The latest banking reports,'’ said
W. I-, Peel, president of the American
National Bank, “show that the State
of Massachusetts has 880 million* of
dollars in savings deposits. Georgia
hns eighteen millions.”
And from that text Colonel Peel
made a little sermon.
He talked less from the standpoint
of a banker than that of a kindly,
thoughtful naan who has seen much
of life.
"Of course, that's an evidence of
New England thrift,” Colonel Peel
8aid. “And jet I suspect the staid
New Englanders are saying the same
thing we are saying down here—that
all the tendency of the age is to
spend, and spend, and* then spend
some more.
“I have obseived the way most
modern parents train their children;
or, perhaps, I had better say, the
way they do not train them. To the
average child of to-day a pennj\ or a
nickel, or a quarter, is merely some
thing which it can take to a store and
exchange for a whim of the moment
—candy, oranges, a toy
Parents Set No Example.
“There is little or no regard for
saving taught, the children, even when
the parents are hard put to it to sup
port themselves—and they are set
ting no example of saving, for with
evecj* increase of income there is a
proportionate or an excessive increase
of expense.
“And I have seen these children
growing into young men, and the
young men going to work—and the
habit is exactly the same. A dollar—
ten dollars—fifty dollars—means the
equivalent, of a certain amount of
pleasure or recreation. They live up
to their salaries. Some of them live
beyond. They continue working for a
living, because thej- do not save
enough to engage in an\' business of
their own.
“And what is the future? It is
something hard to contemplate and
harder still to endure. I wonder they
never seem to think of it,
**F will say frankly, I do not see
anything more alarming and more
distresjsng In all our modern ways
and mode of life than this same ex
travagance.”
Then Colonel Peel spoke a little of
his own experience.
$200 and Suit First Year.
“It wasn’t fco much fun at first/’ he
said. “The first year I worked I got
$200 and a suit oi clothes. I saved
nearly every cent of the $200, and I
was very careful of the clothes. I was
living at home, and that enabled me
to save the money.
"When I came to Atlanta in 1876 I
wm married and my family was
started. I was getting $3,000 a year,
and there is an old account book in
Due vault over there that shows my
total expenditures for the first year to
be not more than $7o0. including rent.
It didn’t take very long for me to
save enough to buy my Peachtree
street home. I guess it’s worth $100,-
000 to-day.”
Colonel Peel laughed a little as he
told about a coachman he had years
ago.
"I got .that fellow to start a savings
account, and pretty soon he had
enough money to carry him to Wash
ington, wh§re he got a good job. Now
he’s a real estate operator in New
York, ahd owns his own home, and is
well off.
“It isn’t so much earning as sav
ing that does it." Mr. Peel concluded.

Col. Graves in Eloquent Speech
Stirs Audience at the Atlanta
Theater.
The Empty Stocking Fund is sev
eral hundred dollars larger Saturday
as a result of the benefit show at the
Atlanta Theater.
It was one of the finest combinations
of talent ever assembled in Atlanta.
The audience thought so, and dis
played its feelings bj r demanding nu
merous encores.
Above all the spirit that was im
pressed will cause other plans for the
Empty Stocking Fund to succeed,
and Atlanta will have a happier
Christmas.
If all the people of means in At
lanta had heard one feature on that
bill there would be no want and suf
fering in the city this Christmas.
Eloquent John Temple Graves
struck the best note of the Atlanta
spirit when he introduced Forrest
Adair in a doll auction that proved
to be inimitable. His expression of
the spirit back of the Empty Stock
ing Fund will long be remembered.
Bidding Was Exciting.
It developed exciting bidding for
the dolls, and the four so beautifully
dressed by Mrs. Wilmer E. Moore,
Mrs. George M. McKenzie. Mrs. Wil
liam A. Speer and Mrs. Joseph
Rhodes brought $37.
A. B. Steel bought one. Mr. Adair
himself outbid the entire audience on
another. Mrs. Carrie Rosser took
another and the buyer of the fourth
wishes his name withheld.
The spirit with which the high-
salaried artists entered into the af
fair was inspiring.
The bill opened with an overture
by the Atlanta Theater Orchestra.
Then followed Ellery’s Royal Italian
Band that is playing at the Audito
rium under the auspices of the Atlan
ta .Music Festival Association. That
start assured the success of the show,
and it was strengthened by solos by
Thomas Wallace, tenor, and Bayne
Young, baritone.
The band played the overture from
Wagner’s "Tannhauser” and the solos
were Clay’s “I’ll Sing Thee Songs of
Arat>y” and “Dio Possinte” from Gou
nod’s “Faust.”
Boy Scouts Pleasing.
Next came the Australian Boy
Scouts from the bil 1 at the Forsyth
Theater. The act was signally appro
priate for a Christmas benefit, for well
as they acted the boys were not much
beyond the age of hanging up stock
ings themselves.
Auriema, the sensatio.i of the
“movie” theaters, came next. He did
well, indeed, and In a letter to The
Georgian showed what u pleasure it
was for him to appear at the matinee
‘I think the idea of a Christmas
benefit for such a universal charity ns
that which will fill otherwise emjtv
GOLD SPECTACLES.
Keep father and mother young with
a good pair of glasses. A sold gold
pair in a beautiful ease is the gift
for them. Select the frames and
rase now and we will fit the correct
lenses after the holidays without ex-
tr;: charge. A K. Hawkes Co., Op
ticians, It Whitehall. Advt.

said in part.
Lackaye and Miss Coghlan.
As fine a treat as lovers of dra
matic abilit> r of the first order could
wish to hear were the numbers of
Wilton Lackaye and Rose Coghlan,
stars of‘“Fine Feathers.” The real
Lackaye and the real Coghlan ga /e
monologues that revealed art that
would bring them praise in any plajx
Mr. Lackaye recited “King Rob
ert.” Miss Coghlan recited from Ste
phen Phillips’ “Ulysses” and the
“Charge of the Light Brigade.”
House and Francis, the best acro
bats in the Atlanta Athletic Club, did
a great tumbling act.
Then came the doll auction.
The close of the bill was the charm
ing act of Yvette, that wonderful lit
tle violinist who plays, dances and
sings all at the same time. To make
her act even better J. P. Matthieser.
brought his orchestra over from the
Forsyth Theater, where Yvette :s
playing this week.
Thanks for Managers.
After she had responded to encore
after encore, Yvette came out and j
stopped the orchestra with the re- j
mark that she was going to make a
speech.
“If you have enjoyed my act as |
well as I have enjoyed playing for the
poor children I am glad indeed,” she
said.
Too much appreciation can not be
expressed for the co-operation of
Hugh Cardoza, manager of Jake
Wells* theaters in Atlanta, who man
aged thf* show, and Homer George,
manager of the Atlanta Theater.
The stage direction was in the able
charge of Frank Standard, of the
Forsyth Theater, and B. i. < Smith
annount ed the numbers. .
