growled and spat as the children gazed
on his majestic magnificence. Rajah,
the tiger, paced his cage more restless
ly than ever. He uttered no sound.
He was silently, moiosel.v marl. The
hyenas laughed as they considered the
condition, but their laugh wasn't mer
ry. It was sardonic.
For the monkey folks, the only kind
of beast in the park except the timid
gazelles, that even the most timid lit
tle humans viewed without fear mak
ing their hearts go pit-a-pat. were up
in arms and had assembled in war
council.
Around old Billy, dean of the monkey
cage, the simians had gathered. They
listened to his words of wisdom and
they chattered bellicose but hearty ap
proval.
Plenty to Protest.
I "My- children.'' said Billy, and there
i was deep emotion in his voice even
las he spoke in the monkey tongue—

of Atlanta, and now we are told that
there are others that are to be brought I
in to share our honor of pleasing them,
to take from us the peanut largess that
has been ours, and outs alone, since
Atlanta first provided this zoo.
But that is not all. They not only
intgnd to have these aliens share our
honors and awards, but they would
change our names.
"Our names were sacredly given us
by the only ones that love us—the
children. They were given us in
adoration and in gratitude for our
services in climbing poles and sneak
ing goobers.
"How would 1 feel being named Dan
t'arey, or Walter Taylor, or bearing th
entitlements of Chief Beavers'.’ It is
beyond the question. We must rise
We must refuse to perform if these
outlanders a'rv introduced."
A wild chorus of assent greeted him
His words had their effect.
Welcomed by '‘lnsurgents."
But only on the older monkeys, the
standpatters of the colony. From the
younger ones, the progressives, there
came an indignant chatter of protest.
The immigration spirit ran high with
them. They were for new faces, new
antics and new ideals. They were not
averse to new names.
Nervo, the bull moose of the cage,
even suggested that Billy’s rule was ■
molly eoddlish and the more new things
there were in their lives the better off
they would be.
So the debate ran. until the approach
of a voting woman, bearing peanuts in
her hand, broke up the debate for more
material considerations.
Movement Goes Forward.

RECORDER BEGINS
FIGHT TO BREAK UP
PERJURY PRACTICE
"The way people swear lies in this
court is getting to be something awful.
When we put some of these willful per
jurers in the penitentiary, maybe we
can induce witnesses to tell the truth."
remarked Recorder Broyles today as he
held for perjury Frank Watkins, a ne
gro living at 48 Hunt street, whose tes
timony had cleared a negro woman,
Bessie Holland, of the charge of sell
ing liquor. Watkins was remanded to
the Tower in default of SSOO bond.
The w oman had been arrested by pi- . 1
licemen H. Brannan and L. O. As
kew on information furnished by Wat
kins. He completely changed his story
in court, and the other evidence con
vinced the recorder the witness had
sworn deliberate falsehoods
"Yin have saved this woman from
I being punished, but in doing so you
have landed yourself in a hogshead of
trouble." said the court to Watkins.
