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.

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.

"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 duct The cause of "his present out burst was that Turner, declared he believed Chambers needed Investigat ing, and ’gave out two questions he said he would ask him.

No Syrup Like VeIva No Syrup So Good ino ISo ap 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.

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.” Englishmen to Build A New Turkish Navy CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 6.— Turkish nav,al development is com mitted to Great Britain by a contract signed to-day by representatives of the Porte and English firms The Armstrong-Vickers group of shipbuilders are to take over the Ottoman navy yard at the Golden Horn and a new base is to be estab lished in the Qulf of Ismid. $10,000 Finery Loot Of Express Robbers UHIUAGO, Dec. 6.—Train robbers, w ho boarded the.'
