By TARLETON COLLIER
"Clever" is a (greatly misused and
abused word. They have applied it
to- everythin*, even to some newspa
per reporters, until it means about as
much as a story of the death of Kin*
Menellk or the dissolution of a trust.
Too bad. With its primitive sig
nificance it might have been a handy
term for “The Merry Countess” show
which opened at the Atlanta Theater
Friday evening for two night per
formances and a matinee. !
A considerable show-starved au-
-Hence wm there. Most of thoee who; Announce Home-Coming Services
attended came experimentally, as
“The Merry Countess’* waa practical
ly an unknown quantity. It promised
much, with its Strauss music and
with glowing announcements from
those cities where it has been pre
sented. So Atlanta went, tentative
ly.
The promise was realised “The
Merry Countess" proved bright and
entertaining, its music fascinating
snd Its lines sparkling The show
Is very light, it is true, but even
with Its farce-like triviality 1t is to
be accorded a place somewhere near
That indefinable line that technically
separates musical comedy from light
opera
There is spire enough In the show
Pitched in fashionable circles of Ann-
:ria, there Is that essence of attrac
tive naughtiness in “The Merry
‘■'ountess” that in the popular Imag
ination is attached to the gay life
of the Continent. But there Is nothing
in the humor—and it is all humor—
that, smacks of vulgarity, although
the sense of fitness was Jarred now’
snd then by the introduction of rank
Americanisms Into the talk of these
Austrians
Much is being said here In praise
of “The Merry Countess." Still. It
Is necessary to go a bit further, and
say that the voices of the cast were
excellent, easily up to the harmonious
standard of the Strauss music; that
the dancing of the well-drilled and
not too-evident chorus w«i pretty,
and that the costumes had an at
tractive freshness Hence, the en
sembles naturally were pleasing
Two dances particularly were at
tractive, that of Veta Fiorena, premier
of the ballet, in the aecond act, and
the dance in the third act of the two
young women. whose legs—no; your
eyes did not deceive you—were frank
ly bare.
Ability to sing* must ,be accorded
Dale Winter, who played Tlka, the
parlor maid, and Mabel Baker, as
Countess Rosalinda Cllquot, Strauss’
score was not exacting, but It was
full of nice melodies that demanded
vocal ability.
Among the men. Carl Haydn, who
played truthfully the part of Gnbor
Stabo, a Hungarian flirt, and Arthur
Clough, as Count Cllquot, had capa
ble voices. The comedy characters
were sufficiently funny, especially
Harry Carter, as Prince OrlofTsky,
and Jack Henderson, as Mat tori, the
•ad-eyed warder of the prison.
The story of the show Is that of
harmless love Intrigues nnd flirta
tions among gay Austrians. At times
the foreign tone is true, but In the
second and third acta there is little
evidence of it in any of the lines or
situations.

Purchaser Loses
Suit Over Hotel
Charging he had been misled re
garding the character of the Eureka
Hotel, M. L. Rookmore, defendant in
a suit on a $200 note brought by
Henry Ergens, former proprietor of
the hotel, lost in the court's decision
and asked for a new trial.
Rockmore gave Ergens a note for
$200 as part paynjent, but refused
to pay.
He sits enthroned on a chair at a
little def^k—the monarch of the
kitchens.
You’ve seen “The Duelling Chef*’—
Jean Peyrat—and instinctively yon
amlle at him and with him.
It wan Peyrat’s pride in his cook
ing that caused him to fight a duel
with another cook In the kitchens
of the Hotel D'Angleterre. In Riartzt,
France, while King Edward of Eng
land sat In the dining room and wait
ed patiently for the Peyrat marvels
to appear.
It was this duel—his last—that
gave Peyrat the name of “The Duel
ling Chef,” and It was also where
he lost his right eye, his opponent
having Jabbed him in the optic with
a fork after Peyrat had hurled his
weapon from him with his own blade.
According to Peyrat’s story, he
fought the duel with another cook of
the Hotel D’Angleterre because the
latter tried to destroy a kitchen mas
terpiece he had created especially for
the dinner to King Edward.
Made Great Dish for King.
Peyrat moulded a monster deer and
lion, with the latter representing
England, crouched over the body of
the deer, victorious. Around the
sides of the dver and lion were placed
the lobster, the caviar and the other
good things.
As the waiters took up the master
piece to carry it into the dining room,
the Jealous cook, an assistant of Pey
rat, tr’ed to throw it to the floor.
The duel followed, In which Peyrat
lost his eye and the other cook re
ceived live knife wounds In the shoul
der.
“The dish I fix for the King,” Pey
rat says, with both tongue and shoul
ders, “it was a what you call mas
terpiece. Magnificent! Grand! Noth
ing like It had ever been seen In the
world. The King, he send me that
word I exceedingly proud when I fix
that dish. I make my reputation all
over France. This other cook was
ft Jealous fellow. He liked me not,
because I was not so many years as
he and yet I am clief. This fellow
amount to nothing: he Is what you
call a bum, a loafer'
“I fix the grand dish. This bum
come up and say the dmh no good. I
call him a liar, a grand liar. Then
this bum try to push the dish to the
floor and destroy. I become enrage,
angry. I lose control of myself. I
strike this bum cook in the eye, and
give what you call a black peeper.
He strike back at me, but he mls»s m«
He yell that my dish is not flt for the
pigs.
Fought With Carving Knivet.
“Then I challenge thi? bum for a
duel, to fight for my beloved dish
which the King eat. I have served
in the army of France. I can fence
jvith great cleverness. I ask him
If he want to fight with the rapier
or the broadsword. He say he fight
with carving knife.
‘Carving knife suit me I handle
carving knife with same expert
handle the rapier ;nd the broad
sword. We take the position. We
begin. I laugh at this bum. He be
come greatly enrage He lunge; his
knife miss me. I laugh again. Ha!
I also am enrage. I thrust! I
lunge! Voila! 1 stick him In the
shoulder. I repeat: five times I stick
the bum in the shoulder. I become
tlrqd with the sport; I disarm -him.
The bum call me pig, but I laugh, for
I am victor.
“Then this bum cook grab a fork
from the table and lunge at me when
I be not watching. Twice he Jab
my eye with the fork. 1 lose the eye,
but he stay two. three months in
hospital, and never again do he cook.
He can not stand the heat of the
kitchens any more.
“But the dish for the King, it not

in the dish. The King of England
thank me for the dish.”

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—Devel-
opments since the passage of the tar
iff bill the other day are Interpreted
by students of the subject to Indi
cate that the conferees of the bill
will reject the amendment of Sena
tor Clarke, of Arkansas, taxing cot
ton futures, and will substitute in Its
place the amendment of Senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, which ac
complishes much the seme effect by
a different means
The Clarke amendment levies a tax
of one-tenth of 1 cent a pound on
the quantity of cotton described ip
an agreement of sale for future de
livery. and provides heavy penalties
for violation of the statute.
Senator Hoke Smith’s amendment,
which was offered in the Senate dur
ing consideration of the bill, is In
tended to forbid the delivery on fu
ture contract? of cotton other than
according to the standards of quality
fixed by the United State? Govern
ment, with the further provision that
if the seller Is unable* to deliver the
quality of cotton specified In the
agreement he must pay to the buyer
the difference between the price of
the cotton he offers and the price of
the cotton specified.
Wilson Favors Smith’s Idea.
The Clarke amendment, which was
adopted by the Senate, provides that
the tax will go into effect September
1, 1914
The conferees have not yet taken
up that part of the bill which In
cludes the Clarke amendment, and
will not reach It for some time. Nev
ertheless, great interest is being
shown in the quertlon, and specula
tion Is rife ns to what the conferees
will decide to do.
The Intimation Is obtained from
Majority Leader Underwood that
President Wilson is opposed to the
Clarke amendment, being apprehen
sive that it will disturb the vn.st cot
ton business of the South, and If the
President confirmr this belief to the
conferees the amendment is as good
as defeated.
Asa matter of fact, the reason why
Clarke and other members of the
Senate voted for the amendment was
that they believed the Farmers*’
Union wanted It. Furthermore, it is
the impression here that in reality
they were personally opposed to it,
and feared It. would do harm to the
cotton business.
Conferees Oppose Amendment.
Another theory for the enactment
of the amendment is that it was put
In simply as a trade proposition, with
the expectation of giving it up If the
House would make a concession of
equal Importance. This Is compll
cated by the development 1n the
House of quite a sentiment in favor
r.f the amendment which may have
some influence on the conferees. The
House conferees, however, are under
stood to be opposed to the amend
ment.
The most important factor at pres
ent is the attitude of the President.
It becomes particularly significant
when it is considered that Senator
Hoke Smith’s amendment can be
supported as an alternative. Senator
Hoke Smith Is very close to the ad
ministration. and more than anyone
else is the President’s spokesman In
the Senate. Accordingly there are
o-ood surface reasons to believe that
the President i? behind Senator
Smith's amendment.
FIVE CHILDREN

Quite an Undertaking For
a Lady, But Mrs. Wright
Doesn’t Mind Now.
Asheville. N. C.—Mrs. Minnie
Wright, of R. P. H. No. 1, this city,
says: u l don’t think there is any
medicine made that would have done
me the good Cardui, the woman s
tonic, did. I have five children to
work for. and I praise Cardui for giv
ing me the good health to do it.
•T was In a delicate condition, on
account of a relapse of measles vrhieh
left me in a bad shape, and I also
had severe headaches and backache.
Was in too bad a fix for anyone to
live, it seemed to me.
‘I was told that my only chance
was an operation, but I decided to try
Cardui instead. I only took two bot
tles, and now I am well and strong
again.
I don’t believe there Is any medi
cine on earth that will help suffering
women as Cardui will. I have already
gotten several ladies to try it, and I am
going to continue to recommend your
medicine.”
For more than 50 years Cardui has
been successfully used in the treat
ment of womanly ills. It has been
found to relieve women’s pains and
strengthen women’s weakness.
If you are a woman and suffer
from any of the ailments peculiar to
your sex, we urge you to give Cardui
a trial. It has helped more than a
million women in the past half cen
tury, and will do the same for you if
given a fair trial.
Your druggist sells Cardui.

Life’s Worth
Living in Georgia
If you prefer city life, there
are no better cities in the
world than those in Georgia.
If you prefer village life, the
smaller towns in Georgia
offer every inducement.
If you prefer country or farm
life, Georgia offers greater
inducements than any State
in the Union. Georgia lands
work the year round, from
two to five crops being gath
ered off of the same land
each year—crops that are
profitable.
Climate and Soil
The climate is such that far
mers do not have to house
stock during the winter, there
being good grazingtheentire
year. For raising cattle and
stock Georgia offers greater
inducements than can be
found elsewhere.
The soil is suited for almost
anything that grows and can
be utilized the entire year.
The prices at which good
farm land can be purchased
at present in Georgia are so
low that it is a matter of
comment —some thinking
that the land is not so good
as stated. The land is good,
but there are thousands of
acres that are now lying idle
and the good people of
Georgia are anxious for good
farmers to come among them.
Consequently the land is
cheaper here than elsewhere.
