Permission to Sleep.

A clergyman staying at hotel one night Nas awakened in the morning by heavy pounding on his door and the voice of the night clerk saying:
 Give o'clock. Better get up or you'll miss your train!"
 The preacher didn't intend to catch morning train and hadn't given any instructions that he should be called at the hour of 5 o'clock, so he paid no attention to the call. In about fifteen minutes he was again awakened by the pounding on his door and heard the voice of the old man saying:
 "Don't get up. l rapped on the wrong door,"

tH Su"HJ oPo"'
 It occurs to me, in view of other things that l have heard and seen from my balcony in Cartagena, that balconies in general are great in- centives to lovemaking, apropos of which 1 am moved to tell tales out of school. The day that first noticed them he was standing on the very edge of the narrow side walk just down the street from my window, and she, pretty, dark haired slip of a girl, leaned grace fully on the rail of balcony op- posite, high above him. They were talking softly and earnestly, and it needed only glance to tell that they had passed together, hand in hand, so to speak, into rose tinted world of illusions.
 Suddenly, from the rude world of material things, there entered through a tall window at the girls back d stout, hook nosed elderly woman, mother or duenna, know not which. She seemed not to have noticed the little play and sat heavily down, as if for all time. The young gallant stepped swiftly back into a great arched doorway and stood there quietly in the shad- ows, his eyes fixed on the object of his devotion. She gave no sign of nervousness or annoyance at the in terruption and, without changing her position or taking her eyes from the shadowy archway, con- tinued flirting her fan languidly back and forth, but with what ap- pearcd to be d particularly signiti- cant movement.
 At last l began to be mystiiied by that fixed, intent look of these two gazing motionlcss upon each other, as if wholly fascinated. What weird lovemaking is this: thought l. Have they hypnotized each other and then forgotten how to break the spell? Just then the young man, partly turning, brought one of his hands into view, and the mys- tcry was one no longer. The supple fingers were flying like mad, form ing letters and words with such in- credible swiftncss that l could only stand and marvel. Day after day this same little comedy was enacted with trifling variations, and good- ness only knows what burning mes sages passed thus silently between ] those two. Later l discovered this to be d general custom, both men and women being adopts in that lam l guagc of the hands.-William Iurd Lawrence in Harper's Magazine.

every advantage of education and

turns, Mayo is a candidate for a
congressional nomination and his OPP

accident tie competitor meets Nance
Mayo, anG from her learns the his
tory of her former husband. Mayo
really believes his wife is dead and
when she suddenly comes into his
presence, and in all intoxicated con-
dition at that, his life is changed and
for a time his political adversary
gets the upper hand. The strongest
situations come in the last act, where
the wife pleads with her husband to
be allowed to see her daughter In
this act Miss Williams appears as
drunken woman, but with motherly
instincts left. She meets the widow
who has reared her daughter, and,
only as a drunken woman can, hurls
defiance at her. She laughs and
walls at almost one and the same
breath.
due to her terrible life, she is
supposed to have a weakness OF the
heart, and she works herself into a
pitch Of excitement that seems SO
realistic that when she falls in ex-
haustion it seems most natural.
When she meets her husband and de.
mands of him the right to see her
daughter, she again displays a great
range of ability in acting. Finally
the daughter herself comes on the
scene and she asks the reason of the
woman's weeping. After severa,

daughter that. she knew her mother

curtain falls with the mother embrae

voted a tax to gravel all its roads on
the west bank, that is, the roads
from the Iberville to the St. James
parish lines and from Donaldsonville
on both sides of Bayou Lafourche to
the Assumption line, about twenty
six miles. Assumption has already
begun actual construction of it's pro.
posed fifty miles of gravel roads
from Ascension to Lafourche. The
latter parish, only a few days ago,
ordered seven miles Of gravel roads
built from the Assumption line to
Thibodaux. Now St. James has act
ed, and by an Overwhelming major
ity has decided to construct some
thirty-odd miles of gravel roads. SO
it will be seen that since last
April, when the first definite step in
this movement was taken by Ascen-
sion's Wide-aWake people in voting a
tax or rather voting for an invest
ment in permanent roads, provision
has been made in the following par

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
BERLIN, Oct. 29.-Attired in civil
ian dress despite the fastidious ira
ditions Of the German Court, James
w. Gerard, the new American Am
bassador to Berlin, was to-day pre-
scented to Emperor William and pre-
scented his credentials.
The fact that Mr.. Gerard wore the
dress of plain American" gave
rise to the impression that President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan had for
hidden uniforms for Ambassadors at
unsuitable for representatives for the
foremost Republic
The absence of uniforms upon Mr..
Gerard and his secretaries, who were
also presented to-day, was the more
marked on account Of the known love
of the Kaiser for display and the
gorgeous attire of the German Off
Gals with whom the Americans came
in contact. The secretarial staff in
herited handsome gold braid from
the Leishman regime, all of which
are now apparently useless.
