RICH & BROS. CO Odd Initial Handkerchief Sale 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. ‘Hoosiers’ Here to Form Club; Call to All Indianans Out The formation of a Hoosier Club in Atlanta is to be considered at a gather ing of former residents of Indiana at the Hotel Ansley on Monday night.

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.
