GLENN TO LECTURE
- ON WONAN,S WILES

The announcement that George G..
Glenn, representative from Whitfield
and the acknowledged wit Of the Geor-
gia legislature, has decided to carry
some of his best stories and his mimi
table way OF telling them on TO the
platform as a public entertainer is GER
tain TO prove of genuine interest to his
hosts of friends throughout the entire
state.
Probably in all Georgia there is no
man. who has received the amount of
publicity and far-reachlng fame which
has come to this man IRON Whitfield.
While Mr.. Glenn has been politically
prominent for a number Of years and
has won an .enviable reputation
throughout the south as one Of Dixie 5
cleverest story tellers, a raconteur and
humorist, II was as the author Of the
famous Establishment bill" that his
name became a household word
throughout the entire country.
After literally setting an entire ma
ton laughing and smiling with his bill,
Mr.. Glenn found that he had struck a
subject Of such omnipotent and unl-
yersal interest, he proceeded TO go on
with the work. Then il was that let
tiers began to pour in from everywhere,
thousands and thousands of them by
actual count. There were remon-
strances from many of the fair sex,
while the great brotherhood Of man
both the woman-loving and woman
hating ntingents-reJOiced. Going
still further, several ministers took up
the matter and made it the subject OF
pulpit addresses. -s
The result Of il all was that Mr..
Glenn has accumulated facts, figures
and testimony from the four corners. OF
the country and from both the nlascu-
line and feminine point of view. Natu-
rally, along with this accumulation of
evidence came pointers of all kinds
from both the charming conquerors--or
conqueroresses--and the vanquished
ceits which have continued ever since
Eve turned over a new leaf in Eden
and started the first fads in fashion
that have been used for the bewilder-
ment Of the men folks ever since. .
Mr.. Glenn states that he has now
{ mpleted his Georgia Nights Enter
tainment," and a company, including
some of the best known and most in
fiuential men in the state, has been
formed for the proper carrying out OF
his tour, He will appear in Valdosta
and several other south Georgia cities
during .-.e coming week.
He has made ''Woman's Wiles and
Rainbow Hosiery the subject of his
address, and he has already received
enough Invitations TO keep him busy
entertaining Georgians and Georgia Wis.,
ttors for some time to come

his neighbor, recently planted.

PURITY OF PRESS

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2-"Would 20
God we could purify our press" so de-
cIared Mrs Maude Ballington Booth,
leading spirit OF the Prison Reform
League of America, during the course OF
an address delivered to an immense audi
euce here last night. cd
II believe the press of the country is
too much given 70 vivid painting of de-
tails Of crime" she continued. Have
you noticed how these illuminated &C
counts of criminals cause other unfor-
Inmates TO copy them? Would to God we
could purify our press. In many states
the daily papers are not allowed inside
the prisons. II they are not fit reading
for prisoners. are they fit for our boys and
girls? Would we could use the great
power OF the press more for good than
for publishing the details of crime"
Mrs Booth will make a tour of Louisi-
ana during the coming week under the
auspices Of the Louisiana branch Of the
Prison Reform league.

CIVIL WAR VETERANS
FAST LEAVING ARMY

Within a short while there viii be no
veterans in the United States army ex-
cept veterans of the Spanish American
war. Attention has just been called TO
this fact by the announcement that with
the retirement of General Hodges in 1911,
the last commanding officer who saw SER
vice in the days of the sixties will have
left the army. With him goes the last of
the civil war veterans among the COM
handing generals. After him, the heads
of the army will be comparatively young
men who have had no experience in &C
tive service except in Cuba and the Phil
ippines. 49,,
Among the major generals who still
have a goodly number of years of service
before them is General Leonard Wood.
General Wood at one time attended the
Georgia School of Technology. After en-
tering the army he rose rapidly, and has
now, with the exception of General NC
Arthur, as high rank as any officer In
the army.
