"Joslah Carter, Esq., city: "Sir:—Yon are urgently requested to attend a special meeting of the Hoke Smith Club of the Fourth ward, to be held Wedneadny evening at 4 o’clock at Mr. Smith's ofTIces In the Peters building. (Signed.) "JOSIAH CARTER, "Secretary.” He had sent a special delivery letter to himself. Which reminds one of the time Joel Chandler Harris was asked his name. Some years ago, before West End waa forcibly seised and Incorporated Into the city of Atlanta, Mr. Harris used to ivalk every morning to the little poet- office up on Gordon street and get his mall. Mrs. Fleming was jKistmlstres*. Here waa the dally routine: Mr. Harris would poke his head In the window' and say! “Morning, Mis' Fleming." She would reply: "Morning, Mr. Harris?' and hand him his bundle of mall. It went on regular for several years. One day Mis' Fleming was III, and a bright and breesy young fellow took her place for the time. ' Mr. Harris appeared at the usual time, stuck his head In the window and aatd: ''Morning, ills' Fleming.” But Mis' Fleming wasn’t there. The bright and breesy young man who was oh the job, said briskly: "Whst can I do for you?" Mr. Harris said: "I want my mall." "Name, please?" the man asked. Mr. Harris stopped a minute, scratched his head, and then In de spair said: ■ • , "Excuse me, I've got to catch that car." And he made a dash for the hay- burner. He couldn't think of his name to save his life. It Iras the first time In years that he had been asked his name, and he was rattled and rattled badly. John Nelms was on the car, and Mr. Harris saw a slimmer of light. Maybe he would call hlin by name. not Dr. Nelms said heartily: "Morning, llrer Rabbit." That didn't help any. and Mr. Harris groaned In anguish. I'p at Peters street. Colonel George Adair got aboard. Ho and Mr. Harris were great cronies. Rut all Colonel Adair said was: "Howdy.” and then started talking about some Impersonal matter. Meanwhile l.'ncle Remus was hslf distracted, trying to think of his own name. Finally tie decided to ask Colo nel Adntr and was lust about to begin whin nk Peps got on tha car. Mr. Pope was very young then, and he "Good morning, Mr. Harrl/" Uncle Remus sprang to his feet, em braced young Popo and exclaimed: God bless you, WIHe. you've saved my name frqm oblivion." Then he walked hack to the little postofflee, entered and, with the defi ance of on# who knows he knows, aatd: Gimme my mall. My name's Joel Chandler Harris." / Don Marquis, of The Atlanta Jour nal, spenda most of. his time writing freight rate and disfranchisement edi torials, but In his hours of ease dashes oft poems that pleast and short stories that win acceptance In the best maga- alnes In the country. few days ago he aent a bit of verse to the editor of a magaxlnt, to whom he had not before submitted anything. The editor wrote back a little note of acceptance, to which was appended something like this: ‘‘Your pen-name, Don Marquis, Is so obviously a nom du guerre that 1 would suggest you use your real name, which, by the way, you did,not sign to your letter." Marquis replied thua: "Since' my real name aounds Ilka a psrv.donym, 1 will use n nom du guerre hat sounds real. Very truly, "PETR 8NAGGS. "P. 8—But please make the check out to 'Don Marquis.'"

At least one Roosevelt theory meets with hearty approval from the Georgia senate—the anti-race suicide plank. Friday morning Senator Bunn, him self the father of twins, .arose and nmld Impressive silence read the fot lowing telegram: "PELHAM, Ga., August 10, 1901. ‘Senator W. C. Bunn, Senate Cham, tier, Atlanta, Go.: "Columbus .Washingtons successor o the senator from the Eighth district, arrived this morning. J. L. HAND. 1 Senator Westbrook did not hear It, and arose to query: "I do not understand the matter now before the senate," "I submit that tha question Is not one that the senator from the Tenth can understand," proffered Senator Crum, Senator Westbrook la a bach etor. At this moment Senator- C. K. King, of the Forty-third, timidly requested leave of absence until Monday on ac count of a new arrival nt his horns In Spring Place—the ninth, lie confessed. "Seems like this thing Is becoming epidemic," said Senator Westbrook. "Maybe, but the gentleman Is an Im mune,” retorted Senator Crum. L Then several lady visitors In the gal lery tied. Senator Crawf. Wheatley may be holed before the bar of thp senate for purposes of trial for treasonable con duet as a member of that body. Friday morning ho walked Into the chamber wearing a pair of white flan nel pants. A thrill of admiration and envy spread about tho hall. “Crawf., where'd you get them pants?" queried Senator Bennett ad miringly. fingering the texture of the garment with expert fingers. "Them." replied the wearer of the aforesaid pants. "Why. I bought 'em on Fifth aventke. Sew •York. Paid 917.60 for 'em, by gum, and they are satln-llned, toe!" Newa of Senator Wheatley's satln- llned panto spread about the senate, and a steady stream filed forward to make a personal Inspection. Regular business clogged and finally stopped. Some one drafted a resolution look g to the appointing of a committal to "Inveatlgate the pants,” but ths own. er prevented Its coming up by a per sonally conducted lobby. "Gosh all hemlock! Paid 117.60 for one pair of pants! Why thunder, I don't pay that much for a wbola suit,' said a venerable member. Benator Brick Miller was advocating a bill for passage. He said: "I think this Is an excellent meas ure, but I wont the senate to under stand that I Introduced It by request.' Then out of the fulness of expertsnci and heart up spoke Senator Wheatley: •Then, by heck, It's all off right now. No by request’ bills get through her*." tayed slksd senator Retd Introduced a bill to "reg ulgte the practice of optometry ft Georgia." "What In biases Is optomstry7~ ask ed Senator Adams. Nobody proffered the desired Infor mation. Rut Benator Steed suggested that Senator Alt Blalock could do It, as he was a mighty well-informed man on all the "metrya" and 'Isms." But Senator Blalock la a modest man and refused to come Into the limelight. Somebody remembered that Senator Retd Introduced the bill, and called up on him to explain It. He did t Introduced this blit by request, rtunately It has corns, to the pass here that when a measure Is Intro duced labelled *br request’ It at once gats the name of the ‘Wheatley bill.' This Is simply a measure to regulate these fellows who go around over the state examining eyes and fitting glass es." Then he moved to table the optom etry MIL Senator Roe# was Ip the gallery talk ing to a very pretty young woman. The "are” and "nay" call was on. and It looked Ilka the MII would be lost be cause a quorum wasn't In the chamber. Senator Alf Blalock snled the sena tor (ceneraljr he Is the first man in the senate to see n pretty woman In the ator In the gallery be allowed to vote on tills bill." •'Senator Ross,” boomed Captain 'Tip” Harrison, who was acting na reading clerk. "Aye," came the deep-toned voice. A little Inter the senate was guilty of rank favoritism In tho same ctlsls. Senator Copelan waa up In the gallery’ conversing with two fair visitors, anil a close call tor tome member's bill was apparent. “1 move that the senator In the gal lery bu allowed to vote," moved Sen ator Wheatley. It la clearly out of order to do so,” replied tho president. And the mes senger had to scurry around and get up another vote before the bill could ] .JIHS. Senator Brick Stiller has decidedly the finest voice for speaking In either branch of the legislature. Ills snun- elution Is remarkably clear, and he has a bell-tike, vlbrnnt tone to Me voire that carries to every part of th» cham ber without apparent effort on his pert. It Is said thst when he wss in the house, where tho acoustics are notori ously had, he could bo heard In every part of the hall with the greatest ease.
