LITTLE DOOLEJ IS LOST; PAPA COMES TO CLAIM HIM County Policeman Tom Davis got a hurry call to Kirkwood avenue Tues day morning. He ahovod his pistol In one pocket and his handcuffs In another and set forth. A squalling boy of three yenra waa what he found. The little fellow, a stranger, had been picked up by resi dents In that section who were at a loss to know what to do with him. At the sight of the officer's brass but tons the youngster quit crying. Offi cer Davis picked him up, brushed away his tears and began a cross-examina tion: ••Who's boy are youT" ••Papa’s." .."Where do you liver "Home.” > "What’s your name!” "Dooley.” "Dooley what?" "Dooley." Further testimony developed the fact that he was there because he had "Just come," that lie wanted to go homa nnd that he lived In n house. Policeman Davis was Instructed by Chlof Turner to take the boy to the police station to await tho arrival of "papa.” Under the care of Mrs. Holme- feld, the matron, "Dooley Dooley" spent a pleasant morning playing with tha station house cat. Later Mr. Sullivan, residing at the corner of Cameron street and Kalb avenue, came to the station and said Donley waa his property, and took tho youngster away with him. WAS CAPT URED WITH DA VIS, BUT HE MADE HIS ESCAPE A movement to establish a boys' club In Atlanta has been Inaugurated by W. O. Foote, of the Foote & Davies Co., and although no definite action has yet boon taken, the movement ts taking shape and Mr. Foote and others who are associated with him ore receiving much encouragement. Mr. Foote's determination to organ ize a boy's club In Atlanta for the ben efit of the little fellowe who spend most of their time on the street, came after an Investigation of the police records of the city which show that approx imately 800 white boys under 16 years of age ore arrested annually for various offensos. Stirred to action by this alarming fact, Mr. Foots then began an Investi gation of the records of other cities. In the effort to see what stops were being taken by them In reclaiming and mak ing useful cltlxens of these "street Arabs" who aro permitted to run free without let or hindrance to become victims of Immorality and crime. What Lynn Has Done. At Lynn, Mass., Mr. Foote found that three years ago a boys’ club had been organised with fifty ’ members, which In that time has Increased to a membership of 1,000, nnd the boys who wero formerly running wild on the streets are being developed Into a very quiet and orderly set of youthful citi zens. Lynn Is smaller than Atlanta, and Mr. Foote decided thkt what might be accomplished there might, In reason, be accomplished here. NJ Accordingly a meeting was called last Monday afternoon to discuss the necessity for such a club and tho best methods of organization. The meeting Was attended by Father Gunn. Dr. Floyd McRae, Rabbi David Mnrx, Wal ter O. Cooper, Rev. SI. L. Troutman, Linton Hopkins, F. J. Paxon, Dr. J. W. Lee, W. O. Foote and several others. At that time the proposed club was only discussed In a general way, but tho necessity for It was frankly admit ted by every man present, and It Is tho :urpose of those Interested In tho mot to coll a meeting at an early date the purpose of taking definite ac tion In the matter. Atlanta Needs Club. "The need of some such club la od mltted," said Mr. Foote Thursday, "and * believe the people of Atlanta will get half i with that An Interesting story in connection with the capture of President Jeffereon Davl; of the Southern Confederacy, after the close of the Civil War In 186!!, during which her brother, John Bur rows, was made a prisoner under un usual circumstances, la told by Mrs. M. J. Fulghcm, of Hawklnavllle, who is In Atlanta on her first visit as the guest of her friends, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Reynolds, of <7 Grant street. The story Involves Southern grit and wit and shows tho spirit of resentment which many defeats caused to still rankle In the breast of the Union sol dier even oiler the Confederate gov ernment had been destroyed and Its leader made captive. * According to Mrs. Fulghcm, her L— I - . -r— brother, who enlisted In the Eighth Georgia regiment at tho ago of 16, had Just returned homo to Hawklnavllle after tho surrender In 18(6. Almost at the same time President Davis and his family were taken pris oners at Irwlnvllle and were being transported In wagons through the country to Hawktnsville. Two or three days later Mr. Bur rows nnd a friend, Alex Smith, both of them young Confederate soldiers but recently mustered out, wero on tho banks of a creek fishing about three miles below Hawklnavllle when the wagon train bearing the captured chief tain and hla fumlly came In sight. Tbs spot where the two young sol diers were fishing was In close prox imity to the roadside and as tho wagon train drew up one of the Federal guards detected them and called out In derision: "Well, we’ve got your old president e wagon here.” "Yes," called back Mr. Burrows, a blood boiled at tho taunt, "and e’ve got yours In hell. But If he had “ os many men with us as you have you you wouldn't have ours ' wagon long." Mr. Burrows' remark shows that the feeling of the Southerner toward Presl- Llncotn was not as kindly as that iht by the years after. ’ell. If that's the way you feel stout It." retorted the guard, "you can Just fall In behind and go along, too." As there was no other alternative, Mr. Burrows and Mr. Smith, some what crestfallen, fell In line and wore forced to march all the way to Macon, a distance of something like slxty-flve miles, On arriving at Macon the two prls oners were given a wagon nnd two mules and wero told to go out nnd for age. When they were a short dlstancs from town they paid a negro |1 to take the team back and they took the trail for home through the Ocmulgee swamp. "My brother told mo," said Mrs. Fu - ghstn, “that hs expected to be killed every night that he spent as a prisoner, hut when they were given such a splen did opportunity to escape he decided that the capture was only a bluff, just Intended to scare them a little. "The next time my brother saw Pres Ident Davis waa at Savannah, several years Inter, and the former president recognised him and spoke to him as the man who was captured on the way to Hawklnavllle, and who was compelled to sleep at night under the wagon In which the president and his family rode."

Probably 1,000 boya In At lanta are spending nearly all of their time upon the'streets of the city and who never come under the influence of anything that la moral or elevating and who ore learning nothing but evil. ”’A club modestly conducted, where the boys may feel at home, and whore they will And books and papers, a gym. nsstum and games and bathing faclll. ties, etc, should go far toward making happier boys and Anally better men. This movement has been mado success, ful In other cities and we can make It successful In Atlanta. "There should be nothing sectarian or partisan about tho proposition, but It should bo by all the people of Atlanta for all the boys who do not know the comforts of a home such os falls to the lot of boys more fortunate.” FOR NORTH SIDE There la a dearth of Are companies on the north side of Atlanta, and as a result tho dtlsens living *ln that see tlon of the city are thinking strongly of petitioning the city council to locate another company at some convenient point In the unprotected territory. At present, there are only three com panies on the north side. One of them Is located In the Boulevard, another In Pryor street, near the Marlon hotel, and another In Carnegie Way. The last two named are situated near the center of the city. The city limits on the north extend to Fourteenth street, a distance of three miles from the^nearest lire com pany. This arrangement leaves a por tion of ths northern, and practically all of tha northwestern sections of the city at the mercy of tin, the distance necessary to be traveled by fire com panies rendering It a physical Impos sibility to reach the scene of a Ore In those sections before the flames have gained considerable headway. In speaking of the necessity for an, other company on the north side, Mr. A. A. Thornton, of 611 Peachtree street, ■aid: "I live a mile and a half from any lira company, and am absolutely st the mercy of fire. There are people living a mile .and a half beyond me who are Just that much farther away from pro tection. “It Is very necessary. In order to prop, erly safeguard our homes, that council should locate another Are company In our section. "Two or three months ago the dtlsens of the north side talked of circulating a petition asking ' that this be done, but the matter for tome reason was dropped.” The dtlsens are In earnest about the matter, nnd It Is probable that the pe tition will be revived.

Our motto has always been, “Sell the Best” or lose the patronage, and by a thorough adop tion of this example we have thousands of well pleased customers in Atlanta and throughout the South who rely implicitly upon our guarantee, and we will be pleased to' have you understand that if a cheap class of goods gets into our stock it is purely an oversight and not intentional. Discount Still On Since our 25 per cent reduction on Refrigerators we have sold quite a num ber of them—still have quite a few left. On the grade of boxes we handle a 25 per cent reduction means something and it is actual economy to buy now for next season if the possibility is that you need a Refrigerator now or will need one next sea son. So please think it over. Why Have Fever? All the most eminent physicians in the country say that impure water or milk create fever very quickly. If that is the case—don’t take the risk —we have just received one hundred Improved Upright Stone Filters, guaranteed to render the water pure and fresh.
