been saved. The name of Jabez
Thorpe was not among the list. A
week later it was generally accepted
in the village that he had met with
watery fate. Nellie went to his law
yer, who was sensible, kind-hearted
old man. He told Nellie to remain
right at her post of duty. So far as
he knew, no viii had been left. This
being true, the nearest Of kin would
inherit. Nellie was not in that list,
but he encouraged her to believe that
the heirs would make some provision
for her.
And then, much to the discomfort
of Nellie, the heirs apparent began to
arrive. There was the relict of a
brother of Jabez Thorpe, in weeds,
and always snufing and plying her
self. There was a fantastic, fussy
old maid cousin who entertained
great hopes because Jabez Thorpe
had once sent her birthday gift.
There was a eallow youth studying
for the bar, who claimed near rela-

edge as to the legal phases of the es-
tate. There was a shfftless youth,
besides, and all these planted them
selves about the premises. For two
days Nellie welcomed them. Then
she thought the situation all over.
She went modestly but firmly before
them one morning.
II have only the directions of the
lawyer, Mr.. Randall" she said, "as
to being in charge here, but he has
told me to go right on doing my duty
in Mr.. Thorpe's interests until the
estate is settled. Mr.. Thorpe left me
only enough money to cover the reg
ular expenses, and fear cannot af-
ford to entertain 80 much company"
Thereupon the lazy young man
growled out something about mig
gardly treatment, the lady in mourn
ing feunced out Of the room in hys-

no means deserted the old home
stead, however. There was too much
envy and suspicion among them for
that. They watched one another as
though afraid that some one was go
ing to carry off the estate-house,
farm and all.
Never would the faithful, persever-
ing Nellie forget one bright afternoon
as she went about the house attend
ing to her manifold duties. The
young limb of the law was smoking
a pipe in the sitting room, the other
male watcher of the slow develop
ment of the estate was asleep with
his feet on the table. In the parlor
the snuffing relict and the fussy old
maid were chatteTing away like mag
pies, when Nellie heard a roar.
She dropped the plate she was
holding, and it was smashed to
smithereens at her feet. Then with
a scream of delight she darted into
the sitting room, gave one glance at
a sturdy, wrathful figure filing the
doorway, and bounded straight into
the arms of-Jabez Thorpe.

] want to send my recip efor cook
ing beans, which are delicious. Take
one quart of beans, soak over night
In the morning boil until just before
they break their skins. Take one
pound of salt pork, cut in four even

bean pots (nothing else VIII do), put
enough beans in each pot to just
cover the bottom, then put one piece
OF peck on top of these and then
cup of beans end two tablespoons
of sugar, and so on until the pot is

pork on the top; bake in a hot oven

filing the pots put enough of the
liquor that the beans were boiled in

pots sideways when you haste them.
These beans, when done, will all be

$500 JUDGMENT FOR
WOMAN WHO SUED
DOCTOR is UPHELD

Placing the heel of ones fully shod foot
into the shoulder Of a patient and then
pulling with might and main on the
arm appears rather a primitive method
of setting a woman's dislocated shoulder
blade, but this is one Of the unusual ale
cations made by Mrs. Anna May Smith,
of Macon. against Or. \. B. Hinkle, Of
the same city, in a suit for damages
whose award of $500 was affirmed today
by the court of appeals.
In affirming the judgment. the court
makes a nice distinction between the pos
session OF reasonable professional skill
and its actual exercise in the perform
ance Of an operation. Dr.. Hinlle sought
to have the judgment denied on the
grounds that il had not been shown that
he was deficient in skill, but the court
held that the material point was whether
he had used his skill and care IN the
treatment OF Mrs. Smith.

Miss Margaret Laing. assistant pro-

came out most forcibly for a censor of
the moving picture films during the

against the Sunday moving picture plan,

day. "A gang Of small boy thieves re-
Gently told the officers OF the juvenile
court that they got the idea of their
daring burglaries from the moving pic
ture shows. The board surely could put
an end to the suggestive vaudeville
stunt given in connection with the pic

very suggestive Of evil and must have Il
bad influence over the actors them
selves as we'll as the audiences. which
are composed of many young boys and
girls.
Il certainly approve of good moral, re-
ligious and educational shows Sunday
afternoons. They would be better op-
Grated free of charge by the city, but if
the city is not going to do this. by all
means allow the picture men to do it,
and see to it that they give our people
good, clean shows all the time. Let us

Of commissioners of Chattanooga the

city in order to open up Broad street.
will come up for a special hearing in
the senate tomorrow.
The bill is now on its third and final
reading for passage having passed the
house, being slipped over in the guise
of a local bin during one of the night
sessions held during the days just pre-
vious to the recess of the general as
semblv. The tired solons were caught
asleep at the switch, and before the
opponents of the measure realized
what was happening, the bill had pass
ed its final reading and was beyond all
hope of a reconsideration.
Senator Bass. author of the bill, to-
day said:
Il understand that Governor Brown,
of Georgia. is bitterly opposed to this
measure. but that Governor elect Sla-
ton is heartily in favor of its becom-
ing a law.
Just why the people of Georgia
should he opposed to this bin is some
thing that I can not understand, for
the state will derive far more revenue
from rentals on this property after it
is condemned and opened up than 1t
will in the property's present condition.
Then, again, why should progress
siVc state like Georgia seek TO
hinder the development of city the
size Of Chattanooga, for the opening of
Broad street will prove an inestimable
improvement to the city, real estate
values will increase and marked ad-
vantage in conditions generally viii re-

bill will receive sufficient support on
the floor of the senate to warrant its

GERS to-day revealed that they are bas-'

While fifteen members of council, a

support to anti Sunday moving picture
legislation. it is very uncertain if a
two-thirds majority of council would
vote to override Mayor Woodward's
veto in the matter.
Mayor Woodward declines to discuss
tho matter for publication. He said
his time was taken up by the vastly
more important matter of a new char

though. all political critics agree. that
