|. 7. COOPER, THE
PHILANTHROPHIST,
VISITS ATLANTA
RENOWNED MAN GIVES LARGE
PART OF INCOME EACH YEAR TO
CHARITY - HELPS POOR OF
MANY CITIES.

Not in recent years, perhaps, has the
coming of any public character arous-
ed such widespread interest as did the
visit of L. T. Cooper, the millionaire
philanthropist, to Atlanta recently.
Mr.. Cooper is described as one of
Americas foremost leaders of advanc-
ed thought, and sprang into fame and
fortune through his new health theo-
RES, based on what is known as
the Tanlac treatment. He is man Of
rare talents, magnetic force and charm
Of manner He never ceases to sur
Irise you with the infinite variety of
lis knowledge and it's absolutely cor
rectness and thoroughness. In sew
eral of the larger cities, especially
throughout the South, he has done
great deal of relief work among the
poor.
Mr.. Cooper is firm believer in prac-
teal philanthropy, and his relief work
in Atlanta is already familiar to the
charity workers of that city. During
his recent visit there he distributed at
the Piedmont Hotel, under the per-
sonal direction of leading charity
workers, eleven hundred ready-made
dresses of excellent quality to the
poor women and children. Ladies'
prominent in Atlanta social life and
many prominent citizens were on hand
early in the afternoon to assist in CO.
operating with Mr., Cooper in this
worthy cause
A few weeks previous to this he per-
formed a similar service in Birming-
ham and donated one thousand dresses
to the poor of that city. Similar dona-
tons were made also in Nashville,
Chattanooga and Knoxville, and his
establishment of the now famous free
bread line" in Louisville during the
past winter, where he distributed fifty
thousand loaves of bread absolutely
free and without question to those in
want proved a revelation to charity
workers there. In fact, in practically
every city Mr.. Cooper has visited he
has always shown his great sympathy
for the poor and unfortunate by per-
forming some unique act of charity.
Mr.. Cooper contends that nine-tenths
of the diseases and ill-health of the
present-day American is due to faulty
digestion and improper assimilation of
the food which finally produces a
stuffed-up condition of the vital or
gans.
1t has been said that Tanlac, his
celebrated medicine, which is now ac-
complishing such remarkable results
throughout the country, not only
quickly overcomes all catarrhal inflam-
acts directly in the correction of the
stomach, liver, kidney and intestinal
disorders.
Tanlac as has been so convincingly

Meaning Misintepreted.

This is the Interpretation which the
press of the state has been consistent
ly putting upon the law, and the news
paper men who had failed to make APP
parent a careful study of it are, per-
haps, somewhat responsible for the
general impression that has gone
abroad regarding it.
This pre-conceivved and much cher
ished notion as to the amount obtain
allie drinkkables even under radical
prohibition, received a rude shock this
week in the announcement made by
Senator A. S. ]. Stovall, who, if not
the author of the bill, is at least the
father of it, as that measure passed
the senate. This mistake which the
newspaper and public have made, ac-
Ccrding to Senator Stovall, is in using
the conjunction and" instead of the
distinctive COR" In other words, as
Senator Stovall points out, the law
permits the receipt by any individual
of two quarts of whisky per month, or
four quarts of wine, or 4S pints Of
beer. The individual may elect either
one of these he chooses, buth he can
not have any two or all of them, &C
ccrding to the terms of this measure.
If they should be found upon the prem
ises he could be called upon under the
omnibus law to explain their presence.
This presence would be taken under
the law as prima faciae evidence of
possession of liquors for unlawful pur-
poses, regardless of the habits and
capacity of the individual in ques-
ton.

ton it makes a difference to the aver
age Georgia consumer of "joy" bever-
ages amounting possibly 10 two jags
a month, or the equivalent thereof.
Translating the foregoing, it may be
stated that in connection with the anti
shipping prohibition bill recently pass
ed by the legislature and signed by the
governor, there was general belief
prevalent through the state that it per-
mitted the receipt monthly by each in
dividual of maximum of two quarts
of whiskey and four quarts of wine and
4S pints of beer. Although this would
lave been a pretty respectable amount
of drinkables for the average Georgian,
ct least those of ordinarily temperate
habits. Even those who have been ac-
customed to keeping liquors in their
homes and at times entertaining their
friends, thought the measure allowed
them ample leeway.

tween his daughter, Judith, and his
first lieutenant, Marrophat
1t was no facile task: Marrophat
could not be trusted to work with
single mind because of his infatuation
for Judith; Judith could no more be
trusted faithfully to serve out her vow
to bring Alan Law to her fathers feet,
alive OF dead, because-O cruel irony
of Fate!-she herself had fallen in
love with that same man whose death
she had pledged herself to compass.
only when, as now, half mad with
jealousy, determined to see Alan dead
rather than yield him to the woman

counted upon to serve her father in
his lust for vengeance as he would be

She saw him rein in suddenly, dis

At the same time Hopi Jim and Mar

Constrained to do likewise lest she

The explosion smote dull echoes
from the tanks of the Painted hills,
all browsing in the MONDAY hush:
the boulder teetered reluctantly on the
brink, then disappeared with tear
ing sound followed by a rush of earth
and gravel; wide gap appeared in
the brink of the trail.
Leaving Marrophat to hold the two
frightened horses while the girl

the edge, threw himself fiat and sWora
bitterly, with an accent of grievance,
as he rose.
From the canyon below dull noise
of gallOping hoofs advertised too plain

And Hopi Jim turned back only to
find Judith mounted, refining her horse
in between him and Marrophat, and
prepared to give emphasis to what she
had to say with an automatic pistol
that nestled snugly in her palm.

Once she had lost touch with her IA
theirs creatures, the girl drew rein
and went on more slowly and eau
tiously.
Below her, in the valley, the lower
trail wound its facile way. From time
to time she could discern upon some
naked stretch of its length cloud of
dust, or perhaps three mounted fig
ures, scurrying madly On with fear of
death swapping at their heels
1t was within an hour of midnight,
a night bell-clear and bitter cold on
the heights, and bright with moon
light, when Alan's party made its last
pause and camped to rest against the
dawn, unconscious of the fact that, a
quarter of a mile above them, on the
upper trail, lonely woman paused
when they paused and made her own
camp on the edge of sharp declivity.
The level shafts of the rising sun
awakened her. She sat up, rubbed her
eyes, yawned, stretched limbs stiff
with the hardship of sleeping on I'M
yielding, sun-baked earth-and of a
sudden started up, surprised by the
grating of footsteps on the earth be-

Before she could turn, however, she
was caught and wrapped in the arms

In time, thrust it aside and subjected

And now all hint of mercy left his
eyes; remained only the glare Of rage.
He put forth all his strength in turn,
and Judith was as a child in his hands.
In half a minute he had her helpless,
in as much time more her back was
breaking across his knee, while he
bound her with loop after loop of his
rawhide lariat.
Then, leaving ner momentarily
supine on the ground, Hopi Jim caught
and unhobbled her horse, and without
troubling to saddle it, lifted the girl
to its back, and placed her there, face
upward, catching her hands and feet,
as they fell on either flank of the ami
NAL, with more loops of that unbreak-
able rawhide, and deftly placing the
master knot of the hitch that bound

simultaneously, as if taking the shot
as the signal for fusillade, Judith
saw Alan lean back over his horses
rump and open fire.
An instant later his companion, Bar.
Gus, initiated his example.
In immediate consequence, Texas
dropped reins, slumped forward over
the pommel, wabbled weakly in his
saddle for moment, then losing the
stirrups, pitched headlong to the
ground; while Hopi Jim's horse
stopped short, precipitating his rider
overhead, and dropped dead.
