Guard Well Your Coop of Christmas Chickens
PESKY POPE'S AT LARGE!
■ J
"K'a'p a padlock on your chicken
house and lie the dog inside it. Tie-
Atlanta negp> is going to have his
I'hristmas chicken, even if he has to
buy it. but buying is his last resort."
That's the advice the county police
are giving suburban residents as Christ
mas approaches. Even as watermelon
on the Fourth, of July or as fried fish
in the springtime is the smell of chick
en gravy at Christmas to the colored
contingent. Chicken fanciers who have
lost whole coops of prize-winning birds
in other pre-holiday seasons are sit
ting up with shotguns between their
knees.
For several years there has nourished
in Atlanta and its environs a eilicken
fancier known to sheriff and police as
Pesky Pope. Pesky is a chicken con
noisseur. He can tell a Hun' Orpington
cockerel from a barred Wyandotte the
minute he tightens his grip around their
legs, and he can shut both eyes and
distinguish between a Brahma and an
Indian Game the instant he sinks his
teeth in the drumstick.
Some Chicken Eater!
Pesky is accustomed to chicken three
times a day in the intervals when lie is
not sojourning in the stockade, and is
known far and wide as a more danger
ous pest than the roup, pip and all
other chicken epidemics combined.
Dating lite last chicken show at the
Auditorium. Pesky coaxed a ticket from
some one and roamed up and down tile
aisles like a cat outside a canary cage,
his mouth watering for prize chicken.
"That languid colored gentleman,
there by the bantam coop, holds the
distini tion of having oaten the highest
priced meal ever served in Atlanta.”
said one of the show directors, point
ing out Pesky to a. group of visitors.
"New York’s lobster palaces are pikers
beside him.
Pesky’s $950 Breakfast.
"It was just after the first chicken
show given in Atlanta. All the prize
birds hail been loaded into wagons,
ready for the express office, when that
negro happened along and took a look.
He climbed .aboard a wagon, persuaded
the driver to have a ’nigh-beer' or two
with him, and finally drove the load of

chickens into Darktown, chose about a
dozen tine young fowls and disappeared.
"Next tmorning the police found
chicken feathers outside his door and
tile remnants of a chicken breakfast
on his table. Pesky and ids friends
had devoured $9.50 worth of chicken, ac
cording to prices offered and refused by
the owners. How's timt for one break
fast ?
"<'ome over here, Pesky.” he called.'
The dusty fancier approached, grin-j
ning.
The Way To Raise Chickens.
"Pesky, they tell me you are the best
chick* n raiser in Atlanta,” said the di
rector. "Tell us how you do it.”
"Well, sub,’’ explained Pesky, "De
bes’ way to raise chickens is to get a
nice wide plank and a tallow candle.
When de nights are chilly de chickens’
feet gits cold on de roostses. You
slip under de roost and light de candle
and warm de end of the plank. Den
you slip de plank up in front ob de
chicken and touch him on de toes and
he’ll step off on it, glad to git his feet
warm. Den you let him down easy and
put Idm in de sack. Dat’s de bes' way.”
A look over the police records shows
that Pesky Pope is now at liberty.
Warning is therefore issued to all
chicken owners to buy a bulldog or
take their chickens inside the house.

PLANS FOR SIOO,OOO
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
CHURCH COMPLETE
Plans are complete for the new Chris
tian Science church to be erected at
the northeast corm r of Peachtree and
Peachtree circle, and the congregation
will ask at once for contractors’ bids.
The church will cost something near
SIOO,OOO and it is expected that work on
it will be started not late: than early
spring.
The lot is fan-shaped and fronts on
both P. ai bt. and Peachtree circle. It
' was bought several years tigo for $16.-
j 000, and the church lias refused various
I offers up to $30.000. The lot is held to
'be worth $.50,000 or $60,000. The church
will be built after the fashion of the
Baker Street church, now headquarters
of the Atlanta Women's club. with
colonial pillars and a dome. Its seating
capacity will be nearly 1,000. Edward
E. Dougherty Is the architect.
Local Christian Scientists started
their meetings in halls and later had
rooms in the Grand building, then the
Bake Street church, and still later
leased the present quarters on North
Broad street, near Peachtree.
We wish to call your attention to the
fact that most infectious diseases, such
as whooping cough, diphtheria and
scarlet fever, are contracted when the
child lias a cold. Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy will quickly cure a cold and
greatly lessen the danger of contract
ing these diseases. This remedy is
famous for its cures of colds. It con
tains no opium or other narcotic and
may be given to a child with implicit
confidence. Sold by all dealers. (Advt.)

FRANK WYNNE ’ NEW
SECRETARY OF BEES:
SUCCEEDS 8.8. OWEN.
Frank Wynne, one of the most popu
lar young men in Atlanta, has been
elected secretary of the Order of Bees
by the board of governors, succeeding
B. B. Owen.
The position held by Mr. Owen was
that of secretary and manager. The
two offices were separated, Mr. Wynne
being elected secretary and Theodore
Fichter manager.
This change in officers of the Order
of Bees is a very acceptable one to the
750 members of the order, as both Mr.
Wynne and Mr. Fichter are very popu
lar with the membership. (Advt.)
ANDREW CARNEGIE

The buttons of the association are of
heavy gold and are emblematic of

At the meeting Friday the resigna
tion of W. S. Richardson as secretary
was received and W. A. Sommerville
was chosen to fill the vacancy.
Advice to Those Who
Have Lun? Trouble
Tuberculosis is said to be curable by
simply- living in the open air and taking
an abundance of fresh eggs and milk.
Do all you possibly can to add to
strength and increase weight; eat whole
some, nourishing food, and breathe the
cleanest and purest air. and then, if
health and strength do not retnrn, add |
the tonic and beneficial effects of Eck- I
man’s Alterative. Read what It did in i
this case:
405 East Fifth St., Wilmington, Del.
"Gentlemen: In January. 1908. I was I
taken with hemorrhages of the lungs. My
physician, one of the leading practition
ers. said that it was lung trouble. I took
eggs and milk in quantities, but I got
very weak. The doctors said I would not
gain in weight as long as 1 stayed in
the store; but I kept on working and
prayed each day that I might get well.
I believe my prayers were answered, for
Mr. A Lippincott, my employer (Lip
pincott & Co., department store, 306 to
314 Market street, Wilmington, Del.) had
learned of a remedy called Eckman's Al
terative that had done great gqod, and
upon his recommendation I began taking
it at once. This was about June, 1908.
I continued faithfully, using no other rem
edy. and finally noticed the clearing of
the lungs. 1 firmly believe Eckman's Al
terative saved my life. I sent my spittle
later to the state board of health to be
examined for tuberculosis bacilli, and
none were found. My mother died from
consumption when I was about two years
old.
"I make this statement so that others
may learn of the wonderful merits of
Eckman’s Alterative. I regard my re
covery- as being miraculous.”
(Sworn affidavit) JAS. SQUIRES.
Eckman's Alterative is effective In bron
chitis, asthma, hay fever, throat and lung
troubles and in upbuilding the system.
Does not contain poisons, opiates or hab
it-forming drugs. For sale by- all of
Jacobs’ drug stores and other leading
druggists. Ask for booklet telling of re
coveries and write to Eckman Laboratory,
Philadelphia, Pa., for additional evidence.
