Vogue of the eoIero.

The smartest dressmakers and tail
ors assert that the bolero is designed
to take the place of the very long coat
which was so much in vogue last sea-
son However, few women still cling
to the long semi-ftting coats, blouse
coats and loose house coats with
vests, belts and short basQues. Heavy
hand embroidery, openwork inset
combined with raised embroidery,
with an added outlining of soutache
linen braid, are fancies of the mo
ment.

Cat Provided for Her Kittens.

An old lady cat felt that she was
dying before her kittens were weaned.
She could hardly walk, but she disap-
peared one morning, carrying a kitten,
and came back without it,
Next day, quite exhausted, she did
this with her two other kittens, and
then died. She had carried each kit
ten to a separate cat, each of which
was nourishing a family and accepted
the new fosterling.-St. James Ca

ANTS KNEW THEIR KINDRED.
Took Friends Home to Sober Up, but
Left Strangers.


Left Strangers.
The ant nests were covered with
glass, each piece of glass ten inches
square, and over all black cloths were
spread, for ants detest the light
But now the investigator removed
the cloths and in each nest nearly a
million ants were seen at work.
These ants are all of the same spe-
cies," said the investigator They
all look exactly alike. Yet if 1 put a
stranger in among them he is instant.

is stranger? Is there some pass

they will still be told apart"
He took from a nest six native ants
and he put ON each of them a dab OF
white paint. Then he took six strange
ants and these he dabbed with red
paint. He intoxicated the dozen with
spirits and water and then he placed
them among a dozen sober ants from,
the nest whence the six white dabbed
drunkards had come.
What would happen now?
The sober ants regarded with dis
gust and surprise the drunken antics
of their white dabbed fellows They
stood aloof. They seemed to take
counsel together. Then they did Q
strange thing
They carried back home their six
friends, leaving the six strangers to
fare as they pleased.
Thus we see," said the investiga-
tor. signing, that 1 was wrong. How
ever it is, it is not by a password that
ants tell friends from strangers

from Louisiana in 1920, some thirteen
wears before the founding of the colony
of Georgia. When the Georgians be-
came aware of their fellow-citizepS at
Natchez they granted them autonomy,
and the Frenchmen named their county
Bourbon, in honor of the royal house
of Bourbon in France.

John Newton, who discovered the law
of gravitahon, but for Sergeant John
Newton, who, with Sergeant Jasper,
made daring rescue of an American
prisoner from British guard of nine

There are people in the state, too,
who think Pierce county was named in
honor of those great Methodists, Low

honor of ex-President Franklin Pierce.
The only county in the state named

GRIGGs is HELPING THEM.
Those Dougherty Farmers Who Gave
Orders to Employees for Whiskey.

From the Albany Herald.
Congressman James M. Griggs was
in the city Yesterday and held a con-
sultatiOn with those Albanians who
were forced to pay for revenue IL
censes because they had given orders
to employees for whiskey.
Congressman Griggs was notified OF
the status of affairs, and he came to
the city at his earliest opportunity IN
order to see if he could not straighten
out matters.
He instructed the men who paid for
these license to make afidavits to the
effect that they had not sold whiskey
for profit. and that they had been
forced to take out the licenses. He
intends to communicate with the au-
thorities in Washington in regard to
the matter.
Congressman Griggs says that, if
necessary, he will see personally the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
In the meantime, word is anxiously
awaited from the special revenue
agent in Atlanta whom Col. J. w:
Walters went up to see a few days ago

ERRONEOUS IDEAS OF GEORGIA HISTORY
A Lack of knowledge Concerning the Naming OF the
Counties of the State. Some Interesting Information
BY SAM W. SMALL.

If is queer sometimes to discover
what lack of historic information
exists among a people concerning
themselves. Whether 1T indicates a
lack of instruction, faults OF the eou-
cational system, lapses of memory or
Indifference to antecedents l do not
undertake to say. 1t may be IN any
c,iven case one or two, or all OF THESE
causes. But [ discovered wonder
full lot of ignorance concerning the
history of Georgia among legislators
and lobbying laymen while the new
counties contest was on in the recent
session of the general assembly.
There was manifest scramble at
the outset to get popular names
for many of the new county PROPOSE
lions. Their promoters generally ar
gued that half the battle would be
won in any cause where a name was
presented that would instantly and al
most unanimously appeal to the pa
triotism of the legislators.
Hence. it came about that the names
of Toombs, Grady, Stephens, jeff Da-
Wis. Dixie, Ben Hill, Milledge, La
mar, Turner and the like were taken
I'D by the aspirants. So sure did
MANY feel that county would be
named to honor the great cOmmoner,
Alexander Hamilton Stephens, that
no less than three localities asked to
be created into "Stephens county"
In canvassing names with hundreds
of leading, intelligent men in the state
found that many of them were la
mentally deficient as to county his
tory as shown upon the map.
For instance, at one meeting, where
the promoters of a new county were
discussing the choice of a name, a
gentleman of recognized intelligence
and business standing arose and
asked
"Why not name the county in honor
of that great soldier and statesman,
Gen. John B. Gordon?"
but we already have Gordon
county" was suggested.
"Where?' he asked bluntly, and
several others in the meeting also put
on the interrogation look.
''Why, in north Georgia, on the
state road. with Calhoun as the county
site
"Oh. yes, !" he said, II had forgot
ten that, and am glad the old hero
has been already so honored."
And that called forth the explana-
ton that Gordon county was created
in 1850. and was named for William
Washington Gordon of Savannah,
president of the Central Railway, who
died in 1912, and to whom beautiful
monument is standing in Savannah.
Another of these curious misunder-
standings was brought out at another
meeting, where an ELOQUENT, prominent
young lawyer was recOunting some OF
the great Georgians for whom coun-
ties had been named. Among them he
spoke Of 'Colquitt-named after that
Christian statesman, governor and
senator, Alfred H. Colquitt." And
that young fellow is graduate of one
OF the best colleges in the state! Col
quit county was named in honor of
the famous Walter 7. Colquitt, father
of Alfred II. Colquitt. 1t was created
in 1856, the year after Judge Colquitt
died.

 Another course was whole oranges, with unbroken skins. Yet inside the oranges were five different kinds of jelly. ss

 "What, you sitting here! Do you not know what has happened?'
 "No, what?"

 I threw down my pen-and that was the end of Ulrich von Hutten. I never touched the manuec"12t again. We tore down the stai"s into the street to the market square, the accustomed meeting place for all the student societies afte, their midday dinner. Although it was still fore noon, the market was already crowd ed with young men talking excitedly There was no shouting, no noise, only agitated conversation. What did we want there? This probably no one knew. But since the French had driv- en away Louis Philippe and proclaim ed the republic, something, of course. must happen here, too. Some of the students had brought their rapiers along, as if it were necessary at once to make an attack or to defend our selves. We were dominated by a vague feeling that a great outbreak of elemental forces had begun, as fl an C. rthquake was impending of which we had felt the first shock, and we instinctively crowded to- sether. Thus we wandered about in numerous bands to the "kneipe," where our restlessness, however, would not suffer us to stay; then to other pleasure resorts, where we fell into conversation with all manner of strangers, to find in them the same state of n.ind then back to the mar let square to see what might be go- ng on there; then again somewhere else, and so on without aim and end until finally. late in the night, fatigue compelled us to find tie way home Carl ScnurZ.
