Thomas E. Watson, the red headed
person" of McDuffie, has Just returned
from a trip to Florida, where he went
a few weeks ago, following a nervous
breakdown. His trip did him worlds
of good, and he now says he feels quite
his old self again, and ready for any
thing coming his way, no matter how
gentle or strenuous it may be.
Mr.. Watson is a tireless student. He
goes through a stack Of newspapers and
magazines every week that would APP
pal the ordinary reader, and finds time
books and browse around considerably
in the classics.
Besides that-well, he writes a book
or so himself every week; and the won
der to those around him is how he man
ages to get away with it.
Georgians who intend witnessing the
inauguration and participating in the
subsequent festivities in Washington
should grieve little, If at all. that the
inaugural ball has been called off. It
never is worth the price Of admission
which has been, for time immemo-
rial, IS.
There is but one building in Wash
ington which will accommodate the
ball. and that is the pension building
which is, by the way, the largest brick
building in the world. Generally some
thing like 10000 tickets to the ball are
sold, and the visitors are packed and
damned into the hall on the night of
the big event, worse, if possible than
sardines in a tin box.
The presidential party comes in along
about II o'clock and walks from one
end of the ball room to the other, and
then departs. It's all over in something
like 80 minutes--that IS the big show
is all over
One generally leaves an inaugural
ball in Washington figuring how many
different ways he could have had nine
or ten times as much fun out OF a IS
note-even if the So note were all Of
the expense, which it isn't.
The people who will be hit the hard
est by the calling off of the ball are the
local subscribers to the inaugural guar
antee fund-usuaIly 0,O00-who de-
pend upon the receipts from the ball to
pull them out Of the hole.
The impression that Washington
makes a great deal of money through
the Inauguration is a mistake-as a
matter of fact, taking the last four in
augurations, say, the city of Washing
ton likely is many thousands of dollars
| behind because of it. The last inaugu-
ration, indeed. was financial catas-
trophe in Washington.

occasions have refused to permit roy.

the Virgin Mary with her infant Christ
visited the mountain, and that no
woman has been allowed to do so

The custom of coffee drinking is
relatively of rather recent develop

their descendants in America, says H.

America" For some reason, for a
long time after it made it's way west
from Arabia and Turkey, it was un-
der the ban of the church. Maybe
this was because Of its Mohammedan
origin.
1t was not until 1852 that the first
house that made a speciality of serv-
