Atlanta Elite Seizes
Turkey Trot to Break
Monotony Of Dances
Step, Barred By Many, Features
Affair at Ultra Fashionable
Driving Club.

At-anta's socially elite have adopted
the turkey trot as their own. The
dance, barred by so many fashionable
resorts and clubs, has found true ex-
preston at the exclusive and ultra
fashionable Piedmont Driving club.
At the dance Saturday night, the first
big dinner dance of the season, the tur-
key trot was given it's first real tryout
in Atlanta. II was danced by all, from
the stately matrons and men of affairs
to the seasons debutantes and the boys
just out of college.
They all like it. Sticklers for the
proper declare it is wholly refined.
Just now the big question is whether
the turkey trot shall be permitted at
the debutante balls. Mothers are put
ting their heads together and ii may De
that Atlanta will see the gayest social
sea son Of its history, with the turkey
trot the real dance and the waltz and
the tvo-step sandwiched in merely for
variety.
A big dance is already planned for
Halloween night at the Broolhaven
club, when ali can dance 'the turkey
trOt to their hearts content. Social
leaders say they believe the dance will
be adopted by the Capital City and
the Athletic clubs by the beginning of
another season.

Citys Engineers Complained OF.
The city could require a forfeiture Of
the bond Of the company if all work
already passed up by council is not
completed. except that there are a
number of serious complaints against
the engineering methods of the con
struction department
These charges have not been made
public, but viii be investigated by the
special committee, which begins its SEES

resume the investigation begun as a

SAYS STOCK SALE:
IS USURER'S VILE
Locomotive Engineer Declares
in Suit That His Salary Will
Not Pay Interest.

According to r. L. Robinson, a rail
road engineer who appeared in supe-
rior court today as a plaintiff against
sundry Atlanta loan agents, the very
latest thing in excessive interest loans
is stock selling as a dodge to evade the
law.
Robinson maintained to the court
that he borrowed sos from the Guaran-
tee Investment Company and was as
sessed a monthly interest Of $12l0. He
said that r. L. McCurry, manager OF
the loan company told him that SOLO
of the amount went for the purchase Of
stock in the guarantee company. He
said that no stock certificates were is
sued him nor did he have a hand in the
affairs Of the company.
Robinson, in an effort to get an in
junction restraining various agents
from taking his wages at the Southern
railroad, told the court his adventures
with several companies.
He said that p, p jackson had in
duced him to sign what is called "a
thousand mile order" described az an
assignment OF wages and the granting
of a power Of attorney. I'm the thou
sand mile order Robinson obtained
$57 at twenty per cent monthly inter-
est. His failure to pay brought a
threat from Jackson which. II exc
cuted peant the loss of his job.
While tied up with Jackson and the
Guarantee Investment Company, Rob-
inson says the Atlanta Finance Com
pany loaned him $25 at a monthly in
terest rate Of twenty per cent and took
an assignment Of wages refusing to let
him see the paper that he signed He
was led to believe that it was merely
a promissoIN note In addition he got
S2S for $3.50 a month from w. Gar
land Cooper in the same manner.
As result, -four companies. all hold
ing thousand mile orders" against
him. are threatening to levy on his
wages as an engineer. He told Judge
Bell that the Southern railway made it
rule To discharge a man II all as
sigument order against his wages was
presented for collection.
After hearing the testimony Judge
Bell granted Robinson a temporary re-
straining order and set the case FOR No
vember g. Robinson said his wages
would not pay The interest. much less
the principal. Of his various loans.

a senatorial investigation. He was the
first witness called. George W. Per-

agricultural pursuits in Virginia and

"It'S Been the Longest Week

Quitting Cot.
ALTHOUGH EXHAUSTED,
HE STANDS TRIP WELL

FORT WAYNE, IND. Oct. 21.-Fa-
tigued, but cheerful and standing the
journey better than the physicians had
expected. Colonel Roosevelt reached
here today on his way to oyster Bay.
Much of the long morning on the train
was spent in reading. The colonel had
an assortment of magazines and books
in his compartment. He read ftfully,
for snatches Of half an hour then laid
aside the book to take it up again
later. In this way he passed the morn
ing. \ part Of the time the strenuous
former president openly and frankly
did nothing at all but rest.
His fatigue, however caused no alarm
to Drs Scurry Terrell and Alexander
Lambert, who accompanied him.
"The colonel is just like any patient
who has been laid up for week" said
DR. Lambert 1T is quite natural that
he becomes tired. 1t means nothing
but the natural physical condition of
one who has been confined to bed Be-
sides it must be remembered that the
colonel has had cause for excitement in
political conferences during his stay in
the hospital"
The colonels condition was so good
that the official bulletin issued to the
newspaper men about noon merely said
the patient was resting well and was
very comfortable.
Il do not think it necessary to take
his temperature and pulse" said DR..
Lambert.
DR.. Lambert said there was every
reason TO believe that the colonel would
reach oyster Bay in excellent condi-
ton
\ week Of absolute rest there would
do wonders for him. the doctor added.

JAPANESE FIRE-FLiSS

In Japan. says Mock Joya, in the August Strand. fire-flies are more than mere beetles. They are Cupid s light to guide lovers souls of anclent soldiers. the devils snare to tempt wanderers to death. In their light Of magic gold with tint of emerald green. the Japanese see stars of hope sorrows of broken hearts. the ever lasting spirits of warriors but most of all the joys of love and lovers.
 Whenever they see the glimmering faint green light of fire-flies hover ing over the stream running into the darkness of night the Japanese dream of love and loving hearts. The llght of fire-flies is the guide of lovers going along the marrow paths through the ricefield on dark nights to meet their sweethearts.
 The Japanese fire-flies arc much larger and give brighter and more steady light than those seen Tn Eu- rone or America. In old days many poor Japanese students. unable to buv candles. were won't to gather fire flies in a bag and read thelF hooks by their light. The Hotaru- kago (fire-fIy cage). made or Ilhe Iaces placed on the Veranda or hung among the trees in the garden, gives almost as bright a light as the large stone lantern but much more quaint and dreamy.
 Fire flies are plentiful everywhere in Janan. They are not at all afraid Inf human beings, and will often alight upon the dress. and even on the hd'' or hands. It is not seldom that tlre- flies fly into ones pockets or sleeves
 During the daytime fire-flies sleep under the shelter of grasses near streams or ponds. In this state they are terribly ugly But as soon as the sun sinks beyond the western hi''9 and the evening darkness begins U gather they wake from slumoer anu light their tiny gleam of SreehiSh yellow. At first they are tlmld' anu will not venture from their hldlhs r,Iace until it is utterly dark. Bu' ecnoe of the more brave and restless attempt to fly from their day-shelter before if is quite dark. and show their faint light under the deep shadow of great trees or under the cover of the low stone bridges oNe' the stream.

FIRST NURSE OF INFANT TELE
 GRApH

Residing in the city of Washington, D. C. is an old gentleman now in his eightietth year. who may be said to have been the first nurse of the infant electric telegraph. His name is Alfred c. Hall, and his age sits lightly upon him when, with the memory of his early experiences still clear in mind he tells some incident of those early days when we considered it a marve- lous feat that we had gotten our tele- graph line working all right over the tremendous distance between Wash
 ington and Philadelphia MT. Hall recounts some of his early experiences in connection with the telegraph in the August Popular Mechanics magazine
