bravado which carried him through
his trial. He cringed and cursed in

nervousness which ne could not over
come even while his senses were dor
mant was noted by the men who We're
on guard at his cell door to prevent
his attempting suicide.
AS the jury filed out of the court

heads. Give me the rope"
He tossed a coin with a deputy
sheriff, saying as he fiipped ii,
Heads l hang, tails l go free" The
coin came down heads twice. lie

Sousa to Play Ragtime-DanCing
AIIowed-Mi IIion-DoIIar Show
Breaks Records,

The great Southern Automobile
Show-the milhon-dollar display of
1914 model cars. considered one of
the finest exhibits ever seen in the
South-wilI come to a close at the
Auditorium Saturday night, after ten
days of unparalleled success.
All records have been broken at
this show. The crowds have been
larger, the volume of business done
by the dealers and agents has been
greater, and the entertainment offer
ed by the show management has been
of a higher class.
The crowd Saturday night is eX-
pected to be the largest of the week
1t has been announced lhat the re-
moval of the exhibits Will not begin
until Sunday morning. and the show
will remain intact until the last Wis
itor has left the building.
Agents and dealers will be ION the
job with as much vim and Vigor
Saturday night as they have shown
all during the show, and even though
the majority of those who will at
tend probably have seen all the cars
on exhibition, the dealers expect
their phenomenal run of business Ia
continue.
John Philip Sousa and his famous
band have drawn thousands to the
show who do not care particularly for
the display of cars
The noted bandmaster viii close his
engagement Saturday night, and by
special request will dispense with the
set program that has been a feature
of the previous afternoons aud even
ings of the show, and Will show his
appreciation of Atlantans and their
love for music by playing whatever
is requested Of him,
Though it was announced Friday
night that all requests for selections
TO be played Saturday night must be
in the hands Of r. n. Reed chairman
Of the show committee. by noon Sat
urday, they kept coming in all day.
II is estimated that Mr. Sausa had
received more than 100 requests,
many of them being for his own
noted COMPOSITIONS. Most of the re-
quests were for ragtime music, and
ragtime enthusiasts will revel in the
closing hours Of the show All of
the latest tangoes and turkey trots
are included in the requests, and Mr..
Sousa and his assistants have been
busy all day digging the music out
of the vast piles slowed away in his
big trunks.
Mr.. Reed announced that those of
the younger generation-and the old 20
er, too-who desire to trip the light
fantastic--are at liberty to dance all
they want to if they can find q place
to do it.
There is no limit to the fun YOU
may have at the show Saturday
night. If you hear q tango come
wrlggling and rolling from the horns
Of the band. and YOU feel like cut
ting a few capers all you nave to do
is to get a partner and get out in
the aisles, in the lobby, i'm Taft Hal
or anywhere you can find room, and
dance till your feet drop off and your
shoulders are weary

Tiff and Monroe
College Graduates
Hold Big Rally

Graduates of Bessie Tiff College
returned Saturday morning to At
lanta from Forsyth, where they rail-
lied Friday afternoon with graduates
of Monroe Female College.
A touching scene opened the exer-
cises. Mrs. Hudson, the first grad
uate Of Monroe Female College, and
Miss Pearl Todd, the latest graduate
of Bessie Tiff, met and stood with
clasped hands and told the assembly
of their love for their alma mater and
of all it had done for them.
Then there were songs. old and
new, and Miss EVE Campbell, the
present principal, spoke of the work
of the college, being followed by a
number of alumnae, who gave, in a
sort of experience meeting" their
own stories of their training at Bes-
sic Tiff and it's helpfulness.

that suited their needs and filled their
desires.
Because, best of all, the children
were reached through their parents
and given the JOY of the same sort of
visit from Santa Claus that more for
tunate children had. Herein was an
expression of the real Christmas spir-
1t, the spirit of democracy, at least
among the children.
No child awoke on Christmas morn
ing, and after vain search for the
evidence of SAINT. Claus wiped the
tears from his eyes and shamefacedly
told his little neighbors that Santa
had forgotten him
Dear readers of The Georgian, do
you catch my point?
Preserves Self Respect.
Inc most priceless possession in
this world which any of us can have
is the sense Of self-respect; and it is
pleasant and encouraging to know
that our self-resrect is observed and
appreciated by others, especially those
who would help us in our misfortune
or distress
Those who are strong and fortu-
nate and would repay in service to
otISi . SOO ) ululeIJlSu DeneIlIS ana
mercies to them should wish and
help, even the poorest to be strong
and able to serve like they them
selves.
The patronizing pity Of much ho;i-
day charity is hard to bear, and hui
initiates and degrades-it's the forced
exchange Of the birthright of self
respect for q mess of pottage
Chip in Now!
The Empty Stocking Fund isn't-like
that
1t is democratic because it's pur-
pose is to see that no child is de-
prived of the joy of Christmas Ivy
need or misfortune. and that this joy
shall be shared by all the children in
our city, those that live in alleys and
over stores and on the outskirts, as
well as those that live in big houses
on the best streets in town.
Come, chip in now, and remember
throughout the remaining 1854 days Of
the year the other things that you
ought to share with the children
whom you helped to make so happy
on Christmas day.

LOGAN PRAISES GEORG|AN'S
EMPTY STOCKING FUND As.
DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTION.
By JOSEF H LOGAN,
Secretary Assoc lated Charities.

or the thousands of readers of The
Georgian 1 doubt il more than a
handful know by name any one Of
the hundreds of children whose hearts
were gladdened last Christmas by the
Empty Stocking Fund. They lived
in alleys and over stores and in the
outskirts of town
Until The Georgian made a special
arrangement with Santa Claus II
looked as if even Santa himself, who
boasts that he can find all the chill
dren at Christmas time, had given up
hope of finding a lot of them.
But when The Georgian rallied SO
many signatures to the Empty Stock
ing Fund, Old Santa, like the politi-
clans, couldn't resist the petition;
and he went to the homes of every
one of those little handicapped chill
dren just as he came to your home
and to mine.
Santa Comes on Time.
He went on the night of December
"a and the children didn't know when
he came or when he left, for they
were asleep, just as your children and
mine were.
1t is only on Christmas eve that
Santa Claus comes, and the children
know it. Present we grown people
may send each other through the mail
and the postman may deliver them
Claus always brings his presents on
Christmas eve, after dark, and down
the chimney.
The way The Georgian worked this
special arrangement with Santa Claus
last year was: First, to learn the
names and addresses of the children
ne had omitted from his list, and then
to notify the parents of the children
usually their mother, because most
of them had no living father, to come
10 The Georgian office on I. day be-
fore the 25th, and see Santa Claus
and tell him exactly how to get to
their house.
Best Plan Ever Used.
And when they came they told him
also what the children wanted. Al
ways it was some toys and fruit and
candy and nuts, aI-d sometimes i
was a pair of shoes or a hair rib
bon.
One little boy said he wanted a pair
Of rubbers, because his shoes had
holes in them. And last year Old ST.
Nicholas was so pleased with these
mothers that he put in every package
Mae, new, crisp one-dollar bill for
each o. them
1t was the best administered
Christmas fund Of its kind Of which
1 ever heard.
Why?
Because, first, it was so guarded
in respect to those that shared in It
that people who were able to provide
for their own children were not
tempted to rely upon it, and did
provide for their children as was
their privilege and duty.
Again, because each child was in
dividualized 1--WE individualize our
