Value of the Classics.

Des Moines Capital: We are un-
able to recall ever having met any
one who regretted the time they had
spent in attempted mastery of the
classics but every day we can meet
men and women who regret that they
did not make every possible sacrifice
In their youthful days to secure that
broader and deeper education afford.

MY Account.

My Account
When all the busy week is spent,
And my allowance, every cent,
is vanished, too,
] sit me down to calculate
Until my weeks account is straight
And settled true.
Let's see-I had an even ten,
And fifty cents, dime and then
cent or two
Well call it just eleven, for
Those hateful fractions abhor,
And cannot do.
Now carfare, powder and pair
OF slippers and braid of hair
A perfect match
And sundries I've forgotten now,
But / must add them anyhow,
With all dispatch.
Eleven six--they make in all.
And that is more, as recall,
Than possessed
When | began the week, and still
My purse contains a dollar bill
Whence came the rest?
oh, yes. see; that makes It right.
But there's q dime, escaped my sight!
And now it's late!
So I'll Just save it till some time
When may need an extra dime
To balance straight.

Set.

Hall county, was arrested Friday, on a
warrant sworn out in that county, the
arrest being made by Bailiffs Bishop
and Hicks in the lower end of Cobb
county, where he has been living year

The technical charge against Hall is
that of misdemeanor, but it is claimed

treatment of his wife's niece, whom he
had taken from the orphans home at
Hapeville to his own home in this
county

Save the Old CrosstieS
Says Governor Brown
Nrom The Atlanta Constitution.

tfrOm the Atlanta LOuStitutOn}.
Governor Joseph NJ Brown in his
travels over Georgia, has noticed that
where railroads replace Eornout cross
ties with new ties the discarded ties are
piled up and later burned. The gov
ernor thought it over,
Thus it happened that when General
Manager T K Scott, of the Georgia
Railroad, called upon Governor Brown
Friday morning, the governor met him
with the following query:
"Why don't you railroad people save
those crossties you destroy and instead
OF burning them, why don't you bring
them to Atlanta or some other conven-
lent point along about Christmas time
and turn them over to charitable assc-
Citations for distribution among people
who need fire wood?"
Colotel Scott replied that his road
does pursue that policy, but added
that he knew of no other line that does
Believing it would be a most charit-
able act for all railroads to do the same
thing, the governor stat he will sub
NIT a communication to representa-
tiyes of all the railroads in the state
requesting them to dispose Of all their
discarded crossties in the manner sug-
oasted instead OF destroying them.

ties His Only Asset.

A Woodstock citizen bought several
mules in Atlanta Last week, and the
drove made the trip to Cherokee cOun-
ty in a quiet, orderly manner But a
little seven hundred pound fellow de-
yeloped wonderful kicking qualities to
such an extent tnat ne WIS regarded
as absolutely worthless for farming or
any other purpose, and the Woodstock
man determined he would return the
little kicker to his former owner in At
lanta.
1t was here he began to give sure
enough trouble. The negro undertake
ing the task of the return trip reported
the mules heels were in the air nine
tenths of the time in making the jour
ney TO Marietta. When he reached
here, an amateur cow boy took him in
charge, and it was then the little mule
began to show the crowd on the south
side Of the public square just what he
could do in the kicking line. A circus
trick mule want in his class at all.
The trip to Atlanta was finally aban-
doned, and the mule returned to Wood
stock as quietly as he had made his
former trip there.
