CAUSE FOR DAMAGE
NOW BEING HEARD

In the court of record yesterday, an
action for $4,000 in damages brought
by Prince and Mandy Perdue, for al
legged personal injuries, against the

was called for trial, and had advanced
to the argument stage when the court
took a recess. 1t was then 5 o'clock,
and Judge Monroe after consulting
with attorneys. adjourned court un-
til 10 o'clock this morning. 1t was
understood that counsel for the plain
tiffs offered to submit the case with
out argument, but this was not salts
factory to the other side.
Mandy Perdue, one of the plaintiffs,
the wife of the other one named in
the action against the railway COM
pany, is hard of hearing, and it was
with some difficulty that she was
questioned. It was alleged that while
walking along the G. F. & A. line
near Muscogee, some months ago, q
motor car, said TO have been in charge
of j. P. Lynaham, struck and injured
her very badly. She is said to have
made move to get off the track, and
the truck was slowed down. Wher
the truck was speeded up it was re-
ported to have hit the woman anG
threw her a considerable distance
This is the basis of the action, it is
said.

George Beban in The Bond Between
In the forthcoming Pallas-Para-
mount production of "The' Bond Be
tween" IN which George Beban will
be seen at the Isis on Saturday, it is
necessary in several scenes for q
young woman to pose as Venus. A
Venus was secured and when called
for the scene, stuck her nose out of
tn edressing room door into the cold
air and promptly refused to do any
'sVenusing" that day unless she could
do it in a sealskin overcoat. Several
methods were suggested as to how to
keep the young lady warm while the
picture was being secured, and finally
Mr.. Beban hit upon the brillian tidea
of taking stove and putting a nice
drape over it and letting the young
lady stand on it.
This was done without informing
the prospective Venus. Barefooted
she stepped on the disguised pedestal
and instead of assuming the classic
pose Of the famous statue, he exc
Cuted a more or less artistic version
of the Highland fling as she leapec
to cooler spots. Her feelings were
injured as well as her feet, and she
promptly resigned while the engaging
department went in search of less
temperamental and more fire-prooi
classic.

Ny Friends Of The Journal:


| have never written for a
newspaper before, and / am
now only addressing those who
are not critical, scholarly
scribes.
I have chosen this medium
through which to thank my
rector, the Rev. John FL. Brown,
for paying the tribute from his
pulpit to Gypsy Smith on the
Sunday ending Mr.. Smiths first
week in our town. Such COM
mendation from one whose Life
amongst us merits our respect
and confidence in his opinion. |
Immediately went to hear Mr..
Smith; from that night could
not miss a service.
My feeble pen cannot express
what we gained from listening
to his lessons related in the
voice of tragedy, comedy and
the dramatic. We all drew
strength from them in relation
TO the duties of life in society,
the church, the business office,
school, and the home.
We are all happier and bet
ter for the harmony created in
orr thoughts gained from lis
tening to the songs; there was
no place for the discordant
note.
How typical of the spirit of
Christ was the vision left on
our eyes on his last night-in
reality amidst countless thous-
ands of waving handkerchiefs,
but they made one believe them
to be myriads of white birds
representing peace and love.
None of the material handshak-
ing and 5able of voices.
May we long remember and
be better for the visit of
Christ's messenger - Gypsy
Smith.
Sincerely,
BERTHE SMITH.

If you've been doing the one-step un-

minuet or some other reasonably up

Cogan, who is here on visit told
Broadway he had danced the one-step
as far back as So years ago-and. in
fact, had invented 1t himself. The
other night Cogan strolled down the
great white way to renew memories
of the city and chance led him into
big restaurant along the Rlalto, where,
after a few minutes of destination he
was persuaded to try his hand-that
is, feet, of courSe-at dance. What
was his surprise to find he could not
only do the One-step but could do
it as well as any of those on the floor.
And then he discovered the one-step
was really not new ut all. Il danced
that as far back as forty years ago."
he declared. "In fact, invented It,"

DOG FULL OF TRICKS
BUT THIS PUP is AN ELECTRICAL
AFFAIR.
Invented by John Hays Hammond and
3. r. Meister-Controlled by Light
Rays II Will Do Many Inter-
esting Things.

In the Popular Science Monthly ap-
Meister, describing the famous electric
dog which was invented by the author
In collaboration with John Hays Ham,
mond, Jr. In speaking of the tricks of
his mechanical pet, the writer says:
"The electrical dog, which John
Hays Hammond, Jr., and l designed,
has no tail to wag and no voice to
bark with, but he can follow person
about in most surprising way.
Like the sunflower that follows the
my first apparatus was capable of
turning itself only to face the object
that stimulated it. But q great diff
Guilty had to be overcome. The stimu.
liant was light, and sometimes the dog
saw too much light. so that he be-
haved occasionally in an astonishingly
erratic manner.
"Just how grave a difficulty this dis
obedience really it, was illustrated by
an amusing incident during a demon
stration at Chicago theater.
"The dog was ready to spring into
action, but when the stage was lighted,
instead of obeying the flashlight held
in my hands, the dog insisted on pay
ing attention to very alluring but
not thickly clothed young woman
painted on the scenery near by. 1t
seems that the reflected light from the
painting was sufficiently brilliant to
compete with the fiashlight and to
cause the dog to creep to this fairer at
traction with a directness which was
almost uncanny.
"To all practical intents and pur-
poses, the electrical dog is dead dog
until excited by an external light ray
usually pocket flashlight, held in the
hand. Fastened to the front of a squat,
oblong box on three rollerlike wheels,
are two great lenses, the eyes through
which the dog receives his intelli-
gence. Behind the lenses are two
extremely sensitive cells containing the
black, waxlike selenium. A popularity
of selenium is that it is sensitive
only to light rays; or, to put the facts
little more technically selenium is
nOnconductor of electric currents I'M
til it is struck by light, when it be-
comes a conductor. Located behind
the selenium eyes is an arrangement
of relays, batteries, magnets and
motor. When a beam of light strikes
one Of the selenium cells, it causes Il
relay to be operated which, in turn,
causes current to flow through one of
the magnets controlling the steering
wheel. The driving motor starts and
the dog is under way. Shift the light
so 1t strikes the other selenium eye and
the dog moves in the other direction.
In other words, in whichever direction
the light travels there also will the
dog go. BY reversing a switch on the
outside of the box, the dog can be
made to back away from the light. II
Illuminating both cells equally causes
the dog to move in straight line.
