I haven't been absorbing any more Scotch than ■usual. but 1 was ready to take the p.edge this time, and take it quick "It happened Just before I reached my cat line this morning Around the corner came a puppy, yelping and playing, and believe me, he was as hiat us an Italian sunset No, he wasn't black, but blue —sky blue. I hadn't caught my breath and grabbed the fence to steady myself be fore another turned the corner, and this one was pink, as dainty a pink as a debutante's dancing frock. Then there was a green one. with white legs They fell over each other and sprad dled out in the road until they looked like a rainbow- having the cramps. Two little girls, their white dresses “pattered with aint, came round the corner in pursuit of the pups. " 'Say. kiddoes, what's the matter with those dogs?’ I asked. " 'The man's putting paint on our walls.' they explained. ‘And we thought it would be fun to dip the puppies in his buckets and have >m three colors. The man says It’ll wash out in cold water.’ " 'Maybe so.' I said. 'But if your daddy’s a drinking man you'd better use that water cure before he sees those pups, or he'll leave you for a padded cell.' "And my car came along Just then, so 1 left." Policeman Discovers The Secret of Love. "Believe me, it’s the hot weather and not the moon that makes the sentiment bubble out in the young heart this time of year." The speaker was a police man-philosopher. He patrols Peach tree and considers all persons between sixteen and twenty-one his special charges. "Out of the wealth of mv experience I tell you this: The moon shines as much in winter as in summer, but you don't have any veranda cooing in De cember; therefore. I say it’s the atmos phere. Without talking too much. lam free to confide that it does an old head good to walk abroad at this season. 'Most any night you can hear soft sightngs which mean nothing or every thing: or perhaps It's the soft tinkling of a piano with the sound of a voice singing ‘I Want No Stars in Heaven to Guide Me.’ This particular young wom an who sings this song professes hard ness of heart. I'm told —insists that her repertoire of songs was chosen quite at random No one who over heard her •*lng 'I Love Thee' would believe that. "1 frequently meet strollers, but, of course, never see them. I don’t see that it really matters if this summer's en gagements are pronounced null and void the next. The sentiment is there for the time, whether it takes'or peels. I for one am glad that there is more or less insincerity, in it, because if it wasn’t, there certainly would he some direful things happen. It would he aw ful. for Instance, if that young man who declared a positive hankering to cut off one or two fingers Just to show the girl from Louisville that he was capable of suffering Mr her sake, would really make good. Why, in a little while he wouldn't have any more fingers and toes than a duck. These summer time pledges would certainly be hard on the drink venders. Under the soft Influence of HER It is usually appro priate to foreswear any number of con coctions. For instance, there's one lad die I know who has sworn that he will never drink another gin fizz—for her sake, of course. He doesn’t ng-ntion martinis, or frappes, or highballs, or any of the other fifty-seven varieties of bracers,' and I presume they are not tabooed. Possibly she doesn’t like the color of gin.

The disease has come down through all the ages and is to-day, as it has ever been, a scourge and blight upon hu manity. The symptoms of Contagious Blood Poison are the same as in its earliest history, but its cure has now become an accomplished fact, where as, it was once considered an incurable infection. S. S; S. is an antidote for the virus of Contagious Blood Poison, and cures it in all its forms and stages. S. ,S. S. possessing both purifying and tonic properties routs out all the poison, and at the same time builds up the general \ health. A person who has been -cured of Conta -1 gious Blood Poison by the use of ,S. S. S. need not / fear a return of its symptoms at any future time. This great medicine checks the progress of the yj H| jF poison and gradually but surely all sotes and erup tions heal, ulcerated mouth and throat pass .away, the hair stops falling out, copper-colored splotches fade away, and when the blood is thoroughly purified no sign of the disease is left.

July 9.—An explosion wrecked a section of the Gadeby coal pit dt Conlsborough. Yorkshire, today. Mine .officials said several hours after the explosion that the death list would be more than 40, while others were miss ing and were believed to be dead in the shaft. A squa'd of relief workers entered the mouth of the mine, But could make little headway because of the presence of noxious gases. Scenes of pathos and excitement attended the disaster while the families of the penned up miners clustered about the pit mouth imploring that their relatives be res cued. At 2 o’clock this afternoon 30 bodies had been recovered. Many of the corpses taken out w ere burned so badly they could not be identified. One hundred and fifty miners were at work in th" mine when the explo sion took place. Conisborough is the seat of the Yorkshire mining district in West Rid ing.

JENKINS, WHO STOLE ALEX SMITH’S TRUNK,HELD INSANE SAVANNAH. GA., July 9.—On the the ory that his hallucinations of having plen ty of moniy, and that he does not have to work makes him a fit subject for the state sanitarium, W. C. Jenkins, of At lanta, who was recently arrested, charged with the larceny ?ofs a trunk from Alex W. Smith, ex-president of the Georgia Bar Association, at Ty.bee, has been de clared insane by a jury. The criminal prosecution had been previously nol prossed by the solicitor general. The evidence tended to show that Jenkins' trouble Is the result .of overstudy as a child. He was recently in trouble in Jacksonville, but the matter was settled. He represented himself then as being a lieutenant in the United States army and a graduate of West Point. Dress suits from Smith's trunk were loaned to Savannah police, who had a big time in them at the beach on the occasion ot their annual picnic. HEYWOOD TO HANG AUGUST 9.

Men and Religion Bulletin No. 5 THE HOUSES IN OUR MIDST A CONFESSION Corruption, Political and Otherwise FIVE FACTS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE First. SEDUCTION of girls is made certain, frequent and profitable by the houses in our midst. The houses must have inmates. The inmates can be only prostitutes. . A prostitute is a fallen woman. A fallen woman cars be obtained only by seduction. They die in five to seven years from being bought and sold. Hence the .sign of “girls wanted” must be frequently given the trade. Over $700,000 per annum is the volume of trade in our houses You, through your officials, who have sworn to enforce the law, and do it not, are responsible for this. Second. DISEASES, the most malignant and deadly, are spread among the innocent by the houses. . One of these maladies was formerly regarded as-no worse that a “bad cold.” .Some doctors estimate that 50 per cent, others 90 per cent, of men have it. Once regarded as a joke, it is now known to be a source of disease of the prostate gland among men. blind eyes for their children, and suffering and death to their wives and babies. Twenty per cent of Americans, according to a .medical authority, are now suffering from the other malady, which, beginning with ar. eruption, like a slow fire devours the bones, muscles, arteries and viscera. Sometimes the features are eaten away. Doctors say that in three years all prostitutes are infected with both diseases. Both may be transmitted to the innocent by towels, furniture, drinking cups, and door knobs. The first, second, third and fourth generation of children bear the blight. You help to scatter it by the failure of your officials to keep their oaths of office. Third. PROSTITUTION has never been confined or segregated in a district of Atlanta. The evil was not scattered by the attack on Collins street, the former so-called segregated district. It was already scattered, as is ever the ease where segregation is supposed to be in force. When good men dared do no more than ask that the houses be moved from the neighborhood of the churches and the Boys’ and Giris’ High Schools, the solemn faree of Selecting another segregated district was enacted. An injunction then was required to move the evil from the doors of our schools and churches, so zealous were our officials in the non-enforeement of law. You. through your officials, who broke the laws of God and of man, refused to disturb our official market for seduced girls and the municipal source , of foul diseases until a new site had been sanctioned and prepared for these desirable interests. Fourth. SEGREGATION is an unbearable pretense, mak ing a few rich and enriching all with corruption. The evil has been found in hotels and assignation houses. More than thirty-three of the houses are scattered. Only eleven are in the segregated district. But seven of these in the district pay their owners $43,074.00 per annum rent. The thirty-three pay their owners only $19,317.60 per annum rent. The advertisement of the city’s approval and protection produces large returns to the favored few. Your share of the reward may be the blighted blood and bones of sons now near ing manhood and the blind eyes of the children of these growing sons, who are being falsely taughl by your actions that it is necessary and right for a man to gratify his ’ lusts, and that he may do so with the approval, protection vnd participation of At lanta in this district. You. through your officials, who are disregarding the law, are enriching the few and smearing yourself and all with this slime of corruption. Filth. OUR MAYOR, when asked to appoint disinterest ed citizens to investigate with a view to suppressing this evil in Atlanta, appoints a mm financially interest ed in a house of ill fame a member of the Vice Com mission. I nquestionably. many of our officials and Mayor Winn have been conscientious. Most probably the mayor did not know of the property interest of the man ap pointed. Possibly the man is not conscious of wrongdoing. This would only better illustrate the persistent and insidious course of the poison. One who has studied this problem in cities says: ' e> Prostitution, protected by a thick hedge of secrecy, imperceptibly renewing itself through changing administrations, is the one fixed point of maladministration. The corruption spreads until the brothel, the saloon and the gambling hall are the trio literally at the base of the administra tion of our cities.” \ You and we, through these officials, who are setting at naught our laws, which they have sworn to enfoi*ce, are helping to maintain publie places for the sale of seduced girls, and for spreading disease and moral and political corruption. Atlanta, when her shame is realized, will not endure it longer. ' The coming dawn of the day of reckoning is even now sending shafts of light above the horizon. In Christ’s name awake!
