THE new preacher In our town was
progressive enough to enliven even
that humdrum performance Of reading
the notices OF the day." said the SUI
burbanite. After mumbling over the
services for the coming week, the
dates of two approaching marriages
and the purpose of the days collec-
ton, he said In perfectly distinct
tones:
al am glad to announce that Mrs.
Hollis was able to sit up a while last
evening. that a very favorable report
was telephoned IN this morning from
the sick room of Mr.. Grant, and that
the temperature Of Mr.. Williams has
been reduced to 9S.'
Then he preached a sermon. put

congregation was revolving In their
minds the physical condition OF cur
sick parishioners. Many, like myself
went away believing that the minis
ters innovation would be Of inestima-
BILE value to sick folk. who are pes
tered to death by people inquiring
how they are; of inestimable value.

NEVER FIGHT WITH BURGLAR
Upset Chair and Brighten Him Away
THAT Is the Advice of City
Policeman.

Don't ever hunt a burglar Make
a noise and brighten him away. Upset
a chair or slam door.
Almost all burglars carry revolv-
ers Of the finest kind. A pete man
or safe blower. the most dangerous
kind Of criminal. usually carKes an
automatic revolver. as 1t gives the
quickest action.
Every householder should have a
weapon In the house. but he should
never use 1t unless to save his life.
ut Is the inexperienced man whose
use Of the revolver makes It danger
GUS.
"A professional or expert burglar
will never shoot unless to avoid cap
ture. A safe blower will shoot at a
policeman or any intruder. as for them
capture means long term in prison. {"
Special Officer Edward Brophy, an
expert, made these statements. says
the Pittsburgh Post. II Is only on
the very rarest occasions that he can
be induced to talk about himself. but
It is fact that he is a crack shot
with pistol. He has made study Of
weapons. and has q collection Of them
at his home ranging from little baby
hammerless" revolvers to huge VIM
chester rifles. shot from which will
move q heavy safe. He has always
been interested In guns. and has tn
ken special pains to learn about the
guns burglars and other criminals
carry.

nett afterward made his way into
the foothills Of the Panamint noun
tains, some 20 miles to the westward.

When Bennett, after great hard

his way out to settlements In the far

and the ore to q blacksmith shop and
had a sight fashioned out Of this met

silver, and hence the story Of the Lost
Gun-sight mine." which Bennett and
his friends afterward searched for
In vain, and scores have lost their
lives trying to find.

1t was "Peg-leg Smith," an old
prospector of the earlier days, who
frst found this treasure, and though
crazed with thirst he reached civiliza-
ton with some Of the nuggets But
try as he would "Peg-leg Smith"
could never retrace his steps to that
alleged wealth and he finally died

Lord Ro..herY. Phra.emak.r.

Lord Rosebery. q master phrasemak-
er, has credit for q phrase which he
never originated. When he addressed
the editors Of the empire at the White
City in June 5. 1900. he was reported
In many newspapers to have said that
Europe was rafting into barbarism."
A capital phrase. The word "rattling'
suggests bayonets, guns, and military
accoutrements: "abarbarism" stands
for the mad competition In ornaments.
What Lord Rosebery said was that
Europe was "relspsing into barbar-
ism," which IL equally true but less
picturesque. In the oficial report OF
the Imperial Press Conference. how
ever. the phrase used il 'relapsing in
to militarism," which Is obviously In
correct, as there was never 90 much
militarism in the history Of Europe. a.
there is at the present time. While
Lord Rosebery said "relapsins into
barbarism," rafting has got such
a start In the popular press that va

aside.
The boy then struck him a heavy
blow In the face, which not only stag
gered the man. but took him by sur
prise. Blow after blow the boy de-
iivered in rapid succession and the be-
wildered thief was soon defending
himself instead Of leading in the at

When the boy had him practically
whipped. the second man. who had
bounded over the counter. rushed to
his companions aid. He sprang at
Healy and tried to catch his arms. but
the boy was too quick for him.
The robber then struck at the boy
with his club. but the blow was q
glarcing one. and failed to land.
With stained face and blackened
eye, the first man pulled his revolver
and started for the boy.

panion- Let me get him with

He swung q vicious blow In the d.

to his hands and knees in avoiding the
blow, but was up again In an instant
in the corner. he found an az. Armed
with this he started toward the two
men.

the boy at bay. but with careful aim

BUGGY FACTORY WILL
COME TO MARIETTA
COMMITTEE OF BUSINESS MEN
TAKES MATTER IN HAND.
Mayor Black, Mr.. Morgan McNeel,
and Col. Cheney Will Try to
Interest Local Capital.

A meeting of prominent business
men of Marietta with the members of
the firm of The Malsby- Ship Co., was
held at the Martha Berry tavern on
Tuesday night to look into the details
of the business being done by that
company Mr.. Morgan Mcneil acted
as chairman of the meeting. The COM
mittee representing the Malsby-Shipp
Co, presented a subscription list
showing more than four thousand dol
by professional men of Marietta.
They ask that the business men of
the city take more of their stock in
order that they may feel justified in
locating their proposed buggy factory
in Marietta, factory which would
bring to the city more than thous-
and dollars a week in salaries and
which would be a constant advertise
ment for the city.
The decision was finally reached to
appoint committee of Marietta men
to present the claims of the company
to the business men and see how
much more stock can be placed in
Marietta. Mr.. McNeel volunteered to
act member Of this committee and
Mayor J. j. Black and Mr. John P.
Cheney were selected to assist him.
The Malsby-Shipp company started
business in Atlanta, three years ago
with a cash capital of $4,000. During
the three years they have sold more
than three thousand buggies and their
sales in all their lines have aggre-
gated more than 100000, with net
profits of $4,000. This money has
been put back into the business as
fast as it was earned and the volume
of business now being done is so great
that the company feels justified in
building a factory to manufacture
their own buggies.

NEED FOR NEW SCHOOL
EXPLAINED IN LETTER
Continued from Page One.

room for her to teach in. 12O pupils
are now being taught by two End
grade enough for three
teachers again, but no room. Two
Sd grade teachers are teaching 100
pupils; two 4th grade teachers 107;
two 5th grade teachers 101, and so it
goes. The 7th grade has 53 in at
tendance; another year it may be two
unwieldy for one teacher.
In the above figures no account is
taken of those turned away, of those
in private schools who might be in
the public schools were conditions
better, and OF those who for various
reasons are not in scshool at all.
What would be put in the new
building?" We are asked. This is
question for the Board of Educa-
ton to answer. Probably duplicates
of all our primary grades, and proba-
bly, grammar grade or two. No one
need doubt that the house-such
one as we can build for the money
will be filled. Should theer be room
for the High School it may go there
too until forced out by the further ex-
pansion fthe grades. The High
School, although rated as one of the
best in the state, seems to be an Ish-
mael, a wanderer, and is not especial
ly considered in these plans. The
main purpose is to take care of the
elementary schools.
No other city in the state, Of Ma
riettas size, is in such deplorable
need of school accommodations. Rooms
are crowded, making ventilation diff
cult; teachers work heroically, and
yet on account Of the sheer weight of
numbers are unable to produce the
best results.
This is not political question, but
a social and moral question A mar
row, selfish view withers the commu-
nifty as we'll as the individual. If Ma
rietta does not give it's children their
due by furnishing them school facili-
ties, she may look to see her rents
decline, her business diminish and her
population come to a standstill.

Gridiron Protected from Yes
terday's Precipitation by
Layer of Straw.

PRINCETON, Nov. 1.-THE weather
man seems to have a habit of sending
Princeton a day or two of rain about
the middle of the week and soaring
football enthusiasts by holding the
threatening clouds over them just be-
fore a game and hindering practise.
The drops began to fall early
Wednesday night and kept it up in
termittently until noon yesterday.
The heavy layer of straw over the
field protected 1t to some extent, but it
was thought advisable to move the
scene of actions on Osborne field to
the freshman gridiron, and preserve
the varsity field as much as possible.
The short scrimmage was followed
by a long drill in breaking through
and charging with no tackling all
lowed.
Manager Eberstadt announced yes
terday that Trainer Keene Fitzpat-
rick has given up all idea of taking
the players out of town, eve for the
last night. He thinks that it will do
them too little good to repay the nee
essary cutting of classes for some of
the men, who are already on the
brink of over-cutting. They will stay
right in Princeton and meet as usual
this afternoon at Osborne field for a
last practise before the game.
