City Chat
LEAVE HIM ALONE.

A maiden fair was in despair,
For never a lover had she.
"Oh, where will 1 greet him." first
she sighed
'And where will meet him?" then
she cried.
And the seas and the lands and the
winds replied:
You'll find him wherever he be.
you'll cross the seas,
And there, If you please.
You'll find him on the shore.
You'll never roam
Away from home,
And you'll find him at your door.
He leads the band
In a distant land
Or he plays the cornet near.
He's q soldier bold
In braid and gold,
But you'll find him-never fear.
Hes six feet tall.
And he isn't at all.
And you met him yesterday.
He's short and stout
And he likes to pout,
And he's ever so far away.
He's frightfully rich
Or he works In a ditch,
And his eyes are brown or blue.
But never you fret,
For you'll met him yet,
And he often dreams of you.
You may meet him in a meadow;
You may meet him in the street;
You may meet him on a mountain;
You may meet him on his beat;
You may meet him on a trolley;
You may meet him on the L.
you may meet him with the MOrmons-
Little girls can never tell"

THE DOG LISTS.

Today one year ago Cos licenses had
been issued TO keep dogs. Last year
was what might be termed a low water
mark year as only no licenses were
issued. For years prior the average
was 74O 10 75O. as 796 were issued IN
1903. This evening the city auditor
will send 10 police headquarters a book
giving the names Of all persons who
have paid their licenses. The book is
so arranged that the police can find
out who have not paid. 1t appears
upon the book that $40 dogs are doml-
ciIed north Of King street, and 291 on
the south side. The licenses were IN
the names Of 46l white and 149 col
ored persons One day this week a
colored man was fined s. for keeping
an unlicensed dog. That hundreds are
still unlicensed is self-evident. Their
owners are not % one race. Indeed a
large majority Of the dellnquents are
whites. many living in the heart of the
city, and appear Indifferent, but when
hailed into the police court and fined,
one and all try to make excuses. Jus

TWO PERSONS DROWNED.

At least two persons were drowned
and several others had narrow escapes
from death when a covered launch
owned by the government and used by
the soldiers at Fort Screyen, Ga. was
sunk in Lazaretto creek, near the fort,
late yesterday A woman member OF
the party was caught by the tide and
carried down the creek for several hun
dred wards, screaming for help until she
lost consciousness. Fishermen rescued
her and after a long time she was re-
vived. Other occupants OF the launch,
it is believed now, escaped in safety
after battling with the tide. The acct
dent occurred where the Tybee railroad
crosses the creek on a low bridge. The
top Of the launch struck the bridge the
craft careened, and was swept under
water almost instantly.
