HOPELESS Predlcament.

Mrs. Pethick Lawrence, the English
suffragist, said at a farewell dinner In
New York last month:
THE antis who protest against the

ness have been thrown into terrible
predicament by Professor Dantan
positive proof that girl babies are
stronger than boy babies.
Their predicament is hopeless. 1t
is embarrassing as the predicament
of a lady who. about to be fitted for
pair of new boots in boot shop
flushed, bit her lip, and said to her
self:
".Oh, dear. which boot shall try
on? There's . hole In my stocking'
and cant remember whether it's the
left toe or the right"

said to derive a good deal OF quiet

of his orderly officers when the song
is more than usually personal and out
spoken.

II is estimated conservatively that the

the busiest season of the year and
thousands OF bales Of cotton are being
kept away from the markets because
of the strike, while towns. along the

Of sufficient provisions. Superintendent

CIRCUS TRA|LED
BY P|CKPOCKETS
Minister, Travelling Salesman,
and Suburbanite Among Vic
tins of Skilled Thieves.

Pickpockets, camping on the trail of
the Ringing circus reaped a rich har-
vest in Atlanta according to various tales
of woe told to the police today. And
they had little regard for the rank of their
victims.
DR. A. c. Smith, a minister of Crit
fin and uncle of Atlanta's city bacterol-
ogist, had just boarded a Seaboard train
to Cedartown, when he heard a commo-
tion and a man shouting that his wallet
had been stolen The minister was get
ting interested when an excited woman
who had been gesticulating frantically
told him that his pocket had been picked
also, and pointed out the thief escaping
in the station crowd. DR.. Smith, verify
ing the fact that he had lost his pocket
book jumped off the train, but his chase
was futile.
Tom Wilson, who said his home is in
Birmingham, was arrested as a pickpock-
ct He had $135 sewed up in his clothes
and the route of the circus written in his
hat. James Harden, a salesman, from
the unsophisticated city of New York
was the victim. He said his pocket was
picked on a Whitehall street car.
j. T. Tuggle, of Wallace Station, lost
$500. He got off a Decatur car at the
Equitable building, and when he began to
fish for bill to buy his ticket found
his money was gone

Several society girls, friends Of Miss
Cole, we're present to hear the trial.
The chief witness for the defense was
Miss Marie Pappenheimer, who was in
the car with Miss Cole at the time Of
the tragedy and who gave a graphic
description of the car striking the little
girl. Miss Pappenheiner Miss Cole
and two young men, who also were in
the car, testified that the batteries were
very low, that it was impossible for the
car to make much speed, and that it
was not exceeding five or six miles an
hour. They said that when the little
girl stepped in front of the car 1t was
too late to avoid the accident.
One witness for the prosecution,

miles when it struck the girl Other
