■“ — 1
Four Men Required to Rescue Child,
and Ei ,'ht to Take Life of Dog.
LitW® Eugene Berkham, aged 11
years son bf Mrs. Charles I. Heath,
of 187 South Forsyth street, lies at
bis home his life hanging by a thread,
as a resu":. of wounds inflicted by a
vicious b 11 dog in East Point yester
day afternoon.
The dc was the property of Fred
Clemmen -• foreman in one of the de
partment •> of the Blount Buggy Cos.,
and it took four men to make the
dog turn the little fellow loose, and
five shotf o kill the dog.”
The fo* agoing was dipt from the
Atlanta Constitution of July 29th.
When the Jacksonian begun its fight
for the ei .'orcement of the ordinance
against vicious animals running at
large in Jackson, the Editor had in
mind the little children of the town
whose livas were in jeopardy by rea
son of Mi yor Wall’s bull-dog which
had alrea iy terrified the immediate
neighborhood iu which the dog was
kept. Tie life of a single chila is
•worth 10,900,000 times more than all
the bulldogs in the world, the Mayors
included in the bunch.
Tae Mayor should take notice of
the willingness of the East Point cit
izen to allow HIS dog killed, where
as our citizens will notice that the
Mayor w; need to kill the man who
would da ! e molest his dog.
To this end, we must infer that the
Mayor ar ned himself with a pistol
to carry ut his threat of homicide,
because a oout this time, two of Butts
good and truthful citizens saw the
mayor walking along the streets of
Jackson end a big revolver fell from
hispocke: and he quietly picked it
up, put it. in his pocket, and continu
ed on his journey just as though
there was no law against carrying a
pistol concealed. A beautiful spec
tide is it to behold the Mayor of a
quiet ana peacable little town like
Jackson v alking the streets armed
like a cow-boy of the wild and unin
habited western frontier.
We no<e with pleasure that The
Jackson Argus joiDs ns in the fight
against dogs running at large, on the
streets of Jackson, and clip the fol
lowing from their last issue towit:
“Little Gibbs Lyons, while going on
the streets last Saturday, was bitten
by a dag, the teeth entering the fiesh
a quarter of an inch deep. The dog
showed sjo symptons of rabies, but
Mr. Lyons took the little fellow to
Atlanta Sunday and was assured
there wa- no danger unless the dog
died. This brings up the subject of
• peeping dogs off the streets. If there
is no ord iance ugainst dogs being at
large, th re should be, and it should
be rigid 1 w enforced. If dogs and lit.

lowed on the streets, especially un
muzzled. It was not right in this
thickly populated .town to have hog
pens, and they were removed. Now
if our City Council will get right in
behind the dogs, they will likewise be
kept at home. Don’t wait until there
is an example that will shock our
whole community. Many sections
throught the State have suffered
seriously from dogs. Don’t let our
little city have a pall ever it from the
same cause.
8t George and the Dragon.
Other nations besides England have
fought under the banner of St George,
and other knightly orders as well as
that of the Garter have been instituted
In his honor. He was the guardian saint
of Sicily, Aragon, Valencia, Genoa, Mal
to and Barcelona; a Venetian order of
St. George wa; created in 1200, a
Spanish In 1317, an Austrian In 1470, a
Genoese in 1472 and a Roman In 1402.
More modern orders bearing his name
are those of Bavaria (1729), Russia
(1707) and Hanover (1839). The device
of St. George slaying the dragon forms
part of the arms of the czar and ap
pears on several Russian coins. The
conjecture that this was owing to the
presentation of the Garter by Eliza
beth to Ivan Vassilievltch has no foun
dation In fact, for Chanceler, the first
outspoken Englishman to visit Russia,
speaks of a dispatch sent in 1554 from
Ivan Vassilievltch to Queen Mary, the
seal of which “was much like the
broad seal of England, having on the
one side the Image of a man on horse
back In complete harness fighting with
a dragon.”—London Chronicle.
Queer Positions of Hearts.
There is one curious fact which not
everybody notices about the common,
finger-long, green caterpillars of our
larger moths. Their hearts, Instead of
being in front, are at the back of the
body and extend along the entire
length of the animal. One can see the
heart distinctly through the thin skin
and can watch its slow' beat, which
starts at the tall and moves forward to
the head. Hearts of this sort reaching
from head to tail are not at all uncom
mon In the simpler creatures. The
earthworm has one, and so have most
worms, caterpillars and other crawling
things. Hearts In the middle of the
back also are quite as frequent as
those in what seems to us to be the
natural place. Many animals, the lob
ster for example, and the crayfish and
the crab, which have short hearts like
those of the beasts and birds, never
theless have them placed just under
the shell In what, in ourselves, would
be the small of the back.—St Nicholas.
One Source of New*.
For many years a certain New York
paper received society and club gossip
from a man whose identity was con
cealed by a clever ruse. Kvcu his
checks were made out to his wife in
her maiden name. lie furnished in
formation about the doings and wran
gles in various clubs—little stories in
volving people whose names are
known by reputation to practically all
renders of newspaper columns. He is
said thus to have averaged an income
of about $lO a week—not much, but
enough to buy hats, gloves and canes.
He was a most Immaculate and ap
parently prosperous person. It Is
needless to say that he has never been
suspected of this small traffic. A
wealthy relative died und left him In
dependent. When some such man
furnishes the clew to a delectable
scandal he has done a stroke of busi
ness that will keep him In small lux
uries for months to come.—Whitman
Beuuett in Bohemian.
Counell Bluff* Rejects M. O.
The city council has turned down the
municipal ownership proposition In
connection with the city waterworks
plant and voted to grant anew fran
chise to the water company, whose
franchise expired some months ago.
The action was taken after a monster
petition, signed by almost every busi
ness man in the city, had been pre
sented to the council asking that tbs
municipal proposition be killed.—Mu

•Beyond the Alps."
A Kansas girl graduate who had been
given the theme, "Beyond the Alps
Lies Italy,” promulgated the following:
"I don't care a cent whether Italy
lies beyond the Alps or In Missouri. I
do not expect to set the river on fire
with my future career. I urn glad thut
I have a good education, but I am not
going to misuse It by writing poetry or
essays on the future woman. It will
enable me to correct the grammar of
any lover I may have should he speak
of ‘dorgs’ in my presence or ‘seen a
man.’ It will also come handy when I
want to figure out how many pounds
of soap a woman can get for three
dozen eggs at the grocery. So Ido not
begrudge the time I spent In acquir
ing It. But my ambitious do not fly so
high. I Just want to marry u man vCho
can lick anybody of his weight iu the
township, who cun run an eighty acre
farm and who has no female relatives
to come around and try to boss the
ranch. I will agree to cook dinners for
him thut won’t send him to an early
grave and lavish upon him a whole
some affection and to see that his razor
has not been used to cut broom wire
when he wants to shave. In view of
all this I do not care if I get a little
rusty on the rule of three and kindred
things as the years go by.”—Topeka

Part of the Latter We Read.
“Did you ever think,” said an old
printer, "that we really notice only the
upper halves of the letters? The lower
halves are In many cases only the
stems, the remainders of ornamental
flourishes which have been graduully
reduced In size and length and are now
meaningless. Take, for instance, the
heading of a paper. Cover up with a
blank sheet the lower half of the let
ters, and even If you did not know
what they were you would have no dif
ficulty in reading the words. Now, re
verse the process and cover the upper
half, and if you did not know the words
it would be impossible to make out the
letters. This fact is even more plainly
seen In the case of the Ilomau letters
used for headlines. An L might be
mistaken for an I, but nearly all the
other letters are so plainly Indicated
by the shape of the upper half that the
lines may be read without difficulty.’’—
St. I.ouis Globe-Democrat.
What la an Orator?
The true orator Is the man who can
make people laugh, cry and feel what
he says. In truth, the genuine orator
Is the man who has humor enough In
his. soul to bring the smile to the face,
pathos enough In his heart to bring the
tear to the eye and dignity enough In
his bearing to persuade or move men.
He is an exponent of the spoken word
He Is a pilgrim moving toward the
home of fl<e Ideal. lie Is the embodi
ment of earnestness, enthusiasm und
eloquence.—Exchange.
Pollen TravoU Far.
The pollen from pine forests often
forms a yellow coating on lakes or on
the ocean as far us 1100 miles from the
shore and has been mistaken by peas
ants for showers of sulphur. The pol
len grains of the pine are provided
with hollow vesicles, which buoy them
up in the air very much on the princi
ple of a lox kite.—St. Nicholas.
Purely Chance.
Knicker—Do you consider poker a
game of chance? Bocker —Purely.

Traveling Sana ri'iii*.
On the coust of Pomerania there are
large tructs of sand heaped up by the
wind, hundreds of yards In breadth
mid from 00 to 120 l'eet high, and
these hills, propelled by the wind,
move steudily in an easterly direction.
The speed at which these great hills
travel is from thirty-nine to fifty-alx
feet a year. Pine woods, which some
times come In their line of march, can
not stop them and are completely de
stroyed. The branches are rotted off
by the sand, and nothing is left of the
trees but the bare stems, which after
a few years wither and die.
A Crowd Is Not Company.
But little do men perceive what soli

crowd Is not company, and faces are
but a gallery of pictures, and talk hut
a tinkling cymbal where there Is no
love.—Bacon’s Essay on “Friendship.”
