Hair OF the 900 Confederate pen
sioners in Fulton county had been
paid by noon to-day. but there was
still a long waiting line in the CORR
doris outside the ordinary's office that
leaves no room for doubt that every

morrow.
Delayed several weeks longer than
usual, but keeping in constant touch
with the ordinary's Office by telephone,
there was not a veteran in the county
who had to be served a formal notice to
be at the office this morning. At s
o'clock there was "a large crowd in the
corridors of the building, and several
times It was necessary to close the
doors of the Office to keep off an eager
onslaught that the work might be eX
pedited.
Some of the veterans are wholly de-
pendent on the pension fund, while
others are able to secure some form

DRUGGIST GIVES

Dodson s Liver Tone Gets a
Four Square Guarantee from
Any Atlanta Drug Store.

When an article is sold a drug
gist who is willing to give It his

strong proof Of real merit.
That's exactly the case with bod
sons Liver Tone. Ii is pleasant
tasting. vegetable remedy for slow
and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's
Liver Tone came on the market the
sale of calomel has gone way down.
The reason is simply this: Dodson's
Liver Tone is safe and harmless
and guaranteed to be satisfactory
Calomel is often uncertain, some
times dangerous. and no druggist
wants TO guarantee that it won't
knock YOU out Of a days work and
maybe send you to bed.
Any Atlanta druggist sells bod
sons Liver Tone and guarantees il.
For you and for your children. it's
a good thing TO keep a bottle al

you your money back If YOU think
Dodson's Liver Tone is not worth
the price. Keep your liver work

WILSON MISSES
Do TURKEY TROT
Show Themselves Experts, AL
though Mother Had Said
They Didn't Know How.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-shortly
after Mrs Woodrow Wilson became
mistress Of the white house she made a
statement to this effect:
Il do not believe in the turkey trot.
My daughters do not know how to
dance it, and l am confident it will not
be seen at the white house"
In view of this statement, a ire
mendous surprise was caused at the
navy yard dance when the Misses VIII
son bloomed out as the best Of all the
turkey trotters present. Now society is
anxious to see if after all turkey trot-
ting will prevail in the east room as it
during the Taft regime.
II is certain. however, that strenuous
exercise such as the turkey trot, will
be tabooed by theiMisses Wilson, for a
short time. at least The presidents
daughters are very cautious right now
In their movements.
\ smallpox scare caused the presi-
dent. Mrs. Wilson and the three Wilson
girls to call in the family physician and
submit TO vaccination. As result, all
the members of the presidents family
are very tender about their left arms.

OWN CHILD LOST,
SHE HELPS NAIF
Mother of Kidnapped Girl Finds
SoIaCe in Caring for Little
Stranger.

Stirred by the memory of her lost
child, for whom she has been search
ing for three years, Mrs. Magdalene
Small, of New York, served as a mother
to a little four-year- waif who was
placed in her room at police headquar-
tiers. The child, Myrtle May Harper,
and her father, W. A. Harper, were
found by the police in a farm car
rage which he was driving aimlessly
through last nights storm, vainly try
ing to find the way to his home near
Chattahoochee, Ga.
Mrs. Small, broken with grief over
the kidnapping by gypsies of her Swear
old daughter, Mary Gretchen Small
hailed with Joy the advent of the lit
tie girl into the gloominess of head
quarters, and begged the police to al
low her to care for the child during
the night.
Mrs. Small declared this morning
that last night was the happiest she
has known since the disappearance Of
her own baby. She attended the wants
of the little Harper girl with all
mothers care and solicitude. She
washed the little face and hands. and
cleaned the dust OF travel from the lit
tie dress. She decked the little young
ster in the jewelry that once had been
worn by the lost daughter and spent
hours fondling and loving the child
who for the moment had swept away
her sorrow.
Until long after the hour OF midnight
a light cleaned fran Mrs. Smalls win
dow, and tho ningling Of childish pat
ter and a soothing, motherly voice was
evidence that for the first time in three
years Mrs. Smalrs heart was light
again.
A remarkable resemblance of the lit
tie Harper girl to the lost daughter
made the parting this morning all the
harder, and tears were in every eye
when Mrs Small kissed the little girl
good bye.
Harper was booked as a sleeper"
and this morning. having recovered his
sense of direction. was released. He
started at once for his home

Wind losses Signs
On Peachtree; Man
Hurt, Lights Broken

Policeman T. w. Clack early to-day
had an exciting experience with two big
canvas signs in front of the Montgomery
theater in Peachtree street, when the
wind got behind them and sent them on
a wild rampage Before he was through
the officer had been struck on the head
knocked down, and stunned, and five Of
the white way lights had been smashed.
The officers attention was attracted
by g. roaring sound from the direction
of the Montgomery. and battling against
the gale, he headed in that direction.
Arriving there he found two big canvas
signs in front of the theater going
through all kinds of contortions.
Fearful that the building would be dam
aged, the officer started up the stairs to
the second floor to cut the ropes and al
low the signs to fall to the sidewalk. At
that moment one OF the signs, backed
by a fresh gust Of wind, swung out over
the sidewalk and smashed to smithereens
five of the white way lights. On the
quick return, the wood frame of the big
sign took the officer squarely on the back
of the head and sent him stunned and
sprawling to the pavement.
Recovering himself, Clack leaped TO his
feet and FASTENED up the stairs, forcing
open a door, and reaching the second
floor windows. He cut the ropes, the
signs dropped to the sidewalk and fur
Their peril was avoided.
