Among the emigrants that
came from England to Georgia
in the first settlement, was an
old white haired, white bearded
man, bent with age. No one
knew anything of him and he
was 30 modest and retiring that
they felt it would have been rude
to have questioned him concern
ing himself,
Leaving the settlers one morn
ing, he made his way into the
forest with only an ak and dog
as means of getting a liveli-
hood. He wandered about many
days looking for a place to build
his hut-a place where. ne might
be free from the Interruptions
of man, and have the ever
changing beauties of nature be-
fore him. He chose the mouth
of deep, narrow hollow, down
which ran a. torrent OF water.
The log hut was made to rest on
an immense boulder; while from
his door he beheld the water
rushing around and over the
moss-coyered rocks, the ever
changing forest beautiful to him
either in the aowery freshness
of spring, the multi-colOred foil
age of fall or the often white
rnbed dead Of winter.
By trade he was a trapper,
and often would he come to his
home heated by a tussle with
mountain bear caught in traps,
or laden with a deer or carrying
in a large pouch over his shou-
lder the hides of the wolf, coon
or eatamount. These hides he
carried to the settlement and
battered for corn for his bread.
He was known among the set
tiers as Old Tommy, taking his
name from the word barter
which the English roughly call a
tommy.
One day as he was returning
with his corn from the settlement,
a snow began falling which made
Old Tommy hasten his steps,
knowing that a heavy snow would
soon cover his trail over the
hills. After travelling some time
through the forest he was stop
ped by a faint cry not many
yards away. On going toward
it, he found four children be-
tween the ages of ten and four
teen, all huddled together and
very much frightened. They
had lost their way in going home
from school and, after wander
ing around until quite worn out
had almost given up when the
cry OF Dan brought help. The
old man spoke kindly, and as il
was almost dark persuaded them
to go with him to his home.
They were flied with wonder al
him and his home.
After all enjoying a hot steak
OF bear meat and an ash tea cake,
he gathered them around and
told them stories until they be-
came sleepy when he wrapped
them warmly in his rugs Of
bear skins and stored them away
for a good nights rest, Their
he fastened the door securely
and stole out into the night
working his way TO the settle
ment to let the parents know o.
their children. He was quite
worn out, when he met a party
with lights hunting for the los
ones, knowing that q night spen
in the woods without protection
either from the cold or hungry
wolves meant certain death,
The children did not forge
their strange friend; but on nut,
ting days they would go TO hi

Senator MeMuilin moved t.

{ AAAtA ONAQCCO bAA4o 0COOAOl4s
/ Senator Gray said it would not
necessarily make a man drunk
ard or d temperance man by
voting for or against this bill.
It was not a question Of temper
ance, but a question whether or
not the people would be allowed
to govern themselves. The bill
was not in line with the Demo-
cratic party, and that was why
he wanted it killed.
Senator McMullin said Senator
Blackburn. who was generally
RIGHT on all matters, was on the
wrong side this time. He consid-
cred the measure as one of the
most absurd introduced in the leg
islature. The legislature had no
right to coerce the people.
Senator Rains said no man had q
right to engage in business which
will damage his neighbors. The
tipping of liquor did not make
better preachers, mechanics and
business men. He knew it to be
the fact that the man who gulped
down whisky FASTENED his death.
Whisky caused deaoIation, blood
and death. It was against the
schools and all good citizens.
Senator McGehee asked if this
bill had come up before the
Jonesboro repeal act had passed
on what side would Senator
Rains have set his lance at rest.
Senator Rains-We have strong
police regulation and the sheriff
in Jonesboro. We can control
the liquor business.
Senator Douglass-If the people
are so efficient over there in
Jonesboro why couldn't they
keep out the blind tigers?
Senator McGehee said that
Senator Douglass had captured
a part of his speech. He then
spoke in support Of the motion to
postpone and stop such foolish
measures.
Senator Hayes said he would
support the bill for the reason
that outside of Incorporated
towns there was no protection
against liquor. There was a
vast difference in the city where
there were police regulations.
Senator South moved the pre-
vious question. Carried.
The motion to postpone indef-
inately was lost-ayes, 12nays, is
Amendments were made to

Senator Williams objected and
moved to lay the motion on the
table.
Senator Manning moved to in
definately postpone all the
amendments.
Senator McGehee moved to lay
the motion on the table. Lost.
Senator Haley moved to adj
journ. Lost.
Senator FIathcock made
strong argument against the mo-
ton to postpone. ie said it wa
perfectly absurd to say tina
whisky cannot be sold in a com
munity where a majority OF the
people vote for license.
Senator South moved TO adj

Senator Smith was called tt

chemistry was nosing about the chem
icaI laboratory of a Michigan college
when his eye caught a dust-coVered
lar on a shelf in an out-of-the-way cor
ner of the building. He reached out
his hand to take down the par, but as
he saw the label on it he stopped as II
paralyZed Then he tiptoed out Of the
Laboratory, closed the door behind him
gingerly. locked it, and posted notice
outside warning everybody to keep
away from the building.
What's up, Professor" asked several
students, in chorus.
Keep away cried the old man.
There's enough iodogen in there to
blow the campus over into Canada"
How did it come there?" inquired
a freshman.
Il don't know" answered the Pro-
tfessor. but it's there-there's the main
thing for US to consider. l suppose
some experimenting fool years ago
mixed up a solution of the explosive and
then forgot all about it. AS long as it

WHY not carry the stuff out and

upper class man.
! The Professor looked at him plying
Ily. My boy" he said, there is about
/ one chance in a thousand that it could
be stirred without causing an explo-
I sion. Even the slightest jar or loud
noise will do it
For about a week the laboratory was
closed and chemical work was suspend
ed All sorts of schemes were discussed
to get the explosive out of the build
ing but no effective way could be de-
vised. AT one time it was seriously
proposed to flood the entire building and
thus render the iodogen harmless, but
this was abandoned when it was seen
that the loss in ruined chemicals would
amount up Well into the thousands of
dollars.
Finally one of the boys of the soph-
omore chemistry class sought out the
Professor and offered to remove the jar
if he were paid for running the chance
of death. He wanted 500 for the job,
and casually remarked that II he MADE
a slip the money would hardly pay his
funeral expenses. lAc OlA man NOAAAON
over the proposition two days before
he agreed TO ii, not because ne re-
GREETED the money involved. but because
he feared the moral responsibility of a
fatal termination. Then he yielded
and handed the key of the laboratory
to the reckless student. and told him
to make the attempt at night, when nc
one else was around.
The sophomore waited until the coast
was clear. Then he walked up to the
deadly jar, picked it up hurriedly
emptied about a pint of ordinary sand
out of it and threw the jar away.

Kings daughter than of a Palais Royal
dining-rOom.
With the Hermitage and the Straw
Palace, and the Farm, with its wall
paintings by Horace Vernet, the list
of what may be called the old Peter
hof outhouses is pretty well complete.
The Hermitage has a diningroom with
a trick dining table, which disappears
with each course, and reappears with
its successor; and the thatched palace,
on the whole, fails to supply you with
any adequate reason for its existence
in the pondful of CHASTITY gray bearded
bicentenary carp which belongs to it.
