never be found. Yet again, it may
come out of the end of the sewer some

Little Tots Help
To Purchase “Dave”
Do the people want to buy Dave?
They do.
And the most touching thing about
the popular movement to pension this
gallant old fire horse, is the interest
which was awakened yesterday in the
hearts of the school children.
Sympathetic by nature, and taught
to love and revere that which is noble
in dumb brutes, the children caught
the idea and talked it over, in their
homes.
By night, Mr. Frank Manly, who
has greatly interested himself in the
movement, had received nickels from
several little tots, and if old “Dave”
could only know this, it would in
crease his love for humanity and the
children especially.
These nickels and pennies from the

Southern Hospitality.
I had been driving nearly all day
in a remote part of Southern Geor
gia and at nightfall stopped at a cab
in occupied by one man, says a writ
er in Woman’s Home Companion. He
was very cordial, and asked me to
spend the night with him. When we
sat down to supper I was somewhat
disturbed to notice that the meal con
sisted of a single dish of potatoes.
Without apology, the man, with a
wave of his hand toward the dish, said
in a loud, hearty voice:
“Stranger take one.”
He paused a moment and continued
in a still louder tone:
“Stranger, take two!”
Another pause and then even loud
er and more earnestly:
“Stranger lake mighty near all
of them!”
GRAND COMMANDER OF
MASONS VISITING ATLANTA
Atlanta, March 14 —James Daniel
Richardson, thirty-third degree grand
commander of the Scottish Rites Ma
sons in the Southwestern division of
the United States, is in Atlanta, as
sisting in the conferring of degrees
at the local lodges. He is being ela
borately entertained by local Masons,
including officers of the Mason’s An
nuity, which has its headquarters for
the South in this city. The Mason’s
Annuity is a beneficiary order, and
assures its members in old age a guar
anteed income. It also protects the
widows and orphans of Masons.
[ children are small as the world looks
| at money, but they are large contri
j but ions just the same, and are given
| in a spirit of enthusiasm.
Enough of them would buy the
horse and it would be a great thing
for this fine old animal to owe the
luxury and idleness of his old age to
the fine impulses of younger Dalton.
More contributions are expected
from the little ones today and these
will be supplemented by dollars from
the older people, who can afford to
give.
If you meet Mr. Manly or Chief
Perry on the street, come forward
with a voluntary contribution. The
fire boys believe that the necessary
$75 will be raised without delay.
DR. MORGAN PACKING
ATLANTA TABERNACLE
Atlanta, March 15 —The Tabernac
le Bible conference, now in session
here, is attracting hundreds of Bap
tists and people from other denomi
nations from all parts of the South.
The preaching of Dr. Campbell Mor
gan, of London, is packing the Taber
nacle to its utmost capacity at every
service,
At yesterday's sauce’s'
fervor ran to a high degree, which
did not abate throughout the day. Dr.
Kemp could not be present to conduct
the 9 o’clock services and Missionary
Emmett Stevens spoke in his place.
Dr. Cobern continued his series of
addresses on the prophets at 10 a. m.
By 11 o’clock there was hardly
standing room in the tabernacle. Dr.
Campbell Morgan continued his series
on “The Teachings of Christ —about
Himself.” He said that Jesus gave
no systematic teaching about himself,
only giving inferences, a few words
here and there. That the self-con
sciousness of Christ is the most ar
resting fact; He had a dual conscious
ness not separated in his conscious
ness but in our understanding of it.
Said Dr. Morgan: “If I had my
way the word “eternal” would be
taken out of the Bible. There is no
word in the Hebrew that corresponds
with it. It ought to be “age-abid
ing. ’ ’
The lecture of Dr. Morgan was rath
er technical but was listened to close
ly.

“Hello, Hawkins!” said he, stop

ter? Car turned turtle?”
“Not at all Dobbleigh, not at all.”
replied Hawkins. “These kids here
wanted to see how the machinery
works so I hired a derrick and had
the car turned upside down just to
please the little dears.”

SEVENTEENTH INFANTRY
TO GO TO PHILIPPINES
Atlanta, March 15 —It is generally
thought in local army circles that the
Se\ T enteenth infantry will be ordered
to the Philippine islands after its
service in Texas instead of coming
back to Fort McPherson. It was
stated at headquarters of the Depart
ment of the Gulf that, although such
an order has not yet been issued, it
is very likely that it will be.
