Humanity does not take readily to the
idea OF having horses butchered for food,
and the heart is stirred to pity at it. Yet
to die in slaughter without any
preliminary brutality is not SO bad as TO
first have the hoofs battered off on the
Klondike trail. starve and freeze until
helpless, and then be used for dog feed.
In either case the faithful horse has rea-
son for thinking his lot hard one.

WASN'T HIS SIZE OF SHOE.
Country Customers Experience in
"A Bryan street shop.

Considerable interest in che outcome of
an interrupted trade was aroused on West
Bryan street yesterday morning. The
prospective customer, a country negro.
was eagerly sought at first to try on
pair Of shoes, but, after little, the dam
age resulting from his effort to get his
foot in one of them turned the shopkeeper
against him, and the air of welcome with
which he had been received had its cor
diality shattered. ~
The negro wanted 10 look at a pair of
No Us. The proprietors wife waited on
him, and said they were just out of No.
lbs. but they had No. lis, which would
tit him like the paper on the wall. She
was apparently perfectly satisfied that the
foot and the shoe agreed in size, but the
customer hesitated. He knew, he said,
that NO. IL was too small for his foot
The saleswoman got some soapstone and
rubbed in the shoe and told him to try it
on. Though demurring, the customer did

was TOO great for the quality of the shoe,

Inc shopkeeper insisted, but the negro as
stoutly disclaimed any intention of taking

an ofhcer, while he kept the negro penned

after a while got an insight into the ma

not within his province of interference.
The shopkeeper then struck a coercive at

KINGS DAUGHTERS GOOD BY.
THEY WILL MEET IN AUGUSTA A
YEAR FROM NOW.

Daughters Organized and a Consti-
tuition AdOpted-Mrs. Kate Row
land of Augusta Elected state
Secretary and Mrs. G. 1. Taggart of
Savannah Recording Secretary.
The Closing Work of the COnven-
ton.
The state convention of Kings Daugh-
ters adjourned last night and will meet
next year at Augusta.
The determination to hold the next an
nual convention in Augusta was reached
on the reading of cordial letter inviting
the order to that city. This letter was
read at the morning session and was from
Mrs. Kate Rowland.
At the conclusion of the night exercises
Mrs. Isabella Charles Davis of the New
York central council formally announced
the closing Of the convention of the Geor-
gia branch of the International Order Of
Kings Daughters. Then followed a half
hour Of words of encouragement and cheer
among the ladies' in the work to which
they have given themselves, and several
were received by Mrs. Davis as consecra-
ted workers in the cause of the king.
The ladies then said good-by to Mrs
Davis and the other delegates, two more
of whom, Mrs. Redding of Waycross, and
Miss McDufie of Quitman, arrived DUR
ing the day. Mrs. Davis will leave this
morning for Charleston, where she will
conduct series of meetings similar to
those that have been held here. From
Charleston she will go to Tarboro, N. C.
Mrs. Davis said that she was greatly
pleased with the interest and enthusiasm
manifested in the meetings in Savannah,
and was greatly encouraged by this in
terest.
The ladies, on their part, had learned
in the two days of her attendance on
the convention to esteem Mrs. Davis high
ly, and they feel warm admiration for
her work Hers was the first visit to Geor-
gia of a member of the central council,
and for that reason it met with additional
appreciation. They feel that great results
will follow her inspiring words and pres
ence, and all firmly believe that there will
be a revival of the interest in Savannah
that was felt two or three years ago. 1t
is expected that the seven circles may
soon be increased to the seventeen that
once so actively labored for the betterment
of the city and the dispellment of the
woes of poverty. This growth had its

WELL STOCKED WITH GUNS.
COuntryman's Experience With
Bad whisky

W. F. Bean got into trouble yesterday.
1t all came about through bad whisky.
Bean was on Bryan street, west, with a
heavy load on. A colored boy he met just
in front of Justice Nathans Office arous-
ed his ire in some way. He seemed to be
out on some Quixotic mission, for the boy
had done nothing to him, but nevertheless
he was going to charge the windmill
The first thing that greeted the object
of his wrath was a string of oaths that
poured out in rapid succession and were
followed by a pistol that made it's ap-
pearance from some one of Beams pock-
cts. Justice Nathans and his officer heard
the trouble outside and ran out. They
caught Bean and took him inside, taking
his pistol away from him amid a contin-
uation of his invectives. They sat the
man down in a chair and were going to
wait for his wrath to cool
No sooner had they taken their hands
off, however, than he whipped out an
other pistol. Whether he would have used
it or not the justice and the constable did
not wait to see, but piled on him again.
This time, after getting his gun, the hand
cuffs were put on, and a policeman was
sent for. officer e. f. Davis responded
and took Bean to the barracks, putting
him on the docket for carrying concealed
weapons.
