Miss Josephine Windle on Spir
ited Steed Takes Hurdles
Which Worry Army Riders.
The vaunted horsemanship of the
South is a myth. If it ever existed, it
has disappeared from the land like the
i custom of giving up’ seats in street
ears. If the cavaliers of the (Jld South,
who rode to the hounds each morning
as regularly as they consumed their
matin toddy, were to return to earth
and view the eqtir irian performances
of their descendants they would be
willing and eager to return to the cold,
cold ground and try to forget.
This is the opinion of Miss Josephine
Windle, of Atlanta, but until a few
months ago of England. She’s but
eighteen years old. but she knows all
about horses and horsewomanship, for
sue was practically born in the saddle.
Miss \\ indie has startled the exports
of the Piedmont Driving club and the
army circle at Fort McPherson with
the daring and grace of her feats of
horsewomanship. It is freely predicted
in these circles that at the horse shows
of the South next year Miss Mary All
good Jones, of Atlanta, will find a dan
gerous rival in this little English miss.
On her favorite mount, a spirited,
willful little mare called "Red Girl,”
she has taken hurdles at Fort McPher
' son at which even the most skillful
and daring of the officer riders look
twice.
And she sees nothing remarkable in
her accomplishment.
"Why, in England, all the girls ride
to hounds." she said. "It is our fa
vorite pastime. Naturally we become
at home in the saddle. I can not tin-*
derstand why so few girls here ride.
It is one of the few sports where wom
en can compete on an equal basis with
the men, and the country is ideal for
cross-country riding."
Continuing with little more than a
suggestion of English accent, Miss
Windle said:
"And the men rule so miserably. 1
have seen the fewest number who can
ride at all. Those who do seem to
take it as a task and not as a pleasure.
No wonder more of them do not take
it up. if all they have to judge from is
tin* men who do have horses."
Miss Windle is preparing to appear
•it several of tin* Southern horse shows
next season, and in the meantime hopes
to stimulate interst in’ horses among
her associates in Atlanta.

STILL IN FOLTON
COUNTY RAIDED
Two Farmers Held for Trial on
Federal Charge—Poverty Is
Their Plea.
Ear from the traditional mountain
fastnesses of the moonshiner, and bare
ly beyond the reflection of the lights of
Atlanta, an illicit still was found and
destroyed by county police today and
George B. Reddington and Roan Red
dington, Eulton county farmers, are
held to answer before a I’nited States
commissioner to 'charges of moonshin
ing.’
The laid was made by county police
headed by Chief Zach Rowan. Roan
Reddington tried to escape, but was
captured after a chase through the
woods. The elder Reddington was
taken as he stirred the mash.
Poverty and an inability to raise a
living crop are the reasons given by the
brothels for their resorting to liquor
making. The older brother has bden ill
for some time and his sickness had
drained the family finances.
The polite were informed, of the ex
istence of the still early in the week,
but waited until fold that the fires had
been lighted and the run was ready to
be made before they went to the place.
The Reddington farm is about six
miles from Atlanta, a short distance off

SAYS HER HUSBAND
GAMBLED WHILE SHE
LAY ILL IN HOSPITAL
The divorce petition filed in superior
court today by Mrs. Annie D. Wilson
against Eugene A. Wilson proved to be
more than a mere declaration of de
sertion and ill treatment.
According to Mrs. Wilson, her hus
band is a gambler, without the tradi
tional virtues of his profession. While
she lay ill in the hospital with typhoid
fever, she alleged, Wilson gambled
away’ the family funds and when her
baby- died he refused to pay the fu
neral expenses.

Uncle Levi Tells How
POSSUM ON
Fall is here, officially.
Autumn's arrival has been suspected
for several days. Shivery folk in sum
mer clothing, chilly hotel corridors
where the steam hasn't been turned on,
the discomfort of a seat next the door
in a trolley ear. these and the oyster
signs in the lunch stands have led to
the suspicion that the coal-burning sea
son is at hand. But a placard hung out
in fiont of an uptown restaurant today
proved it conclusively. It announced:
POSSUM AND TATERS.
That settles it. No self-respecting
possum is ever fat enough to kill until
fall is really here. Connoisseurs insist
that not until the first frost brings the
persimmons to the ground does the
luscious possum take on that flavor
which makes the mouth to water and
the heart to yearn. But these are im
patient days, and the first possums on
TEN RULES BEE
HUSBAND TYRANT
Unusual Nuptial Agreement Is
Introduced as Defense in
Alienation Suit.
SAN FRANCISCO. CAL.. Oct, 18. -Ten
adamant rules of obedience that Louis
Kccleston drafted and made his wife
promise she would observe, before he
would become reconciled to her, were in
troduced at the hearing in Oakland of the
$25,000 damage suit of the woman
against Charles Eccleston, her brother
in-law, for alienating the husband’s af
fection.
Mrs. Eccleston, whose maiden name was
Maude Johnston, induced the minister
who married her to Eccleston, a well-to
do Fresno grocer, to drop the word
"obey” from the marriage ceremony.
When Eccleston learned of the omis
sion. she maintained, he sought the com
pany of a divorced woman. He was
about to marry this woman when they
were reconciled, only to be divorced later.
The decree was granted to Mrs Ec
cleston on the ground of desertion, and
she then began the damage suit against
the brother-in-law, declaring he was re
sponsible for breaking up her home.
The answer of Charles Eccleston to this
is the rules of the husband that he Intro
duced in evidence. Here are the rules:
1. Do as I say in all matters that may
come up.
2. Tell me the truth about everything I
ask.
3. Take me into your confidence and
never let the smallest thing go unsaid.
4. Let the cook go.
5. Let me see all the letters you write
to your sister Olive.
6. Treat me as if I were the stronger
of the two, as you say I am, and con
sider that I am the master of the house.
7S Show me by your action and affection
that you love me.
8. Let's begin to save money.
9. You are not to gel a regular allow
ance, but just what you need each month.
10. Treat iny relatives as If nothing hap
pened, especially my brother Charles.

The governor will review the record

FROM THIS COW
Boy Is Spanked and ‘lmogene’
Gets Iced Towel When the
Mystery Is Explained.
WALNUT CREEK. CAI... Oct. 18.—
"If 1 had a cow that gave such milk.
I’d dress her in the finest silk;
I’d feed her. on the finest hay,
And milk her forty times a day.”
—Ancient Nursery Rhyme.
Manuel Stropha, of this city, hat
such a cow. Her name is Imogene,
She gave two gallons of strong milk
punch instead of the usual quantity of
lacteal fluid.
In the morning Stropha filled the
trough in his stable yard partially full
of water. Then he turned Imogene
loose. She tasted of the water, gave a
loud "moo” of satisfaction, and drained
the trough.
Two hours later Stropha went to milk
Imogene. She was lying on her side,
her eyes rolling wildly and her feet
all tangled.
After trouble, Stropha
managed to get Imogene to her feet.
He propped her up with two fence rails
and milked her. Then he tasted the
milk. Then he dashed to the trough
ft was empty. He turned the water on.
It was just ordinary water.
Considerably puzzled, he went to the
house. His family tasted of the milk.
They were elated, not to say elevated.
Then eight-year-old Roland Stropha
spoke up.
'‘l wonder if the stuff in those nasty
old jugs I poured in the trough made
the milk taste this way?” he mused.
Stropha gasped. Then he ran down
in the cellar. Two gallon jugs of 12-
year-old Bourbon were missing. He
came upstairs, soundly spanked his son,
went out -in the stable yard and tied a
towel full of ice around Imogene’s head.
She needed it.
