CHICAGO, May 2.-Behind the brusque
and surly mask Caruso wears to pro-
tect him from intrusive strangers. there
beats the tender heart of a little child.
Once the great tenor decides to become
friendly, he makes an agreeable and in
teresting companion, but there is some
thing still deeper, finer, in his char

his whole true nature came rushing to the
surface and showed him for what he is

final test. For months the girl had been

in the matter, I extend to you, in the
name of the people of Atlanta, an in
vitation to make a public address in
this city for the benefit Of the Uncle
Remus" Memorial association, at such
time as may suit your convenience.
1 may briefly tell you that 1T is the
purpose of the, ladies composing the
association, to- acquire the home
known as "Snapbean Farm"-of the
late Joel Chandler Harris, and make
of 1t a memorial to his memory.
1t is proposed to use a part of the
house as a library.
1t is also proposed to keep the two
rooms which Mr.. Harris used as his
study, in exactly the condition in
which he left them, preserving his
favorite chairs, tables, and other fur
niture.
1t is further proposed to make OF
his yard a beautiful playground for
the children for whose happiness and
uplift he so unselfshly worked.
Permit me to say that the ladies at
the head of this enterprise are the
leaders in this city in al movements
looking to social, moral and religious
advance. These ladies have strong
hope-in this hope L earnestly join
that YOU may consent to make this
address, as they well remember the
many kind things which you and Mrs.
Roosevelt have been pleased to say
about Uncle Remus" at various times
in the past.
And l indulge the hope that you
may come to Atlanta, because you
have always honored us by claiming
to be a half-Georgian, and it would ap-
pear that the most natural thing in
the world, after having visited your
legal home in New York, would be for
you to pay your next visit to your
southern home in Georgia.
For the people of Atlanta, can
promise you a sincere and cordial well
come, and with the assurance of my
high personal esteem, l am,
Yours most sincerely,
ROBT. F. MADDOX,
Mayor.
