Atlanta, Georgia;
which place, being
Southern and full
of hot-headed, inn

had more pugilistic
ability to the square

Moreover, it is a
matter of indispu-

had to mop off his
face or pry open

When it came to
shutting up an orb
or giving a hand

ear, Hoke was the
fellow who filled all
orders. He was fair
ly good on upper
cuts and short-arm

the thing in which he
excelled was shoot

there are hocks of laborers in Georgia, and
every time the belhgerent brow of Hoke is
pushed above the political horizon in search
of job they drop their tools, leap from their
scaffolds, desert their locomotives and STAN
pede to the polls to vote for him.
Whenever he is not working or writing or
speaking for more safety devices on rail-
roads or greater compensation for injured
employees of corporations, he is apt to be
campaigning for friend or delivering an adj
dress that starts out with something as sill
very and delicate as the extreme ends of the
new moon and concludes with something
else as proud, triumphant, and gorgeous as
@The Star-Spangled Banner" They beat
him for the governorship once down in
Georgia. The blow came after his first
term. When the next campaign rolled
round Hoke was there like bunch of wild
one o'clock in the morning and catch six
o'clock train for long days campaigning
and speaking. And he trimmed the fellows
who were trying to beat him.
Pugilist, school teacher, lawyer, humani-
tartan, Cabinet officer, Governor, United
States Senator,-that's his biography in
eleven words. But there's one thing you
must see if you have to travel all the way to
Georgia to do it. Catch one glimpse of him
when he weeps-and weeps-and weeps!
% REPRESENTATIVE A. o. STANLEY of
~ Kentucky was holding a verbal post
mortem over the glorious victory the Demo-
Gratis won in the elections last November.
He said it was such sure thing that it re-
minded him of conversation he had heard
in the street regarding the proprietor of a
lunchroom.
Il see," said one man, shat Bill Jones
has established lunchroom. l wonder if
he's making any money out of it,"
Making money! responded the other.
with that location, the only way a man
could lose money would be to sit on the

TOHN SHARP WILLIAMS, United States
} Senator, author, and famous wit, was
discussing automobiles; which subject re-
minded him of old Aunt Lucy, colored
woman of gigantic physique and wonderful
powers of language.
One morning Aunt Lucy was standing on
the roadside while the dust left behind by a
speeding touring car settled upon her highly
colored headgear She was brandishing
aloft green parasol, and was hanging on
the atmosphere lurid pictures of what ought
to happen to drivers of automobiles who
made pedestrians leap into the bushes.

line of angina pectoris, acute indigestion, lean
degeneration of the heart, and valvular
vacuums.
This brings us to paradox. Lead Hoke
to a public platform today, give him sad
and patriotic subject on which to speak, and
he, suddenly convinced that his organs of
vision are bath towels, wrings enough tears
out of them to float torpedoboat destroyer.
Hoke is a great fighter when fighting is nee
essary or advantageous; but, when kind
ness and generosity are possible, his whole
system is inhabited by strenuous desires to
do good works.
At the present time his six feet two and
a half inches of height and two hundred and
forty pounds of weight are anchored IN the
Senate of the United States-all this acct
mutation of physique representing half OF
Georgia's membership in that body. But
he has been many other things, such as Sec
retary of the Interior in Grover Cleveland's
administration and twice Governor OF his
State, not to mention law practice that
for MANY wears has thrown into his capa-
cious pockets an annual income of thirty
thousand dollars. When it comes to shaking
down the money tree and picking UP baskets
full of the golden fruit, Hoke takes and
wears with splendor the belt of the heavy
weight championship.

came into Mr. Smiths Office in Atlanta on

but something prompted an inquiry as to
whether the boy went to school. He re-
piled that he did not 60 to school, as he was
confronted with the solemn business of try
ing to subjugate enough of the world to
Weld him three square meals day.
"You come in here every evening" said
the legal giant, @and III teach you little

And he did-which is sufficient guarantee
that his service of many years as president
of the Board of Education of Atlanta was
prompted by his real interest in schools and
the tuition of the young.
But it is as the advocate of the rights of
the working man that Hoke has always
glittered, glistened, and cleaned. Give him
case involving this question, and he thun-
ders and weeps,-thunders with such vol
canic energy that the county clerk runs out
and rigs up lightning rod on top of the
courthouse; weeps with such volume and
vehemence that every single member of the
Jury puts on his macintosh and thigh boots
and screams Justify for an umbrella.

was only eighteen years old, and prior to

of thirty-six he won
a case that yielded
him a fee of seventy
thousand dollars.
One of his first big
jobs was for a rail-
road engineer whose

DARK SIDE OF THE BALLOT
Problem of the Lady Undertak
er Submitted at N. Y. u.

What is a lady undertaken 10 do when
she gets vote and has to cast ii against
her own business interests? These a.
tragic possibilities in the situation s.
maliv prophesed by Mrs. 4 j. George
in an anti-suffrage lecture yesterday af-
ternoon at New York University.
In California. she said, the eight
hour labor law for women does not apply
to canneries In the last Legislature a
bill TO remedy this was brought up. and
the only woman who lobbied against IL
was woman undertaken. She didn't
want the law to be passed because the
decrease in the mortality OF women and
children would be bad for her business"
Mrs. George argued that the ballot was
a tiny thing. the least important element
In the whole problem Of government She
was introduced by Professor jerks. Ill
rector OF the University Forum. under
whose auspices the lecture was given.
Next week the case Of the woman move
ment as presented by DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw last week and Mrs. George this
week will be summed up by Professor

PARENTS TAKE LITTLE +
INTEREST IN TEACHERS
Mutual Understanding Between Them Might
Be Greatly to the Advantage
of the Child.

But ! can't 90 and visit school, SAYS
OH. mother. What could | do with the
baby. And George hates to have me-
come. The other boys turn round and
look at him and call him teachers pet
There is nothing sensitive child
breads more than this epithet. The only
child who does not object 10 IL is too
often a self-conscious little prig anxious
TO be noticed. and really as little liked BY
his teacher as by his classmates. The
teacher will probably try to decline all
favors from the parents OF such child
and very properly.
The only invitations she will care TO
accept must be extended TO her as
woman, and not as teacher. George
mother must make II very plain that she.
too. is lonely, far away from the old
home where somebody was always run
nirg in She must emphasize the fact
that ! ma city fell OF strangers they are
drawn together by common interest.
That interest must not be too con-
stantly dwelt upon. The teacher will not
enjoy that carefully cooked dinner IL she
has 10 eat il listening to a monologue
on Georges virtues or failings in his
embarrassed presence.
There are plenty Of other things fs
talk OF. like the theatres. about which
the teacher can probably give Freddie
mother and father first hand information
that can be put TO good use on the occa-
sional evenings when they can both be
spared from home Books, city happen
ings, or even fashions may provide mu-
tual interest.
The teacher who has spent a pleasant
evening with Freddies father and mother
and their friends will not have 10 be re-
minded that Freddie needs special help
with his arithmetic She would doubt
less give ii anyway but there II an
added zest in the favor done for a friend.
And she will be more patient with
Georges hardness after she has seen
how many stairs he has to climb
so the mother who takes time from
her busy life to get acquainted with her
childs teacher need not fear that her eff
fort will be wasted Even If il results IN
no direct beneht TO the child-in no
pleasant friendship for herself this year
II may do so next. And in any case sh'
can feel that she has done what shs
could TO make pleasanter the lot Of this
stranger within her gates.
