GEORGE’S LONG HOBO TRIP
ENDS BEHIND STEEL BARS,
BUT HE HAS SEEN A TLANTA
After filling hi. youthful mind with
a stork of lurid Ideas, gained from the
constant reading of a choice lot of
nickel and dime literature, such as Nick
Cmter Dcadwoot! Dick. Jr., the James
Bovs and the like, George Craven, a
lirlch’t lad of 15 years, ran away from
his horns In Champagne. III., three
months ago to Invade the wild and
wooly west and see some of the scenes
and Ideals of his favorite stories.
The hoy trump Is now In Atlanta be
hind the bars at the police station, nft-
c- having made one of the most ro-
niatkabie tours ever credited to a youth
„f ids tender years. During the three
months away from home und father
and mother. George has seen practical-
tv nil of the principal points in the
\Vost nnd East, and has the distinction
of having "taken In" the sights without
a cent of money, having traveled the
cntlrr distance ns a hobo, riding the
•■blind baggage." tops of passenger
trains nnd freight trains.
At an early hour last Tuesday morn
ing the hoy rolled Into Atlanta from
Jersey city and New York, having left
the f irmer place Saturday afternoon at
5'30 o'clock nnd riding the whole way
on top of a Southern railway passen
ger coach. He Is now on his way home,
coining here, he says, because he wns
anxious to see Atlanta before return
ing having heard so much of the city.
Since arriving here he has been twice
arrested. He was taken before Judge
Calhoun. In the city, court, Saturday,
hm was released on his promise to
leave the city. Saturday night he was
•fou»d In one of the railroad yards, hid
ing on top of a freight car. and was
again taken In custody. He will now
he held In care of Probation Ofllcer
Gioer until his father. B. F. Craven, a
painter, of Champagne, 111., can be
heard from. He will then be sent
home. , .
As the boy tramp peered out between
the bars of his cell Monday morning,
his grimy, but Intelligent face assumed
a rather sickly smile, and he remarked
In a sarcastic tone:
"Well, this is a hot finish to roy trip,
all right. I guess. Here I have been all
over the West and East, in nearly all
ot the principal cities, and this Is the
first time 1 have been arrested. 1
passed through the lines all right
everywhere I went till I struck Atlanta,
then I get pinched. But then I have
seen Atlanta and I suppose, it Is worth
the price."
When asked about his trip, the-youth
slated th*t he had enjoyed his varied
experiences very much, roughing It
about over the country, but quickly
added: .
"I have got enough, however. I don’:
want any more of It. I am ready to go
back home now.”
He said he had xvorked for only his
board and clothes In nearly all of the
larger cities he visited, and had "beat'
hie way on trains from one place to an
other. He rode the "blind baggage"
most of the way. he says.
When asked why he ran away from
home, the boy frankly replied:
"Oh, I had been reading dime novels

That the liquor powers In Georgia
were only temporarily demoralized by
the enactmont of a prohibition law
that the whisky Interests have not yet
shown their full strength and that the
fight for prohibition In Georgia Is yet
In Its tnclplency. Is the belief of City
Attorney James L. Mayson. as express
ed In an address delivered at the regu
lar weekly meeting of the Methodist
ministers of Atlants.
As a candidate for congress from the
Fifth congressional district, Mr. May.
son has declared himself at all times
hearty sympathy with prohibition, but
at the same time expresses his convlc.
tlon that the fight to hold Georgia
the "dry” column is only begun.
The litigation has Just begun In
Georgia," said Mr. Mayson. "The llq
uor combinations were temporarily
cowed by the legislation recently en
acted, and they haven't yet shown their
real strength, but they will show It.
"Ths liquor men of Georgia are seek
Ing the cover of the national constltu
tlon to protect themselves. But the
supreme court Is not with them. They
can not say that they have vested
rights and that they are entitled to
the privilege of conducting this evil
along with their other privileges
American citizens. I understand t
some of them are preparing to fight the
law on the ground that they are al
ready possessed of a charter under the
seal of Georgia, and that the legisla
ture ran not take away this charter.
There Is no ground for disturbance on
this score, among us who oppose them.
The supreme court has been with us
here again and has decided that no
charter holds good when the state’:
legislation Is against It.
New Locker Clubs.
There Is going to be a fight on the
clubs which are springing Into exist,
ence since the new law was enacted.
There have been two so-called
leagues' chartered In Fulton county
within the past month. I eee where
advertisements nre appearing for tne
charter of another. In which the vice
president of the Atlanta Brexvlng r
puny, another liquor man, who Is
tall dealer, and a friend of theirs, all
three appear as Incorporators. We may
expect to have a dozen or more of these
In existence before the year Is ended.
The liquor men will In this way try to
rer.der the law Innocuous.
“Clubs are recognized under the
new law. but they muit be bona fide
clubs with a home of their own.
these clubs members may keep their
own private liquor In their own lock
ers, unless the Juries of Georgia hold
that a club Is a nubile place. In de
fault of that decision, the law'a offl
cers can not get at the legitimate club.
But it can always find Its prey In the
Imitations. To coin a word, the tml.
tatlons are prosecutable. The mush
room substitutes for the barroom can'
protect themselves. There will be hard
fighting over this ground, but the Imi
tatlons have no legal right to exist,

Fabrics With All Paris to Choos?
rom-and Paris to I
ans ro inspire
Like the gergeous flower plants we sometimes see ih the opera, that begin
to opsn their leaves with the strains of the orchestra, until, in the supremehess
of their uhfolding, a beautiful fairy steps out of their petals, se these new fabrics,
stepping out of thsir boxes, suddenly delight you with their ravishing beauty.
Sometimes it is a hew beauty, sometimes it is an old idol reawakened ahd
capable of charming its adorers forever.
Chiffons—what splendor. You've seen the early
morning sun glittering from a great spider’s web in
which the dew has caught. Hundreds of tiny sparkling
bits.
Weave this web of finer mesh and tint it an ex
quisite shade of pink or blue or helio, and you have one
of the chiffon creations.
And the chiffons with stripes—for it is noticeable
among these dainty fabrics for evening wear that
stripes are to the fore.
Chiffon with moire silk or satin ribbon stripes.
Chiffons with chenille designs that are beaten into
the cloth with a wonderful shimmer and sparkle.
And still the creators of fairy-like cloths were not
satisfied.
Chiffon must produce more wonders.
This pale blue film with great roses laid here and
there over the surface. And chiffons with sequins;
chiffons with borders—but wait, what are these?
Marquesettes—Yes, indeed, we remember them;
their beauty and possibilities are not to be forgotten.
Marquesettes, but never as before.
With Persian stripes, with plain satin bands with
borders or embroidered in contrasting and self colors.
But detailed descriptions and classifications begin to
lose themselves in these heaps and folds of diaphanous
loveliness.
Filet Nets with satin bands; by the yard and in suit
patterns.
And Robes—Robes’from the medium priced to the
real laces.
Effects that we are quite sure you’ll not find any
where else in the whole South, for, like the other
things, they are our own direct importations.
Exclusive designs in crocheted laces, Chantilly,
real rose point, Point de Paris, Renaissance, Irish poiqt
and the new braid effects.
And with them are some intricate designs in
braided Jackets.
And the trimmings and ornaments for all these—
truly they must be as dainty.
We had all Paris to choose them from, picking the
lowest priced as carefully as the most expensive—and
nothing was allowed to come along just because the
price was low. No, indeed. If the effect did not appeal
to us the price could not.
The result is we have many ornaments and bands
that are not brought over by New York importers at all.
Designs shown only by the ultra in New York’s dress
making world.
Novelties—and importers must always add a large
per cent on novelties and going direct; being our own
importers, has saved you and us many a dollar on
these things, you will find.
Bands from the little bail fringes to all sorts o 1
ornaments for street and evening dresses and coats, in
black or colors.
Band trimmings in braid designs, combined with
velvet, cloth and taffeta, a great many of these hand-
embroidered.
Sequin bands in filet nets.
Filet embroidered bands in many widths. \
Chenille drops combined with braid in all colors.
„ Graduated collar ornaments of heavy silk braids
with deep tasseled ends.
Braid and silk cord fan-shape ornaments or ro
settes with many pendants. ^
