[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.

When this ; right is resist <■’, rv.-n upon the group' 1 j of unfitw s.- of trust, a strong, clear cast I must be made t» sustain the objection lof th- fat,’* r s le gal right to claim th" 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 phans home are still talking about their day at Grant park with the animals, the birds am! the green grass. 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 ing in the park's confines was un earthed. A thousand times did shrieks of delight ring out —a thousand times were the monkeys fed When the day was finally over and every known souice of joy was tapped it was a tired little 160 that filed out behind R“'. .1.

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. HERESTffIRONIN CHURCH MEETING Presbiterian Convention in Ses sion at Louisville Must Solve Some Hard Problems. Continued From Page One, 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 serious consideration. Dr. Carson said: The tone of religious life needs I strengthening. Many keep up the out i ward semblance while the fire has gone I out on the inner altar. Too many are I fertile in the restless superficiality and ' reckless love of pleasure that curse our i age.” I Bumming up the call to the chureh, Dr. ('arson said that it is for deeper . and more genuine Christian living and I revival that will quicken the spiritual ’ life of church members and give a : ehtireh- of the superlative order.

This matter has been discussed be fore, and individual opinions have been that all three conventions would .)» glad to unit" in Atlanta. Should thf ? joint convention come here it would bring about 1.500 dele gates and as many lay tnen. Separate meetings of the three branches would bo held in th" North Avenue, Central Presbyterian and Tabernacle churches, and the joint meetings in the Audi torium-Armory at night. Dr. Walker -ays that \tlanta will win in each assembl.y without a doubt. 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. 3
