ONLY A LITTLE WHILE

Only little while we travel life's weary way
Only little while we look the light of day, ~
Only little while We live, and love, and hate,
Only little while want, and wish, and wait,
Only little while we work at daily tasks
Only little while usual Masks
Only little while trouble please friends,
Only little while seek selfish ends,
only little while We struggle and strive, and fail
Only little while we buffet against the gale,
Only little while worry, and fuss and fret,
Only little while grurlble at what get.
Only little while join in the great worlds strife.
Only little while we share in the joys of life,
Only little while put up our daily bluff.
Only little whie-but isn't it long enough?

Hundreds Have
Visited "ThG
Wren'S Nest
But Few of The Number
We're Atlantans.

Atlanta, Oct. 18-Although Joel
Chandler Harris has been dead less
than decade, it has been said. to
Atlanta's shame, that he is already
greater figure in the cultured
world centers than in his native
hometown; and here is something
new that seems to bear out the
charge:
The Uncle Remus Home in West
End, which is 1.-The Wren's Nest''
and Snap Bean FARM where
Joel Chandler Harris lived, was
thrown open to the public last
January, nearly year ago, as a
public memorial and literary
shrine.
Since that time it has been visit
ed by more than thousand peo-
pie from outside Atlanta, visitors
from fifty states and seven foreign
countries, as the visitors register
shows and practically not single
Albanian has set foot inside the
house, except the persons who are
directly interested in the memorial
work.
These facts are vouched for, in
their general purport, by one who,
knows. Allowing for the pictur.-
esque exaggeration which such az
situation gains in process of repe-
tition, the condition is still one
which seems to justify the charge,
of philistinism toward the litera-
ture and art which is sometimes
brought against Atlanta.

Atlanta Views
W0maD'S Suffrage
RaV0rably.

Atlanta Oct. 18-The suffrag cite
fever has at last struck Atlanta
and seems to be sweeping all be-
fore it in the feminine ranks. First
it was the serious minded middle
aged women; then it was the socie-
ty girls and debutantes. And to
cap the climax 1T is whispered to-
day that despite certain objections
on the subject every woman teach
err in the Atlanta high schools has
enrolled herself under the suffra-
gette banner, and the girls in the
higher grades following their
teachers examples by the score.
Votes for Women has invad-
ed the Carnegie Library and every
other charming young lady who
hands you a book from the rent
collection, believesain secret that
she is better qualified to be pre-
siding at an election.
The last mass meeting of the
sufragettes was tame affair, held
in an ante room at the library, with
a score of people present. If the
thing gathers impetus the way it
has started during the last week
or so it will take the auditorium
armorY to hold the next meeting.
and mere man will have to sit up
and take notice whether he wants
to or not.
The funny part of it is that very
few men can be found in Atlanta

Jail will cost about 100000.

STEFA FANSSON TALKS
OF EXPEDITION
Will Lead Arctic Explora.

May

New York, February 26.-Vilhjalmur
Stefansson, discoverer of the blond Es-
kimo. made public today his plans for
the four year expedition he plans to lead
TO the arctic next May. During this time
he hopes to wipe off the map much of the
white space Indicating unexplored regions
Of the far north.
Stefansson and his companions, eight or
10 picked men of science. will sail out OF
Esquimault. B. c.. near Victoria, the lat
ter part of Hay or in early June on the
247 ton steam whaler Karluck, barkentine
rugged, purchased for the expedition by
the Canadian government. The Karluck
now lies in San Francisco harbor. Dur
ing the next few days she will be over
hauled and sent to Esquimault. She will
fly the British flag, as the entire cost
of the expedition is to be borne by the
Canadian government. and will carry a
crew of ii.
The barllentne will carry the party as
far north as ice filled seas will permit.
Under favorable conditions they expect
in September to reach land somewhere in
the Beaufort sea, now lnexplored. There
vessel back and remaining during the
winter. If this programme cannot be
carried out the expedition probably Will
land at Herschel island, remain there a
week to establish a primary base, return
to Prince Patrick Land and either there
or at Hersehel island spend the winter
In the spring they will go north,
They expect to return to civilization in
September, 1916 Dr. b. M. Anderson,
who was with Stefansson on his last
trip Will be second in command; the
others have not been selected.
A powerful wireless apparatus de-
signed to carry messages 1000 miles,
will keep the explorers in daily touch
with the world. This apparatus will be
erected wherever they establish their
base.
A million square miles of snow and
ice not of the North American and ST.
IBERIA will be explored so far as pos
sible. The party is not searching for
the pole, if they find 1t, it will be by
accident Mr.. Stefansson said.
Stefansson will visit the blond Es-
kimos again and bring them back TO
America IN moving pictures. To bring
them back in the flesh, he says, would
be murder, they could not survive in
the germs of civilization. He also
expects to explore the interior of Vic
toria land and define the extent of what
he believes to be the largest and one
of the richest copper countries under
the sun.
In connection with other work the
explorer expects to chart a network
of magnetic stations over Victoria land.
This viii be done for the Carnegie in
stitute at Washington. To purchase
the instruments necessary for the ex-
penditure, Stefansson will sail for Eu-
