tive pulling power of horses, men and
elephants showed that two horses

elephant Weighing 12,000 pounds pulled
$3.50 pounds. or $3.50 pounds less than
its weight. Fifty men, aggregating

FAIR WEEK AT
THE TEA ROOM.

The world and his wife, as well
as his children, visited the Tea
room during the fair, resulting in
aching feet for the management
but satisfaction and smiles when
the receipts were counted. All dur
ing the midday and evening meal
hours the tables were filed time
and again. The carnival people
hurried in between shows to order
candied yams and other deIicacies
which were new to their taste
Several counties were represent
ed at every meal Butter Scotch pies
disappeared ike magic and children
lifted up their voices and wept when
the huge ice cream freezers were
emptied refusing to be comforted
BY the sound Of bacon and eggs
suffering in the frying pans.
Although fair week was profit
able and delightful one for Americus
and its return next year will find
better preparation for it-and with
keen anticipation Of its pleasures and
profits.

E4EhE coat tnat was born to
meet all the requirements of the
smart yodng school miss. 1t is cut
on the lovely loose lines of the Dol
man-like grown-up clothes, a fea-
ture sure to intrigue early teens.
And the feature which will appeal
chiefly to her practical mother is the
durability and the warmth of the
material used, which is Bolivia.
This soft, downy fabri: has prov
en- its worth through several win
ters. Everyone likes it and it is
worn a lot because it has warmth
as well as beauty and is not easily
crushed. 1t is particularly nice in
tans and browns. Reindeer brown is
the color of this charming coat,
against which the black of the seal
collar and cuffs is beautifully con-
trasted.
A self-cording accentuates the
graceful line of yoke. Copied in
velveteen, this would make an ex-
ceedingly nice coat for dress or
evening wear.
The girlish hat, made to wear with
the coat, folds tan taffeta AROUND
a black velvet corwn and ties it
into naively simple bow in the

 When Won der Lancken arrived here he went to the German Legation but in order to obtain food cards, he had to apply to the police station, where he failed miserably in his ef- forts to obtain preferential treat ment as a distinguished visitor" A chance caller there found him in line with a group of unwashed refugees, his well-groomed figure out of keep ing with his surroundings. He was compelled to stand in line for two hours before his wants were attended to.
 To one who remembers the time when to get a word from Won der Lancken in Brussels it was necessary to give two days notice, after which one had to struggle through body guard of naughty suspicious under lings, the spectacle of this exquisite specimen of Prussiam junkerdom waiting his turn in the file amid the grimy proleteariat afforded an ex- cellent illustration of "the times that arc changed"
