HORSE THIEVES IN NEW YORK
Steal $4,000 Worth in a Month
With No Lynching Party. 1t
Is Easily Done.

Horse thieves, finding the West I'M
healthful, have transferred the scene
of their activities from the desolate
plains, where there are no policemen,
to the most popuIous city on the con-
tinent. New York, where, since Janu-
airy 1, no fewer than 120 horses and
wagons, valued at 100000, have been
driven away. The police records
show that, and merchants claim that
there are more the records do not
show.
1t is very easy. The market deliv-
cry wagon stands while the delivery
boy takes the meat and groceries into
the house. Perhaps he has to wait
for the dumbwaiter to come down
from the forty-eleventh story. The
horse thief, who has watched him
for days, knows how long he will be,
saunters up to the wagon as if he
owns it, mounts the seat, drives away
and that is the last seen of the
horse. wagon and perhaps few hun
dred dollars worth of goods. The
only sure method of foiling the met
ropolitan horse thieves seems to be
! to remove one of the wheels of the
wagon, hobble he horse and put a
man there to watch the outfit.

WORDS FROM HOME.

Statements That May Be Investigated.
Testimony of Dawson Citizens.
When a Dawson citizen comes to
the front telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such tes-
timony is convincing. Investigation
proves it true. Below is a statement
of Dawson resident. No stronger
proof of merit can be had.
Mrs. L. E. Welch, $40 East Elev-
enth Ave, Dawson, Ga, says: For
about a year I suffered from a dull
ache in my back that undermin-
ed my health and made it impossible
for me to do my homework. I could
get nothing that would relieve me
until l saw Doan's Kidney Pills ad-
vertised. This remedy helped me in
every way. My health improved and

PICTURE FILMS FOR HOMES
Moving Pictures in Homes Posi-
biIity of the Near Future.

A prediction may safely be made
that in the very near future provision
will be made for moving pictures in
the home. When a man decides to
build house to cost, say $50, 900:
or more, the architect will plan the
picture room in which the family AID
their guests can enjoy a select pro-
gram of latest productions. 1t may
be in connection with dancing room
or it can be accommodated in much
less space. A projecting machine
suitable for the home will not be
very costly, and the films will doubt
less be delivered each week by com
panies organized for that special pur-
pose. Travellers returning from
abroad will find pictures of cities and
scenes they have visited a wonderful
help in reciting to friends and rela-
tives incidents of the places they have
visited.
Another new industry which will
soon come into existence in all the
larger cities will be film photography.
Chldren's birthdays, garden parties,
weddings and other functions which
in later years will recall pleasant
memories will be thus perpetuated
by the film photographer He will
eventually be considered as much a
necessity as the orchestra. Undoubt-
eddy one of the most acceptable we'd
ding presents in days to come, from
parents to bride and groom, will be
set of progressive films showing the
children as they advanced from in
fancy to high school days. AS feat
ure of the wedding festivities these
pictures would afford both amuse-
ment and observation-disclosures

Within the next month or two, ii

utterly impossible for forger to

UNUSUAL CASE IS ARGUED
AN AMERICUS MAN SUES THE
TELEPHONE COMPANY.
Is Company Liable for Death When
Due to Failure to Get Prompt
and Proper Connection?

and Proper Connection?
ATLANTA-A special sitting of
the court of appeals was held today,
the regular calendar having been
completed Wednesday, to hear argu-
ment in the case of Glauson VS.. the
Southern Bell Telephone Company
An important point is involved in
this case-whether or not a tele-
phone company is liable in damages
when a call fails and death results
to one in urgent need of assistance.
The case arose in Americas.
j., L. Glauson sought to get dam
ages from the telephone company
setting up that his wife's death re-
suited from failure of that company
to give its normal and natural SER
vice when badly needed
Every effort was made to secure a
physician over the phone, but, it was
charged, that central failed to pro-
vide the proper connection, as a re-
suit of which Mrs Glauson died IN
childbirth. In the original trial ply
sicians testified that her life could
have been saved with proper medical
attention.
This will in reality be a second
hearing in this case. In the lower
court a verdict was given Glauson
for $4,000, but the telephone people
appealed, contending that it was not
liable in damages for failure to Sc
cure proper phone connections. For
mer supreme court decisions appear
to uphold this viewpoint.
Members of the appellate bench
desired further information and evil
dence before rendering a decision, the
case having been argued once be-
fore. The verdict will set an import
ant precedent.

The emperor divorced his wife, Oc

the question of alimony he sent a
Praetorian Guard around to assas-
sinate her a year or two later.
Now, Nero, in addition to his 9th
er unlovely qualities, was very
proud of his achievements in a lit
erary way. He wrote poems and
i plays, and then he acted the plays
himself, while the courtiers sat
around and told him that Aristo-

And then old Nero would slap on
a laurel wreath and prance out in
the middle of the stage and make
curtain speech, just like De Wolf
Hopper, while Poppoea Sabina, in a
box right next the stage, tossed roses
and murmured in a perfectly audible
tone: Really, his acting is superb,
and what a figure"
Now, Poppoea Sabina did not like
Agrippina. Nero didn't like her
much. either, for she was inclined to
be bossy, and fancied that just be-
cause she had put him in line for the
throne she should be treated with
some consideration. So when Pop
poea came around one day and ruff
fed his hair and tickled him under
the chin and asked him in her pref
test way to please give her Agrip-
pina's scalp he consented. He invit-
ed his mother to come out and spend
weekend with him at his country
place outside of Rome, and then, as
the Praetorian Guards were busy
shooting craps to decide who should
be the next emperor, he hired
gang of boy bandits to kill the old
lady with meat axes.

EMPEROR NEROWASAREAL LADY KILLER
Tough shrift to SuperfuOus Women
An Undesirable Citizen and NIaefactor of Great Wealth

OF all the tough old birds who ev-
er ruled in Rome-and there were
some mighty tough ones there at one
time or another-the worst was the
Emperor Nero He was an incendi-
airy, an actor, a poet and lady-kill-
er, causing his mother, two wives
and a girl who turned him down to
be put to death, He was also an I'M
desirable citizen and a malefactor of
great wealth.
When he first came into the world
his mother who was no better than
she should have been if what the
neighbors said was true, christened,
or rather paganed him, L. Domitius
Ahenobarbus,
But Mrs. Ahenobarbus was a social
climber, and after her first husband
died-some said she put rough on
rats in his coffee, but there is no
proof that-she set her cap at her
uncle, Claudius.
Now, Uncle Claudius, as you prob
ably do not remember, was emperor
of the unholy Roman empire at that
time. and was old enough to have
known better. He had son old
enough to be in high school and had
been married three times to some of
the swiftest members of the Roman
smart set. But he fell for Agrippina
and made her empress. Also he took
her rowdy son, and instead of send
ing him to the reform school or get
ting him d job in a packing house
he adopted him and changed his
name to Nero Claudius Caesar Dru-
sus Germanicus. Nero was sent to a
school to wise old tutor named
Seneca. who regarded him as a most
promising pupil. The boy learned
rapidly, and never put lacks in Sen
eca's chair and made himself gener-
ally agreeable He even pretended
to be interested in philosophy, which
won the old mans heart completely.
The Cyanide Game.
Well, in the course of time the en-
peror Claudius died. He went the
poison route, and Agrippina's was the
hand that slipped him the knockout
drops. She wanted to see her son on
the throne, and the Praetorian
Guards, a gang of militia whose prin-
cipal business was disturbing the
peace and mixing in affairs which
were none of their business, made
Nero emperor, Trusting aside Claud-
ius' son, Britannicus. Nero as has
been said before, was an apt pupil,
and Seneca was not the only person
from whom he learned. He had seen
how Agrippina slipped her husbands
off after she was through with them
and how easy it was to hush up the
grand jury afterwards.
This cyanide game" said he to
himself, lis one l can play just as
we'll as mama; better, pperhaps," and
he winked at himself in the glass,
for he was inordinately vain.
Then he sent around package of
poisoned chocolates to young Britain
nicus, who ought to have been en-
peror, and would have been if the
Praetorian Guards hadn't horned in.
Britannicus died. The coroner said it
was heart failure, or infantile paral-
ysis, he wasn't sure which. Shortly
thereafter this coroner resigned and
set to work building a large steam
