Atlanta Woman Detective Chief Sighs as Cupid Depeltes Her Force. $ When a fatal love dart plowed its way into the heart of Miss Minnie Lee Lane, girl detective, it killed the lure of sleuthing, causing her at the cru cial moment to abandon a spectacular pursuit of a woman shoplifter and al low the quarry to escape. But today’ Miss Lane doesn’t care the snap of a finger if she did, for the girl detective was wedded last night to W. F. Freeman, bookkeeper in the offices of the Southern railway—the man who came between her and her chosen life profession. She has entered into the game of matrimony with greater en thusiasm than she ever experienced in tracking evil doers. "The call of the heart is stronger than the fascination of sleuthing, and I’ve quit for good and all —the quiet homelife and the frying pan appeal to me now as never before,” laughingly re marked the bride today. Charm of Chase Eclipsed. Miss Lane and Mr. Freeman met a short time ago in a nearby’ town, while the girl detective was “shadowing” a woman shoplifter, and it was a severe and incurable attack of love at first sight. The charm of the chase imme diately vanished, and a new vision opened before the "shadower” —love de throned her professional ambition. Packing her suitcase, Miss Lane abandoned the trail of the shoplifter, and boarded a fast train for Atlanta. She at once reported to Mrs. Hattie Barnett, Atlanta’s woman detective, un der whom she has> been in training, that she was in love, that the “jig was up,” and that, instead of seeking shoplift ers and crooks, she intended to enjoy a new happiness of heart. That she meant just what she said was demonstrated last night when, just at the close of the evening service. Miss Lane and Mr. Freeman stood before tlie altar in the Central Baptist church and were married by Rev. Richard A. For est, superintendent of the Toccoa Falls institute, w!!o is filling the pulpit in the absence of the pastor, Dr. Ridley. “Life Shadow” Now. As the wedding party left the church, the bride smiled on the bridegroom and said: “I’ve got someone else to watch now. 1 guess I’ve become a life shadow. “That’s right. I'll have an eagle eye on me all the time now.” chuckled the bridegroom, “but I think I’ll like the sensation.” Mrs. Barnett, Miss Lane’s tutor, is the only one of her friends who feels a pang of regret at the marriage. “Love is the arch enemy of the wom an detective business,” remarked Mrs. Barnett disconsolately. “Whenever love crosses the path of a woman detective it’s all off. Business goes to tlie winds?. That's why there are no more women detectives. They can’t resist the plead ings of the heart.” AVERAGE WEEKLY WAGE OF INDIANA MINERS $11.85 INDIANAPOLIS.

Up and Down Peachtree Leaves His Coin Where Slot Machine Used To Be. “ ’T was a chilly wintry evening and a goodly throng was there”—just add the rest of the stanza of "The Face on the Bar Room Floor” and you’ll have the scene fairly accurately, from the sand on the floor to the white-aproned person be fore the mirror. And, true to form, the stranger en tered. Here you’ll have to desert the tragic epic of paint and nose paint. The stranger made no dramatic appeal for grog nor was he greeted with hideous hoots by the merrymakers. He merely meandered back to the place where a few brief days ago persons played slot machines and slot machines played on them. The machines were missing. He turned to the bartender. He said no word, but his eyes asked his ques tion eloquently. The bartender shook his head. "Gone, gone;” he muttered. “The council’s put ’em out of business." No word of complaint was uttered by the stranger, but digging deep into his pocket he produced a nickel. He placed the coin where the machine should, or rather, should not, have been, and once more turned to the door. "Want a beer?” asked the beer man. The stranger shook his head and con tinued his progress to the sidewalk. "That’s all right, as far as it goes.” said a patron. “He didn't go far enough though. If he wanted to run true to form he ought to have left at least a dol lar and a half.” 20.000 NAVY YARD MEN UNDER CIVIL SERVICE WASHINGTON, Dgc. 7. —President Taft has signed a proclamation plac ing 20,000 skilled employees in the United States navy yards under civil service.

Jacksonville, the very wettest oasis in the prohibition South, has accumu lated a large and rampant grouch on z- — Savannah. Jacksonville is likewise mighty solicitous for Sa vannah's moral welfare, not to mention its« lain pant anxiety that Savannah shall be a law-abiding mu nicipality and ut terly free from guile. ( The Florida city, which boasts four times as many in habitants in win ter as it admits in summer, has heard that Savannah pays powerful lit- tle attention to the prohibition laws of Georgia, and that shipments of “booze from that city to other points in crea tion are not infrequent, and around aiyl about Christmas times some ship ments, at that! The effect of this revelation on Jack sonville has been marked —in two di rections. It that Savannah is cutting into Jacksonville’s business in that fashion, and it grieves that Savan nah is not a law-abiding town'. Wherefore divers and sundry citizens of Jacksonville have petitioned the Federal authorities —or say they are going to petition them —to make Sa vannah behave herself, both in her loose methods of competition in the “booze” business and in her morals. The Savannah News, regarding Jack sonville’s attitude more, o less face tiously. says: If the petition of the Jackson ville dealers to stop shipments of liquor from points in GeorgfiTX should be granted perhaps this in turn might be followed by Federal legislation prohibiting shipments of intoxicating liquor into Georgia. Then if the legislature should re peal the near-beer law this good old state would be squarely on the water wagon. And the season for cane and persimmon beer will soon be over. Jacksonville’s deep solicitude for Sa vannah is touching enough, to be sure— even If Savannah does effect to “smile, and smile, and be a villain still.” It Is doubtful, however, whether the Georgia legislature will accept Savan nah's half whimsical, half bantering, hint, contained in next to the last sen tence of The News' paragraph quoted. Robert M. Hitch, of the Second con gressional district, has let it be known to numerous friends that he will be an applicant for the position of United States district attorney for south Geor gia before President Woodrow Wilson.

The wagon struck the fender of the car. cutting the steel in two and bat tering the car. The pole and gear were torn, from under the wagon by the shock. Nobody was injured. SHOWS PHOTOS OF MEN OF 15,000,000 YEARS AGO ST. LOUIS, Dec. 9.—Dr. Samuel Wendell Williston, professor of paleon thology of the University of Chicago, startled an audience that packed the assembly room of the Second Baptist church by displaying photographs pur porting to show our pre-historic an cestors of 15,000,000 years ago.

FLOWERS and FLORAL DESIGNS. ATLANTA FLORAL CO., I Both Phones Number 4. 41 Peachtree. iAdverUneimint.f backing for the job, which is now held by Walter Akerman, of Macon. Some statesmen in Georgia ate be ginning to think that instead of creat ing new counties in this state here after, the legislature might better com bine some of the smaller ones, and thus reduce the total number, rather than enlarge it, as has been the custom of late years. There are in Georgia fifteen counties of less than 200 square miles in area. Four of these actually are under 150 square miles. Glascock, the smallest county in the state, is less than 100. Alabama limits the size of its coun ties—and there, no matter how few counties the state may contain, it can never run over a fixed maximum. A great many citizens think a small er. and not a larger, legislature would work to this state’s very material bene fit. Judge W. M. Henry, of Rome, former representative in the legislature and judge of the superior court, is an At lanta visitor. "Twenty-six years ago last Friday,” said tlie judge, "Georgia saw the big gest snow storm anybody now living can remember. I was in Atlanta when the snow came, and I tried to get to my home, which then was in Summerville, in Chattooga county. The snow' was so heavy on the W. & A. tracks that soon after reaching Kennesaw—then known as Big Shanty—we had to get another engine. And when we got to Kingston and I tried to change cars for Rome I found the old Rome railroad completely out of business—it actually was buried beneath twenty inches of snow'. "That seems incredible, but it is ab solutely true. There never was such a snow storm in this country. I had to come back to Atlanta, after proceeding to Kingston at a snail's pace—and I was pretty sore, and mad, and cold, and . I guess I used some th tiler obstreperous language. For a week following that ’W’hite Friday' in December, 1886, this section .was buried beneath tw r o feet of snow, and some of it remained on the ground, in partially protected drifts, until weß up into April.” Judge Henry is practicing law now adays, and has retired from politics. Colonel O. B. Stevens, former com missioner of agriculture, who has been reported a candidate against Commis sioner J. J. Conner for director of the Georgia experiment station in Griffin, w’hich highly desirable job is to be va cated by Hon. Martin V. Calvin next summer, does not say that he would not take the office if it were tendered him, but he does say that he is not a candidate for the place, and has not authorized the use of his name in that connection. “I am of the opinion,” says Colonel Stevens, “that the board of directors of the experiment station is competent to select a successor to Mr. Calvin, with out advice or suggestion from me. And, so far as I am concerned, this shall be permitted to do so. It is peculiarly not a place that should be juggled for. or that any man should be log-rolled into.” The scintillating highbrow’ who pre sides over this department of uplift in The Georgian has been watching and waiting, more or less in vain, these many days, for somebody to say some thing pleasant about his new picture, the which adorns —or something—the getaway of this column daily, but for the most part disappointment has been his bitter portion. However, from out numerous frater nal suggestions, anent the likeness aforesaid, he has selected the following from Tile Dalton Citizen, as the nearest approach to approval and compliment tlie divers and sundry exhibits afford: His profile picture now appearing in his "Searching Sidelights” makes him look like Champ Clark. One might look (and perform)’ very much worse than Mr. Champ Clark!
