ONE DRINK MAKES
YOUTH DO ANTICS
ON PEACHTREE ST

Albert McWaters, a sixteen year old
youth, today is on probation under Pro
baton Officer Coogler following a re-
markable story related to Recorder
Broyles.
1t came as an explanation as to why
he was acting queerly on Peachtree
street Sunday afternoon and was being
followed by a crowd Of about 500 peo-
pie watching his antics and listening to
mis- wild chantlngs.
81 walked into a PeaChtree street soda
fount and bought a soft drink" said
the boy. Just as l started out a man
showed against me and whispered that
he had some whisky. He then offered
me a bottle and l took a small drink.
Then l saw all kinds of pretty things.
and 1t seemed that l was in some
strange place where l just had a good
time all the time. | felt so light and
gay l couldn't keep still
THE next thing I knew, 1 woke up
and found myself looking out between a
lot of steel bars"
The youth begged to be placed on
probation, and promised never TO take
another such chance with a free drink.

Brazilian Palmist, Who
**Palmed" Negroes SIS,
Draws S15.75 Fine
Half Dozen Gaudily Attired For
elgners Star Actors in Police
Court Matinee.

Spectators at the police court matinee
were treated to an act in costume when
half a dozen gaudily attired foreign
palmists arrayed themselves before Re-
corder Broyles to take part in the trial
of Annie de Grove, a Brazilian and one
of their number.
Annie de Grove was accused Of palm
ing a negro man out of a five dollar
bill. The negro, visibly excited, ex-
planned that the woman told him if he
would place a fve-d dollar bill in her
palm she would read it--whether the
palm or the bill, he was unable to say.
At any rate, he said. she made a mys-
FERROUS motion over the bill with her
other hand and it disappeared. The
palmist expressed ignorance az to what
became of it, said the negro, and d
search failed to reveal any trace Of it.
The palmist. in badly broken Eng
fish, protested that the negro merely
paid her the regular fee for reading
Judge Broyles didn't quite figure it
out that way, however, and, making the
woman give the negro his five- dollar
bill, fined her $15.75.

Poor little thing; hasn't any mamma
1t pretty nothings in bear talk. Did
you say bears can't talk? Well, then,
you don't know bears.
Keeper e. T. Boyd, at the Grant park
zoo, says they can. He says bears
have distinctive call for dinner. for
bed, for pain and for pleasure. He says
thay can all but speak, and he knows
Boyd proves his point with Turkey
Trot, the latest recruit to the park
bear cage. Boyd is acting as auto
matte pap and mamma to Turkey Trot,
as Turkey Trot, II may be well to re-
mark, has not as yet been placed on
a heavy Diet. Turkey Trot can alb
serb more liquid refreshment in the
way Of milk than any bear south Of
the Mason and Dixon line.
Turkey Trot chortles for his sus-
tenance in a high nasal pitch, declares
Boyd, easily dtstinguishable from his
call for bed or his CRY of pain, when
he stubs hfs fat foot or lumbeztngly
spills his $50 pounds OF carcass in an

Some Job For Keeper.
This raising OF a bear cub via the
bottle route is no sinecure," says Boyd
Being the fountain OF life 10 a zoe
pet takes all the energy out of fell
low. Why, it's all l can do to keep
Turkey Trot in feed. l no sooner get
through with breakfast than Turkey
Trot sings out that it is dinnertme.
NO sooner is dinner served than it
is suppertime. I'll soon have to have
q troop of COWS for this youngster
il he doesn't learn to eat regular food
like the rest Of the bears"
Turkey Trot is an orphan. He's sort
OF founding. HIS NAV and paw were
sort Of lost in the general nniKup inoi-
dent to his arrival here and he had to
have q sort Of mother until he reached
such a state as he could take care of
himself.
Doesn't Eat Meat Vet
1T takes a regular dairy TO feed
Turkey Trot," says Boyd. But little
by little we hope to put the tiny fell
low on regular grub like the other
bears. He isn't able yet to handle a
meat diet, but from his evident delight
at smelling the food and his efforts to
paw 1t over it'll not be long till he
calls with his older brothers and sis
tiers for his share of the daily feed"
Turkey Trot can be seen at the 700
any day absorbing his several quarts
of tactical fluid. And to see the little
fellow on his hind legs getting out
side Of a bottle full Of milk Is in IT
self one good show.
And Keeper Boyd insists that Tur-
key Trot calls for the bottle in dis
tinctive tone And more wonderful
there's no one to dispute the statement.
