Atlanta Chamber of Com
merce Honors a Dead
Corn Club Boy.
The Chamber of Commerce to
day sent to the capitol a beauti
ful wreath of white and pink
roses, and the floor management
of the show, at the chamber’s
request, had it placed around the
exhibit of little Ralph Whatley,
of Fayette county, who died just
two weeks before the show was
opened.
This little fellow made a fine
crop of corn on on his acre of
ground, and was very proud of
it. He had looked forward to
the Atlanta show for months and
fully expected to attend.
A few weeks ago, however,
typhoid fever seized him and he
passed away at his home in Fay
ette.
Just before he died he request
ed that his exhibit be taken to
the “big show in Atlanta.” •
The Chamber of Commerce,
which is backing the corn show
in away, was deeply touched by
this boy's enthusiasm, even at
the brink of the grave, and to
day gave its official, if melan
choly, approval of the same in
the beautiful wreath of flowers,
with which the exhibit will re
main surrounded throughout the
show.
. Hundreds of visitors were at
tracted by this exhibit and the
pathos of it.—Atlanta Georgian.

I The South in the Saddle.
If the South is the saddle now,
it is riding as modestly as gal
lantly.
Senator Claude Swanson of
Virginia, who was a young con
gressman in 1884, remember how
the regiments of Southern Dem
ocrats, long exiled and hungry,
swarmed over the Cleveland bos
om in such numbers and enthusi
asm that the “Only Democratic
President” fled for refuge to the
duck marshes of Virginia. And
Senator Swanson notes now with
pardonable pride the dignity and
res< e with which the more
pro ius sons of Dixie are
wa ig on Wilson’s pleasure for
distribution of the spoils.
Our : • ighhor of the Sun is
seal than historical when
it challenges the right of the
Democratic South to any special
claim to patronage and office.
The Sun has forgotten. It was
the South which for a quarter
century after the war vertebrae
and stalwart ribs of the Demo
cratic party.
From Grant to Cleveland the
South furnished the great ma
jority of the votes and a general
share of brains, and its claims to
reward is past perfect in loyalty.
At the time, too, when the
South’s strong personal pillars
are propping the Democratic
structure in Congress and the
Senate and the courts, any Sou- 1
them modesty in the neighbor-1
hood of the offices is as commen
dable as it is rare,

PECULIARITIES OF ANIMALS
« ,
Some Things You May Not
Know About Them.
Tortoises and turtles have no
teeth.
Both mandibles of the parrot’s
beak are movables, but most
birds are able to move only one.
The horse has no eyebrows.
The appearance of much white
in the eye of a horse indicates a
vicious nature.
The stork is partial to kittens
as an article of food, and the cats
reciprocate by a love for young
storks.
The frog, owing to its peculiar
structure, cannot breathe with
the mouth open, and if it were
forcibly kept open the animal
would die of suffocation.
Whalebone is found in the
mouth of the whalebone whale,
where it forms the substitute for
the teeth, of which otherwise the
animal is destitute.
Pigs are poor swimmers, their
forelegs being set closely under
them, and when they fall into
the water they sometimes cut
their throats with the sharp!
points of their cloven feet.
The eyes of hares are never
closed, as they are unprovided
with eyelids. Instead thereof
they have a thin membrane which
covers the eye when asleep, and
i probably also when at rest.
The deer is furnished with I
i supplementary breathing places!
in addition to the nostrils, and,
this would appear to be an extra
ordinary provision of nature giv
ing the beast of the chase a freer 1
respiration.
Fishes swallow their food has-'
tily and without mastication, be-1 ;
cause they are obliged unceas- [
ingly to open and close the jaws
j for the purpose of respiration I
and cannot long retain food in
the mouth when quite shut.
The hump on the back of the
dromedary is an accumulation of |
a peculiar species of fat, which is
a store of nourishment benefi
cently provided against the day :

PICKS UP FIERY CIGARETTE
Bird Causes the Burning of
School Building.
Valparaiso, Ind. —A smoldering
cigarette picked up and carried
by a sparrow to the belfry of
Main hall on the University of
Valparaiso campus the other day
set fire to the structure and al
most resulted in its destruction.
It was only through strenuous ef
forts on the part of the fire com
pany and the students that the
building, an old landmark, was
saved.
The belfry is used by a large
number of sparrows as a place
to build their nests. One of the
I students threw a lighted ciga
rette on the campus and an in
i quisitive bird searching for some
thing with which to line her nest,
| picked it up and flew to the tow
ler. A few minutes later students
passing the building saw sever;.l
of the nests ablaze and the birds
I were flying and screaming.
The fire company was summon
! ed, but by the time it arrived the
tower had caught fire from Ih<
nests, and, fanned by a stiff
I breeze, the flames threatened th<*
entire structure. On account of
the height of the tower, the fight,
against the flames was a hat 1
one, but re-enforced by a num
ber of students, the fire company
finally was successful.
