ATLANTA GREEK
BALKAN HERD;
SAVED FUG
John Mahos, Waiter, who An
swered Call to Colors, Badly
Wounded in Thrilling Dash.
Members of Atlanta’s Greek colony
Monday told a Georgian reporter sto
ries of remarkable heroism and
thrilling tragedy concerning their fel
lows who returned home to fight in
the Balkan war. They are stories of
individual acts and experience not re
lated in the press dispatches.
Nick Mahos, one of the proprietors
of the Manhattan Cafe, on Marietta
street, has a brother lying in a hos
pital in Tepelene, suffering from three
bullet wounds.
He is John Mahos, and had many
acquaintances in Atlanta a few
months ago when he was serv ing ham
and eggs and club sandwiches in the
cafe. In the Greek army he was
given the rank of sergeant soon after
enlisting He was stationed at Tepe-
lcr>e, near the Albanian border, when
his first opportunity came. In a let
ter to his brother here he tells of it.
Rescues Country’s Flag.
The Albanians in a small village
took possession of the military head
quarters and replaced the Greek flag
with the colors of Albania. Mahos’
commander ordered him with a de
tachment to rescue the flag.
He obeyed like a soldier and re
raised the flag. But half his men
were killed and he was wounded
three times.
George Phelis, at one time one of
the proprietors of the Manhattan
Cafe, has been active in the Balkan
service and has written some thrill
ing accounts of inside conflicts. He
was in Salonika when King George
Was assassinated and was well ac
quainted with the soldier that cap
tured the assassin.
How Brave Brothers Fell.
Phelis lias narrated the experiences
of two Marcos brothers which throbs
with the action of the old Greek
classics.
The oldest boy. Leonidas, was sent
to his father, and an uncle who had
prospered in America took the young
er, Aristos*.
Aristos forgot his Greek and be
came a fully educated American citi
zen. Leonidas heard but little of his
brother, but grew to be a loyal sub
ject of King George.
It was a strange fate that brought
them together in the Balkan war.
Two volunteers had been asked for
to deliver a message through the
Turkish line to a general 25 miles
away.
"Leonidas Marcos,” answered a
young man who held up his band.
Aristos, hearing the name, said he,
too, would go. Aristos could speak
but little Greek and Leonidas could
say less English. But they discovered
they were brothers.
Because of the importance of the
journey they were made to swear to
do their duty. Leonidas swore by the
flag of Greece. Aristos swore by the
Stars and Stripes. Each was given
a flag of his country.
They went. But when they re
turned they falteringly told that the
general could not be found.
Killed by the Turks.
Angry, their commander threatened
to shoot them as cowards. But they
plead that they had been true to their
trust and finally were sent the sec
ond time to deliver the message.
•Their mutilated bodies were found
a few days later by the general they
were trying to reach. They had been
captured by the Turks. Their hands
and feet had been cut off.
The general whom they had sought
explained to the commander of the
brave young men that he had changed
his position about twenty miles and
was beyond reach.
Leonidas and Aristos were given a
burial with every ceremony. Phelis
writes that their heroism is as great
as any of the war.

Business?
Apologizes in Papers
For Posting His Wife
NEW LONDON, July 21.—Jonathan
L. Beckwith, a prosperous young
contractor of Niantic, surprised his
fellow-townsmen last week when he
inserted a notice in New London pa
pers forbidding anyone to harbor or
trust his wife. While the notice was
being printed, Mrs. Beckwith trans
ferred a vanload of furniture to her
father’s house.
To-day the New London papers had
the following announcement:
"I acknowledge being a little hasty
in posting my wife, as I find no rea
son for same.—Jno. L. Beckwith,
Niantic, Conn.”
Cardinal Gibbons, 79,
Says Life Is Ebbing
BALTIMORE. July 21.—“On Wed
nesday I shall be seventy-nine years
old,” said Cardinal Gibbons, as he wit
in his study to-day. And then he
added, in a gentle voice: “I do not
think I will live much longer. My
life is* nearly spent.
“I will soon be an octogenarian,”
said the Cardinal, smilingly, “and na
ture must take its course. Almighty
God has blessed me with a long life,
and I am ready to answer whenever
he sees fit to call me to render an ac
count of my stewardship.”
No Key to Woman's
Mind, Says Alienist
WASHINGTON, July 21.—Dr. B. R.
Logie, Government alienist for the
District of Columbia, came-right out
in a courtroom and said:
"All the ordinary tests fail. No
one on earth has ever been able to
solve the psychology of the feminine
mind.”
Dr. Logie was*a witness in the
legal battle between Mrs. Emma Prall
Knorr and Mrs. Elizabeth C. Prali,
sisters-in-law, who have been in con
troversy for ten years over a large
estate.
IliTF OFFER IS
TO BE IDE
Pony Contestants Took Advantage
of Club Bonus—Nine Days
of Race Remain.
Within a few days fifteen more
ponies will arrive for the boys and
girls in The Georgian and American
contest. This means but one thing—
the end of the contest draws near.
Another epoch in the competition
ended Saturday night, when the bo
nus offer for clubs of $35, $25 and $15
closed. Almost every contestant took
advantage of this generous allowance
of extra votes and managed to get at
least one club.
Another bonus offer will be an
nounced at once, but those, if any,
whu have been "holding back" with
the idea that the final bonus offer
would be as much help to them as
those preceding will be disappointed,
for the reason that it would be unfair
to give the tardy workers an even
chance with those who "got busy”
earlier in the game.
Monday over, but nine days re
main in the contest—nine working
days—a week and a half These con
cluding days must be filled w’ith en
deavor by every contestant, for there
is not one in the lot who is a sure
winner—that much is certain.
No boy or girl can count with as
surance on a pony. It is anyone’s
race as yet. Which is just as it
should be from all points of view ex
cept the lazy boy’s.
Wants Divorce From
‘Silver-Spoon’ Wife
PITTSBURG, July 21.—Declaring
that his wife had been born with a j
silver spoon in her mouth, and that j
he had ’grown tired trying to keep j
it there,” F. W. .Lego, a prominent j
merchant here, brought suit to-day!
for an absolute divorce against Mary !
Wendel Lego.
Trip for Columbus’
Bones Is Suggested
WASHINGTON, July 2i.—Assistant j
Seorctai-y of State Osborne, as the i
result of his visit to the Dominican
Republic and Hayti, suggests that ;
the bone.s of Christopher Columbus
which are at Santo Domingo City, be
placed aboard the first ship to go j
through the Panama Canal.
UNFAIR TO
THE DRUGGIST
The Old Joke About “Some
thing Just as Good,’’
Doesn’t Apply to
This Drug Store.
You have probably heard dozens
of times the old story that a drug
store was a place to "get some
thing just as good.” There at
least one druggist in the world
that you can’t say this about.
It is certain that an inferior ar
ticle will never be substituted for
a guaranteed one by any dealer.
Take for instance a safe, reliable
remedy for constipation and liver
trouble like Dodson’s Liver Tone.
This harmless vegetable liquid has
proved so satisfactory a liver stim
ulant and reliever of biliousness,
and to entirely take the place of
calomel without any danger or re
striction of habits ‘or diet, that
there are dozens of preparations
springing up with imitations of
its claims.
But Dodson’s Liver Tone ie
guaranteed to do all that is claimed
for it, and if you are not satisfied
with it your druggist will hand
your money back with a smile.
Any person going to a drug store
for a bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone
will be sure of getting a large bot
tle of this genuine remedy in ex
change for his half dollar.
