S. Schell, a skilled machinist- living In East Point, has brought suit against the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany for 12,040. In hie petition, which wae filed on Wednesday In the superior court; b] hla attorneys, B. K. Childress and J. H.

"Gee, this hoboln' bus iness ain't half as much fun as Jimmy Sullivan said It was. Guess I'll go back to school." For the prodigal returned after three days. In which his parents, Mr. and Mrs. N.’ M. Daniel, of 271 Central ave nue, hail been alternately weeping and wiring In the hope of finding him. Stor ies of kidnaping, drowning and other rearful things had enlivened the In terval between Hal’s departure and the news that he had arrived In Chatta nooga, "where hie kin peopje lived at." Hal started to the Crew street school last Friday, wondering whether the new-style spelling would make It hard er or cosier to pass his examinations. He was so absorbed In his meditations at school that when a big boy stuck a pin In him he yelled and was repri manded. Somebody told Hal he would be suspended, so he sold hla books to a second-hand dealer for fl.lfi and thus equipped for travel, started on a Jour ney to the West, where there are In dians wnltlng to be killed and no boy terror of the plains to do the killing. Big Bill Burk, patrolman of the Chnttnnongu department, was walking his beat Sunday morning, when he saw a youngster on the curbstone who looked ua though he had been through a mill. "What's the matter, kid?" asked the policeman.’ "I'm hungry," said the youthful In- vander of the wild and woolly West. "I hnven't any rifle and I haven't any money and I don't see any Indiana and —and I want to go ho-o-me. It's din ner time and l haven't had breakfast yet." "Well, Mr. Diamond Dick." aald Pa trolman Burk, "before we go out In dlan hunting we’ll walk over to the restaurant and you'll have dinner me." Under the Influence of ham and eggs and a big mug of milk the boy traveler became loquacious and entertained the policeman and the Greek restaurant- keeper with the story of his wrongs and the pilgrimage which followed. “I was at school and a big boy stuck a pin In me and I hollered." he ex plained. "It hurt, too. And then be cause I hollered 1 got suspended. Then I was afraid to go home and get a lickin', so I sold my books and came over here." "How'd you get here, non?" asked Patrolman Burk. "You shore must be a walker If you made It here since Friday." "OK, I got on the train and rode till they put me off," explained Hal, "be tween bites of pie. "Then I got on the next one and rode a little bit fur ther. There's lota of trains, you know. But I walked part the way. And I haven’t had to wash my face since left home." When Hal told hie name at the police station and confided to the desk ser geant that he had some klrffolks tn Chattanooga, It wan easy to straighten out matters. A telegram to the At lanta home brought more Joy than the yellow envelopes often carry anil a tel ephono soon called Hal's Chattanooga relatives to the station. Hnl arrived In Atlanta Monday morning,’well fed, clothed and ready to take up arithmetic and geography once more. "But I’m not going to start out West again until I have more money and can get to the real prairies," he remarked, after breakfast. "Chattanooga's a bum town. But that was mighty good pie." D. O. K.

What the letter* stand for or who posted the signs could not be ascertained by In quiry of the clerks. "It'e one of the lodges the boss be longs to," said one clerk. “I guess he stuck It up there." "Is the Ku Klux to meet tonight? Shall the city be terrlfled by white clad horsemen and midnight marauders? What shall, we do about It?" These were apme of the questions the cttlsena asked each other. "If dem Ku Kluxers begin rldln’ roun' die town 3'm aho* gwlne And anudder home,” remarked one old ne gro.

In the local court. The defendant* de manded separate trial by Jury. In order to make this possible Judge committee Banker adjourned the session of the court to the first Monday In October. Little knots of men gathered at street corners and discussed tho portentous placards. Pointed questions regarding the membership were asked and "Are you n Ku Klux?” took the place of tho usual salutation. Half the city waa on tiptoe with ex pectancy. "Where will they meet? Ia It a se cret? I'd like to go and look on If 1 knew where. But the Ku Klux would be a mighty bad thing. The police should break It up. They ought to turn out the military.” Then the whole thing exploded when the hend of one firm walked Into his store after lunch and answered an In quiry as to the placard. "That? Oh, that's only a meeting of the Dramatic Order of tho Knights of Khorassan. Just a side-show of the Knights of Pythias, you know.” That settled It. The Knights of Khorassan lost their parnphernnlln nt the fire In the Kfssr building Monday night, but they decided to hold a meet ing anyway. And that's what the mys terious placards meant.
