About Unrecognized

Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace has proved to
her satisfaction that observation is a

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the
woman who has filed the newspapers
with stories and photographs walked
through the heart of the Whitehall
shopping district into Peachtree street.
through the crowds at Five Points. to
her attorneys office in the Empire
building, and not a single person in the
throng recognized her.
Only one head was turned in her d.
rection for more than casual glance
during the entire promenade. One lit
tie girl, with keener eyes than the rest.
recognized or thought she recognized
Mrs Grace. At any rate, she turned
and took a second look at the woman
as she passed Five Points.
That is the second time I have
walked through the heart of Atlanta
since l have been released on bond"
laughed Mrs Grace. And it has been
the same each time. Not a person has
really recognized me"

MRS. GRACE MAY
SUE Mates KIN
Attorney Says She Is Unable to
Collect $500 Loaned to Her
;
Husbands Stepfather.

A dispute over money furnished by
Mrs Daisy E. Grace to her husbands
people in Newman was expected today
to involve the accused woman in a new
law tangle. Besides supporting her hus-
band. paying all of his living and per-
sonal expenses. as was shown by her in
court last week. Mrs. Grace loaned
sums to his people, which she is now
unable to collect, according to Josh Tye,
who. acting for the accused wife. made
a visit TO Newman yesterday.
Mr.. Tye, on his return to Atlanta,
said he had failed to collect a $500
note given by S. L. Hill stepfather of
Eugene H. Grace. to Mrs. Grace. The
note, he said, was due last January. but
so far no payment has been made on
it, and when presented to Mr.. Hill yes
terday was turned down with the state
ment that he would fight 1t in court be-
fore paying it.
Mr.. I've said Mrs. Grace sent him to
Newman to collect the money only after
letters concerning it to Mr.. Hill failed
to bring reply and that she needed
the funds, which at this time would
save her from making any further sac
rifces of her bond holdings.

HERoIsM OF EIeHT-YEAR-oLD.

A remarkable story of the heroism
of boy of eight was told at the Liv-
erpool (Eng.) coroner's court recent
ly. Charles Abbott, who, with his
brother and sisters, resided with his
greataunt at Moss Farm, Walton,
awoke half an hour after going to
bed to find his room full of smoke.
Seeing his greataunt with her cloth
ing on fire, he climbed the banisters
to get buckets of water, which he
promptly poured over her. Then, ap-
prehensive of further danger, he
made his way to the bedroom of his
brother, aged four, whom he carried
downstairs on his back, and returned
again for another child aged six.
Unhappily his greataunt died from
shock.

SLOT SAVING MACHINES.

Slot machines as repositories for
savings have been found by Buda-
pest banking concern to be an excel
lent means of increasing the amount
of money handled by its savings de-
partment. The slot machines are
placed in the street, and the persons
placing money in them are auto
matically given a receipt, which may
be exchanged against a bank book,
or kept until such time as the re-
ceiver is DESTROYS of withdrawing the
deposit from the bank. The idea is
that people will deposit small
amounts, if relieved of the necessity
of going to the bank to do SO, and
also that the sight of the machines
will cause them to deposit coins
within instead of spending them.
The deposits of the bank have shown
a remarkable increase since the idea
was instituted.

Naturalist Seems 70 Have Accom-
piIshed Something Very Close to
the impossible.

OF all living creatures the turtle
is undoubtedly the slowest in its
movemen and probably possesses the
least brain. Yet a well-known
American naturalist has succeeded
in training three Of these creatures
to do a number Of little tricks. He
places them, one above the other on
spools, and il a piece Of cabbage or
other green stuff is held out in
front Of them, they will make a
complete circuit, all moving in uni
son, keeping their balance and not
tumbling off. The bigger turtle will
also ring a bell. This it grasps in
one Of its fore feet, jerks it off the
ground, and then gives it a shake.
1t is quite amusing to watch the
slow, deliberate manner in which
this is done. The turtles have al
ways lived in their owners house,
spending their time in the kitchen
hunting down the vermin. One of
the turtles draws a little cart about
the garden, a task which he appar-
emily does not resent in the least.
Of course he is never kept harnessed
for any length of time. He is quite
tame, follows the children about the
garden, and will even eat from their
fingers.
