WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER
FOR THREE WEEKS.

How long can a fowl live without
food or water?
Mr.. A. v. Chaplin. superintendent at
Bethesda, has a fine hen that pass
ed through a fast lasting three weeks
A prisoner under a box on the grounds
at Bethesda, this hen went for TWEEN
ty-one days without either food or
water.
During the recent fair held in Sa-
vannah Mr.. Chaplin purchased a fine
hen that was on exhibition, and with
other chickens took it to Bethesda. But
the hen disappeared after it had been
given the freedom of the grounds. MIR.
Chaplin and the boys searched in vain
for some trace of the fowl and the
conclusion was reached that it had
been stolen.
Mr.. Chaplin had reached the point
where he had forgotten his loss, when
the dead came back to life. Some one
at the home had occasion to move a
box that had been in the yard, exposed
to the elements for weeks, and the
superintendent hen, very much light
err, but still alive, was discovered. Mr..
Chaplin was elated, and began at once
to nurse the fowl back to life The
hen is now on a light diet, but is out
of all danger.
Under the box the chicken passed
through rain storms and billiards., and
that it should have lived for SO long a
time as three weeks is something that
cannot be understood by Mr.. Chaplin.
But the fact remains that it happened
and that Mr.. Chapln's hen has the dis
tinction of being probably the only liv-
ing fowl that has passed through such
an ordeal.

NEWPOST OF T.P.A'S
To BE ESTABLISHED IN SAVANNAH
WITHIN SHORT TIME.
BIG MEMBERSHIP ASSURED.
WILL BE ORGANIZED WITH RIOS
TER OF NEARLY ONE HUNDRED.

Meeting of Those Interested to BE
Post Is Received-AppIfcati to
National Secretary Was Made
Some Time Ago and Permission to
Begin Work Is Expected This
Week-New Organization Not OPP
posed to Post A, but Believes
There Is Room for Both.
A new post of the Travellers Pro-
tective Association will be formed in
Savannah within the next week
1t is probable that it will be organ
lied at a meeting to be held either Fri
day or Saturday, and II will start out
with a membership, it is stated, of
between seventy-five and one hundred.
Application for permission to or
ganize, and for charter have al
ready been made to Louis T. La
Beaume, secretary of the national or
ganization, st. Louis, and as soon as
the charter has been received, which
will probably be within a few days,
the meeting for organization will be
held.
Those who were instrumental in
forming the new post state that it is
in no way antagonistic to Post A, but
there is material enough in this city
and vicinity for two posts, and that
though some of the present members
of Post y may be included in the
membership of the new organization,
by far the greater number of it's men,
bers will be men who have not before
belonged to the order at all.
No officers have yet been selected
for the new post, but it is said that
the place of president will be rendered
to some man who is constantly in the
city, and, therefore, in a position to
give his duties his constant attention.
1t is stated further than the person
mel of the new post will be such as
will assure it's success. In fact, every
thing promises a most suspicious be-
ginning for the new post.
AS soon as the organization is per-
fected it is probable that some sort
of entertainment for it's benefit will be
given. The form this entertainment
will take has not yet been decided
but doubtless it will be a ball Per-
sons who are statesmen, travelling sales
men or employers of travelling sales
men are eligible to membership in the
T. p. A.
of the city in which the headquarters
of post are, in order to be eligible
for membership, and there is a wide
territory in which to secure members
for the new post. 1t is stated that
some have already been secured whose
headquarters are as far from Savan-
nah as Atlanta.

CHURCH entertainment
WAS A SUCCESS

In the Christian Church parlors on
Thursday evening was given an en-
tertainment by the Junior Endeavor
Society that was commented upon yes
terday in the Sunday-school and dur
ing the morning service.
A literary programme was carried
out in a way that leaves little doubt
that other similar entertainments will
be arranged. There were many fea-
lures, among them being a recitation
by Mrs. Johnson, solo by little Miss
johnson, recitations by Russell Blythe
wood, Mary Cooper, Mary MARROW,
Adele NARROW, little Miss Wood and
others.
The third Sunday in January is des-
ignated by the Christian Church as
Georgia Day." 1t was announced that
the day will be suitably observed here,
and that contributions will be receiv-
ed for the furtherance of mission work
in the state.

Friday Evening Services to BE Held
in Future at $3.50 O'Clock.
The annual meeting of the Congre-
cation Temple Mickva Israel was held
last night when officers for the COM
ing year were elected, and when an
important change in the hour of the
Friday evening services was decided
on. The officers follow:
President-Joseph Rosenheim.
Vice Presidents. Herman.
Secretary-Max L. Byck.
Each of the officers is a member of
the board of adjunta, or governing
body of which the remaining mem
bers are Lawrence Lippman, e. A

Gutman. The board and officers re-
main the same as those of last year
with the exception of the secretary
Mr.. M. S. Byck, who formerly filled
the post, having declined a reelection
because of ill health.
1t was decided that, beginning Jan.
%, the meetings each Friday will be
begun at $3.50 o'clock instead of at 6
o'clock, as at present. The change
has been made so that a number of

who are at present unable to attend
this service, because of their business
engagements, can be present each
week.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH
DR.. GUERRY'S TOPIC.
Represents Board of Trustees of
Episcopal University.

Represents Board of Trustees OF
Episcopal University.
DR.. w. A. Guerry. chaplain and pro-
fessor at the University of the South
at Suwanee, Tenn, addressed two
large congregations yesterday. In the
morning he spoke at Christ Church,
and at night at st. Johns Episcopal.
The university and it's future were the
themes of both talks.
The University of the South, con-
trary to the customs of most colleges
and universities, is in session from
March to December. This throws its
vacation from summer to winter. The
change is made owing to the fact that
the situation of the university, on top
of the mountains, make it an excep-
tionally excellent place for those who
suffer from malaria and other ills of
spring and summer. Many of its stu
dents come from regions of the coun-
try where fevers are rife, and by
changing the time of the vacations
from summer to winter these students
can enjoy the entire year in comfort.
The history of the institution is eX-
tremely interesting. The domain of
10000 acres was granted just previous
to the war; with the condition that
If the university was not established
within a certain time the land was to
revert to the original donors. When
the war closed this time was practi-
cally exhausted and the land was
saved only by the energy of one of the
bishops of the church. He FASTENED to
the domain, erected a temporary build
ing, and, collecting a few students,
started the university in order that the
land might be held.
The university is only endowed with
a small sum. DR.. Query has been
sent out as the official representative
of the board of trustees to solicit SUBJ
scriptions among the Episcopal congre-
cations for larger endowment of the
institution. Subscription blanks were
distributed in the churches and these
will be re-collected, when they have
been filled out, by the rectors of the
churches.
DR.. Query reports that he has met
with good success wherever he has
been thus far, but that he is hoping
for still better things to come. He will
remain in the city for several days as
the guest of Mr.. B. F. Finney.

MORE THAN AN INCH
OF RAIN FELL YESTERDAY

Yesterday was marked by 10 of an
inch of rainfall. The rain began dur
ing the early morning hours and con-
tinued, with the exception of several
short breaks, during the entire day.
A wind of fifteen miles an hour blew
the falling rain in all directions and
made the day all the more uncomfort-
able. There was an excess of tenn
perature of 6 degrees. The highest
point reached by mercury was 81 de-
grees, the registration during the ear
ly morning. The lowest point, so de-
grees, was recorded at noon. This
made the average temperature for the
day 81 degrees. while the records call

that he was madly in love with her,
but he had not courage enough to put
his fate to the test. But she was a
young lady who knew her way about,
as tue saying goes, and one night she
suggested game of chess. He, poor
fellow, eagerly swallowed the bait. If
he was novice at lovemaking he was
cerlainly no novice at chess, and he
soon had the fair maid hopelessly

None whatever said the guileless
George. Il shall mate you next move"

They are married now, and George
often wonders il she is as dense at
chess as she would make him believe.
