Don’t!” implored Magist'ate O'Connor, with breathless haste. “Don't undress!" "How inti I show you the new dress isn't a fit if I don’t undress to put it on'.’" retorted the “Coffee Lady” Indig nantly. and hook after hook snapped undone under Imi busy fingers. “Bui madame! ’ shouted the judge, you must not!

ATLANTA GREEKS OFF TO WAR IN ANSWER TO CALL OF SOVEREIGN Answering the call of King George of Greece. 75 Atlanta Greeks are leaving from the Terminal station this after noon in a special car for New York, where they will sail on the Greek liner Macedonia for their native land, to fight against the Turk. Their objective point is Athens. The band of Greeks was gathered from the local colony of 800 or 900 per -ons. and their departure leaves va cancies in dozens of restaurants and at las man? fruit stands. They are mem bers of the Pan-Hellenic union, which supplies the king with a fighting force from this country. Andrew Berry and other companions left Atlanta several days ago, and will arrive in the. old country ahead of the larger force. Those who remain behind are subject to summons before a court, which lifts the power to send them to the penitentiary for 20 years, but as long as they stay in America they are not molested. HUMANE SOCIETY IS URGED TO SAVE CHILD FROM LIFE IN MILLS INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Oct. 14.—The thirty-sixth annual meeting of the American Humane association opened here today. Many delegates represent - I ing anti-cruelty associations and socie ties from all parts of the United States are in attendance at this convention. These meetings will last for three days and will be devoted first to the consideration of work for children and the second half of the sessions will be devoted to the consideration of animals Many important addresses pertaining to the treatment of children and look ing to the elimination of child labor have been prepared by eminent men and women, who have devoted their lives to this humane cause; in fact, everything pertaining to children and every kind and condition of childhood will be ably discussed "Save the child is the ruling spirit of the day," said President Stillman at the opening of the congress. "This no ble work should engage the attention of every good man and woman in the country, and I venture to believe that within a few years such things as littk children working in factories will not be heard of.” SCHOOL GRADUATES CALLED SAUSAGE CHICAGO, Oct. 14—American high school graduates were likened to edu cated frankfurter sausages by Dr. C.

NEVIN. I Those who attended the Fite con j tempt hearing before the court of ap- I peals Saturday had whatever quality of satisfaction there may have been in jajok, r> >revTH witnessing the ' second judicial proceeding of the kind ever insti tuted in the his- I tory either of American or Eng. lish jurisprudence, for only once be fore in American —and never in English legal history has a judge of a trial court been haled before a court of review for con tempt. Never again in Georgia, perhaps. will any person living today have another opportunity to attend such a hearing. It is the hope of the bar. no less than the lay men. of course, that never again will such a proceeding be necessary; but. whether it were tiie hope or not, it likely is true that the Fite case will stand forever, isolated and alone, as Georgia s one contribution to the spe cific contempt record in question. There was one feature of the hear ing. however melancholy its general aspect may have been, that all Georgia would have profiled in having imme diate knowledge of. and that feature was the wonderful speech delivered, for the court, by Judge Samuel B. Adams, of Savannah. Fortunately, it will be an available part of the record, for it was taken down by a court reporter, and will be transcribed into ordinarily readable shape eventually. ■ This speech was a gem of repressed and dignified oratory—it will become a classic. It Is not an easy matter to express an opinion, even in favorable criti cism. upon a public utterance such as Judge Adams' was. It was so lofty in tone, so chaste in language, so devoid of harshness or violence, ’a nd yet so tremendously impressive, that the In clination is to discuss it with a meas ure of reserve, that one may not seem to be in any wise fulsome or touched eve’- so remotely with a mere desire to praise Judge Adams' speech was one that must have made very person who heard it a better citizen, and a patriot more sure of himself than ever before. It decried the cheaper and meaner ■ things of life—-it exalted tile virtues of simple faith and the sweeter and no bler sentiments. It expressed the sincere afid abiding love ot a. lawyer, without fear and without reproach, for the orderly and earnest preservation of the peace through the law honestly administered, and freed of passion, prejudice and ap peal to the mob. In specific terms it reproached the respondent in the case at bar not at all; but it scathingly protested the ut terance that called forth the contempt proceedings, and it deprecated the ten dency of such things. Judge Adams' speech should bo read by every Georgian. Nothing finer has been said in all the history of the courts of the state—nothing more nearly certain in its good and uplifting effect. If nothing more had come of the Fite hearing than Judge Adams’ mag nificent address, the. proceeding would have been well worth while. Three Georgia congressmen came to DR.

State Game and Fish Commissioner Jesse Mercer has been telling his asso ciates around and about the state cap- Itol of a fish pond he has discovered in south Georgia which quite puts it over all other sish 1 ponds known to disci ples of the reel and rod in this state. in performing his duties as guar dian of trie piscatorial interests of Georgia. Commissioner Mercer has to visit all sorts of out-of-the-way places ami sections, and makes the acquaint ances. in consequence, of all sorts of persons and things. Naturally, there fore. he meets many worthy and well qualified Georgians who rarely get to the big cities, and who are more or less unmindful of the big cities' neces sities and desires. In one of these rounds. Colonel Mer cer ran across the big fish pond of which he lately has been talking, and what he says of it is enough to awaken and arouse a rampant desire in the heart of the most blase sportsman to be up and doing. "This pond.” says Mercer, “contains not less than B,l*oo acres and is in the southwest corner of Berrhen county, bordering on the Okefenokee swamp region. "It literally swarms with fish the most beautiful and gamey imaginable, too! From it may be taken, by the millions, speckly bream, weighing from ofie to three pounds; trout, running up to twelve pounds, and blue bream, weighing from one-half to one pound. "Moreover, there is not one Gorman carp in the en'ire pond, and to the complete absence of that pira'e and most undesirable citizen in all flsndom may be as ribcd the great size of the noble fish family running free in this pond. "This pond is a pond, mind you, and not a lake. It was built originally for a mill pond. It is now in the custody of B. T. Berryhill, of Milltown, and Is visited infrequently by fishermen.
