages of sin is
death,"’ asserted Mrs. Wilbur, "but I
have fbund that the wages of sin is
hell.
“As a young girl 1 had everything I
wanted. I guess f was spoiled; any
way, I thought I knew tnore than my
mother. Now I wish 1 had known
enough to listen to her advice.
“I married against the wishes of my
parents. Soon after 1 found out why
my parents objected, and within a short
time I was cast adrift, and forced to
earn my own living
“I got work in a department store,
but couldn’t make both ends meet, and
became a thief. But, while lam down
and out, as they say on the street, I am
Inclined to think that I prefer jail to
some other things. I believe still that
I have a chance for better things when
prison days are over.
“I have spirit and some honor —the
best kind—left, and no prison in this
country can take those from me. 1 am
planning to start anew when 1 have
served whatever sentence is imposed on
me here in Chicago.
"I believe with Kipling that nothing
in this life is irrevocable, and there will
be many years after ail this has been
forgotten by every one but me."
DRYS PUT ELECTORAL
TICKET IN THE FIELD
Prohibition leaders today sent out
notices to followers of the dry cause
that an electoral ticket for the state is
in the field for the November election
for president and vice president of the
United States.
George Gordon, whose office Is No.
ITIS, Third National Bank building, has
the tickets.
A well-stocked medicine chest supplies
all the usual restoratives to be. used in
time of emergency, and other such medi
cal equipment as may be needed. Every
need of patient or physician is antici
pated.
In designing the car. Mr. Brandon paid
particular heed not only to comfort and
convenience, but to perfect sanitation as
well. The result is a model car Mr.
Brandon, with characteristic care, figured
for many months on the details, and when
he had sketched out what he regarded
as a nearly perfect arrangement, he
submitted his Ideas to Mr. Alexander,
who approved and elaborated them
The White company has never turned
out a larger gas car It has never built
a machine more handsomely finished than
this one, nor one of which the manu
facturers are more proud.
In elegance and completeness of equip
ment, there is no other auto ambulance
in Atlanta or anywhere else that can
compare with this big bronze machine It
is an auto building masterpiece
Finished w’ith notable good taste, there
are no glaring colors or "box car” let
ters to mar the simple beauty of the car.
Only the inconspicuous gold "B. & B.”
announce its ownership, and the slender
panel bearing the Inscription "Private
Ambulance" is equally unobtrusive Car
rying out his original ideas, Mr. Brandon
has made the side panels movable, and
has a series of extra panels reading
"Grady Hospital Ambulance." "St Jo
sephs Ambulance." "Tabernacle Ambu
lance." "Wesley Memorial Hospital Am
bulance. etc., so that whenever one of
the Institutions calls for the car. the prop
er panel Is put on and the car imme
diately becomes lhe official ambulance of

Barclay & Brandon Company
Fourteen Years Ago Owned
First Private Ambulance of Any
Kind Ever Seen in the South-
Pair of Handsome Gray Horses
Well Remembered by Older Cit

It is an interesting fact that the Bar
clay Ar Brandon Company, which now
owns the finest private auto ambulance
in Atlanta, also owned fourteen years ago
the first private ambulance of any kind
that was ever known in the South
Many older citizens will recall the hand
some pair of gray horses that used to
draw the Barclay & Brandon ambulance
In the old days. It was one of the som
ber. rubber-tired, slow-moving vehicles
then regarded as the "last word" In am
bulance construction; now completely su
perseded by the advent of the motor cat
In Its time, the old horse ambulance
was as much admired as the big auto
ambulance today A private ambulance
in those days was a curiosity. The big
public hospitals bad their ambulances,
of course, but the hospital ambulances
were the only ones When the Barelav
& Brandon firm, which had been in busi
ness since 1884. purchased its private am
bulance, they ventured upon an entirely
new departure. Where they led, others
followed, and in a few years the private
ambulance was an established Institution
Iti the course of years It has become
an Indispensable one. In this community,

SILK INDUSTRY
HIT BY HOBBLES
Abandonment of Petticoats Is
Cause of Big Loss to the
French Weavers.
PARIS, Oct. 12.—Tight skirts and the
disappearance of the silk petticoat are re-'
sponsible for the serious decline in the
silk industry at Lyons.
The tightness of the one and absence'
of the other have caused a deficit of $1 j,-
000,000 in the pockets of the French man
ufacturers. They bemoan the days of
elaborate and expansive feminine gar
ments and have sworn vengeance on the
person or persons who first thought of
shedding petticoats for the sake of per
fect curves and artistic contours.
In 1911 the silk magnates of Lyons sold
only $79,840,000 worth of their wares,
while in the previous year the total sales
amounted to $90,840,000.
The claim is that, with the present fash
ion only about one-third of the silk previ
ously required is used for"feminine gar
ments.

was a barber. ’ _
None of the contestants denied the

being the closeness of kinship.

BLUE RIDGE GIANT IS
SIGHT FOR ATLANTANS
Jesse Owenby came to Atlanta to see
the sights and found himself the sight.
Owenby Is over seven feet tall. He
came here to be a witness in a moon
shining case.
In Towns county, far up in the Blue
Ridge, Owenby says that other men
are about as tall as he and no one
there looks at him as though he had
just escaped from a menagerie. This
is the first time he was ever any far
ther from home than Claytom Ga.,
about twenty miles, and he feels right
strange down here where people wear
coats and shoes all the time, while he
wears jeans.
Another’ thing that sadly handicaps
Jesse is the fact that save for the of
ferings of devoted friends he can get no
real “mountain dew.”

MANY ARE FLOCKING TO THE
SOUTHERN COSINESS COLLEGE
Nearly One Hundred New Pupils
Have Entered This Live Busi

September, and Still They Are
Enrolling Every Day.
The public has certainly learned that
the Southern Shorthand and Business

months of every year since 1906.
“I have inquired of a large number of
prominent business men and they have
told me that the Southern's students
are more thoroughly trained, so 1 have
decided to enter your school, as I want
to be well grounded in my shorthand
and bookkeeping profession." said a
young man vthen he entered the South
ern this week.
That’s the way this old school gets its
large patronage.
It teaches the best systems of short
lie nd and bookkeeping known to the
world.
It does so in the most thorough man
ner.
Its pupils hold their positions.
The business men know this, there
fore, are continually offering to these
well-trained young people permanent
and good paying positions.
And the e are the reasons that are
carrying more young men and young
women to the Southern Shorthand and
Business University than to any other
business college in the Southeastern
states.
A latge faculty, well known men, ex
perienced In business and teaching, 75
typewriters, adding machines, banks,
etc., all combine to make the Southern
an institution such as the people want
to patronize, and they are doing it.
