"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 separate Above is an electric fan. and electric lights furnish a brilliant radiance or a subdued glow, as the occasion de mands Heated In Winter.

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 the hospital which it Is serving al the time. 500 VOLUNTEER TO TAKE PART IN ELKS CHARITY KIRMESS Plans for a great Kirmess to be held on December 7, 8 and 9, for the benefit of the Christmas stocking fund to help the poor during the holiday season were made at a meeting at the Elks club last night.

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 izens. 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, as In all large modern cities, and the 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. 29 COUSINS’ CLAIMS TO BARBER’S SIO,OOO HEARD ST.

Corneli was a barber. ’ _ None of the contestants denied the others were related to Cornell, the only question for Judge Holtcarnp to decide 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.” POSITIONS ARE A CERTAINTY, MANY ARE FLOCKING TO THE SOUTHERN COSINESS COLLEGE Nearly One Hundred New Pupils Have Entered This Live Busi ness School Since the First of September, and Still They Are Enrolling Every Day.
