GROVER C. BODEN, Manager.
HARRY G. POOLE
;<4f§
A Modern Establish
ment Where Every
Homelike Con-
/ v enience Is
Afforded
The:friends of Harry G. Poole, the
well known funeral director, are con
gratulating "him upon the splendid sue-
cessihe has achieved sinee, a few years
ago, he began his present line of work.
Mr. Poole has just moved into his
own building at 96 South Pryor Street.
In convenience and beauty of arrange-
ment-for its purpose it is, perhaps, the
most modern in the entire South.
Mr. Poole designates it as his Fu
neral Home—and rightly so. Bright,
airy—built upon the lines of a modern
private home—and furnished with
elegant, eheery fittings, its interior
presents at once an appearance which
helps to dispel the gloom so naturally
attendant upon those who have oeea
sion to visit an establishment of this
kind. There is no suggestion of the
gloomy, melancholy air which so fre
quentlv encircles the business house
of the undertaker.

HARRY G. POOLE’S NEW FUNERAL HOME
Two Large, Airy Par
lors Take the Place
of Commonly
Designated
Chapels 1
In the place of what is commonly
termed as the “chapel” in most under
taking establishments, Mr. Poole has
provided two large, airy parlors,
which are homelike in their appoint
ments. These are so arranged that
two funeral services can be held at
the same time, should occasion arise,
without conflict of any kind. Every
convenience is provided, and a funeral
conducted in one of these parlors is
similar in every detail to a home
service.
In addition, a new, and what will
doubtless prove a most desirable fea
ture, is the furnishing of special bed
rooms on the second floor, where
strangers passing through the city
with the bodies of loved ones can
spend the night in quiet, free of
charge, of course, and be near their
deceased members.
In fact, the new Funeral Home of
Mr. Poole is homelike in its every ap
pearance, and his friends are invited ‘
to drop in and inspect for themselves
his model, new and handsome business
house.

WASHINGTON, June 3.—James
Hamilton Lewis, former Georgian, has
so startled Washington that the cap
ital is now' in that extreme condition
which Is most aptly called agog.
The Junior Senator from Illinois
has threatened to shave off his whis
kers—“Just as soon as the weather
gets settled to Its summer heat,” he
says.
“I have accomplished something in
fyvo much alive and widely separated
States,’' he snld, "but I am pictured a-
being oamposed principally or whis
kers, manners and clothes. My ec
centricities are exaggerated.”
"What are your eccentricities?” he
was asked.
Colonel Not Just “Frippery.”
“I don’t know," he replied. "That
is the strange part of it. But to read
the newspapers one would think that
my personality Is all on the surface!
—that l am mostly bows, smiles, >

Lewis continued. "I was 2d years old,

How He Formed the Habit.
“Then I was ill a geeat deal and my
w'hiskers concealed unhappy hollow's
and angularities. Finally, whiskers
became a part of my outward indi
viduality. I formed, in short, the
habit of wearing them.
“But I have determined to try an
experiment. This summer I shall

Journalism of one of its favorite
sources of originality and humor.”

American Accuses Noted Singer
of Ogling a Woman in a
London Hotel.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON. June 3.—Enrico Caruso
wa.« one of the actors in a scene which
has stirred the Savoy Hotel. There
was no sequel in a police court, though
fisticuffs barely w'ere avoided. The
foyer of the hotel at the moment was
filled wdth departing supper guests.
It appears that Caruso annoyed an
American, who has been a resident of
London for the last few years, by
ogling a woman whom the American
was escorting. Oaru.«o is said to have
called the attention of his secretary,
Weber, to the woman in such fu&hion
as to make his notice of her conspic
uous. In any case, the American took
umbrage, and, stepping up to the
tenor, told him in a voice heard all
over the foyer that he should be
ashamed of himself so to direct atten
tion to any gentlewoman.
"I am Caruso,” replied the tenor. ^‘1
do what I like.”
The American thereupon advanced
on Caruso threateningly. The tenor
beat a haKy retreat, taking refuge in
an elevator.
Secretary Weber, being more pug
nacious, took the American by the
shoulder and said:
"If you w'eren’t an old man I w'ould
knock your head off!"
This insult enraged the American,
who rushed at Weber. However, a big
bystander quietly interfered, taking
Weber by the arm and leading him
away, despite the secretary's strug
gles.
The upshot of the affair was that
the manager of the hotel took the
American into his private office, u'here
he heard the story and proffered an
apology. Caruso is Kill on the hole!

Effects of Failure
Felt in Many Lines
SAVANNAH, GA., June 3.—The
disastrous effects of the recent fail
ure of the American Naval Stores
Company are Just beginning to be
felt. The resultant embarrassment
is permeating all lines of industry.
Money stringency is becoming acute
among all dealers in naval .“tores
products. It is felt even among th*
laborers in the turpentine camps,
whose employers are facing a prob
lem ln meeting their weekly payrolls.
The producers are calling on their
factors for assistance. The factors,
with the output of the producers on
their hands, and no market for the
product, with insurance to carry on
vast and daily increasing receipts, and
storage and demurrage charges to
in view of the unsatisfactory condi
tion of the market, are unwilling to
pay. are themselves being forced to
call on the banks for aid. The banks,
lend. Business, therefore, is measured
in large proportion by the amount
of money in sight.

THE PLAYS
THIS WEEK
Davison-Paxon-Stokes Co.
Entertaining Bill at Forsyth.
"Pop” Ward & Curran, Lillian Shaw,
Jack * Hazard, Seldom’s Models—these
are four of the old favorites at the For
syth this week, enough in themselves to
assure a very nifty little bill. Of course
they are reinforced by the usual dancing
act, the acrobatic number, etc., etc. The
program as a whole is one of the best of
the summer season.
Old ‘‘Pop’’ Ward has a splendid act
which for some reason or other did not
go as big ns it might on the opening
light. As Ward said: “There seemed
to be some <loubi as to what he was do
ing." He gets many a laugh, however,
and his partner in oha'racter parts adds
greatly to the number.
Lillian Shaw in her usual repertoire of
Hebrew and Gerjnan songs scores a big
hit. Her baseball song is especially good
and her “Marriage” number is capital.
Jack Hazard tells a good many old
stories and a lot of new ones. He is a
clever entertainer and his number goes
big.
Seldom’s Models, beautiful artistic
poses, in which two men and a woman
reproduce famous groups of stautary and
paintings, are splendid
Others on the bill are Wright &. Dilt-
rich, singers: the Three Alex, novelty
equilibrists; Calts Brothers, dancers, and
the Patheplay.

If You Rightly Appreciate Good Health
You can not place too high a value upon comfort. And no
one can fail to appreciate the relationship of summer home fur
nishings to comfort.
The difference between those W'ho live through the summer
and those who laugh through it is more often a matter of fore
thought than of mere opportunity.

tiveness to any home.
