Not a Misdemeanor.

Colonel Carter had been playing golf
for but three months. Therefore, when
the secretary of the club saw the col
onel playing his ball several feet in
front of the tee disks during tourna-
ment he thought the veteran soldier
had forgotten the rules.
Colonel! Colonel" he exclaimed,
you must play from behind the tee
disks"
The colonel's face turned red, but
he preserved his dignity.
Its none of your business, sah," he
answered as calmly as possible, "but
this is my third stroke."-Collier's
Weekly.

Make Hens Paw.

The kind of chickens you should
breed depends largely on what you
are breeding for, whether for eggs or
for market broilers. Then some like
one breed the best and some like
another. This question of breed is
best left for the breeder to decide. but
whatever breed you may choose, be
sure that the strain is pure.

Much In a Name.

Naming the farm is fun. Farming
the name is business. Put it on the
baen, and on the mail box, and on
the letters that go into the mail box:
put 1t on the crates and barrels you
haul to market. Aim for quality in all
the name stands for. Make it your
trademark, and 1t will increase your
trade in the market.

Collars are very uncertain. They

Very pretty are the deliberately folded
fichus, which appear just inside the
bodices, a revival from the days of
our great-grandmothers, and they are
fastened with all sorts of brooches and
pretty pins, the more old-fashioned the
better. All the summer through, the
fronts of the bodices have displayed
the prettiest lace and the prettiest

Best Time to Sell.

Under average conditions and with
the majority of crops and stock, the
best time to sell is when fully ready.
Holding beyond this time increases
the cost and adds to the risk Of loss;
besides with grain there is always
more or less loss by shrinkage that u

THE BIRTH OF A NATION"
ENGAGEMENT EXTENDED.

So tremendous has been the de-
mand for seats for the engagement
of The Birth of Nation" at the
Atlanta theatre, which opened Mon
day night, that the management has
cancelled all other attraction for the
immediate future to retain the big
Griffith spectacle for one week and
possibly two weeks longer. 1t is
hoped that the company bookings
can be so arranged as to permit a
three weeks run, which would bring
the engagement to close on Christ
mas night
No theatrical offering of the last
twenty years has so gripped play
goers of this section of Georgia as
has this mighty film-and-music re-
production of the South's reconstruc-
ton. While this weeks performances
have not been sold out, the box Of
flee has been literally swamped with
orders and it became evident severaI
days ago that an extension would
be necessary to accommodate the
crowds. The spectacle is being
shown at the Atlanta exactly as it
is seen at the Liberty theatre, New
York, where it has been running for
the last ten months. A symphony
orchestra of thirty plays the elabo-
rate musical score and the stage eff
fects are realistic beyond descrip-
ton. Altogether the services of fiji
ty people are employed in each pre-
sentation, from which it will be real
lied that THE Birth of a Nation
is far more than a mere moving pic
ture The story is founded upon
THE Clansman" and it was acted
for the film by a company consist
ing of $4,000 people and 5000
horses.
Mail orders with remittances pay
able to the Atlanta theatre will be
promptly filled.
The prices are: Nights, orchestra

ATLANTA, June 1S.-Princess Zada,
a real live princess as beautiful as the
one in the fairy tale, is visiting in
Atlanta, She is the guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. Clarence Angler, on st. Charles
avenue, and her unusual type of
loneliness is creating a sensation-for
one of her eyes is blue as an oriental
sapphire, while the other is yellow
like the glowing topaz.
No fable of the Arabian Nights is
more romantic than the story of how
she came by these matchless eyes.
Princess Zada's mother, through
whose veins flowed royal Persian
blood, was the chosen pearl gener
alton ago in the harem of the Great
Khan. Both her eyes were blue as
heaven, while the perfect Whlteness Of
her body put to shame the lesser
fairness of the Circassian maidens
who were her slaves. She livet
surrounded by the richest orienta
splendor, reclining on rugs of rare
design, eating only the daintest meats
and drinking only the purest cream.
But an upheaval in the courts, and
a series of subsequent adventures
finally brought her to America, where
she entered society and was admired
by the most exclusive circles. The
