Remarkable Story.
After Anlshtng hla breakfast, the
Frenchman rotated to newspaper men
a remarkable story, a narrative con
taining dramatic features that would
form the basis for amplendld tala of
romance with a striking moral—a story
with a woman In th* case, as usual.
With his hands trembling* from In
tense nervousness, Indicating a craving
for some kind of drug, the Frenchman
begged for some morphine. On being
Informed he could not be given the
poison unless prescribed by a physi
cian. he said:
—"All rig I, -boys, - But t hsve gortn
have something. Just give me a ci
garette. then. Anything to ease my
nervep. I am In a terrible state."
After pulling vigorously on the ciga
rette and somewhat calming himself,
the tramp told his story.
His father. *.ne wealthy Lyons mer
chant. had groat ambitions for his boy
frlsnds.
"After a tlm* my money gave out and

WILL SAVE PEACHTREE

Peachtree etreet will be made a
toultvard. I
i|t seems almost a certainty that
•auncll will pass a measure at th* next
■eguler session protecting th* thor-
n%t\fare from tha constant wear and
ear of heavy wagons.
The movement which has been to
■tjpongly advocated by The Georgian •»
MSDg considered carefully by the unm
an of council and It la now con*Id-
red certain that the ordinance to pro-
eft Peachtree from heavy traffic will

At th* requeet of Alderman Hlrsch,
Itty Attorney Mayeon It now drawing
■p an ordinance looking toth* making
.f the street Into a boulevard. Alder-
nan Hlrsch want! the ordinance free
rom any flaw* Id order that. If pasted,
t may he enforced.
The etreet committee will meet next
ratk to take action on the matter. It
• .assured that the action will be fa-
-nrable. It will be remembered that
'oancllman Harman Introduced a re*-
■lutlon providing for the protection of
Peachtree, and It waa referred to the
etreet committee of council.
Alderman Hlrsch thought that It
would be better to have the city attor
ney draw up an ordinance with piuctl-
cally the same provisions. In order that
council may be assured thal.lt is per
fectly legal. ■ '•
Z - ’ Will Act F*v*rahlys:.^==
Council, it la believed, will nci favor
ably on the ordinance, when It conics
up. The one main provision will ne
that no heavy wagons of any kind be
allowed on the street, unless It la neo
aary for them to go on that street ! to
reach their destinations.
Niw asphalt pavement Is now being
laid on Peachtree etreet. and It Is ar
gued that the pavement can not stand
heavy wear like this, as has bees
proven by the fact that this Is the third
time In fifteen yeera the tax-payers'
money has gone to paving Peachtree.
It Is known that the majority of the
heavy wagons that are drawn over
Peachtree could Just ax well go on a
parallel street, with .rough, hard pave
ment, better suited to heavy wetr.
The feet that Atlanta hae no boule
vard and that Peachtree Is the best
street to make aurh a drive, causes
many cltlsana to favor the proposed
ordinance. They say Atlanta should
have on* etreet to which her residents
could point with pride: that the street
would be ns much one's ss another's
and that there should be one thorough
fare suitable for a pleasant spin, with
out the constant Interference and
Jeopardy of slow, heavy wagons block
tng one's course at every turn.
