Jack Diamond and Walter Durham
were recalling bygone incidents. Wal
ter had been telling some range tales
of the days down on the Brazos. Jack
was reminded of an outlaw stallion.
It had been driven in from the plains
into a corral, Jack said. 1t was q
magnificent animal, but SO fierce that
no one could do anything with it. FL
nally one of those amiable lunatic ten
derfeet appeared on the scene. He
took halter and walked up to the
dangerous beast. AS he went, he NUT
tered softly:
$50, bossy; so, bossy; so, bossy."
The stallion stood quietly and al
lowed the halter to be slipped over his
head without offering any resistance.
"You see," Jack explained, "the
horse was thoroughly cowed."
Some fellers air so dinged smart!

Smith says, and he was much interest
ed in rattle snakes, which he had
never seen. He asked all about them.
He was assured, however, that snake
would never strike without first
sounding the rattleS. One dav he was
sitting on a tie eating his lunch.
Looking down he saw a rattle-snake
coiled ready to strike. He lifted his
legs carefully, with the intention of
darting away on the other side of the
tie as soon as the snake sounded
warning. But just as his feet clear
ed the top of the tie, the snake struck,
just missing his foot. The Italian ran
like the devil was after him, yelling
over his shoulder:

ATLANTH'S GOOD WORK
FOR NEAR EAST CAUSE.
Churches OF That City Now Car
ing For 334 Orphans Of
Armenia

ATLANTA, May atlanta has
taken the Near East Relief to its
bosom and mas provided food and
shelter for 334 orphans of Armen-
ian war heroes and Christian mar
tyrs, announcement was made to-
day by Eugene R. Black, president
Of the Atlanta Trust company and
state chairman for his great hui
manitarian organization.
Returns which have just been
tabulated show that congregations
of the churches where Near East
Relief speakers on Sunday gave first
hand facts about this really little
known work gave $20,024 for this
work of merry. In many churches
this was the first time the hearers
had ever heard of the real facts
concerning the stricken Bible lands,
it is said.
The Atlanta Woman's club con
tributed $1,000 or enough 20 pro-
vide food, clothing, shelter and
education for rs children. These
children, it was explained, are all
that is left of the Armenian ma
ton and are being kept by the
American people from starvation
and are being built into the future
Armenia.
Georgia's quota is %40,G00 which
will provide for 1000. The Amer
lean people are supporting annually
10000. The Near East Relief IS
supervised by Congress and, accord
ing to reports of government
auditors collect and disburse funds
at only five cents on the dollar. This
is a record which they have chaI-
lenged every charitable organiza-
ton IN the world to equal.
The churches IF America,
through the Near East Relief, are
endeavoring to preserve the in
tegrity of the Bible lands, by keep
ing alive this remnant of the Amen
ian nation until such time as Eng
land, France and the other great
powers of the world put an end to
the systematic massacre of Chris
tians and destruction of industries,
Mr.. Black declared.
Fifty speakers, gathered from all
parts of the Southeastern states,
aided in the presentation of the
cause in Atlanta Sunday. Included
in those speakers were two native
Armenians, DR.. Isaac Yonan and
his son, who took part in the memoir
able siege of Baku' when the Armen-
ian lost three fourths of their army
in killed while keeping the Germans
away from the vast OF fields of
Mesopotamia.
