That was cause tor the lew who knew his history to talk and for the curiouJY to look into the house Amund the eaves of the little house J a huge flock of pigeons hovered and moaned -one would vow—in sorrow. In a corner of the living room of tho living room of the house sat several I cats in uncanny silence, their green eves gleaming at the empty fire place They were the mourners.

An acqualntanc explained, that , ihose birds and the cats had been ' Mr. Gasklll’s only intimate associates I They, he added—they could reveal • i onfl lei ea outd i•* te * poem of sorrow und cynicism. And they did tell a story. Between the cooing \ of the pigeons and the sinister tread of the cats in the half light of the house one felt that there must have, been some tragedy to drive a man to j endure such loneliness. It was well known that GasklU was : rich. Besides his home, which is a I valuable location, he had other cen tral property. He was a lawyer, but i had retired a number of years ago. Did His Own Cooking. He did not have to worry about his | needs, but it was unusual that he did not surround himself with more com forts and a better home. He even cooked for himself, which Is not so had on a trail in the woods, but rather monotonous in a city like Atlanta, especially w lien one has money. One of his acquaintances revealed why he lived this life. As a young man he had gone to old Oglethorpe College. He was a class mate of ex-Governor Joseph M Brown. His instincts there were so cial and toward good fellowship. He was a charter member of the , hapter of the Phi I>elta Theta Fra ternity there, and founded the chap ters at the University of Georgia am* at Mercer. No matter what his view’s of the world became later, he held to that bond of brvitherhood. When he avoided almost all mankind his inter est in his fraternity still lived, and probably the only true human asso ciations he knew' in inter years was io attend a banquet of his young Cra- ’emitv mates in Atlanta occasionally.

By MISS DONNA BAIN. The popularity which the he. itation waltz has recently achieved ir Amer ican dancing circles is an ind; a:Ion that the old-time glide waltz, so i»erp- ular in the days of our forefathers, is coming hack into favor, for the hesi tation retains many of the beauties of the glide with distinctive varia tions that give it what might be termed individuality. And. incidentally, it is to be great ly hoped that the favor with which the return of the glide waltz, even in a modified form, is being greeted, will means the extermination of those dancing abominations called turkey trot and the bear and all the other freak dances that require exagger ated, unnecessary and foolish move ments of the shoulders and the body to give them a thrill and carry them to success. Full of Grace and Beauty. There was never a dance, perhaps, so filled with natural grace and beauty as the glide waltz, and you will still find that the majority of the dancers, though they bow to the .dic tates of fashion and dance the new dances, still have a tender spot in their hearts for the glide waltz and dance it at every opportunity. And for these the hesitation is a suitable and satisfactory substitute. It is a combination of the Boston and the old glide waltz, combined in just the right proportion to suit devotees of both dances. The Boston steps give it vim and go. while there is retained enough of the glide waltz to pre vent the dance from being awkward, and to give it a sort of bewildering beauty that neither the Boston nor the glide waltz alone has. The hesitation is not hard to dance, and to learn it one does not have to have any special fund of natural grace, although the more graceful the beginner is the quicker will she learn. ► Grace is an inherent quality of the dance, and any recognized dance, danced well, is graceful. The aver age person, even with no knowledge of dancing, should learn the lies': i- tion waltz in a few lessons, and >r a good waktzer the task should »e even easier. Instructions for dancing the levi tation waltz could be spun out in , 1- most an endless thread, but 1 think the following will suffice to give any one an idea of how to dance it. Here Are the Steps. In the hesitation waltz the u il should start on the right foot . id balance back on the left taking f ■ Boston walk steps forward; w - right; starting on the left foot, take four Boston steps, reversing to left and hesitating on the left; repeat, starting on the right foot. * Another step in the hesitation waltz is made by waltzing on the left foot, alternating forward and back, and hesitating on the right foot between the waltz steps. There are numerous others that come with practice and that should n »; be attempted until the principles of.the dance have been well grounded. And in dancing, remember that the more you try to be graceful, the more graceful yo i probably will be. And above all do r.c shrug your shoulders *r wiggle air body. There are some dan . . n idle interpretive and clas sic al d m-« that require certain ni"\ im n. of the arms, shoulders and ? - body to convey the full mean- :»>)■ the (.. nee- hut in the modern h;Hi; m dance such movements are out <>; place and ungraceful.

Continued From Page 1. the law’s governing the telegraph ser vice and therefore it is believed that the statute enabling the Government to acquire, upon payment of an ap praised valuation, the telegraph lines of the country w’ill enable the Gov ernment to acquire the telephonic network of the country. “Parcel post reaches everywhere whereas private expresses extend their operations only to profitable ter ritory." says the report. "Twenty- millions of rural residents now have house-to-house delivery and collec tions of parcels, a service formerly to be had only In cities and towns.” Telegraph Lines Useless. Representative Lewis, of Maryland, who has devoted months to the study of the Government ownership of wire | lines, is not committed fully to the plan advanced by Burleson. The Postmaster General believes the Gov ernment should operate both the tele phone and telegraph lines. The Lewis bill contemplates taking over the telephone wires only. "We do not need the telegraph sys tem," said Mr. Lewis to-day. "The Government may acquire and use the wires both to send telephone and telegraph messages. lit is being done now.” Mr. Lewis estimates that the tele- I phone systems of the country, in- i eluding the Bell and independent j lines, may be purchased for $900,009 - 000. The acquisition of the telegraph would cost at least $200,000,000 addi- I tional. I “The committee has not yet con- , sidered the legislative features of its annual bill,” said Chairman Moon, of the Postotfice Committee of the House. Administration Bill Coming. “The recommendation of the Post master Genera! are yet to be digested by the committee, but the Govern ment ownership of telephone and telegraph lines is such a big problem that a party caucus probably will be held before any definite action is taken.” It is believed that Mr. Moon will introduce, after the Christmas holi days, the Administration bill. “It is too big a problem to be de cided offhand on the recommendation of anyone.” said Representative Mad den, Republican member of the Post- ofiice Committee. "You may depend upon it. there will be a most thorough investigation of the entire subject be fore this Congress acts. Government ownership of these properties may come, but T am against that until the subject has been thoroughly probed.” “Government ownership and oper ation of the telephone and telegraph is coming," said Victor Murdock, Pro gressive leader of the House. “It may not be accomplished during this ses sion of Congress, but it ought to be.” Underwood Ready for Caucus. Majority Leader Underwood indi cated that if Uhairman Moon desired a caucus of House Democrats the party conference would be called and the entire question thrashed out among the Democrats. He said that undoubtedly the report of the Post master General was reflective of the views of the President, and that this would have weight with the Demo cratic Congress. House leaders generally are con cerned with the politics of the plan. The question is whether it will be a wise move to agitate at this time the Government ownership of such a tre mendous system on the heels of tar- i iff revision, currency reform, pros- ! pectlve anti-trust legislation and the Administration bill to operate a Gov ernment railroad in Alaska. Conser vative members of the House are op posed to crowding the business world i with too much legislation, and are now doubtful of the wisdom of incur ring a public debt of approximately one billion dollars to take over the wire systems.

Whisky Seized by Macon's New Chief MACON, Dec. 18.—Macon’s new Chief of Police had been in office but a few hours when he began to make good his promise to stop the sale of whisky.

Randall's saloon 1,000 bottles of whisky were found, and at B. B. Brannan’s saloon enough to fill a two-horse dray.

No man or woman who eats meat reg ularly i an make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well- known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get slug gish and fall to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headache, liver troub'e, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in ; the kidneys or your hack hurts or if, the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of* sediment, irregular of passage or at- 1 tended by a sensation of scalding, stop' eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Halts from any pharmacy: take a tablespoonful in a g'ass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kid neys will act fine. This- famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neu tralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensix*e and can not injure; makes a delightful effervescent J .ithia water drink which every one t should take now and then to keep the' kidneys clean and active and tne blood pure, thereby avoiding seri«*us kidse; omplications —Adx i YOU CAN HAVE IT REPAIRED JUST LIKE NEW AT A VERY MODERATE COST The Georgian’s Repair Directory gives all the principal places where an article can be repaired, and should be preserved in every home »• a guide.
