And some are as pitiful as they are j humorous. The other night an • u.crly woman purchased a ticket at one of our i theaters. She went in and sat down in the foyer. An hour later, after the perform ance had begun, she came out and approaching the ticket window, ! asked; "Has the show started yet?" ' Sure. It s been going on about half an hour,", said the box office j man. "Well, that’s queer; I've been sit ting in there alone for quite a while and I’ve seen no one act vet." She had mistaken the largo foyer I for the theater. The following story la recalled by I a local theatrical man ; "Othello", was billed to play in an Eastern city in 1JMHI. when consider able of a fuss was on over the piracy ' of plays. "You su> > ou arc the manager of i this Othello company.'' said H:o house owner, "Yes. T hav«- authority to transact all business for the firm," replied the showman. "Well, i'll let you play m\ house if you can give me a written per- ! mission from the author." Rijl Shakespeare having been dead many, many years, the show official was unable to comply with the re quest. He finally told the owner that h.- had not heard from Bill In some time, and after much argument suc ceeded in convincing him that he was not violating the copyright law. and the play went on. Only the other day one of our man agers received the following letter: .Manager; "Please send me two scats. "Very truly yours. Enclosed find $10; return change." TIp* writer did not state what show he wanted the seats for, the date or the location desired. Emphasizing the fact that a good box office man must be a mind read er and have an unlimited imagina tion.

NEW YORK. April Jo.—“The Bather" in the Metropolitan museum of art has had a real bath. and looked quite fresh and nice to-day. There were no prudes present, at least in the gallery, where this figure of a nude woman, by the sculptor Edmond Stew ardson, is exhibited. Instead of beating a retreat the spec tators gathered closer. All unconcerned, an employee work ed away on the white marble statue w ith a sponge from a stepladder. Even a statue can get dusty now and then, he explained, and therefore. the need of the polishing. There was much laughter, however when he gave the nymph's ears a good rub bing and sponged her face. Tt required half an hour foi "The Bather" to get her bath. Baseball Summaries. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games To-day. Chattanooga at Atlanta; Bonce De Leon.

Tyrant Man Blamed for "Murderous Millinery** by Speaker at London Exhibit. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. LONDON, April 26.—Featherless hats provided one of the features of the exhibition and conference in Lon - don for the purpoes of bringing to gether societies and individuals inter ested in the suppression of cruelty to animals. The millinery exhibits are intended to prove that women’s hats may be both beautiful and fashionable with out the aid of feathers and plumes, the plucking of which, it is said, causes unnecessary pain to the hirtls. A hat with a large plume made of grasses, stiffened and colored. won geneva approval from fashion ex perts. Ribbons played a great part in t * trimmings.

In one of those lunch rooms where you get a platter and order your I meal, acting as your own waiter, the manager is a woman. She sits just inside the kitchen at a window from which she relays the orders bawled to her by two young men who stand at the counter where they wait upon customers. A popular dish on the bill of fa * yesterday was chicken giblets and it was directly responsible for a small spat and the promulgation of a new rule in the restaurant in question. At noon there were four or five persons at the counter clamoring to be waited upon. The first order re layed to the kitchen was “chicken giblets.” The manager (woman, you understand) relayed it thus: “Chick en giblets, one." And the chef, who ever it was, sung out, “Chicken gib lets, one," Just like an Alpine echo. Two men who came in together both wanted giblets, so the young man at the counter sung out “chick en giblets, two.” The manager and chef both thought lie meant "chick en giblets, too," and only one order was prepared. When it came out, of course, there was a protest from the customers, backed up by the man behind the counter. "We wanted two orders," thej said. "That’s what I ordered,” said the counter man. And quite a wrangle ensued. The upshot of the matter was that Miss Manager (or Mrs. as It happens to be) issued an edict that in future when an order of chicken giblets for two is wanted it shall be given thus- ly: "Twice giblets." That’s plain enough. Country Folks Blockade Sidewalk on Peachtree. Curiosity on the part of a bunc h of country folks who were in town yesterday caused a young blockade on Peachtree at Marietta and nearly resulted in action on the part of the truffle, officer at Five Points. These folks had come to town to see the} sights. That was evident, and they did not purpose missing anything 1 that was free. One of them—a girl—spied a queer sign in a window of a shop and she must needs see it at closer range. She informed her escort of her de sire and he was perfectly willing to gratify her curiosity—and his own. The word was also communicated to others of the party and in a few mo ments hurrying pedestrians on the street found themselves up against a bulwark of gaping rusticity. The stream of humanity whi.’h flows along this main artery of th - city eddied out into the street and there was a great rubbering of necks to see what was the cause for th*s unusual crowding at the point. Aw. shucks." said the girl who was the cause of the blockade, af*er she had read the sign, “hit ain’t nothin’ but er advertisement an’ 1 didn’t believe ti word of hit." Me nuther," echoed her swain,, and the whole party hacked out into | the street and started off on another i tack. TOO LAVISH "What has become of the new fur nace man?"

Everybody who knows anything about it knows that long stroke is best; but “long” doesn’t always mean long enough; we are willing to say exactly what it means in the Mitchell; 6 and 7 inches. There are plenty of other good things to say for the motor; the stroke is not only long, but it’s powefful; it takes the car along over any sort of a road. The Mitchell 1913 is built to keep going; it’s a car for the man who can’t afford to make a mistake.
