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."

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."

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. Branden, with characteristic care, figured i 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 with 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.

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.

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. 29 COUSINS’ CLAIMS TO BARBER'S SIO,OOO HEARD ST.

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."
