Mr.. SlAION,

Speaker Of The House, Pres
id3nt Of The Senate
4 VEDY DDFTTY MIY|D
"A VERY PRETTY M|XUP
Slaton Wants to be Speaker, But if
he Runs He Will Endanger
HowelPs Chances.

Since the announcement that Hon.
john ID. Little would not he in the
speakership race to succeed himself,
prospective candidates are springing
up.
IL has all along been considered that
Mitchell. of Tnomae; Freeman, Of
Coweta, and Morris, of Cobb, would be
in the race.
Several other possibilities are dis
oussed, among them Jack Slaton, of
Fulton; A. o. BIaiock, of Fayette,
Byron Bower, OF Daoatur; F. w.
Copeland, of Walker; Wiley Burnett,
Of Clarke; M. L. Johnson. OF Barlow ;
W. K. Steeo, of Taylor; w M Toomer,
Of Ware; Ed L, Wight, OF Dougherty,
snd Clarence Wilson, of Clay.
Copeland for while was in the raoe
last year sgainst Little, but Withdrew
before the Legislature met.
Ii jack Slaton wins it may interfere
with the plans OF Clark Howell, who
aspires to succeed himsslf as presiden. .
OF the senate.
Slston, it is said, was anxious to be
speaker last year, and would have been
in the race but for Littls's candidacy.
The candidacy of the latter was
brought about, it Is hinted, by friends
Of Clark Howell, who wanted to be
president Of the senate, aud didn't
want his chances jeopardizsd by q
apeaksrship can didate from his county
for the race at the came time, and the
easist way to sidstraak SIaton was to
get Little to continue to hold on.
1t did not take much persuasion of
these friends to induce him to offer
again, I, was quite an honor to be re-
eleotsd spaaker of the Georgia house,
something that had nothappened since
his fsther, Judge W. A, Little, retired
from the speskership.

OF hDULISNEU,
There was some Discussion on the

The Times-Call wss unable yesterday
to secure figures from the treasurer's
books to present in connection with

abolished but n the contrary should be
upheld by the lax payers and citizens

Of at great deal less expense to

ABLY BROUGHT ABOUT.

In regard to the report formulated
for ths city council regarding the
sci ing aad 'esellinR Of lots beloneips
to the CITY at public sales and colIsction
Of fees thereon, those familiar with

for years back say there 10 q very

BY any one TO defraua the city of say

This explanation 10 to The effect that

that many titles that had besn issued
by city tfiioials were defective and in

a title paper had been perfected that

Of these lots was discontinued.
AS for any suggestion of an attempt
to defraud the city by any one con>
nected with these sales, those who are
familiar with former administrations
say there Is no foundation in fact.

Mr.. Hombach started as II he had been
struck, his countenance changing with
the quickness Of lightning. Although gen.
erous to a fault, in principle as well as in
practice, he had drawn the line of gener-
osity and neighborliness at his tool box,
the contents of which were almost sacred

of manner that was in striking contrast
to the fiery one of Mr.. Hombach. II don't
like to tell Miss Elizabeth that you won't
lend her tool because she's a woman.
She can't help that"
Mr. Hombach threw back his bushy
head while a smile that he tried to hide
shot out of his eyes. His thoughts and
emotions moved quickly. Nervous and
temDestuous in manner himself, of all
things he admired calmness in others
Randolph's quiet dignity quite delighted
him. ~

himself. What a cool head! Doesn't lose

the questions of the day. In summer
time the talk was carried on at the front
the little meetings took place in the
work room, where Mr.. Hombach's ringing
voice not unfrequently kept the tenants
of the house, as we'll as those in the
houses adjoining, awake until midnight
OF course, Mr. Hombach was a null
sance, but his neighbors bore him on ac-

panic baby was handed to him to save.
The mother never reached shore. Failing
to ind any relatives for the child, the
man, who had no relatives of his own,
concluded to- keep 1t.
At present Mr.. Hombach was at work

on his forehead indicated that he was
also occupied with some mental prob
lem. When. presently, he heard the sound
OF light footsteps in the hall, the frown
disappeared. .....

| Miss Elizabeth Bradley. who was a
dressmaker in a small way, lived In
the back wing of the second floor of

or thirty-ive. She did not look old, but

boy looked on the work with interest,
and the two began chatting
Perhaps few things I'm Miss Bradley's
monotonous life gave her so much pleas
ure as listening to Randolph's talk about
the discussions that were carried on
nightly down stairs. He was still so
small and childish-looking that the fluent
phrases he repeated so glibly savored
to her OF "cuteness." She liked to draw
him out" as she said, and frequently
asked what pa" thought about this or
that.
well, I guess your. pas got lots of
nice sensible IDEAS" she remarked as
rejoinder to Randolph's elucidation of
what his father believed in regard to
territorial expansion"
Miss Elizabeth herself did not known
what the term meant. but she had some
excellent ideas about making ginger
bread She had a fragrant loaf of 1t on
hand, and she stopped working to cut
large slice, which she brought to Ran
dolph on one OF her prettiest china plates.
There was a tidy, home-like air in the
room that was very pleasing to the boy.
He noticed that the little stove was nice
ly polished, the carpet well swept, and
the furniture spotlessly clean. TheBe

few simple ornaments looked down from
the msntelpiece, and a eweet-throated
canary trilled a melodious accompanl-

Hyacinth blue with cream, with grey,

OF the popular combinations. A
sweetly pretty and hyacinthine frock

thin Liberty silk is laid on a taffeta sur
face and when stitched down 1t puffs up
between the lines drawn so taut by the

used for this purpose and usually in black
