while 1 was in his town the other

One of the inmates of the jail
accosted the sheriff not long ago with
the statement that lie had found a I*
$10 bill in the prison yard. i
"Why didn’t you keep the money?" 1
asked the Sheriff.
"I didn’t want to take what didn't
belong to me,” came the ready re
sponse.
"What are you in here for?" then
asked "Honest John.”
“Larceny,” answered the prisoner.
“BUT I DID NOT PLEAD GUILTY.”

Bagwell Business College, in Atlanta,
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. NY.

Miss Eckert, incidentally, demon
strated the fact that a woman—one
woman, anyway—can kep a secret, if
she makes up her mind, even though
it is a secret so sweetly delicious as
her own wedding day and the name
of the lucky man.
Several weeks,ago, when the rumor
first went abroad that she was con
templating matrimony, wily friends
and associates undertook to get from
her the name of her intended and the
wedding date

Miss Eckert did not deny
impeachment within the rumor, but
"some time before the summer is
over, perhaps.” was all she would

She had heard, for one thing, that

who came a-wooing Miss Daisy with
intent to take her away from the

oh, well, the groom, too—long lift

NKYY YORK. April 29. A cry of a
lonely girl for a mother, a father and
a home came to-day from Miss Ra
mona Borden. 17-year-old runaway-
daughter of (Jail Borden, who
plained for the first time why she left
a sanitarium near Pompton Lake, X.
J.. a week ago, giving the impression
that she had been kidnaped.
’ For four years 1 have lived in 1m-
tcls.” said Miss Borden, "with a san
itarium in between. I wanted my
home, my mother, my father, the open
air and dogs and horses as other girls
ha ve.
I am going back to Los Angeles
with my mother, and T feel that 1
shall be happier, although I would be
far happier If my father and mother
were together."
Although not divorced, Mr. and
Mrs. Borden have not lived together
for three years. Mrs. Borden’s suit
failed.
"I did not run away because I was
in love,” cried Miss Borden. ‘‘There
is no man iri my ufe. although T ho\*
to be married some day."
Miss Borden exonerated Mrs. Helen
White, wife of a Cleveland million
aire. from the "kidnaping" charge
Hh*» said she wrote t<> her mother io
take her from the sanitarium where
she had been placed by her father,
but became impatient and wrote t »
Mrs. White to help her. She did not
give the appearance of being ill.
"This is the second time I have run
away, and T hope it will be the last."
concluded the young heiress with
laugh.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PEKIN. (’HINA, April 29.—Tne
signing of the quintuple loan for
$125,000,000 lias caused a grave po
litical crisis. The Kuo Min Tang (or
Democratic party) demands the can
cellation of t^ie contract, -contending
that it contravenes China's sovereign
rights in giving foreigners power to
supervise the nation’s finances. It
also objects because the matter was
not referred to the present assembly
for approval.
The Government contends that this
was not necessary, as the loan agree
ment is practically the same as that
approved by the provisional govern
ment assembly December 30 last. |
('hang (’hf! president of the assem
bly, has telegraphed to all the pro
vincial assemblies urging them not
to sanction the loan.
