quent pleas were made for the abolish
ment of the death penalty. the Russian
ritual murder trial and the Leo M.

utterances Sam Eplan and A. Gilstein

islature.
Mr.. Moore has written to the chair
man and various members Of the
Commission asking that the Atlanta
committee be given hearing. Tues
days meeting was not expected to
develop anything definite regarding
the Improvement. 1t was thought It
would result IN a discussion Of the
Improvement, In general way, in
order that the members may become
familiar with each others ideas, so
that the intentions OF the city and the
Chamber can be presented intelli-
gently to the Commission.
Captain Robert M. Clayton, City
Chief OF Construction and one of the
members Of the committee, has pre-
pared sketches Of the track elevations
and new viaducts which will be nee
essary If the improvement Is carried
out.
These sketches will be shown to the
w. and A. Commission when it grants
the hearing. If the Commission looks
with favor upon the scheme, and sig
miles its willingness to entertain a
proposition, it is likely general
meeting Of those interested will be
called.
The city's committee is composed
Of W. A. Wimbish, John W. Grant
Robert M. Clayton, Alderman John s
Gambler, Councilman c. L. Ashley and
Alderman G. H Kelly President

Quick RetOrtS
In Congress

IA one likes to hear a sassy re-
~ ply from the lips of either a
X child or a grown-up. But there
is a difference between being fresh
and really witty in making a retori
to a question that is itself, perhaps
little impudent. Here are several
such replies made by men who once
adorned the halls of Congress. They
are true too. and you will find these
little incidents all duly recorded at the
Capitol
Once. when Tom Reed was Speaker
of the House. a member from Illinois
argued most emphatically that man
even his political ones. After allud-
ing to certain well-known men who
had had the courage to do so, he ad-
ded: II honor them for it. An hon

AS for me, in the words of an emf

rather be right than be President

and then came the retort. in Reeds

the railroad tracks.
Add to that the fact that Roland
was always spotless in his knicker-
bockers and shirt-waist with a wide,
stiff, embroidered collar and you have
additional explanation of Buds an
tlpathy to the newcomer.
But there was still another reason
why Bud thought as he did about the
new boy" whose mother handicapped
him with a little Lord Fauntleroy
costume when he was at least three
years too old for such dress. And
that was the evening, several days
after his arrival, when Bud, backed
up by four of his admirers, ran into
him down by Green's drugstore, on
the outside of which they were loafing
and watching, with mouths that wa
tered, the people enjoying Ice cream
soda within the store.
Presently the new kid" Roland.
came along--bound, quite evidently.

Bud:

Roland stopped and looked at Bud
In amazement.
'See something green?" repeated
Bud. well, then-lick 1t up clean"
And the boys roared with glee, with
Bud. of course, leading in the jeers.

hearted fashion and asked as politely
as you please:

What's my name?" interrupted
Bud quickly, eager to show off before
the rest OF the boys. MY names

creek was not wide. the current was
very swift in mid-stream. The swim

where the bank had been cut out by
the wash of the water in the spring

provided a boy did not venture far
enough out to be caught in the cur
rent and carried out into deep water.
The boys Fad secured a thick plank
and weighted it down at one end with
heavy rocks; the other projected over
the water and formed an excellent
diving board. Farther down the

the bank curved out again. huge tree
had fallen across the creek. it's
branches extended far out into the
stream and. of course. were either
partly or wholly submerged.
In jiffy the boys had their clothes
off and were splashing around in the
water. That is, all but Roland who
seemed to be having some difficulty in
loosening his Lord Fauntleroy collar

But presently Roland, too. was In

prepared to run out on the spring

out Bud.
But alas. Bud was doomed to dis

Presently, they were able to reach

Then they dragged him up on the tree
and to safety.
And the rope?

had used was not a rope at all. 1t
