What S a Hurricane
Or Two, Anyhow?

A lady on a Peachtree car forgot to
shut the door as she debarked at the
Gambler building this morning, and the
oversight precipitated a near deluge Of
conversation on the subject of the
weather.

said a man wearing a colonels hat, as
he resumed his seat, after closing the
door, must be something fierce on the
nerves of the men engaged in it,
"1n what way does it get to the

party on the seat next the window.
Wouldn't it get to your nerves." the
other responded, as he toyed with a
red bordered pocket handkerchief, 'if

Had Enough Liquor,

There's an old retainer in one of the
north side families-been with the
family for years and years. He recent
ly dallied with the cup that cheers to
such an extent that he was removed to
the alcoholic ward of a local hospital.
II wasn't his first bout with old Kid

mination of years of incessant battle
with the coffin varnish.
The treatment at the hospital con-
sisted Of limitless drinks-as many as
one wanted. Accompanying the treat
ment, medicine was administered. AS
the medicine took effect, the taste Tor
whisky died out.
Saturday the old man saw the at
tendant coming with his usual tray of

liquor, the old fellow piped:

all the liquor l could drink. Here / got

New Fire Engine VIII Be Named for Aldermo,
IKE RAGSDALE HONORFn

The latest addition to the honor roll
most coveted by politicians-to have a
fire engine named for him-is Alder
man Ike n. Ragsdale There has been
nothing in his quiet mien as a member
Of council to suggest the blazing new
red auto fire engine that in future will
dash forth from the new Tenth ward
fire engine house to Quench fires. Blu:
his methods were the principal cause
for the ward securing the engine house
last year, and the $4,000 engine house
this year; and it is an officials effec-
tiveness in getting appropriations for
engines and houses that causes his
name to be placed in FURNISHED brass
just under the drivers seat.
Thirteenth Fire Station.
Fire Chief Cummings said today he
expected the new engine to be here
within two weeks. A test will be made
of it, and if it proves good, Atlanta will
have her thirteenth fully equipped fire
station.
1t was announced today that the en-
CINE would be named Ike Ragsdale.
Alderman Ragsdale was chairman of
the board of fire masters when It was
decided to buy the engine. The other
members Of the board got together and
decided 1t should bear his name And
they are all congratulating the sur
prised alderman on the fact that the
usual contest for the honor was so
neatly avoided.
+ Many officials services have been
forgotten, but those who were fortunate
enough to get their names on fire en-
sines have left an enduring record, both
to the members of the fire department
and all those who rush as near to the
scene of action as possible when a fire
breaks out-and that's everybody.

the top Of the list, with two engines

She not only knows the history Of

has the best memory OF any woman L
ever knew.
There followed a moment Of rather
painful silence. and the doctor turned TO
me. saying brusque}y:
DO you think she would be received

Frau Zoch's dark eyes flashed and
her face showed signs Of excitement.

but Frau Zoch remained impassive.

hand in his, you will go with me, dear
est heart and all will be well"
In few words uttered intensely Frau
Zoch said:

Reprimanded by Frau Zoch.
DIR. Friedman tried to eXpostulate,
but his attempts were cut short by Frau
zoch. who reprimanded him as though
he were child
You must not interrupt" she said.
How often must l tell you that?"
With that the doctor subsidized re-
Ginning in his chair like a man sub
jugated by some mysterious will power.
Presently he broke in:
Il am a fatalist. We are both fatal
lists, she and l. and we both know that
If I am to be assasstnated in America
there is no power on earth that will
prevent it. Physicians here tell me to
wait; that 1 will be made an excellency

This young man. Friedman, how dare

sulting us?' Ten years ago l started to
inoculate guinea pigs with my live ba-
cilli. They were ordinary guinea pigs,
but now the German doctors, whose
every thought and action are regulated
by the government, demand that l in
oculate royal Russian guinea pigs.
Ridiculous, isn't it?"
Before the conclusion of the inter
view Frau Zoch announced that DR..

before the end OF the week, but whether
she would accompany him is matter

Rather than take chances he stopped

by installing new insulation.
