fessed that. she liked ragtime as a girl,
and had never found cause to denounce
it, even as the first-lady-to- ODE of the
state. Observation-Disclosures
Mrs. Slaton said that her favor for
"a little ragtime now and then" had
continued to grow, despite the fact that
the musical association. Of which she
is president. has as its chief purpose
the development of high-class local
musical talent.
As to the moral effect ragtime has on
the youth and society of Atlanta, Mrs.
Slaton said that she was unable to tell,
not having studied the question suffi-
GENTLY.
Mrs. John X Ottley, of 20 Ponce De-
Leon avenue, an authority on music
and things musical. declined to express
an opinion on the subject
Mrs. Ottley said she had never given
consideration to the possible bad eff
feet of the average ragtime song on
Atlanta society and its morals. At
least, she said, she had no specific
cases of injury to cite.
1t is the opinion of Mrs. Charles j.
Haden, president of the Atlanta Wom-
ans club, that rsgtime songs, like GER
tain "freakish" styles in women's
clothing, lose much of their displeas-
ing qualities and become entertaining
in time.

The Much Discussed "House Guest

The Much Discussed "House Guest"
Augusta Chronicle.
About a year ago the term "house
guest came up for discussion in a
number of exchanges and much wit
was expended on the subject, fac
tious souls asking, IL some guests
were "house guests" were the others
lodged in the stables or the wood
house? Only so recently as last
Sunday, and in so up-to-date q col
umn as that written by Miss Isma
Dooly In The Atlanta Constitution.
the subject came up once more and
"mere man" with whom Miss Dooly
evidently sympathizes, again in
Weighs against the term, wanting to
know If some guests are entertained
in the garage" and some in the
gardens" and only a favored few
in the "house!"
1t seems strange that anyone
should fail to see the enormous con-
venience of the word "house guest"
to a society editor. When you wish
to state that Mrs. A. entertained a
number of guests for a few hours, in
honor of guest who is staying in her
house, how confusing it might be, or
inconvenient, to always say 1.-The lady
who is visiting her at her house
how much simpler to say entertained
ten guests in honor of her "house
guest" and everyone knows just
what it means.
No one could possibly imagine
that the lady has other guests secret
ed in her garage or hidden in coal
cellar-but she does have guests for
an hour as distinguished from a guest
for n week-or even a month as is
sometimes the case! Has anyone
ever objected to the term "house
party" and suggested that some of
the guests are i'm the house and some
out in the yard? OF course not

A THANKSGIVING.

All, that was long ago when
Thanked God that all my days went
by
In careless ease and mirth!
A Pharisee, I thanked Him then
That 1 knew not like other men
The bitterness of earth.
All, that was long ago! Today,
"Thank God for this, my grief" say,
Seeing by this alone,
l sometimes, watching In the night,
Catch far, faint visions of that
height
No lesser light had shown.
All, long ago I did not guess,
So arrogant my happiness,
How poor my praise and vain!
Dear God, today what thanks are
meet,
Seeing 1 Chamber to Thy feet
Up these steep stairs of pain?

inches OF space and use as many or
as few words as we wish, giving our
advertisement a certain individuality
which 1t Is impossible to obtain in
the classified ad. In addition to the
space contracted for we are entitled
to little business bringers in the way
of interesting notes about our stock
or some special bargains we are Of
fering. Photographs or our birds or
| buildings are reproduced, which not
only make the magazine more inter
esting to the reader but more profit
able for the advertiser. These photo
graphs, by showing the types and
markings of the various breeds, help
| every one connected with the paper,
from the publisher to the beginner
who is trying to make up his mind
what breed he wants to start with,
but most Of all they help the adver-
tiser.
The best time to begin a display
advertisement is during the summer
months when many of the other ad-
vertisers have dropped out owing to
the slack season. The reader gets
the new name fixed in his mind while
he is forgetting the old one, and in
the fall when the old advertiser
comes back for his share of the trade
he finds that an unexpected competi-
tor has stolen a march on him and
is in a good way to take some Of his
business. July or August is none
too early to get in line for fall and
winter sales. The fancier who in
tends to buy a bird for the winter
shows does not wait until the last
minute and then pick out a breeder
he never heard OF before He knows
months beforehand what he will
need and is on the lookout for the
right place to get it, The advertiser
who comes in at the last minute
stands a poor chance of getting his
order.
For this reason it is a good plan
for users of display space to run an
during the summer
months even If it is only small one,
to stay in the race all the time, that
the public may know ne has not sold
out, changed his breed or gone away,
but is still doing business at the old
stand and will be ready for them
when the next season opens.

house." And so the word "house
guest" will remain as long as the
term "house party" exists, and as
long as social columns exist their
writer's will continue to use, and be
grateful for, all words that express
their exact meaning in two such
short and simple terms as "house
guest"
Welcome is the house guest-long

REPEATS HISTORIC TRIP
How Far West Brought News of the
Custer Massacre

Grand Forks, s. D., December 20.-(Spe-
cial) )-Captain Marsh of the steamer Far
West, master of the little boat that made
a 1Ooo-mile run down the Little Missouri
river to bring word of the Custer massa-
ere in 1876. has just completed the same
historic trip he made so many years
ago.
Captain Marsh, a Missouri river boat
man all his life, still retains a vivid recol-
lection of conditions surrounding the
bringing of the news of the massacre

lying in the river a comparatively short
distance from the scene of one of Ameri-
cas- greatest tragedies.
we were waiting for orders.' says
Captain Marsh, relating the old story,
when an Indian, naked and frightened.
made his way out of the bush, the palm
of his right hand held toward us, indi-
eating that his mission was one of
peace
THAT he was suffering from some great
fear was very evident as soon as he got
into our boat. but he could not tell us
what had happened. Finally he was
given pencil and piece of paper, and
the attempt at conveying his message was
begun.
'Absaraka, all gone We're the only
words the Indian could give us, but these
were to us .uninteligible
with his pencil and paper, however,
the Indian drew circle and placed with
in it a large number of dots, Indicating
them as 'Absaraka. Then he drew an
other circle on the outside, placing more
dots and indicating them as Sioux Then,
summoning all his dramatic power. the
Indian indicated how the Sioux had swept
on the 'Absaraka' and had overwhelmed
them.
TT was not until then" said Captain
Marsh, that realized the Significance of
his message. l had a vague idea Of how
the word 'Absaraka' had been used by
Indians as designation of soldiers, and
then we appreciated the terrible disaster
that had befallen the Americans
However. we waited more definite
word, which was received the next after
noon when several American soldiers
reached us, and then began the wild trip
down the river to bring word Of the
massacre to civilization"
