SPECTACLED DOG
STORY BEATEN BY
SMOKING CANINE.

MOULTRIE, Dec. 2.-Several
years ago a story sent from Moul-
trie' about Fanny, a bird dog that
had teewear glasses because she suf-
fered from astigmatism attracted
wide attention. Popular Mechanics,
a magazine, asked 70 ra picture Of
the dog and other periodicals sent
inquiries to local newspaper, and
now another dog story has bobbed
up that sounds even more unreason-
able, but is vouched for by many
reputable citizens of this community.
It is about big white-spotted coach
dog that has a pronounced fondness
for good pipe. After his breakfast
the dog lets his owner, tourist,
know he was ready for his pipe. 1t
is provided, filled with a popular
brand of tobacco, and a match ap-
piled. The man and dog then walk
down the street, the former enjoying
his cigarette and the latter; uiiassist-
ed, putting away on the pipe, while
the eyes of some of the natives hang
down over their faces like overcoat
buttons.

Clarke told him he wasn't going to be
caught mapping.
Clarke further stated that he would
control the order sooner or later, and
that he would be the Ku Klux Klan.
He said Clarke told him he would es-
tablish chain of newspapers from
coast to coast, and control the en-
tire country. Atkin said ne distinctly
recalled the following words uttered
by Clarke: "Atkin, old man, have
reached my ambition. / will be the
head of the gretest machine in the
United States, and will make mil
lions out of it."
The charges against Clarke were
placed before the kloncillium at
meetings held last Sunday and Mon
day, according to Terrell. In pre-
senting their charges against Clarke
and Mrs. Tyler, Terrell said he and
his associates offered to go before
the kloncillium and make their eharg.
es face to face with Clarke. Terrell
said they made the same charges to
Imperial Wizard Simmons in the Of
flee of Paul S. Ethridge, attorney for
the Klan.
Eve told Colonel Simmons our
whole story and he sat mute" Terrell
said. when the story was finished
and we had furnished him with our
specific charges, Colonel Simmons
spoke for the first time. He told us
that he had made private investiga.
tions and had found that. our charges
were true. In addition, Colonel Sim
mons made other charges against
Clarke. Simmons then told us if the
charges could be proved that either
he would resign or Clarke would have.
to resign. He said he would notshead
any such order that had for its exec
utive officers such people as Clarke
and Tyler if they coald be proven to
be OF the kind Of people we charged
they were"
This is just the beginning Ter.
rell said in discussing the bail troyer
proceedings and in making public the
affidayits. eve are in this thing to
a finish. If the Ku Klux Klan, as an
organization. is controlled by a man
like Clarke, it can become the most
dangerous body of men in the world.

public. A peculiar thing about most
OF these lady cashiers and clerks on
the South Side is that they imagine
that their presence adds some peculiar
value to their place of employment.
That is a mistake. The first essential
thing to be learned when accepting
position OF responsibility is that you
are there to cater 10 and please the
public and not the public to cater to
and please you. 1t should be borne IN
mind that the purchaser at least some
of them, are not patronzing the place
for the purpose OF social entertainment
and it is not a question OF counting a
clerk, but a purely commercial transac-
ton of getting what one wants which
IS on sale OF course, the field of
clerks ii must be admitted, is limited,
and very often those who desire such
help are forced 70 accept people whose
former or early training did not include
politeness For a long time the fight
was waged on the South Side to ac-
quaint the business man with the fact
that he ought to treat his customers
with at least common courtesy. This
fight has been practically won Now
the tight will have to be made to con-
vince the employee that prospective
purchasers are entitled to courteous
treatment and at least pleasant smile
Politeness on the part of the employee
facilitates sale and sends the pur-
chaser away satisfied and contented
both with the object obtained and with
the treatment received. 1t also gives
the employee the satisfaction that they
have reached point of efficiency
whereby their services have become an
asset to the employer rather than la
blity. Politeness makes it easier all
around, costs nothing and pays album
