WOULDN'T MIND GETTING
SHOT AGAIN THINKS BOY

ATLANTA, Ga. Jan. 6.-Lying in bed
with his head all bandaged where surg
cons extracted a % calibre rifle bullet,
little George Kennedy, II years old, of
this city, declares he wouldn't mind
getting shot again, provided of course
he was not fatally shot, if his boy and
girl friends would be as nice to him
again as they have been this time.
George had no idea what beautiful
thing is bouquet of flowers until the
lads and lasses of the neighborhood
came trooping into his room with
arms full to brighten and cheer him.
They have made him feel right i'm
rortant as he naively says himself.
While playing in the back yard of his
home with two friends, George was
shot in the right temple by an unknown
person who is thought to have been
killing sparrows and paying no atten-
ton to where the stray bullets went.

many deeds of daring and valor Some
OF them fought against Britain in the
Boer war and among them there are
several Americans who had made their
homes in the African mining fields.
One of the most thrilling exploits of
the South Africans was the recent act
OF young subaltern. During a night
operation he became separated from
his company and found himself inside
the German lines. After a time he
picked up six more men of his COM
pany who had become similarly de-

group found itself practically sur
rounded by Germans. The young sub
aitern found that his rife and those
of his comrades had become so clogged
With mud that they wouldn't work, but
he drew his revolver and as the first
German approached he shot him dead.
A German sergeant who started for
war was also killed, and as daylight
came two of the subaltern's compan-
ions got their rifles working and sue

the surrounding party and capturing
twenty-five. Forming their German

Is There Such
Alright to
Exist

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 6.-Has a wo-
man the right to smoke cigarettes in
public? Has she the right to smoke
them in priyate?,
moi" thunders. the Atlanta police
department in stentorian tone.
But the police have neither state law
uor municipal ordinance to back them
up, and it is an interesting question
what the courts would hold if some fair
damsel with a fondness for the nico-
tine stick should contest her rights.
Two girls living in highly respect
allie but not wealthy neighbohood, were
seen by neighbors to smoke cigarettes
in their rooms, and occasionally would
indulge themselves on the front veran-
dab of their home The neighbors re-
ported to the police, and by some pc
culiar process of reasoning the chief
turned the matter over to the vice
squad" for investigation, with the re-
suit that the girls and their parents
were notified that they must move, or
else the cigarettes must go.
In northern cities, and even as far
south as Baltimore. the most exclusive
hotels not only permit but encourage
women patrons to smoke, and at many
bridge parties and other social func-
tons in the north cigarettes are passed
around as a matter of course
But, at the present writing, if a lady
should light a cigarette in the dining
room of an Atlanta hotel it is probable
that the police vice squad and the
TIRE department would both be called
cut by a riot call"
