Instead, he waa nearly seven feet tall, with fully ISO pounds or more of avoirdupois clinging to his gigantic frame, all of. this Inclosed In a rough Weatern-llke attire and surmounted by a sombrero of tbe cowboy style. One of his chief characteristics was his voice, set with an Intonation that reminded one of a mammoth fog horn sounding q danger warning to some vessel far away at sea. t And It wa* this striking charactsr- Istlc. combined with a hilarious spirit of Jollity and materially aided by a few little '‘spirits" of a damp character, that caused this magnificent specimen of humanity to figure as the principal In a lively and somewhat exciting Inci dent Sunday afternoon at one of At lanta's popular resorts. A Strange Bird. The stranger had never been seen about thoee parts before, and no one knew him. In the crowd of merry pleasure seekers and recreation hunt ers he waa aa a strange bird suddenly transported from the wilds of some dis tant country. He was unacclimated. No one knew whence he came or why he was there, but all at one* there waa a roar, something like tbe bass notea of a locomotive whistle, and he ap peared around a bend In a driveway, approaching a Jolly crowd of pleasure seekers. The big man had no cards and hi needed hone. He Introduced himself. He roared something to this effect: "Here, you people may not know who I am, and I don’t care. But I’ll tell you. My name Is — ■ —, and I am not scared of anybody and am not looking for any-trouble. My grandfather fought In two wan and was wounded twice, and I have never fought In any war and don’t want to. I don't want to bother anybody, but I'm Just seeking a little notoriety.” About this time the startled specta tors to the little comedy, their smiles suddenly assuming a somewhat awed tinge, began to back away. In the man ner that waves back away from the spot where a rock Is thrown in water. Finding he had more room, the big man put on the "toud pedal," and his voice began to expand in volume. Police to tho Rescue. Two police officers, who were some distance away evidently suspicion- ed that'some over enthusiastic candi date waa making a hilarious political speech, hurried to ‘the scene. With their natural keen perception, they took In the situation at a glance—and proceeded to turn pole. Approaching the massive piece of manliness,-the officers Informed him ‘ on tbe "eoft Call Officers and Some Questions They Are Asked.

"I Just forgot wbers I waa at, that’s alL You see, I had an Idea I was at home. No one raises any objection there." "Where Is your home?" politely In quired one of the officers. Too Hosvy for Work. "In Texas,’’ quickly replied the stran- ' goat—notoriety. i HE several call officers at the I police station, who dally risk A their lives In answering burglar and other emergency calls for assist ance, encounter many humorous Inci dents that enliven and relieve the aero- monotony of their duty. . Among the countless telephone calls received at the grim prison are some of which an ordinary dtlsen would never dream. Numbers of these calls are decidedly unique, the police being asked to render assistance entirely for eign to police business. And In an swering these calls, the officers always have to give some kind of satlsfactlbn. Here Is a sample of some of the calls received:' A few nights ago, shortly after the hour of midnight, after the station ser geant's office had grown quiet and the call officers were patiently awaiting a call, the telephone bell rang vigor ously. Thinking that possibly some thing terrible had occurred, one of the officers leaped to the telephone. Jerked down the receiver, and was met by a feminine voice. The voice sweetly In quired: "J* that 31?” "This la 11, the police station. What can we do for you 7" asked the Officer. Wanted Change for a Dollar. "WelL aay, I am at No. — Such and Such street.. (A thoroughfare which happens to be on the outskirts of the city.) My gas baa Just gone out and I find I hav* not got a quarter In the house. I wish you would bring me change for a dollar. Everything Is doeed In this section of the city." The officer*! countenance fell ■ waa then raised with a alight smile. He hesitated a moment, then took cour age to aay: "I am sorry, but there are only two of us her* at th* station and we may get a call almost any minute. It will be Impossible for me to bring you a quarter tonight" "Oh, what will I do?" exclaimed the HE SECURED VOTES BEFORE PUTTING IN BILL Senator J. T. Peyton, who Is Joint author with Senator P. F. M. Furr, of the child labor bill, Is authority for the statement that the measure will pass the senate this time. Senator Peyton makes the statement that he secured enough pledges for his olll before he Introduced It to secure Its passage. It Is understood that an educational amendment clause Is being considered by the committee on tmml grntlon, to which It was referred. But Senator Peyton opposes any changes whatever. He says that the educational clause won't do, and that If they commence meddling with the bill It will be gotten Into such shape that It will not pass. Senator W. 8. McHenry, who Is one of the most ardent advocates of legis lation along this line, believes the Pey ton and Furr bill will get through. If It does there will be some sharp changes of front from last session, when the senate defeated the measure after the house had passed It over whelmlngly. Then It waa loat In the higher body by a vote of 34 to 17. Two members said to be favorable wero absent While Senator Peyton seems hopeful, he has a hard fight ahead, for some of the strong men In the senate are still against It. feminine voice, ss the receiver at the other end waa replaced. "Say, now, len't that the limit?" re marked the officer as he resumed his The other morning while all of tha officers about the sergeant’s office were*bu*y, the telephone bell rang. An officer who wa* trying to give Inform ation to four or five people at tha same time, stopped for a moment and answered the phone. There waa an other feminine voice on the line. Af ter ascertaining that It had the right number and place, th* vole* said, doubtless with a pleasant amlla: "Will you please tell me the score of yeeterday’e baseball game?” The policeman, who la a red hot fan, gave the score, and then; with s’ dis gusted expression on hi* face, ex claimed: ger, with a merry twinkle In his eye and a pleated amllo on his rugged countenance, aa he had visions of the open prairie and the free-Jiesrted, Jo vial lariat thrower*. “I am an old cow. boy," he said. ‘T got too heavy for th* work, though, and had to quit.” Tbe officer* then explained to the big cow puncher that hie manner waa unusual for Sunday In an Atlanta pleasure retort, and advised him to ’’light a rag." Although he looked aa though he could easily thmah about five ordinary men In a bunch,-the big Texan, who had ’ already proclaimed that he waa not looking for trouble, meekly boarded a trolley car and took a rear seat. As the car began to move th* cow puncher poked hla sinewy arm through th* window, shook hla massive fist at th* two officers, laughed a laugh that caused the other passengers to "alt up and taka notice," and roared: "AU light, boy*; now I dare you to lice me.** And aa tha car swept around a curve, taking the stranger out of sight, the crowd, aa well aa the policemen, experianced a feeling of relief all Joined in. a laugh, and dispersed. The Texan bad gained the coveted Just On* Day Late. What do you think of that? The Idea of any person In. Atlanta, man, woman or child, waiting until the da] after to find out about tbe boll game.' Another call that promised a story of a bold, bad burglar, but which de veloped a humorous sequel. Incidentally sending a couple of call officers on a wild goose chase, waa received recent ly. And It waa th* work of a third feminine vole*. It was Just about midnight that th* call came In. summoning th* officers to a certain number on a north aid* street. "Pleas* come quick," urged the ex cited feminine voice. “There la i burglar In th* house now. My husband has not com* home from hla place of business and there Is no on* her* but my daughter and myself. Come at once. W# are nearly scared to death." Th* word "burglar" alone would hav* been sufficient without th* other trim ming*. Two officers leaped onto their bicycles and sped through tbe deserted thoroughfares like th* wind. It waa but a brief apace of time until they wero on th* scene. They were met at th# door by The excited woman who did th* telephon ing. ‘‘He Is In the kitchen." ah* whis pered In a panting voice. And to the kitchen th* officers wsnt on tiptoe. As they started, they pulled their big police revolvers, and aa they neared the door, they could hear a noise In the kitchen and war* certain they'had bagged a burglar. Suddenly entering tbe door, they flashed a light and covered th* room with their pis tols. Cat Out of ths Bag. Instantly, there was n great hurry ing and scurrying and th* "burglar" ran between the leg* of one of the of ficers, prompting him to make a vault* Ing-llke spring Into tbe air. The "burglar" mad* IM escape, but th* officers didn’t care. It was only a big bouse cat. And when th* officers returned to th* police station and mads their re port on the call book, this was their only comment: "N. G." THE TWO MESSRS. EWING OUTDROMEO THE DROMEOS BY TRI8TRAM TUPPER.
