1909. Thaw enjoyed large degree
of personal freedom at that time.
All who have seen the little fellow
from the time of his birth are enthus-

say he has bright, snappy black eyes
and curl raven hair, a flawless rosy
complexion and every charm that ba-
byhood can claim.

tried eating some of the eggs himself,
but after consuming a dozen he gave
it up as a hopeless task. The eggs
made him sick and he had to call il

WAS INDICTED FOR
KISSING A Girl
Claimed She SidR't Object at
First

Atlanta, Ga, May 15.-If kissing is
a crime, Merritt Hairston, formerly of
Elberton, Ga, is sure to go to Jail
He has been duly indicted by the
grand jury for kissing a pretty young
woman, who objected to it.
Hairston's defense is that she didn't
object at first, but rather seemed to
enjoy it, and that he didn't know she
objected at all until she had begun to
scream. Hairston took the girl to his
home, he says, to show her a picture
of his dead wife. He also told her
that he was anxious to marry some
nice young girl to take his wifes
