Phone MANNERS
ARE IMPORTANT

Atlanta, Ca, Aug 30-That tele-
phone manners are a true test OF
character, and that the man who is
continually impatient and insulting
when using a telephone is likely to be
the same way in dealing with his wife
is declared by bright and thoughtful
operator in the local exchange.
She says that years of observation
have taught her that the man who
bears the reputation of being petulant
and unreasonable at home and in bus
ness is usually the one who delights "A
quarreling with the operator, while the
man who talks in a quiet, low tone
always maintaining his politeness al
most invariably is somebody who is
looked up to and amounts to something
in the community.
She says that the natural voice as
serts itself over the phone, and that
the operator can get the speakers true
number in more ways than one The
people who Shrek and rave and con-
tinually complain, she says, and lose
their self-control, simply hamper the
efforts the operator is making to give
them good service. All of which may
be true; or otherwise.

MONTGOMERY WOMAN
CAN'T Stand MOVIES
She Swallows Poison Because
Heroine is Abandoned

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 30.-Was it
vivid motion picture film depicting
the heart story of an abandoned ma
iron struggling for an existence, acted
by Florence Lawrence, the interna-
tional sob" actress, that caused Mrs.
Clara Brady 321 Bell street, to seek
relief from her own strangely similar
troubles last night by drinking vial
of laudanum?
Many of her friends think so. For
Immediately after witnessing the big
feature film she drank bottle of the
poison, mailed her husband, who it is
said left her four years ago, letter
and went to her home, where she told
her mother that she had taken tae
drug. Then she, who it is said, found
the grave preferable to life and who
felt that the struggle was beyond her
physical and mental endurance, was
relieved by the drug which stole away
her senses and caused her to sink in
to Inconsistencies.
Today Mrs. Brady was in charge o.
physicians at st. Margarets hospital,
who had labored during the night TO
counterfeit the action of the powerful
potion which she had swallowed. The
doctors say she will probably die.
With three small children Mrs. Bra
dy came to Montgomery about a year
ago. She has been living with her
mother and sister on Bell street. Mrs
w. r. Shores, a sister, declares that
Brady left his wife four years ago ami
since that time she has been i'll al
most continually. 1t is not known
where Brady is living. The note which
the woman says she wrote him is be-
lieved to have been mailed soon after
she took the drug.
