Tries Phone Settlement

At all events, Miss Wood did not
appear. and when her case was ca
the patrolman explained the whole
matter to Magistrate Barlow. Inc
magistrate instructed ar attache 10
cali the Wood home on the phone. a
man who is said to have been MISS
Woods brother, home on furiough
from border duty with the militia,
asked the court IL the matter could
not be adjusted by telephone, because
of Miss Woods social prominence,
'If Miss Wood does not present her
self here this afternoon we Will send
a policeman after her." replied the
court.
could not be continued until this morn
ing. and. on his promise that MISS
Wood would appear at that time,
Magistrate Barlow made out second
summons and sent it over TO the mousse
by Patrolman Barry.
Commissioner Woods said he first
learned Of the affair from clipping
from an afternoon paper. g,
81 have a cousin by that name, he
laughed, "but. unfortunately, | have
never been introduced to the dogs.
She is, by the way very fine young
woman. She is a second or third
cousin. I believe, although you Will
notice her name has not the final s.
"As far as ! can see from the facts
here stated, the policeman was en-
tirelv within his duty, and there Is
no action for me to take in the mat
ter. Miss Wood probably never saw
summons in her life before and
didn't realize what it was"
Miss Wood, who is nineteen years
old and a daughter of Chalmers WOOD,
a LAWYER, at 81 William Street. could
not be found at her home or at BAR
nard College, where she is student;
"Nlv daughter is not at home and
will not be tonight" said Mrs. Wood,
her mother. "She has nothing TO say
and will not give out an interview
rs all a terrible mistake, that's all.
WHY. look at Tiny, there. Does ne
appear to be such a ferocious animal
tbat he must be muzzled for the public
safety" -,
Tiny wagged his tail meekly in cor
roboration.
Did Miss Wood tear up the paper
Yes. she did. On second thought, she
didn't. DID she say she was Commls-
sioner Woods's cousin? She might
have. No, she wouldn't have done
that. She had been told never to do
that.
Who had called up Magistrate Bar
low on the phone? Why, that was
Miss Woods brother. a second lieu
tenant in the National Guard, home
on a furlough. Really it was all a
mistake. Don't you seer Commls-
eioner Woods is a cousin. Why. even
Judge Barlow is related TO the family.
The officer was very nice. He had
apologized, and had said he wished
"he had turned his head the other
way" rather than have caused all this
trouble.
But on this last question, Patrol,
man Barry, with whom Mrs. Wood
claimed not even the most distant re
lationship, was extremely reticent.

Ignorant Of the significance OF the
whole proceeding. Tiny welcomed with
a Joyous bark the blue-coated stranger
who called yesterday at the home OF
his mistress. Miss Mary Appleton
Wood, Of 1893 Park Avenue. II he had
been gifted with other than n canine
memory he would have recalled the
visitor as Patrolman Barry, Of the
health squad. who had stopped him,
his mistress and his fluffy white
Scotch terrier playmate during their
Monday morning stroll along flith
Avenue. He would have remembered
according to Barry's report to Magis-
trate Barlow, in the Horkvllle COURT
that the patrolman handed Miss Wood
summons to appear in court for vio-
lating an ordinance in failing to pro-
vide her two dogs with muzzles.
He would have recollected, again ac-
cording to Barry, that Miss Wood had
demanded the meaning OF the wnole
affair and that the patrolman had IN
formed her she must appear IN court
Then he would have recalled the I'M
natient stamp Of mis- mistress's 1901
as she tore up the paper, flung the
bits fluttering 10 the gutter and an
nounced imperiously that she was
cousin of Police Commissioner Woods
and had no intention OF answering MS
silly summons.

AS a Matter of Information.

For the information of some of our valued
contemporaries that seem to be interested
but are uninformed The News will state as
a fact that the prison commission was in no
sense a party to a promise that is said to
have been made to pardon T. E. Stripping.
At least one of the commissioners, we can
not speak for all, did not hear the alleged
promise made. but was told of it few min
utes afterward In view of many newspaper
stories it will no doubt also be of interest
to the public to know that Mr.. Stripping,
while suffering considerable mental torture,
weighs 175 pounds or more, has rudy
complexion, eats regularly and is apparently
in good health
This case is being handled just as all 9TH
ers, and will neither be hurried or delayed.
There are 5000 prisoners in the Georgia
penitentiary and several hundred Of them
have applied for clemency and are as much
entitled to consideration in their regular or
der.
The public may be misled and deceived for
a time, but not always

Wrong Side of Things

What lot of pleasure some people ap-
pear to derive from looking at the wrong
side of things. They are certain that moth
ing can be absolutely good in itself, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. If there is no evil in
it that meets your eye it is only because it
is hidden. Don't you imagine you are going
to be happy and enjoy yourself. If you do
so for a short time be sure it is only so that
you may be the more miserable afterwards.
1t is extraordinary how ingenious these
folks are in discovering something rotten
to the core" They won't rest until they
have made that delightful discovery.
A celebrated lawyer had an acquaintance
who was a man of that kind. Suddenly he
came into a fortune left him by an uncle Of
whom he had hardly heard. At first he
would not believe the news. Then he was
certain the will must be bad. But every
thing seemed to conspire to make him happy
against his wish. The bequest was valid.
The good gold about which there could be
no deluson awaited him in the bank. 1t
really seemed as if, by no hook or crook,
could he escape coming to the conclusion
he was a remarkably fortunate individual.
But he managed it at last. He was AZ.
Now, if that old gentleman had thought
fully died 20 years before how much more
he might have done with the money!
81 should have been a judge by now" he
said. LAS it is, here l am. It's too late to
begin now. Things never happen as they
ought"
The captain OF one of the Atlantic liners
used to laugh heartily-and he could laugh,
too-over an experience with passenger
he once carried over "the ferry The man
somehow managed to slip overheard, and
was only saved through the heroism Of one
of the crew who plunged in after him. Safe
and sound once more the other folk on
board expected him to be full of joy at his
narrow escape.
But no word broke from his lips to lead
them to judge that he would not have been
as happy at the bottom of the ocean. He
retired to his bunk, and, drawing the blan-
kets over his head, proceeded to groan in a
perfectly distracting manner. At last
passenger suggested a solution. The wretch
ed man must have something on his con-
science and be tortured by the reflection Of
what an awful thing it would have been
if he had been drowned before putting
things right
SO a clergyman on board proceeded to
tackle him. He pointed out how rejoiced
he ought to be at being saved from watery

Revising Our Opinions.

Evidently We must occasionally pause to
revise our opinions regarding what we have
heard as to atrocities practiced in Europe
We learn from one side derogatory reports
regarding the other only to be surprised
later by an announcement that the alleged
guilty combatants are not as black as they
have been painted.
The manner in which the Russians treat
their prisoners has, for a long while, been
a delicious morsel under the tongues of
those who abhor the Russians. The prison
ers, we have been told, were starved, beaten
and sent into horrible exile where every
inhumanity devisable was practiced.
Now comes the intelligence that thous-
ands of Austrian prisoners in Russian hands
are saving money out of the wages allowed
them as laborers that some are establish
ing bank accounts and sending money home.
Well, we'll! And this from what has
been termed 'inhuman vultures" and "un-
civilized hordes of the car

VARIOUS THINGS
Youths Vanished JOYS.

We hear it asked, what has become
OF olden-time ton pone;
Of mammys beaten biscuits with
The flavor all their own;
But would they taste as good again
If they were served tonight?
Would memory make up, perchance,
For jaded appetite?
That chicken Maryland we knew
In golden bygone days
Seems to have lost its flavor now.
The pies that mother used to make,
So faky and so light,
Go we'll in verse-but would they temp
The jaded appetite?
And thus in reminiscent vein
One might ask what's became
Of this and that t'other thing
Of doughnuts, and then some.
They live but in the memory
AS visions of delight;
We couldn't eat them now because
We lack the appetite.

piemaker can only be charged with
violation of the prohibition law when the

The New Year.

VIII the New Year bring peace?
Peace in Europe will be the greatest gilt
the new year can bring to the world. Inc
armies of the allies and Teutons have been
locked in battle so long that the world has
become almost callous Every day we have
read in the news dispatches accounts of nor
ribIe fighting Today forty thousand men
were wiped out Yesterday whole battal-
ions were decimated The day before thou
sands of men were caught in trap and kill
ed Reports state that Germany's list of
killed totals over 1000, 900. Beautiful cit
les and priceless works of art have been
RACED. Helpless women and children have
been driven by the enemy from their homes
and starved or thrown on the mercy of the
charitable. No longer are we affected by
the horror of these dispatches. Our minds
have refused to grasp the tremendousness
of it, and we read the war news with hardly
more of thrill than we get from a sensa-
tional murder. Recent dispatches from Eu-
rope have emphasized the peace note. Ger
man socialists, apparently, are demanding
that something be done to end the Slaugh-
ter. Austria likewise is ready for peace-1n
all probab il+ has been for some time. 1t
is not unlikely that France and England
despite their assertions to the contrary,
would be amenable if proper terms could
be obtained. The neutral world is crying
for peace. Will the new year bring it?
Nineteen sixteen will hold much for the
United States in the way of prosperity and
progress We have reached a period of con-
struction which will begin this year. Many
serious problems are before the people for
solution, and the tendency is to ignore radi-
calism and to concentrate our efforts on
safe and sane policy. But Of all the gifts
which the new year may have in store for
US the greatest would be peace in Europe.

lust Professional jealousy.

Billy Sunday, when asked to comment on
the Ford excursion to Europe, delivered
himself to this effect: 81 think when Ford
put over this advertising stunt P. T. Barnum
turned over in his grave and said, I've got
to hand it to you. Henry; you've got me
skinned
This is the opinion of an expert on adver-
Using, and will carry great weight with the
knowing ones It will be admitted that
what the Rev. Billy does not know about
the advertising business is not worth while
learning But it fills us with regret to see
a celestial mind like his give way to petty
professional jealousy.

Pneumatic Turkeys
From the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Human ingenuity usually rises equal to
any test. For many years no strain was
put on the wits of dealers in things to eat,
for there are no government penalties for de-
ficient weights. But since city and state gov
ernments have taken the matter Of weight
inspection in hand ingenuity has been re-
quired in getting that slight advantage OF
the purchaser which represents the profits
of many businesses.
In New York the inspection of butcher
shops on Christmas eve brought new prac-
tees into light Weights had not been tam
pered with, but turkeys were frequently
weighed while their legs were held on the
scales in such a manner as to make them
heavier. In one case turkeys of large and
solid appearance were offered for sale which
lost bulk on picking 1t was discovered
that they had been pumped full of air, just
as if they were motor tires.
is this the new fraud which the public
must face? Will it be necessary for us
whenever we buy a fowl not only to go
through the old tests but to press 1t as well
to see whether it has been blown up? When
we think of the trials of housekeepers we
are inclined to welcome the approaching
age of food tablet dinners.

Dumping,

Congress has a serious problem to, face
in providing adequate laws against dump
ing" Dumping is the selling Of product
in a foreign country at a lower price than
it is sold at home. In the rebuilding of Eu-
rope which must follow the war, the Unit
ed States in all probability will be the OBJ
ject of dumping campaign by foreign ma
lions. If this should happen the markets OF
this country would be demoralized. The
United States is rich. Foreign nations, bro
ken in fortune, by every trick Of trade will
attempt to rebuild their fortunes at the ex-
pense of the United States. Canada, South
Africa and Australia have laws to prohibit
dumping. The necessity for adequate laws
for the United States is an immediate one.

Pay-Up Week
From the Boston Globe.

In some of the smaller cities, where GER
tain obseryances are kept with greater faith
fulness than they are in the large towns,
the plan of having pay-up week has been
carried through with success. 1t is true that
a great deal of money is owed throughout
the community and that a good deal of it
could be paid were the will of the debtors
touched. Long credits must. in the end,
mean bad business. They also mean more
expensive living.
It is now proposed to have pay-up week.
During that week efforts are to be made to
get everyone to settle his bills. Boston is
by no means city of spendthrifts, but many
a merchant here or near here is compelled
to sit upon the anxious seat because of the
This should not be.
Why not make a new start Hpon the first
of the year? 1t is the time for new starts.
Paying-up is a most practical way Of prov
ing both to oneself and to the rest Of the
and kept.

Notwithstanding vigorous assaults that
have been made upon him by his political
enemies Mayor Woodward, of Atlanta, has
evidently lost none of his popularity the
effort to recall the Honorable woodward
and five members of the police board for
removing Chief of Police Beavers from Of
flee was a signal failure, the voters sustain
ing these officials by a majority of two TO
one. That Western populistic fad the re-
call, has not taken much of a hold in the
conservative South, and the surprise is that
a city like Atlanta should have such pro-
vision in it's charter.

town." asked citizen the other day IN
discussing the value of the keep-money-at-
home movement He argued that if a man
lives in small town and gets his living
there he ought to patronize the stores OF
that town rather than go off to some larger
town or city every time he wants to buy
