HUMAN FLY" To
PERFORM HERE
Continued from Page One.)

Williams manager, NJ. H. Karnes,
was in Americas today, and after care
fully looking over the ground, decided
that the Rylander building was the
most difficult one in this city to climb,
as the face of it is perfectly smooth
and it is not like the Planters Bank
building, which is higher, but is SO
constructed as to make its face almost
like ladder, and not near so hard l.
climb. Mr. Karnes has laid out plan
for the Human Fly to follow that will
prove enough of a thriller to satisfy
will start from the ground after be-
ing securely blindfolded and will climb
straight up the face of the building
onto the roof and will then hang from
the f1ag-pole On top of the structure
by his feet, and wave both hands to
tte crowd on the street. Mr.. Williams
is the original Human Fly and has
climbed some of the largest buildings
in America, and has thrilled thous-
ands wherever he has appeared. In
the four years that he has been clint
ing, he has climbed more than 300
miles. He is the only climber that
has ever attempted the Washington
Monument, and he climbed 1856 feet
UP that. His feat is the most wonder
full imaginable, when one takes into
consideration the fact that he does nos
use anything but his hands and feet to
carry him to the top over all sorts OF
obstacles. The citizens of Americas
are, indeed, fortunate in having this
opportunity of witnessing the Human
Fly in action as this is the only place
outside of Macon in which he has per-
formed, except Athens, where he made
a similar climb for the Empty Stock
ing Fund of the Terald.

bands small salary, or maternity,

HER SEVEN SELVES-TOWARD HER. HUSBAND
EVERY WOMAN is A CHANGELING

y A CHAINNIELlING
Often it is as though a girl had put
forth the one great effort of her life
to catch a husband and had no more
ambition or energy left with which
to make herself an attractive chum
and smart little business partner.
But as a changeling a wife may
astonish her husband in quite aneth-
er way.
Woman often reveals her raTest
charms only when she is severely
tested. Matrimony is such a trial.
The maiden who has been quiet,
bashful and subdued sometimes
takes on an astonishing brilliancy
after her marriage. She suddenly re-
veals as many dazzling facets as her
engagement solitaire.
And all, perhaps, for her own I'M
doing.
A stupid man frequently distrusts
a vivacious wife, A jealous mans
chief pleasure is to stamp out his
wife's originality. Men of a certain
type grow sullen and vicious as their
wives grow resOUrcefUl.
Marriage and maternity develop a
woman's natural tendencies. She is
at her best or her worst in a few
years.
Whether a husband approves of
his chapgeling wife or not, is of the
utmost Importance, not only for her
happiness, but for his own inspira-
ton and growth.
A wife fixes a mans standard of
womanhood. AS she is brave, loyal
and Unselfsh, he believes all other
women to be. If she is tickle and
lazy, so he imagines the rest of her
sex. Men revere their mothers as a
matter Of course, but usually as mar
VelOus exceptions to the common
rules which govern other women.
