athens Banner: Little Albert stern
fell asleep in the large dry ODDS house OF NJ.
Myers a Co. several weeks ago. and HwOke 20
nnd himself enveloped IN darkness. The lit
tie fellow became very much frightened and.
snatehing up a nar OF iron, he began to beat
upon one Of the Dig plate windows In front Of
the building. This attracted attention on the
outside and the doors we're quick y opened,
and the heart of the little hoy was made
happy once more. but not so with
the mem ers OF the firm, for there was
a big hole In their window that
practI ally ruined a plate glass that cost
them OF o YER SOD. This was Aluerts drst e e.
perience. and the other evening while
he was accompanying his nurse for
an afternoon walk, he espled MS
rather, Mr.. Phillip stern, driving up Prince
avenue in his carriage. Albert ran out into
the street and attempted to get into the car
rage Just about the time street car was
passing by. The horse began 10 ack. and
the little fellow was caught between the
WheeIs and the body Of the carriage aud was
kept walking backwards as the horse con-
tlnued 10 push the carriage down the street.
Mr. stern was very much alarmed over the
dangerous position his child was in. but he
displayed very cool judgment in turning
MS attention to quieting the horse and so
guiding him That the wheels did not crush the
little child At last the horse became quiet.
ana then Mr.. Stern reached down and pulled
ms little son up into the carriage. He was
slightly bruised Jut not seriously hurt.
Wednesday morning ABOUT O'Clock resi-
dents OF Auburn avenue, Atlanta, were
drawing farm wagon going down the street
at about the same gait used by Chief JOyner
morse when going TO a ire. The horse created
Such sensation as the residents OF Auburn
avenue have not otkBown for long time. Down
the street pellmell the horse went on his mad
career. he was followed by large crowd Of
anxious people. Small boys on their way to
school sWelled the crowd following the mad
dened animal, and to add 10 the general con
fusion, these boys used their lungs Justify.
Wien the pace maker for the procession
reached Piedmont avenue man ran out into
the street and tried to stop him, but
the horse was not ready as yet to stop. On
the corner Of Auburn and Piedmont
avenues there is a grocery store conducted
by Eugene Virgins. When the horse came
down the street Mr.. Virgins was standing in
front OF his door under the awning which is
over the door. The horse when the man ran
out TO sop him made swerye towards Mr..
virgins, and that gentleman very hastily
vacated the doorway. This seemed to Just
exactly suit the horse who a ade a bee line
for the door which Mr.. Virgins had lust de-
serted. The horse must have liked the looks
OF the store inside, as he went right on in
taking with him the remains of the wagon
which he had been drawing. 1t may be well
TO state right here that parts of the wagon
were left leaning against an awning pole,
while others found their way to various parts
OF the store.
