1 king with a friend about the Ogle-
H»rpe fund, asked that his name be

"George Leoles is his name,” Mr.

Little Facts and Fancies About
Well-Known Atlantans.
WHl+a-m T. Healey’s oldest son, a
boy of nine, had a birthday not long
ago and hie father gave him a very
unusual present.
“I found an old saddle my father
gave -me -*u years ago,” said the
senior Mr. Healey, “and I’ll bet 1 have
ridden 10,000 miles in that saddle.
TIte leather was worn, but the tree
was day it
was mOT aTZ nTl
“I ter a hggMss m$ker and
told hinSLEo plilaRe -©est piece <>f pig
skin over it he could find, and 1 gave
it To my Toy as a birthday present.”
• “What'sort of pony has he?” Mr.
Healey was asked.
“He hasn’t a pony yet, but he gets
as much fun riding that saddle on a
hobby horse as though he were
mounted on real horse flesh.”
Lueien Harris, to the world of hie
familiars “Luce" Harris, declared
Friday that while he was grateful to
his friend “Him” Dallas, whose digni
fied nomanclature is Simson L. Dal
las, for saving his life from an in
furiated jackrabbit during their
Thanksgiving hunt, he considered it
an accident rather than good marks
manship that the aim of his friend
when the jackrabbit was charging
was true.
" ‘Sim’, shot that rabbit just in time,
and it was the biggest jackrabbit I
ever saw,” said Mr. Harris, “but he
killed a rabbit at another time th«t.
day when I know hi® aim was at
fault.
“A speedy cottontail darted past ua
for a briar patch and we both fired;
but a search failed to produce the
rabbit. 1 gave up the hunt and had
walked several hundred feet away,
when I looked around for ‘Sim.’ He
was walking through the briars a few
feet from where we had last seen the
rabbit. He did not seem to know I
was looking, ft.r he pointed his gun
at the noonday sun and fired.
“ Did you °t him?’ I shouted.
“ ‘Yes,’ he answered. And he
stooped down and picked up the rab-
bit.”
There is a most enterprising butch
er down on Decatur street, in'the
very midst of the Kingdom of L irk-
town. Last Saturday night he dressed
one of his clerks up as a wild man.
and had the said wild man serve out
the meat to his dusky patrons. And
the butcher stood .n his doorway an l
announced in tones mere or less
stentorian that with every purchase
amounting to 25 cents he would give,
“absolutely free gratis for nothing,”
a lucky rabbit’s foot, guaranteed to
be the left hind hoof of a graveyard
rabbit kille.d in the dark of the mom.
And the darkies fell for his stuff like
doubt before the honeyed words of a
boosting Atlantan. He save he is go
ing to t ry the .stunt again to-night.
"Every Public Man Must Stand
Criticism." Says Electrician,
Replying to Chambers.
t’itv Electrician R. D. Turner took
AUline Dhambers’ bitter attack on him
Saturday in a spirit of levity. He did
not seem to be worried In the least
because lie had been called a liar,
blackguard and grafter, hut smilingly
found solace in a. quotation from W il-
liatn Jennings Rryan.
”1 seem to have drawn Uhambers’
fire at last," ne said. ”1 am very
well satisfied with the situation.
“W illiam Jennings Bryan says that
every man in public life must stand
a certain amount of criticism. 1 am
willing to stand my share.
“Mr. Chambers is unwilling, or un
able to stand his, as he retired from
public life at the last election.”
Since Electrician Turner’s personal
attack on him, Mr Chambers, ex-
Couneilman and attorney fqr the Cot
ton States Electric Company, has
dropped all mere Intimations of
wrongdoing on the part of the City
Electrican and boldly accused him of
being a “blackguard deliberate liar,
slanderer and a grafter.
I charge that he got $180 from the
association of electrical contractors
In November, 1912," said Mr. Cham
bers. "That was after his election,
ami could not have been a campaign
contribution.
"What did he get it for?
‘He admits having received a gold
watch from the contractors.
“What did he get that for”
"As to Mr. Turner’s charge that
i received campaign contributions
from the Georgia Railway and Power
Company, I answered that during an
investigation by the General Council
last year, which body denounced Tur
ner as a deliberate liar and slanderer.
“As to his Intimation that a repre
sentative of the Barber Asphalt Com
pany paid to me and two officials of
Atlanta a sum of money In Now York
in the summer of 1912, he knows that
it is utterly false, and that he is a
common blackguard and liar as well
as a grafter."
Mr. Chambers promised more sen
sational accusations and disclosures
when the Hoard of Electrical Control
and the Council Electric Lights Com
mittee meets Monday to resume the
investigation of Turner’s official con

burst was that Turner, declared he

Experts Praise Work of Atlanta Institutions as
Nearly Ideal. •
Most everybody Likes, to watcb little
children at work or play.
And maybe that’s the reason why
the fifteen little boys and girls from
Jhe Home for the Friendless are al
ways the center of a curious throng
at the Child Welfare and Public
Health Exhibit. They are of most
Importance in the Dependent Child
Section of the show, which has a room
to the left as you enter, the building.
And every one of the fifteen young
sters— what time they are not chat
tering and giggling with the exuber
ance of childhood—are working, al
though it doesn’t appear to he work.
The average child, if it like® the
task given it. can make almost any
work seem like play—and the people
who train the children a; the Home
for the Friendless have the knack of
teaching them to love their work—
and therefore it is play.
Panels Show Achievements.
Probably no section of the show
has attracted more attention than
the Dependent Child Section. While,
of course, the children are the center
of attraction, there are other thing®
in the exhibit which make it worth
while.
There are panels illustrating the
work of five of the well-known At
lanta orphan asylums, two of them
negro institutions. Photographs of
children from the Home for the
Friendless are shown on one panel,
with statements of the work being
done.
On another panel the work of the
Decatur Orphan Home, which makes
a specialty of the cottage plan of
caring for its children, is shown, and
on still another the Georgia Children’s
Home traces the progress of a child
from lowly surroundings through the
various stages admission to the
home and adoption into a childless
home.
And there are %lso panels showing
what the Carrie Steele Home and the
Leonard Street Home are doing for
the negro children cast out into the
world.
Atlanta Institutions Praised.
And on the other side of the room
are panel® showing conditions in an
ideal orphan home, and a panel show
ing scenes in a girls’ training school
Then there is a "How to" Help” panel,
vividly telling the best ways to make
up to the child for the loss of it®
home.
And it is much to the credit of the
Atlanta institutions to say that the
experts declare they compare very
favorabW with the ideal institu
tion® told of on some of the panels.
There is nb orphan home that is per
fect tfre experts say, hut the Atlanta
institutions appear to he doing a great
deal of the work that is recommended
for the ideal home.
The local part of the dependent
child sections was collected and ar
ranged by Miss Elizabeth Gregg, No.
176 Capitol avenue, chairman of the
committee on that section. She ex
ercises general supervision over the
.section, and is enthusiastic over the
attention it has attracted.
“Child for Every Home.”
“We hope we are doing a lot of
good by this section,” said Miss Gregg
Saturday morning. “Our motto is,
‘For every childess home there is a
homeless child,’ and we hope to show
Atlantans that there Is not only a
child for every home, but that the
children are being trained in sur
roundings that do not cause them to
lose their love for the home.
"Anyone can see from the panels
and photographs how the children are
cared for and they can see the results
of the training in the happy faces
of the children of the sewing and
basketry classes the Home for the
Friendless has .sent here to he a part
of the exhibit.”
