Drinks Poison When Over
whelmed by Husband's Ill
ness and Own Position.
PHILAIELPHIA, Sept. 18.—" Hello
__h< ; r >; 1* this central? I am—l am
dving. S’nd —some one—soon."
Tips startling message coming over
.... teleplone wire from the home of
t Rev. H. C. Stone, pastor of the
jp mortal Chapel of Holy Trinity, sent
a , ambulance surgeon at top speed to
ih ( ’ clergyman's dwelling. He found
Mrs Store dead in her room. She had
taken poson.
To maty members of her husband's
r hu h the news carried the sting of
terrible reproach. For, according to
her own friends, the wman who killed
herself tad been brought to despera
tlni- by he fact that some of the wom
en of the parish had snubbed her.
There was not the slightest personal
feeling igainst Mrs. Stone. The trou
ble grev out of an embarrassing posi
tion ino which she was innocently
forced. ’
Dr Stone was recently installed as
head o' the chapel. He took the place
of the Rev. R. Marshall Harrison, a
clergyman who was idolized by the
parishimere, but who had come Into
confiic. -with the rector of the parent
church Dr. Floyd W. Tompkins, and
had b<en forced to resign.
Mos of the people of the chapel par.
iah roused to sanction the removal of
the ptstor. They could not prevent it.
Thus -hey chose to refuse to recognize
Dr. Sone.
The latter was so overcome by the
attitule of the congregation that he be
cametnentally ill and is now in a san
itarian. His wife, young, charming
and devoted to religious work, was
overwhelmed by the double difficulty of
her bisband’s illness and her own un
happ; position.

Up and Down Peachtree
Never Enter Your
Home By the Window,
Walter Taylor, the city clerk, told
an interesting story today of a hap
pening during his newspaper life.
He was standing at the Aragon hotel
corner one night talking to a policeman.
An excited man rushed up to them.
"Burglars are breaking into the Car
rollton apartment on Carnegie way,” he
cried. “Come quick."
Mr, Taylor and the policeman both
had pistols and hurried to the scene.
The man pointed out an open win
dow. The policeman went in first and
Walter Taylor followed. As they en
tered the dark room they could hear
heavy breathing. The policeman struck
a match.
"Hold up your hands.” Mr. Taylor
and the policeman shouted in unison
as they covered two young men.
"Shoot 'em! Shoot em!” cried the ex
cited stranger who had stayed on the
outside.
“We are not going to shoot,” said Mr.
Taylor, quietly.
“Reassured that he was not going to
be shot, one of the young men wailed
from the depths of his lungs:
“U-n-c-l-e B-i-l-l-y!”
Uncle Billy came charging in from
an adjoining room clad in a night shirt.
“Throw up your hands!” commanded
Walter Taylor as he covered Uncle
Billy. And Uncle Billy obeyed.
He had recovered his composure in
a few minutes, however, and then he
began to rage. But he still held his
hands above his head.
“What does this outrage mean?” he
demanded. ,
Explanations revealed that the two
young men supposed to be burglars
were country nephews of Uncle Billy.
They had been out seeing the city and
had imbibed a little too much near
beer; so thev entered the house by a

WOULDN’T BE PESTERED
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 18.—Charles J.
Cannon and Mrs. Lulu May Howard
had not thought of being married when
they went to Belleville. The purpose
of their visit was to attend the St.
Clair County fair, and to visit Fred
VonKeuren and his wife. But Mrs.
N'eliie Hare and Adolph H. Tegen. who
accompanied them, pestered and dared
them into having the ceremony per
formed.
That was tlie story Cannon and his
bride told to Justice Underwood after
he had married them. They said they
had been engaged, but had not planned
to be married until late in the fall.

They were afraid that they might be
taken for burglars, so one of them
watched while the other entered the
window. The stranger who had noti
fied the police had become alarmed by
their actions.
This One Would Have
Been Soft for Sherlocko.
Atlanta has one great bugaboo, ac
cording to the police. It is a simple,
old-time, i>orch-cliinbing burglary. And it
has not taken a Sherlock Holmes to prove
that all is not burglary that seems to be.
One recent case is a very striking il
lustration.
Remson King, a well known young law
yer. was out calling the othei» night. As
the hour grew late members of the party
began to tell spooky stories.
“This is not much fun for me,” joked
Mr. King, as he started home. “My
folks are all away and I am staying in
the house alone.”
The next day he told a story of an
unpleasant coincidence. When he en
tered his home on Peachtree street he
was surprised to find that the lights
were on upstairs He was certain he
heard a noise like some one walking
Then the lights went out.
Convinced that there was a burglar in
the house, he rushed across the street to
telephone the police, for he was unarmed.
Two policemen came flying on ifiotor
cycles. More surprising than ever, the
lights were on when the officers and Mr.
King entered the house. But there was
no burglar to be found. An investiga
tion revealed an.open window in the sun
parlor and one of the rooms upstairs was
somewhat disarranged.
The neighbor who heard the story
next day solved the mystery. He said
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany was to blame for it all. They al
lowed the lights to go out on one cir
cuit for about ten minutes that night. He
said it was easy to find an open window’
and a disarranged room in any Peachtree
home on any night.
WAR ON $100,000,000 TICK
IS WAGED BY GOVERNMENT
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. -Govern
ment experts are gradually pressing the
Texas fever ticks into smaller confines
to the south Department of agricul
ture officials believe that with the con
tinued co-operation of the Federal and
state authorities, the pest which now
causes an annual loss estimated at
$40,000,000 to $100,000,000, will eventual
ly be eradicated.
The magnitude of the task is appar
ent from the fact that the mother tick's
brood of one season may be 500 ticks,
each of which is a menace to cattle.

DANCES “EM
TROT” FOR JURY
Farmers Acquit Girl Charged
I
by Angry Judge With Disor
derly Conduct.
NEW YORK, Sept. 18. Miss Grace
Williams. IS, nd nrctiy. of New Castle,
| Westchester county, can sing "Every
body's Doin' It," and dance the “Turkey
Trot" without being disorderly, a jury de
cided in a test case in Millwood.
Justice Bradley charged the girl with
disorderly conduct because she sang and
danced in front of his home. Attorney
Stuart Baker, of Ossining, won an ac
quittal by singing the objectionable song
himself and letting Miss Williams dance
the "trot" for the jury's benefit.
Justice Bradley's complaint was the
culmination of a neighbor’s quarrel.
When Miss Williams went out in front of
the judge's house and began dancing and
singing her own accompaniment, the
judge thrust his head out of the window,
and, after denouncing the girl’s conduct,
ordered her away. She refused, and Jus
tice Bradley went before Justice Chad
tsayne and swore out a warrant.
Miss Williams, when arraigned, pleaded
not guilty and demanded a jury trial. A
jury of six farmers was sworn. The fair
defendant denied she had danced or
sang to annoy or shock Justice Bradley.
Attorney Baker asked the court's per
mission to sing the song, and to let Miss
Williams dance. The prosecution ob
jected. but Justice Chadsayne said ba
would like to see bow it was done himself.
The jury quickly returned a verdict of
not guilty, and Justice Bradley left In a
rage.
