CHAPTER XIII.
Louise.

The doctor from Englewood came
very soon, and went up to see the
sick girl with him. Halsey had gone
to supervise the fitting of the car with
blankets and pillows, and Gertrude
was opening and airing Louise's own
rooms at the house. Her private sit
ting room, bedroom and dressing room
were as they had been when we came.
They occupied the end of the east
ling, beyond the circular staircase,
md we had not even opened them.
u The girl herself was too i'll to notice
what was being done. When, with
the help of the doctor, who was IA
therly man with a family of girls at
home. we got her to the house and

ReVere's Ride Not a Myth.

1t is curious how many intelligent
persons will read without understand
ing what they are reading. Were
this not so we should not now be
having a convulsive tempest in n tea
pot over Paul Revere's famous mid
night ride. The letter from Hancock

lished does not make this ride nor
does Mr.. Benjamin say that It does
All that Mr.. Benjamin says is that
from what Hancock wrote to Gerry
the midnight ride of Paul Revere
was unnecessary. This may be quite
true in the light Of today, but we
are not dealing with what was neces-
sary or unnecessary, but with what
was actually done and II was thought
necessary ut that time, perhaps, that
Revere be sent of TO give the mid
night warning. Paul Revere has been
aptly called THE Messenger OF the
Revolution" from the many rides he
made, far and near, on behalf OF the
peoples cause. His famous midnight
ride is an historical fact, and not
merely a poetic legend of Henry

Military Anecdote.

In the first legal meeting of the citl'
zens OF the little town OF Albany, n.
H., every soldier in the place was
summoned to assemble.
The officers were duly chosen, but
It turned out that there was only one
private. Looking wistfully at his Sill
peFiors standing in array before him,
the solitary representative OF the
ranks said:
Gentlemen, have one request to
make; that is, am the only soldier,
and l hope you will not be too Sc
we're In drilling me, but will spare
me a little, as l may be needed an
other time"
He also remarked that he could
form a solid column, but that "it
racked him shockingly to deploy."-

The proposal to increase the APP
preparation for the construction OF the
Panama Canal is not unexpected and
should not provoke serious criticism.
At even the largest price now sug-
gested the canal will be well worth

however, that the advocates OF the

the construction of the canal larger
sum than II was formerly estimated

WHEN IGNORANCE IS BLISS UNDER
THE GEORGIA PROHIBITION LAWS
Georgns May Have Liquor May Keep
for Others, Says the State Court Of Appeals.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Two more decis-
ions interpreting the prohibition law
were handed down by the court of
appeals today. In one of them it
is said that person cannot be con-
Vlcted of keeping intoxicating liquors
in public place when the same are
there without his knowledge or con-
sent. In another it is held that a
person is guilty of keeping such
liquors in a public place if the same
are there with his knowledge and
consent, though not his property.
The first is entitled Smith VS. the
State, and was appealed from Mil
ledgeville. The plaintiff in error
was charged with keeping intoxicat-
ing liquors in his restaurant and
cafe. His defense was that the two
pints of whisky in question had been

BIG CLOUDS OF PIGEONS
Over 100000 of the Birds on a Farm
in California.

Over 100000 of the Birds on a Farm
in California.
What is said by the owners to be
the largest pigeon farm in the world
is at Los Angeles, Cal. There are
cotes for more than 100000 of the
birds and every nest is occupied, with
numbers of the birds roosting on
outbuildings and in temporary nest
ing places.
The birds eat two tons of wheat
each day, says the Technical World
with large quantities of green stuff
and other foods of which a regular
account is not kept, as it is obtained
from surrounding farms in exchange
for fertilizer from the pigeon ranch.
When the birds are disturbed from
their eating they rise from the
ground in huge white clouds, spotted
here and there with patches of blue
and rufOus coated pigeons Of late
years the cOlored birds have been
gradually weeded out, until now the
population of the place is practically
all made up of snow white birds.
In the nesting season, when the
cotes are full of young and eggs, the
pigeons stay close around the farm,
but at other times of the year they
gather in great white clouds over
Griffith Park, the largest city park
in the world At feeding time they
fly about the three men constantly
employed to care for them, setting
on their shoulders, heads and arms,
even trying to get into the feed
sacks, from which the wheat is
thrown in great scoopfuls.
The product of the farm, squads,
young birds and adults, goes entirely
to the large hotels of Los Angeles
and surrounding resorts.

THE TRAGEDY OF THE ALAMO
DIR. IVEY'S THRILLING ACCOUNT
OF HISTORIC EVENT IN lee
TURE AT ARLINGTON.

The friends throughout this sec

with interest the following from a
recent issue of the Macon Telegraph:

To the Editor of The Telegraph:
| was much interested in the account
given in Tuesdays Telegraph of the
Enacted Tragedy of the Alamo, ."
which took place seventy-three years
ago. 1t made good reading matter
for all your readers, and especially
for me and my school boys of two
years ago
AS an exercise for my boys I had
occasionally, during the term, some
man of marked ability to deliver a
lecture, generally before the. towns
people as well, but more particularly
for my school boys, who were re-
qu1red to take notes." and to write
a report of the lecture the next
day in the school room.
Among others who favored us with
a good lecture in the spring of 1905
was Rev. j. A. Ivey, D. D., of Daw-
son.
[ recognized in DR.. Ivey a polished
dlgnihed and attractive speaker, as
we'll as Baptist minister, but from
past experience I put him on notice
that some of the boys generally made
it a business to do up the speaker,
and that he must be on his guard
The doctor had his outline of the
city of San Antonio, where he lived
for many years, showed the course
OF the river and the creek, pointed
to the positions held by the large
| public buildings of today, gave a
graphic description of the country
now and seventy-three years ago:
held his audience in breathless ST
lence throughout the whole lecture
and charmed everybody, even the
| boys, whose guest he was. His ac-
count of the tragedy left many I'M
able to sleep soon afterwards, for
| his was a great effort.
| During the lecture many of the
boys were lost to everything else and
wrote as if for life.
In the doctors account of the city
when he lived there he referred to
some things said by the lamented
Sam Jones, who held a meeting in
San Antonio. Mr.. Jones said the only
difference in San Antonio and hell
was San Antonio had a river running
| through it.
One boy-one of the brightest,
most watchful of course-wrote:
Mr.. Ivey says the only difference
! between san Antonio and hell is hell

But the Austin, Texas, reporter
gave us good reading, and, without
the knowledge of Dr. Ivey no audi
ence can well afford to miss hearing

! the opportunity to hear him. Re-

his daughter. He was convicted
but the higher court reversed the
verdict.
The other case is that of M. j..
Hendrix from the city court of Sa-
vannah. A considerable amount of
intoxicants was seized in his store.
His main defense was that the liquor
did not belong to him, but to anoth-
er. The verdict was confirmed.
The court holds that finding intox-
lcating liquor in a public place justi-
fed the inference that the proprietor
of the same is guilty of violating the
law, but that evidence to the effect
that the same was there hidden with
out his knowledge or consent is suffi-
cient to overcome the presumption of
guilt.

HE'S TIRED OF BEING KILLED
Will Lick the Next Editor Who
Prints His Obituary.

Bill Long of McKeesport, Pa, is
tired of being killed, even in the
newspapers. Six times in five years
he has had the pleasure of reading
notices of his death, or rather,
deaths, in the papers. Sometimes
he died peacefully in bed, and some
times with his boots on. At first
Bill was little pleased to see what
folks thought about him, but he says
that after a while even laudatory
obituaries will get on a mans nerves,
and he is so tired of reading his own
death notices that the next man that
kills him in the paper is going to
get thrashed.
