But Miss Whinnery still is in Jail,
by choice.

$50 fine Friday, has departed from the
Their Shaw, of Colquitt, Ga. Miss
Whinnery had something to say about
that, too, but was inclined to be gen.
erous rather than spiteful.

she asserted. Not that l don't care
for him. Ido-in a way. But he has

WAR URGED
On CLUBS

The proprietors of Atlanta locker
clubs, not TO mention a great number
of local politicians and lawyers. await
ed with interest Monday develop
ments from the prohibition meeting
at the Baptist Tabernacle Sunday aft
ernoon, where Seaborn Wright, Of
Rome. recommended, in a fiery ad-
dress, that the Capital City Club be
put out of business by injunction
as the surest method Of obtaining law
enforcement in the matter of liquor
traffic.
Don't mistake me-" the speaker
shouted. 81 am talking about the
most prominent club in Atlanta, with
the most prominent members! l say
That if you will, by injunction, put
these clubs out of business, your
problem will be solved. II You stop
the sale of liquor in your leading club,

YOU mean business, and they will shut

After peroration urging the re-
CORNERS to get after the white3
sepulchres," man arose and proposed
to be one of a hundred who would
each give $40 to make up a retainer
fee with which to get good lawyer
to prepare the injunction. Another
offered to be one of forty to raise the
money. Then, on a motion to signify
their stand, 80 per cent of the men
present arose, tacitly announcing that
they would send in their names.
In view of the enthusiasm at the
meeting, it is generally believed that
the locker club question will come to
a showdown within the year.
In the face of bitter opposition by
large religious element in the city,
the Police Committee practically has
decided to renew the licenses Of all

The Rev. H. NJ. DuBose, pastor of
'he First Methodist Church, who led

Police Committee, has announced that
the people he represents are not sat

even before the meeting Sunday that
the matter might be taken to the

WHERE OUR FLAGS ARE MADE
Work Is Done Mostly by Women
Though Few Men May Cut Out
Stars and Do the Finishing.

In the Equipment building at the
New Pork navy yard there is a large
mandatory, where most of the flags
of our navy are made. A large yes
sci carries 40 American flags, and
smaller vessel almost as many. This
does not include the fleet and inter
national signal flags, and the flags OF
other countries.
There are rooms in the Equipment
building that are given up to flag
making One of these is very large,
and the others at either end are much
smaller There are sewing machines
scissors, pincushions and flat-irons
scattered around, so that the place
does not look unlike a patriotic dress

all made by women, though few
men help to cut out the stars and dc
the finishing. The wind and weather
destroy flags so fast. and new vessels
are put into commission so rapidly,
that it is necessary to employ mum
Der of people even in time of peace
The working hours, during the late
war, were extended from eight O'Clock
In the morning to five o'clock in the
evening. In one week 1900 flags
were made at the flag department
and this was when the rush of work
was about over. The women cut all
the square flags and the devices for
them. The men cut the stars and
bias pennants, and put on the finish
ing touches and the heading through
which the rope runs. They also put
in the rope, and stencil the flag with
the size and nationality.
There is pattern for every flag
and the patterns are put away In
paper bags when not in use There
are A flags in set of general sig
nails used in the navy. These are In
three sizes, while the regular flag IL
made in nine sizes. The largest flag
measures 36 feet long. while the
smallest Is only 80 inches. Pennants
are made up to 70 feet long. There

CHAPTER l..

T OUR cowboys inclined their
ELL bodies over the barbed-wire
MI fence which marked the d.
~ viding line between the Cen
fSE tipede Ranch and their own.
A~A staring mournfully into a
"a summer night such as only
$ the far southwestern coun-
-S try knows. And as the four
inclined their bodies, they
inclined also their ears, after the
strained manner of listeners who
feel anguish at what they hear. A
voice, shrill and human, pierced the
night like a needle, then, with a
vail Of tortured soul, died away
amid discordant raspings: the voice
OF phonograph. 1t was their own,
or had been until one over-confident
day, when the Flying Heart Ranch
had staked 1t as wager in a foot
race with the neighboring Cent?
pede, and their own man had been too
slow. AS it had been their pride, 1t
remained their disgrace. Dearly had
they loved, and dearly lost 1t. 1t
meant something that looked like
honor, and though there were ten
thousand thousand monographs, in all
the world there was not one that could
take its place.
The sound ceased, there was an ap-
proving distant murmur of mems
voices, and then the song began:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
Lift up your voice and sing"
Higher and higher the voice mount
ed until it reached again its first thin,
ear-splitting pitch.
Still Bill" Stover stirred uneasily
IN the darkness.
'Why'n'ell don't they keep her
wound up?" he complained. "Galla.
gher's got the soul Of wart-hog. It's
criminal the way he massacres that
hymn"
From a rod farther down the wire
fence Willie answered him, in a boys
falsetto:
II wonder If he does 1t to spite mel?
~He don't know you're here" said
Slower.
The other came out of the gloom
. little stoop-shouldered man with
spectacles.
81 amt noways sure" he piped
peering up at his lanky foreman
"Why do you reckon he allus lets
Mrs. Melby peter out on my favorite
record? He done the same thing last
night 1t looks like an insult"
TITS nothing but his ignorance,
Slower replied. "He don't want no
trouble with you. None of 'em do"
I'D like to know for certain" The
small man seemed torn by doubt. "If
I only knew he done it a-purpose, I'd
git him. / bet l could do it from
here"
Stover's voice was gruff as he com.
nanded:
Forget it! Amt it bad enough for
