Drunken Row Reported to Sheriff.

Report of an alleged drunken row
near Springfield was made to Sheriff
Salley Sunday. According to the
report it is alleged that several men
under the influence of whiskey Wis
tied a home in the country in that
section and engaged in a row and
also attempted to burn the place,
and it is reported that they did set
fire to some cotton stored in an out
building. The building was partly
torn down in order to save the cot
ton. An officer was sent out from
Springfield to place the offenders un-
der arrest, but he was unable, so it
is reported, to take ali of the men
in custody alone.
Rural Policeman Hall was sent to
the scene of the difficulty this morn
ing, and it is expected that he will
reach the city some time during the
afternoon with the offenders.-Or-

WHO PUT GIRL IN CAGE?
Some Believe That it Was Clever
Work of Photographer.

Atlanta, Oct. 5.-Who put pretty
Anita Lawson in the leopard's cage
at the Grant Park zoo. Who let the
inexperienced girl enter the lair
where the keeper himself is afraid
to go?
Those are two questions that the
park board members intend to have
answered very shortly. In the mean
time the affair is something of a
mystery.
Yesterday afternoon an Atlanta
paper published a startling photo
graph of Miss Lawson, who is well
known young Atlanta girl, seated in
the leopard's cage, with whip in
her hand and leopard crouching in
the opposite corner of the cage, at
her feet.
Accompanying the picture was the
statement that the keeper had per-
mitted the girl to go in the cage,
because she wanted to win a bet of
a pair of kid gloves from young
man who said she was afraid to do
so.
The keeper is supposed to be a
man of experience and intelligence,
and the story seems to be almost
too astounding to be true. '1f he
did let an unarmed and unprotected
girl go in that cage as the story
says, he ought to be disgraced and
fred" declared one member of the
park board. But did he let her in?
In the minds of some folks who
have heard of such things before,
there is growing suspicion that it
was the clever but unscrupulous
newspaper photographer who put her
in the cage, by the simple ingenious
combination of picture taken of
the lady at one time and a picture
taken of the leopard at another. This,
however, is mere conjecture, as the
paper prints the picture as bona fde
news

"Sweet the Monkey"

A negro who is up in lore of the
mysterious kind says that the reason
Sweet the Monkey" canont be
caught is that he has eaten the bones
of black cat. This doctor of the
occult, says that the receipt for get
ting invisible is to kill black cat,
boil all of the flesh off it's bones
and stand in front of looking glass
and eat the bones until you get to
one which when eaten you will not
see yourself in the glass, and then
you can ever after be invisible at
will, just like the black cat.
If you do not believe this you can
try it.

figure of speech, but the real name
of very much-dreaded punishment,
known to Scotland as late as 1876.
The churches had their "cuttystools," I"
for public penitence, and men and
women who were guilty of improper
conduct were often compelled to sit
there during divine service, objects
of reproach by the entire congrega-
ton, and to stand on the stools at
the end of the service to be solemn
ly "rebuked" by the minister.
The Whipping Post for Lovers.
But what will strike moderns as
the most unjust punishment of all
was the practice of fogging at the
whipping post lovers who wooe /
fair maids without the consent of
parents or employer. The Plymouth
laws of 1888 were specific and pretty
comprehensive as to the punishment
for 1.-The inveagling of mems daugh-
ters and maids under guardians,
but afterward it was found to be
necessary to be more clear as to the
definition of "inveagling." So a
later law itemized the arts of forbid
den as speech, writing, message.
