sheriff said for selling clothing from

Burns admitted without hesitation
that his operatives had made arrests at
Fonda, and from descriptions of the
men he said that he felt sure the much

DeLeon Case Another Court House Site Mishap

The mystery OF the disappearance of

as far from solution as ever today. No

Piedmont avenue, has been keeping in
close touch with the searchers and no fur
ther progress was reported from Chicago
where DeLeon is supposed to have van
ished.
DeLeon has a big part of the contract
for the new Fulton county court house
and, according to one story, it was worry
over the low bid he had made and the
certainty Of considerable loss that may
have unbalanced his mind and caused his
disappearance. In that connection a
strange story of the trag sic web of fate
apparently spun about the court house
was related today.
Old-timers declared that some sinister
influence had lowered over the spot where
the new court house is to be erected since
Atlanta was quite small town.
Old Mystery About Place.
Long before it was decided that the spot
was to be the seat of temple of justice
and the temporary abiding place of
thieves and murderers brought there for
trial. there was an atmosphere of mystery
about the place. The lot was part of a
deep hollow through which ran a creek

large mulberry trees Frederick Morton.

ALWAYS TIME FOR COURTESY
Even In This Age Of Rush and Hustle
the Wise Person VIII Never
Neglect Il.

Life is not 30 short but there is
always time enough for courtesy"
80 says the wisest Of American phil-
osophers, Ralph Waldo Emerson. and
all will agree with him.
It Is said, however, that this most
pleasing quality has deteriorated since
the days of chivalry, and since the
time has grown 30 short for tho 40
complishment Of all that we have to
do In this busy, bustling world. But
this should not be. Gracious courtesy
is well worth the trouble which 1t en-.
tails. 1t costs but 80 little to bestow.
and yet means so much to the recipi-
emit.
Lord Lytton. the polished novelist
and gentleman, tells US: what a rare
gift is that OF mannersl How difficult
to deflne-how much more difficult TO
impart!"
The receipt is given by Emerson
In these few words, Good manners
are made up Of petty sacrifices"
Not big sacrifices, but petty sacri-
hces. It Is the little things that tell,
and the courteous man is careful to
do little things to help his friends
and please them.
Where'er they be, all hearts Of gentle
strain
Still cannot choose but courtesy pursue:
For they from nature and habit gain
What they henceforth can never more
undo.
These are the words Of the italian
bard, which tell at once Of the need
and the advantage Of courtesy.
But II we would fully appreciate the
charm Of courtesy we should view It
In contrast with that most abhorrent
churlishness by which some portion
OF the humanity seem to like to be
distinguished. Let us be courteous
ourselves and learn our manners from
tho un1nanerly, as did Lucian the fab
ulist.
