rlcnrii nf Dr Caleb A. Ttlrtley, pa»-
t ,r of the Central Baptist Church, are
n . line with great Interest a book-
of his verse which has Just been
published.
Dr. Ridley, head of one of Atinn-
m 9 largest church congregations, has
entitled his work "Just a Thlnkin' of
My Friends," and signs it “Caleb Al
fred Ridley."
As a preface, he admonishes his
readers thus:
If you do not appreciate these
verses I lay the blame on you, for I
did the best I could.”
The work is for the most part
retrospective and carries the plain
tive note of true poesy. There is no
hint for the reader of the authors
vocation in the verses.
Perhaps the mo9t Interesting at
tempt included In the book Is a 30-
line verse entitled "Just Me and You."
The little poem treats of love, rest
less, aching hearts, wild delirium
dreams and other things precious to
lovers the world over. Here it is in
full:
Just Me and You.
Suppose we atroll this mountain path
and on
To where the sunbeams play along
dizzy heights
As the honeysuckle hues and waves It
lng flag
Of a dozen gaudy hues and waves it
day and night
Where life is free and the birds and
bees are free
And where the atmosphere is rich and
free
From germs and Death’s cold damp
and fitful gleam
The glorious woods where love waits
you and me.
Sweetest rest, where music sweet, my
dear,
So soft and dreamy like that ’neath
its spell
The restless aching heart revives
again
And in its reckless wild delirium
dreams
That Time’s long Anger on Life’s
dial plate
backward turned for a million
ears and more,
T.i where the complex struggle and
pain of modern life
An all forgot as the Lotus’ breath
sweeps o’er.
1 want no greater Joy than this, my
love:
If when the dewy dawn shall break
and beam
As my ravished Spirit grips and
holds for aye
The Ecstatic Bar and rhythmic ca
dence sweet
Struck from the native song of wild
est bird—
Jf then you are by me on the moun
tain trail
Hand In hand we'll walk and love and
live
Till the witchery of old days and Ihe
Joys of youth
Shall till and thrill us again and
again.
Come with me, Love, on this narrow
lonesome path,
And I'll sing my song of the moun
tain trail
Till your heart there gently wakes
the silent notes
Long hidden and hushed 'neath the
dreamy tides
That break against the bulwarks of
your breast.
There is a bit more about that
interesting topic, love, in some pretty
verses entitled “Somebody." A few
of them follow:
It makes me weary to wait so long,
For this dirge of sorrow to turn to
song,
But one o’ these days each note of
sadness
Will die away into tones of gladness
For LOVE will hold the shadows at
bav
And I’ll be happy, SOMETIME,
SOME DAY.
’Tls a holy hour when LOVE has
birth—
A miracle of spring on the cold dull
earth.
Just to be loved because It's you
Works magic-like as wonders do
The charm will drive the shadows
away
And I’ll feel the thrill, SOMETIME,
SOME DAY.
LOVE opens a door to the mvsteries
of Life
And stands sublime amid the strife
When elements crasli and discords
grate
Friends forget and enemies hate.
And passions fierce hold they swav.
Such LOVE is mint, SOMETIME,
SOME DAY.
LOVE alone sees in-ward-ness.
Its Intuition your secrets guess.
It analyzes every tear
That crystals on the face of care
As weary feet feel their way
To a genial haven. SOMETIME
SOME DAY
Of course, all the verse isn't abo il
love, but it’s all of equal merit and
appeal.

Kissing Harmless/
Says Girl Scientist
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—“Kissing does
not cause the spread of germs. Love
makes a natural immunity for all
germs."
The "germ maniacs” were utterly
routed by this statement of Miss Lind
Af Hageby, th# noted Norwegian scien
tist and antl-vivisectionist, when she
addressed the conference of the Church
of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn.
The report reached Atlanta Thurs
day morning that Representative
Adamson had undertaken to obtain
an improved highway from Fort Mc
Pherson to the official riffo range used
by the troops of that post at Waco,
Ga.
Mr. Adamson's bill provides that
the Secretary of War be authorized
to use the prisoners in the United
States penitentiary and the military
prisoners at the post to do the work.
When the men are on the road too
tar away from headquarters to return
it night, the counties through which
the road is being constructed would
bear the expense of housing and
transportation.

High Court Mine
Owners, Is Charge
In Copper Strike
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—The
charge that Justices of the Supreme
Court of Michigan are either stock
holders in copper mines affected by
the Calumet strike or are "keenly in
terested" was made here before the
House Committee on Rules by C. L.
Mahoney, of Denver, vice president of
the Western Federation of Miners. He
gave this as the reason for his or
ganization’s appeal to Congress far
Federal investigation of the copper
strike.
He said that no semblance of justice
had been secured by the 16,000 men
on strike when they appealed to the
machinery of Michigan law.
In November—scarcely 30 days ago—we sped to New York and
bought maker’s surplus stocks at a third or more under price. Marked
and advertised accordingly, we thought to sell the greater part of these
garments at their first fair prices. But the unprecedented happened.
Stores slashed prices to half before Christinas. We must meet com
petition. We shall, decisively. Therefore,
We Clip Former Low Prices in Two
Making Present Prices Below Half
Please consider that most of these garments have yet to lose their first bloom of
newness. We stress their NEWNESS because you would scarcely expect to find gur-
monts of their high character at these half and less than half prices.

R. F. D. No. I, Crit*. Va. — “I had tetter
on my hands so badly that I could hardly

My handa were so sore and itched so badly
I could not rest day or night. I could not
put them In water nor do my regular work.
“I tried medicine and several different
kinds of cream on t hem but they got worse
Instead of better. Nothing did me any good
until I tried Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
And now my hands arer perfectly well and
all right.’’ (Signed) Miss Ellen Tudor,
