Negro Chicken "LifterS" Do
Not Touch RoosterS-MoraI
Keep BOOSTERS.

Chicken thieves, thick as leaves in
Vallembrosa. if all one hears around
and about Atlanta nowadays is true,
may be sidestepped-if one be as wise
in his day and generation as is Gordon
Hiles, who lives in East Ninth street.
Mr.. Hiles, hearing his neighbors
weep and wall, and gnash their teeth
because Of fowls Of the female persua-
sion being distracted surreptitiously
from their hen coops in the dead hours
of night, bethought him-and hit upon
a scheme.
He quit buying hens and pullets, and
laid in a supply of ROSTERS!
He had heard that, while "cullud pus-
sons whom he darkly suspected Of
perpetrating the chicken thefts in his
vincity are Unfortunately fond of chick
en-"just crazy" about it, in fact-they
give ROSTERS wide berth.
He remembered that, once in his
youth, a certain old Uncle Sambo
Washington Sniff had said to him:
"Nebber you eat no rooster, sonny. You
sticks ter pullets and hens, and eat
EN- fried, and stewed, and broiled, en-
| anyway yer kin git 'em. but don't you
partake of no roosters. Rooster meat is
hoodoed."
And 50 Mr. Hiles got together his col
lection of roOsters, and he put them in
| the big coop in the back yard-and not
one of them has been touched while all
around him his neighbors nightly are
losing their chickens in punches.
Boosters are pretty good eating,
tool" said Mr.. Hiles, discussing his
stratagem and its complete success.
Certainly a rooster bird in the hen
coop is worth two pullets in a niger
chicken thief's swag sack.
My Sherlock Homesing warrants
the deduction, you viii observe my
dear Watso, that negro chicken thieves
will not steal roosters, and that the
chicken thieves operating in Atlanta,
because of the fact that they do not
steal ROSTERS. are colored brethren"

FULTON'S PENSION
ROLLS FOR 1918 WILL
SHOW BIG DECREASE

Figures compiled in the office of the
ordinary indicate that Fulton county's
pension rolls for 1918 will show a de-
crease of $4,000 from the pension totals
paid in 1912. This is the first time in
the county's history that Confederate
pensions have shown a decrease.
According to Ordinary Wilkinson, APP
plications for pensions now on file show
that Fulton will need SS1,S4O for 1913
to distribute among some 400 veterans
and widows of veterans. The pension
rolls for 1912 totaled $685.; for 1911.
$S2,450 and for 1910. $66.O45.
By the arrangement maugurated by
former Governor Slaton of paying vet
Grams in certain counties as fast as the
money was collected by the state. Full
ton county pensioners were among the
drst to draw their money last year.
This year Fulton county appears near
the end of the list and pensions will
not be distributed here until some time
IN April, Governor Brown having re-
versed the order OF payment.

The Senate Substitutes the Webb
Measure for Its Own.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate
passed the Webb liquor bill already
passed by the house, as a substitute
for the Kenyon-Sheppard bill.
The Webb bill would prohibit ship
ments of Intoxicating liquors from one
state to another when intended to be
received or sold in violation of the law
of the state to which the shipment is
made.
Friends of the legislation now will
seek to have the house concur in the
senate BILL which differs from the bill
passed by the house only in number.
Should that be done the bills will not
be considered in conference, but the bill
passed by the senate will go to the
president for his signature.
The substitution of the webb bill
for the Kenyon-Sheppard bill came at
the close of prolonged debate and was
by the viva voce vote.

Night Cause OF Divorce.
Wife Went Home to Mother
Early, She Says.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE ane-nuptiaI
eve antics of Tod otherwise known
as George Sloan, the famous jockey.
first gave his wife, the then and now
beautiful Julia Sanderson, the idea of
getting the divorce which was award
ed her by Supreme Court Justice BIZ
jur.
The wedding of the jockey and the
actress took place in Sloan'S suite In
the Dazian apartments in this city on
September 81, 1907. Sloan at that time
had won his fame and much of the

bringing racers under the wire first
Mrs. Sloan, now a Broadway star. was
then a chorus girl.
What occurred on the night of the
wedding was the basis of one of Mrs
Sloan's charges. Directly after the
ceremony there was a champagne sup
per- to which a select coterie OF Sloan
friends were invited. At midnight the
bride went home to her mother ana
kept her secret.
The bride gone. Tod" and his friends
rounded up more champagne and some
ussorne dan.sels from the beauty
shows and it was wen into the morn
ing when the party broke up. The
Jockeys housekeeper testified for Mrs.
Sloan that the next morning she found
Tod" talking briskly over his coffee
with one not his wife.
Mrs Sloan named as correspondents
Miss Mabel Robinson and Charlotte
Palmer. Sloan, whose present address
is the Maizons Laffit, Paris, remained
entirely Indifferent to the divorce suit.
Early in the action he filed counter
claim, naming a Yale football star as
corespondent but on the motion of his
own lawyers who asserted there never
was at any time any evidence to back
the Jockeys spiteful allegations. the
counter claim was dismissed and the
referee heard evidence only against
the defendant.

Toxic, Feb. 11.-Violent political riots
broke out in the city of Osaka today.
The offices of the newspapers which
support Prince Katsura. the premier,
were attacked by great mobs. Several
deaths are reported.
Tne situation in this city was ,quieter
today. The rioting of last night. in
which 20 persons were killed or serf-
ously injured ceased in the early hours
OF the morning. The severe cold COM
pelled the mobs to seek shelter. There
were no further disturbances up to
midday and the authorities withdrew
the patrols of soldiers from the streets.
The rfoting appears to have convinced
the government of the futility of en-
deavoring to continue the Katsura
regime.
Kastsura and his cabinet who as
sembled at 10 o'clock last evening re-
mained in session until this afternoon
The building where they met was
strongly guarded by police and SOL
