HAcKMAN SPOILED PLANS.

Atlanta, Aug. 16.-Dr. S. B. Harrell,
a well-known local physician, discov-
cred or claimed to discover, yester-
day that his wife had made an en-
gagement to meet a certain we'll
known business man at a downtown
corner last night. DR.. Harrell locked
his wife up in room at home, armed
himself with her biggest plumed pic
ture hat and a shotgun, and called a
cab. When the cab came he got in
side, put on the picture hat, crouched
down, and ordered the negro to drive
to the corner in question and wait
there.
But the darkey had seen, with the
white of his eye, the curious equip
ment of his passenger, and believed
he had to deal with a mailman. So
when he got to brilliantly lighted
corner in the heart OF the business
district, he leaped from the box anG
yelled police. The officers took DR.
Harrell to the police station.
What would have happened If the
hackman had obeyed the first orders
may be left to the Imagination.

TO JAIL-OTHER NEWS
FROM ATLANTA.

Atlanta, Aug. 16.-County Police
man Boots" Rogers came to Atlanta
through the darkness at o'clock this
morning on his motorcycle with a
handcuffed negro burglar sitting like
a chained monkey On the handlebars
The call came shortly after mid
night from a farmhouse near Cox s
crossroads, that a negro had entered
the house and had been held up by
the house owner, at the point of re-
volyer. Rogers went out on his motor
cycle
He handcuffed the negro by one
wrist to the handlebars of the ma
chine, so that he would have the other
free to hold on with, and said, Now
you sit steady, for I'm going to take
you to Atlanta at fifty miles an hour
and If you try to jump we'll both be
killed, but you'll hit first" The negro
thoroughly frightened-sa quiet as
a mouse until the Jail door was
reached.

The best skin specialists told me
that nothing would remove my freck-
les and that l would carry them to
my grave" said a well-known society
woman, but l fooled them all with
new drug, othine-double strength,
that l bought at E. c. Bruce's, which
cleared my skin and gave me a fine
complexion"
The action of othine is really re-
markable, for when applied at night,
many of the freckles disappear en-
tirely by morning, and the rest have
begun to fade. An ounce is usually
all that is needed, even for the worst
case.
Be sure to ask E. c. Bruce for the

1t fails to remove the freckles.-3

to seek information on the subject from
the authorities of Kew Gardens. The
Investigations of w. r. Thisteton Dyer
brought to light a plausible explanation
of at least a part of the rain tree
stories.
The traveller Spruce reported his own
experiences with the rain tree as fol-
lows:
"The Tamia caspi or rain tree Of the
eastern Peruvian Andes is not a myth,
but a fact. although not exactly in the
way popular rumor has lately present

at daybreak with two assistants into
the adjacent wooded hills to botanlze.
4 little after o'clock we came under
a lowish spreading tree, from which
with a perfectly clear sky overhead
a smart rain was falling. a glance
upward showed multitude of cicadaes
sucking the juices of the tender young
branches and leaves ana squirting forth
| slender streams of limpid fluid"
This is not the only explanation.
| THAT many plants spontaneously exude
moisture under suitable conditions is
we'll known. The phenomenon is
called "guttation" and has perhaps
been most fully described by A. Bur

ture drawn up from the roots of
