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 Ave OF
the white way" lights had been smashed.
The officers attention was attracted
by 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.

OWN CHILD LOST.
SHE HELPS WAIF
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 little four yesr-old waif who was
placed in her room at police headquar-
ters The child. Myrtle May Harper,
and her father. W. A Harper. were
found by the police in farm car
riage which ne was driving aimiessIy
through last nights storm. vainly try
ing to find the way to his home near
ChattahoOchee, Ca.
Mrs. Small, broken with grief over
the kidnapping by gypsies of her 3-year-
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 a
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 fondllng and loving the child,
who for the moment had swept away
her sorrow.
Until long after the hour of midnight
a light cleaned from Mrs. Smalrs win
dow. and the mingling of childish pat
ter and a soothing. motheriy voice was
evidence that for the first time in three
years Mrs Smalrs heart was light
again
A remarka BILE resen blance OF the lit
tie Harper girl to the lost daughter
made the parting this morning all the
harder. and tears were in every eve
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.

EAGER VETERANS

Half Of the 400 Confederate pen
sioners in Fulton county had been
paid by noon to-day, but there was
still long waiting line in the corri-
doris outside the ordinary's office that
leaves no room for doubt that every
pension win have been paid before to-
morrow
Delayed several weeks longer than
usual, but keeping in constant touch
with the ordinary's office by telephone,
there was not veteran in the county
who had TO be served a formal notice to
he at the office this morning At 8
o'clock there was a. large crowd in The
corridors of the building. and several
times IL 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
of work. For many the delay in pay
ing them means personal hardship, and
often short rations." one old pensioner

louder even than the wailings Of the

a cheer. At first 1t seemed strangely
out Of place that token of happiness in

louder as several men carried a young
