shed a strange, protecting influence

The biggest dove shoot Of the year
in this section and one Of the biggest
ever held was pulled of yesterday on
one of Ira Cooks plantations in Lee
county.
A field several hundred acres in ex-

of several weeks and sportsmen at
tended from Albany, Leesburg and sew
eral other points. There were between
125 and $50 gunners in the field when
the birds began flying, just after dawn.
and it is probable that more than
5000 doves were killed.
In spite Of the great slaughter the
birds appear to be as plentiful as they
have ever been. A number of ladies
participated in yesterdays shoot.
A big bird shoot was given by J. NJ.
Stevens and J. T. Holder at Stevens
farm, four miles south of Lumpkin, in
200-acre level field to-day. Birds
We're plentiful and between 1000 and

the field. The hunt was followed by a

The "PLain

By Louise D. Mitchell
Copyright BY Joseph B. Bovlss.,


The green canoe drtfted idly upon
the gently heaving waters of the
mountain lake and his paddle rested
upon it's side as he sat and watched
her in silence.
Her profile was toward him and she
seemed absorbed in the water dripping
slowly from the slender finger tips she
had been trailing over the side Of the
boat. An eloquent silence had settled
momentarily upon them, but presently
out of it his soul rose to expression.
Alice" he breathed passionately,
"I-love you!"
She looked at him with serious
eyes.
"Yes," she said, simply, Il know it. .
Does it please you to know it,"
"I-I-think So"

treatingly.

three weeks. It is too soon to have

She turned her face toward the
woods and sat in silence for a mo.
ment. Watching her face intently in
the clear moonlight he saw an express
sion of quivering pain steal across it
and then fade into deep seriousness.
A great surprise filled his heart.
Have I hurt you?" he pleaded in
distress.
She did not look at him, but sat up
q little more erect.

will try to be patient until then. But
you will also bear in mind that am
asking you to be my wife-my wife,
Alice?"
Eyes, yes" she said hurriedly; "but
please, not anything more-now.'
She was strangely agitated. To cover
and control her distress she sat up and
withdrew her hand from the water and
began slowly drying each finger upon
q ridiculously small handkerchief. He
noted it and smilingly drew one from
his own pocket and, shaking it's snowy

LARGEST BATH IN THE WORLD

Swimming Pool Near London, Eng,
Opened, Holds 100000 Gallons.
The biggest swimming pool in the
world has just been officially put in
commission at footing Bee Common,
England. 1t is 300 feet in length and
is SO feet wide. With a capacity Of
100000 gallons OF water it is SO ar
ranged that $4,000 gallons can be
pumped into it daily, thereby insuring
a partial flow all the time. BY this
plan it will not be necessary to clean
the bath more than once a year. To
empty the bath and refill it means an
expenditure of 5000. The depth of the
pool is feet 6 inches. It has no COW
ering overhead, but all around there
is ample accommodation for spec
tators.
The work Of construction was begun
about year and a half ago, and was
so far advanced last fall that it was
used for general purposes. The fix
lures, of course, were only in rough
state; nevertheless about three thou
sand persons visited the big pool ev-
cry day for their dip. One day in the
week is set aside for women, and on
these days the bath is taxed to it's full
est. There is mo- admission charge.
In spite of the large number Of bath
ers no fatality has so far occurred, but
the bath attendants have rescued thir-
teen persons, and they received the
Royal Humane society medal last year
for saving two persons from the deep
end. The bath is situated in the most
picturesque part of the common.
