[Fathen Not Mother, |
Natural Guardian of
Child, Court Rules
The state supreme court, today turned,
the popular conception upside down
when it held that under Georgia stat
utes the father, and not the mother, is
the natutiH guardian of the child.
In reversing Judge Bell, of Fulton
superior court, who had awarded four
year-old Jacob Williman to his mother,
Mrs. Emma Williman, of 80 Simpson I
street, mther than to the father. J D. ,
Williman. of t'ha bston, S. C„ the su
preme court said:
' Under Georgia law the 1 i;h. ; is the
'natural guardian of th- minor child.

j of unfitw s.- of trust, a strong, clear cast
I must be made t» sustain the objection

I child."
The court's dec isinn knocks out the
i popular idea that a mother has the
l strongest claim at law to het child. This
idea, so tie court intimated, was due to
continual ver !'< ts awarding the child
ito the mother ;ather than the father.

Tiled ami sore, but joyous In the
memory of yesterday's good time, the
little hoys and girls of the Decatur Or

day at Grant park with the animals, the

Totaling 16'1. they invaded the park
early in the day. From gate post to
gate post they romped until dinner
time. That function being over, they
resumed the romping.
They climbed trees, picked blossoms,
paddled toy canoes, talked to the lion,
cooed with the doves and fondled the
little deer that came out and shyly
looked at them. Every wonder resid

SHE SHAMS HEATH
TO TEST HIS LOVE
Female Enoch Arden Adopts j
Unique Method of Learning
Truth About Husband.
By DOROTHV DIX.
XEW YORK. May *-There Is an
| old adage to the effect that truth is
stranger than fiction. It is also a great
deal more humorous than any wheeze
the joke smiths are able to manufac
ture.
In proof whereof it is almost cyn
j ieaily aniusing to reflect that while the
| I ibret tisi s of "Two Little Bride.*" were
j I." horious'ly threshing over old straw in
’heir plot, trying to extract fun out of a
situation from which the last laugh bad
been ga tiered in the dats of Methuse
lah. thete was ha<ipening right here tin- ,
dor <mi eyes a real story of "Two Lit- I
tie ISr? is" that was a genuine rip-roar- I
ing force ''or all except the people in - |
volved in th'- plot.
This is th" tory of Mrs Heftier, or
to speak more correctly, of the'
Mesdamcs Hortler. since there ar° two
of them who are the wives of Mr. 1
'Frank Hcrtler. of Guttenberg, N. J.. I
who is a simple, honest, home-loving. ■
domestic man. with no leanings toward •
the double life or desire to migrate to :
Utah.
The plot, opens with the first Mrs. ■
Hertler. who is of a romantic and tern- !
peramental disposition, conceiving the I
gorgeous Idea of putting her husband's ■
love to the. test by pretending that she
was dead, and giving herself the “woet ,
satisfaction of beholding his heart- ;
broket; grief and inconsolable woe over
her loss.
In pursuance of this charming plan.
Mrs. Hortler No. 1 secretly convoyed
fmni home a complete outfit of clothes.
Then she went down to Rockaway
Roach on a fine September afternoon,
land, after penning a little note, she
| disrobed and pinned the note, which
I eaid she was going In bathing, to hor
clothes. Then she dressed herself in
her other clothes and went away. As
she know would happen, her clothes |
w ore found w ith the note, and she was I
1 believed to have perished in the water. |
j The beach w?s searched for her body. I
I but the treacherous ocean refused to I
give up its dead, for the excellent rea- ;
j son that she was on shore, waiting to |
| see what would happen.
Mr. Hertler Wept. But —
She sa w.
Mr. Hertler. after shedding a few
i de'.'orous tears over the dear departed,
! found himself in a most uncomfortable
' position. Ho had a house, with nobody
Ito keep it. He had little children
I with nobody to look after them. He
camo homo at night, after his hard
I day's work, to find no dinner, or else
■one s’o miserably cooked it was un
ion table. and to see his children run-
I ning w ild on the street.
What is a poor man to do under such
,'ircunistanees'.’ obviously, he has to
marry for a home. Mr. Hertler knew
a charming young widow whose case
wa the complement of his own. She
had a house full ,of children and no
! body to support them, so what more i
natural than that the two should join;
forces?
No sooner thought of than done, and
within the brief space of three weeks
Mrs. Hertler No. 1 beheld her incon
solable husband consoled, and her for
mer fiiond. Mrs. Sandhoff, became Mrs.
Hertler No. 2.
Naturally , this was a .''hock to Mrs.
Hertler No. I such a. shock that, it has
taken two years for her to got over it.
But she's come to at last. Like a fe
male Enoch Arden, she has hurst upon
the scene, and, unlike Enoch, she de
mands back her hubby and her home
ami her children, and it is reported that
Mr. Hertler. t<> whom, apparently, all
wives look alike, is about to return to
his first choice.
Mrs. Hertl*! No. I. h»«""V-r. In -pite
of the lesult of her experiment, still
I slicks to her them e that she vias Jus
:iui.'l in spamming death to find out
Just how inueli her husband really
| loved her and how greatly be would feel
l her loss should she he snatched away
from him by death.
| "I consider." she says, "that a wife
Iliac a right to put her husband to any
i test to ascertain bi* give for her. It is
best for both. If the woman finds that
; ’he man doos not love her, then she is
I fice to li'c her life as she pleases, to
| divorc* oc bo divorced by him. even
Ito elope with another man if she de
sires."
Let Well Enough Alone.
Perhaps. But there are many rights
in matrimony that only the foolhardy
are rash enough Io try to enforce, and
if there is one place where it is more
expedient than anywhere else to let
well enough alone, it is in the holy
estate.
When a husband swears to his wife
that he could not live without her. and
that if unkind death should take het
away from him that lie would either
commit suicide on het grave or pine
away in a green and yellow melancholy,
if she is wise she believes him and
offers up thanksgiving to her gods for
this perfect devotion. But she lets it
go at that. Site doesn't do any in
vestigating into the truth or the falsity
■if his statements.
She doesn’t even permit herself t<
reflect that statistics show that there
are a great many thousands of wives
who die every year, and there is no
record of a single husband killing him
self at a single wife's grave. Nor does
she call to mind the fact that instead
of being inconsolable the average wid
ower is a little ray of sunshine in our
midst, the elieet fullest, jolliest, up-and
going individual you can meet in a Sab
bath day's journey, and that on most
men the... effect of their wives' death
seems to be to rejuvenate them, and
to cause them to get busy with the
'.libe. ami the barber, and the haber
dasher.
Let It Go at That.
' Os course, as Mrs. Hertler No. 1 says.

elated, "with every conceivable folly
and inefficiency, blindness and indiffer
ence to the needs of the time. We are
told that it has lost its hold upon the
life of today. Such things have been
said about the church in every ag°.
Despite all the criticism, the church to
day stands forth with as fine and fair a
front to its work, with as genuine and
generous an enthusiasm for its work,
as it over had.”
Admitting that there are conditions
in church life and work that call for

This matter has been discussed be

that all three conventions would .)»

Big University in
Atlanta Planned
BRISTOL TENN, May Ifi. One of
the most important questions coming
before the general assembly of the
r’s :by t 'fian church in the South,
which convened here today, is the re
port m' Hie commission appointed by
tile general assembly a year ago to
investigate ami recommend plans for
th" establishment of a central Pres
byterian university in Atlanta to be
the cap-stone of the Southei-n Pres
byterian edmi'tional system. The
committee will report favorably to th.i
proposition and will piesent a plan for
financing the enterprise.
other subjects to attract especial at
tention are reports by c ommissions on
worldliness in the church, on marriage
and divorce, on a resolution regarding
the Catholic chureh. on a proposed
change in the basis of t epresentation tn
tip- assembly, and on lite progress of
llw laymc-n's missionary movements.
The sessions, being held in the First
Pi 'sbyterian church, will continue
about ten day.-.
Dr. Russell Cecil, of Richmond. Va..
tlie retiring moderating, preached the
convention sermon this morning. The
new moderator will be elected late thi
afternoon.
The local church, where the assem
bly is meeting, has just been remodeled
and enlarged at a cost of $25,000.
a wife has the right to test her hus
band's love if she wants to. She has
also a right to jump from the top of the
Metropolitan Tower to test the theory
of the attraction of gravitation. Both
are liable to see her finish. Love it
made up of illusion and delusion anil
imagination and faith, and when you
try to vivisect these and apply tlie acid
test to them, you utterly destroy them.
You rub all Hie gold dust off Cupid's
wings. Besides it is not love, hut curi
osity, that prompts a woman to be al
ways trying to take the measure of her
husband's affection for her.
Tile wise people and those who wish
to maintain uninjured their ideals o!
love and friendship never put them to
trial. They do not make too heavy
demands upon emotions that are pleas
ant canes with which to take a stroll,
but that are apt to prove broken reeds
when one tries to lean heavily upon
them. For this reason it is well to go
to your husband or wife as < ne upon
whom you have a rather slippeiy hold
Tlie real cause of divorce is because it
is put by many people to a daily ‘fest
of dowdy wrappers, poof dinners, ill
manners, bad temper, and it isn't strong
enough to stand it.
Certainly there is nothing in the re
sult of Mrs. Hertler's experiment in
shamming death to see liow her hus
band would take It, tn encourage othef
women tn apply any teat to their hus
band’s affection.
