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.
“ ‘I ain't goln' to fool with that mule,.
Fm going to learn him something,’ says
the engineer. He turned on all hts
steam and cut loose, and that wagon
went up the hill. That country mule
was settin 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
w r as shot out of a gun, and dragged the
other mule with him. It didn’t take
but one lesson to learn him."

SIN’S WAGE HELL,
SAYS GIBE 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 found that the wages of sin is
hell. t
“As a young giri 1 had everything I
wanted. I guess 1 was spoiled; any
way, I thought 1 know more 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 I am 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. lam
planning to start anew when 1 have
served whatever sentence is imposed on
me here in Chicago.
”1 believe with Kipling that nothing
in this life is irrevocable, and there will
be many years after all this has been
forgotten by every one but me."

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 sll,-
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, witli the present fash
ion only about one-third of the silk previ
ously required is used for feminine gar
ments.

There is no finer dental work done

to astonish those who have been pay

BLUE RIDGE GIANT IS
SIGHT FOR ATLANTANS
Jesse Owenby came to Atlanta to see
the sights and found himself the sight.
Owenby is ovgr 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
ate about as tall as he and no one
there looks at him as thoug+i he had
just escaped from a menagerie. This
is the first time he was ever any far
ther from home than Clayton. 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."

“1 have inquired of a large number of

told me that the Southern’s students
are more thoroughly trained, so I have
decided to enter your school, as I want
to be well grounded in my shorthand
and bookkeeping profession.” said a
young man when he entered the South

That’s tlie way this old school gets its
large patronage.
It teaches the best systems of short
hand and bookkeeping known to the
world.
It does so in the- most thorough man

its pupils hold their positions.
The business men know this, there
fore, are continually offering to these
well-trained young people permanent

Ami those l arc' the reasons that are
carrying more young mon and young
women to the Southern Shorthand and
Business University than to any other
business college in the Southeastern
state.-.
A lai go faculty, well known men, ex
