Very naturally, any enterprise to elp swell the Empty Stocking Fund •his year should be a bright and gay • hing, because Atlanta Is giving in a big-hearted, generous, unreserved manner. Hearts Nearer Surface. Somehow, hearts seem nearer the surface this year than ever before, and the giving is general and ready. There must be something in the very atmosphere of this Christmas time that awakens a poignant sympathy and understanding. Just like the sympathy and under standing that prompted a certain letter to the Christmas Editor the other day. It bore a five-dollar bill. The mon- ey was pinned to a single sheet of paper, on which a few word* were written. There was a story in those words, a big story, and the Christ mas Editor, reading them, under stood. In memory of a little boy,” were the words. “I wish I could make it five hundred.” Tenderness had prompted that let- 'er and that gift. The giver no doubt ■C ihat the boys and girls whom the money would help were very near and dear to him. He visualized all boys and girls, their dreams and hopes and desires and ideals, in the imago of one little boy who had gone. And so every one of you has in your mind’s eye at least one little boy or girl, one with baby hands probably, or one who is larger and given to romping and yelling and torn trousers. Every one of you can love all of childhood through your love for this one child. It ought to be easy, then, for you to see the need that lies behind the appeal the Christmas Editor is mak ing to you. It ought to be easy for you to give toward the cause of the Empty Stocking. It ought to be a glad and loving duty. Because your boy or your girl might n*v* been among those who will wake up to the tragedy of an empty stock- ln & and a gloomy Christmas. And Society to Tango To-day for Charity Th« Tango Tea. for the benefit of the Empty Stocking Fund, will be held in the ballroom of the Piedmont Hotel Monday afternoon from 4:30 to 7 o'clock.

Dec. 1.—General Huerta caused widespread excitement to-day by “disappearing” again as he did recently. He was found by friends, however, several hours after the foreign embassies had been stirred by the news that he was missing. The first news that Huerta was missing was followed by conflicting rumors. One of these «a1d that he had not been at Ohapultepec Castle at all during the night, but had fled from Mexico City secretly yesterday on a train for Vera Cruz. Train Blown Up. A train on the Central Railway has been blown up by Zapatistas near San Vicente. Thirty persons were killed and all those who escaped were shot to death by' the rebels. ConstitutlQU&ligtf now hold all of Mexico as far south as the city of Zacatecas. That city is still held by the Federals, but its fall Is Imminent, as the rebels are working around to cut off the railroad from the south. While General Huerta Intends to cling to the Presidency as long as possible, the Mexican Government is taking no chances on forcing Inter vention in this country by the United States. Orders Lsgislators Released. This was shown to-day when a semi-official announcement was made that acquittal is likely to be ordered for all of the members of Congress who were recently arrested. Huerta Is afraid of finding these members guilty of sedition and sentencing them to death, which would result In prompt action by the American Gov ernment. Foreigners in Mexico are deeply in terested in the visit which Admiral t'raddock, of the British navy, was to make to General Huerta this after noon. He will he accompanied to the national palace by Sir Lionel Car den. the British Minister. R E L A X in the New Rest Room—3d Floor ^ I M. RICH & BROS.
