THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. BOY DF1D CRIES JUST LIKE A WOMAN Pathetic Case Emphasizes Neces sity of Atlanta Opening Purse for Books and Clothes. That green hat can wait another week. If necessary, you can miss the show this time. There will be plenty of great thin*?* at the theater later on. And remember, there is no more baseball. So, after all. it begins to look as if the 250 children who are asking Atlanta for money to buy books and a few clothe* will be given theif chance, after all, to go to school. There does not appear to be so very many demands on Atlanta's pocket- book just now. The children are very clamorous to-day, because they are getting anx ious. School opens Monday, and It begins to look to some of the poor kiddies as if Atlanta Is going to for get them. Little Willie Watson’s mouth, droops at times, and trembles a little, because he does not know that big, generous Atlanta is going to respond in time to give him the school days that belong to him along with your children, and yours. Atlanta Can't Forget. But Atlanta is not going to forget. Atlanta can't forget. Atlanta is face to face with the fact, each hour of the day, that here Is the greatest demand on its humanity that ever was made. And. In time, Atlanta- meaning. of course, the men and wo men of Atlanta, individually—is go ing to give them their chance. Ten-year-old Willie Watson and the other 250 don’t know this, how ever. The time for school is very • lose, and there is no more money in the scanty family treasury than there was a week ago. It was then that, with visions of the pleasant school room and the gay, screaming play at recess, and the Joy of learning to •pell and to add and to read, with nil this in his little head, Willie peeked Into the big trunk where mother always puts her money. There was only the nickel that she had left with him to pay the ice man. None for the book*, none for the new pair of shoes that he certainly must have. And he crept away to cry. Wants To Be Better Than Father. Because, although the little boy is only 10 years old, and too tiny even for his years to work, he know s what staying at home means. He knows that after a year or tWo he will be big enough to go out and find work of some sort, and to make a little money that will help mother and sis ter. And he knows that the world has •light opportunity for a little boy who know^s nothing, and even less opportunity for a bigger boy or a map who knows nothing. Willie wants no much to do something more than his father did before him, and he knows that he muat learn things. Father could do nothing more than read and write a little. Perhaps that waa why he became discouraged at timma. and drank and stayed away from home more and more until one Jhne he stayed away altogether. Wil lie knows, down in his 10-year-old heart, that it was all because father didn’t know' anything, and never had a chance. He dimly remembers his father saying that very thing, not long befbre he went away for good. And now’ mother and sister must xvork in the factory. That is another circumatance that Willie would rem edy, and he knows that the only way for him to get them out of the life of toil, and bring them back home, where they belong, is to learn things, and to make of himself something more than father was. Shuns Bad Boys’ Trioka. But there doesn’t seem much • hance. That is why Willie, with all his rnafily dreams, just couldn’t help crying a little at the sight of the empty trunk And he knew’, also, that staying at /JUST ilwnffT t want! fa I 1 W**rr TO Buy some nick Sort*. yf jm V V' 'OH','.

It may also be stated that the Crackers will use some small endeav or to trim the Pepper Kids to-day, and it may even be assumed that the Finns will exert themselves mildly in combatting the Pelicans to-day and to-morrow. Also we draw the Big Pole. Cove leskie pitched five innings yesterday, but that doesn't moke much differ ence to hfm. It may make some dif ference to u». however. And there will be another record crowd at Ponce DeLeon, If only .Tups Pluvius holds off. By the way, what has become of that attendance war we had on with Birmingham? It Is to be hoped some Birmingham fans were shoe-horned Into the ball park here yesterday.

Coveleskie, p home all day he Anally would drift out with the bigger boys down the street and learn things from them of which he now has only a faint, shud dering knowledge He does not want to know those things. No little boy whose mother Is good to him wants him to know those things. He only learns them shamefacedly because the companions to whom he drifts in Ills loneliness tell him all about then-., with guilty giggles. Willie feels that he should not know them, and there fore does not want to learn. But h< knows that, kept away from school and the wholesome companionships cf school, he must go out the front gate rame day, and Join the bigger boys on the corner. Willie's prayers, like those of most of the other 250 children, have a merl cenary trend nowadays, It Is true He prays for money that he tnay buy the things necessary for his school attendance. Send Money and Clothes It Is this money that you are a eked to give. Send It to The Geor gian und Sunday American, and It will get to the proper channel of dis tribution. the Associated Charities. Or send it to the Associated Char ities office, in the Gould Building. And not only money. Perhaps you have clothes at home that might (It some of the 250 children.

Certainly thev have not the clothes to go to sohoo'. and mingle with the children of the mere prosperous, mure fortunate peo ple. like you.

HURT; PARKS Chairman Cochran Comes to the Governor Asserts Colorado and Rescue of Lovelorn Following Other Western Places Have Capitol Steps Episodes. Here’s hope for Atlanta’s legions of lovelorn Driven from the steps of the State Capitol and even arrested by minions of the law, who must have been whol ly devoid of sentiment, spooners had come to the disheartening conclusion that that little line about all the world loving a lover was piffle. But comes one as their champion. He is John O. Cochran, chairman of the City Park Board. Just as it ap pears that the smitten youths and maids must seek the depressing fast nesses of the family parlor, or the front porch, where they are the ob served of all observers, Mr. Cochran rushes forward and tells them that they may spoon in the city’s parks to their hearts’ content, and that if any surly, misanthropic policeman inter rupts them he will know the reason why. Mr. Cochran’s pronunciamento was spread abroad Friday night just after a young woman, blushing with mortification, and her companion, sullen at the humiliation that was theirs, had been haled into Record er's Court charged with disorderly conduct. What had they been doing? Why, their terrible offense, accord ing to Policemen Clack and Whelchel, who arrested them, was “spooning” on the Capitol steps. The officers, of the law, waiting for a propitious mo ment, had come upon the twain Just as their lips had met in a long, lin gering soul kiss. “Break away, youse!” was the gruff command that startled them from their embrace. Then they were taken to the police station. They gave their names as Miss Dora Weissmann, No. 290 East Fair street, and Gus Meyers, No. 287 East Fair street. She is a stenogra pher and he a clerk. , Recorder Broyles promptly dis missed the case, as he did that of Miss Dollie Johnson No. 158 East Fair street, and W. C. Williamson, No. 474 Woodward avenue, who wero arrested on a similar charge. The Recorder admonished them, however, that it were better to Jo their spooning at home on the porches and in the hammocks. It was this warning that brought the general invitation of Chairman Cochran for the young people to flock to the parks, where they would be unmolested. “Got Nothing on Georgia.” Declaring that Denver, the repre sentative city of the Middle West, hasn’t a thing on Atlanta—not even in the dress line—Governor John M. Slaton, who returned from the Gox- ernors’ conference at Colorado Springs Thursday night, expressed the firm opinion Saturday that Atlanta was just as good as any town in the whole country and that Georgia was not be hind those States called the most pro gressive. “Why, I saw only two slit skirts during my whole stay in Denver,” said the Governor, following a query, “and they were not of the extreme type. “No, they haven’t a thing on us out there. And in a great many ways I found that Atlanta and Georgia ac tually were far ahead. When I told them of how we borrowed money from our home banks at 2 and 3 per cent, they expressed much surprise, and when I told them of our progressive taxing laws, they were still more sur prised. Summing up. my visit to the West has simply made me stronger in my convictions that Georgia is just as progressive as any State. We are greater than a great many of us be lieve.” The Governor declared the report that the hospitality in Colorado was below’ that of Southern hospitality was erroneous. Governor Ammond, he said, and others tendered hospital ity to the visitors Which could not be excelled. CABLE NEWS.
