Tuesday's Temperature Slightly
Lower Than Monday's—En
tire State Shivering,
Winter was .still on the job Tues
day morning. Not satisfied with com
ing down from Greenland’s icy moun
tains in a roaring 42-mlle-an-hour
gale and giving Atlanta a day of
weather that was colder than the best
he could do In 1912, winter opened U[
Tuesday morning with an even colder
snap than that which boomed trade
and made the coal dealer glad Mon
day.
At 7 o’clock Tuesday morning the
mercury in the official thermometers
was a trifle lower than Monday morn
ing at the same hour, though the dif
ference was not noticeable to the man
on the street.
Unless the forecaster has read his
signs wrong, the cold weather will
continue throughout the day. and
mostly throughout December, al
though there are no more winds on
the weather docket like the one that
swirled and roamed around Atlanta’s
corners Sunday night.
C. F. VonHerrmann. official w eather
prognosticator, declared Tuesday that
w hile every day in December will not
be so cold as Monday and Tuesday,
the warm days will be the exception
and not the rule from now until after
Christmas. Overcoats that have lain
for months In the grip of the moth
ball were very much in order Monday
and Tuesday, and will be until after
the holidays. $
Reports of unuaually cold weather
all over Georgia are coming in to the
office of the weather ^bureau. Macon
and Augusta had freezing tempera
tures Monday and Monday night, and
down at Savannah they shivered at a
temperature of 40 degrees. At va
rious points near the Florida line the
thermometers novered near the freez
ing mark, although the wind was not
so strong as It was in Atlanta

The newspaper men of Atlanta have
added a new saint to their calendar.
His name is Frank Harrell of the
WlnecolY Hotel and he is a Patron
Saint of a very special brand.
Mr Harrell entertained at dinner
Monday night In the rathskeller of
| the \\ inecoff and the newspaper men
were his guests. The dinner w r as ex
quisitely served, and in saying that
I there is no chanec for Mr. Harrell
ever to fade from the kindly remem
brance of the Fourth Estate. H is only
just to add that the Fourth Estate
isn’t likely to grow dim in the mem
ory of Mr. Harrell
The only thing that could possibly
rival the quality of tlie feast was the
appreciation of “the boys."
If you are much acquainted with
newspaper men, you know^ very well
that they are not given to demon
stration in excess. If they were they
would succumb to twittering hys
terics about once every 24 hours.
On the other hand, when the time
and the occasion seem ripe for a
demonstration, an innocent bystander
might well be pardoned for turning
in a riot call.
Tile time and the occasion seemed
ripe in the rathskeller of the \Vinecoff
Monday night. That is to say, the lid
1 cable off; the well-known welkin rang
| again, and Jov was unconfined in a
most astounding degree. For three
J light-footed hours there were brand
I new stories and twice-told tales, and
yarns that never had been spun t»e-
j fore, and songs, some of which prob
ably never will be chanted in quite
the same way again.
Innts Hrown. possessing in addition
j to the gift of after-dinner oratory a
tine and husky physique, was elected
toastmaster when Mr Harrell de
clined the job. It may be remarked
in passing that Mr. Brown's well-
known efficiency as a referee of foot-
bull games was a valuable asset.
The \VInecoff Hotel was represent
ed by Mr, Harrell. W. L>. Mitchell and
I <\ E. Jenkins. \V. F. WlnecofT had
planned to be present, but the burn-
i ing of his home, of course, put all

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
BUDAPEST. Dee. 9.—Count Tisza.
Hungarian Premier, and Count Khuen
Heder Vary, formerly Premier. paid
$400,000 to kill a political graft scandal
W’hieh had already wrecked one minis
try.
Man wants but little .here below*, and
usually if he can’t get what he w’ants,
he will take what he can get. A story
told by C. E. Jenkins, one of the clerks
at the new WlnecofT, proves it:
“It happened the other day,” said
Jenkins. ' 1 was standing In profound
meditation behind the desk, when the
door opened ami dignity’s synonym
walked in. He was ao exceedingly tall
and pompous individual, frock coated,
silk hatted, and bearing the royal stamp
of PERSONAGE all over him He ra
diated dignity like a Georgian* radiates
pmsp« rtty. He strutted up to the desk,
and I reached up into the air and shook
his hand. I placed one hand in his coat
lapel, a la Patrick Henry, and then he
spoke, rumblingly:
" ‘I am Mr. he added. ‘I an:
a traveling man. but I live on the out
skirts of The city. I am in a position
to do your hotel a groat deal of good
“ 'That’s very kind of you. I’m sure.'
I said.
“ ‘I understand.’ said Mr. .
‘that at your opening night you gave
away very handsome souvenirs. Is that
correct?*
“ ‘That's right.' I sawl. “but I'm very
sorry to say they &re all gone!'
“ ‘That’s too bad.’ he said, ‘and I am
in a position to do you a great deal of
good. However, I understand that you
gave away souvenirs Thanksgiving, also.
Is that correct?'
“ ‘They’re all gone, too. I'm sorry to
say.' I replied.
“ ‘Hmmmra!’ he murmured, “and I am
id. a position to do you a great deal of
good. Is there anything at all that you
are—or- giving away at present?'
“I told him I couldn’t think of any
thing right on the spur of the moment,
and then he spied a packet of postcards
bearing a picture of the. hotel.
“ ‘Are thos«- for general distribu
tion?’ he asked. ‘I’d like to take a
few.’
“I to'd him to help himself and he
took fifty all there were on the desk.
“ ‘Now.” he said, ’your stationery, that
Is for general distribution also, is it
not? 1 would dike some of that, for I
am in a position to do your hotel a great
deal of good.’
“I to’d him to help himself—and he
did. He took all the paper and enve
lopes there were on the desk, stuffed
them into his pockets, asked me to no
tify him when w f e gave away any more
souvenirs, raised his hat—and was
gone. ’
Cynical persons may declare that
there are a lot of jokes on the Atlanta
police department, hut cynics, pessi
mists and optimists are off in a bunch
with the assertion that Sergeant George
Bullard is the prize joker of the de
partment. Bullard is a quiet, fine look
ing sort of person who keeps his mouth
shut and his eyes and ears open, and he
has a lot of dry humor in him that is
prone to break out very unexpectedly.
It happens that Tom Bane, who Is the
turnkey on the evening watch, is al
ways doing a lot of work back in the
cells, and has to come on the run when
ever a prisoner is brought in. For the
purpose of getting some speed to the
coming <>f Tom ami the other turnkeys, i
there is an electric push button in the I
sergeant's office. But Sergeant Bullard j
didn’t think it rang loud enough, so he
got a cracked cowbell and hung it on
a nail. Now when he wants Bane, he I
summons him with a ring that resounds j
throughout the length and breadth -of ,
Decatur street, for a cracked cowbell j
wielded by a practical Joker can turn j
loose about the wierdest assortment of !
noises there are.
The punch bowl which has stood for
many years over the key rack at the I
Piedmont Hotel has been replaced with
a monster sponge, which was present
ed to R. Frank Taylor, the assistant
manager, by a sea-going friend. The
sponge is almost as big as a wash-tub,
and has caused the clerks to come in
for a lot of chafing as to its purpose.
Tom Needles, one of the room clerks,
insists that it was placed there to ab
sorb some of the hot air that he says

Take Salts to Flush Kidneys -4f
Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers.
If you must have your meat every
day. eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then yon suffer with a dull
misery In the kidney region, sharp pain.
In the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine get*
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
y<»u to seek relief two or thr*e times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritattn* acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and nish off
the body’s urinous waste ge, four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy here take a tablespoonfui in a
glass °f water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and bmon
juice, combined with litliia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to i©u
tralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending hladier
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: can not in
jure, and makes a delightful efferva
cent lithia-water drink.—Advt.
