Atlanta, Dec. 2S.-Chief of Police Manly
submitted to the Board of Police Commits
sioners this afternoon Recorder Boyles
request to him to order the rearrest of
the prisoners released by Mayor Wood
ward on Christmas day.
The board unanimously decided that It
was a matter in which they had no con-
Germ, and that the chief of police should
obey the instructions of the Mayor which
forbade the rearrests.
Mayor Woodward is an ex-officio member
of the board, and stated that he had fol-
lowed a custom that had been in vogue for
years, and that he would do the same
thing next Christmas and recalled the oc-
casion when all the prisoners were re-
leased on the Fourth of July during Mayor
Porter Kings incumbency.
There will be no personal collision now
between the Mayor and the Recorder.

GOLDEN KEY TO HAPPINESS.

The woman who knows how to keep
silence has in her possession ''the gold
en- key that unlocks one Of the doors
to secret happiness" 1t is hard some
times not to speak. You know how II
is. You are with a dear friend whose
affection and loyalty you do not doubt,
and in one of the unguarded moments
you are led to the extreme Of conf
dence telling some thought, some hope.
some belief or aspiration which before
has been hidden in your soul, scarcely
whispered to yourself, yet as vivid
and real to you as though it were
sentient with the life Of its own fulfill
ment. Your friend does not compre-
bend, treats it lightly, and goes away
onto some topic far removed. You
have an instant sense Of betrayal, and
a sort of resentment toward the friend
whom for the moment you think has
failed you 1t is you who are to blame
for expecting more of your friend than
she was capable of giving.-Sallie Joy

In syllables of airy gold,
Sings seated on the spinal column
Of Pegasus the steed Of old
Because today old Pegasus
Has been unhorsed-he's now a bus!
No more DER dizzy heights he'll hurtle
AS he has done since time began;
He'll soon be hymned as choice mock
turtle
A pearl imprisoned in a can.
The bard upon new horse sings,
That goes on wheels and not on wings

Into the heavens brightly starred,
Who art for arts sake 1dolizes,
Yet writes his sonnets by the yard,
Sings Money makes, in veal and woe
The horseless carriage horseless CO."
ture
About the ancient Siege of Troy,
And how that great historic capture,
Which glads the heart of man and
boy,
Was made by men his head and heels
Within a horse whose hoofs were
wheels.
Then let the horseless carriage gather
The laurel wreath on any course;
Or call it simply, if you'd rather
'Tis quite correct-the horseless
horse,
That glides along without break,
And, though he eats not, takes the
cake.
Oh, clear the track and let this peer
less
Equine outfly the whirling wind,
On noiseless wings, in spirit fearless,
He'll leave all other shapes behind.
For Science we must say, perforce,
Has put the cart before the horse.
