Miss Watkins was employed a ssteno-

At one time she lived at the Virginia hotel and for c few months was a guest at the Warner Tiotel. Mrs. Ida Watkins, the girl's mother, lives at 3571 Forrest avenue. Last night with the tears streaming down her face, 3he told the story of her daughter's struggle to obtain recognition as a white. "My child's misfortune was that she was born with a white skin and golden hair. Oh, how proud I was of my lit11. v.i . .

"Until my little girl was sixteen years old she always passed as a colored girl. Then a school mate put it Into her head that she could pass as a white girl, and she came home and told me that, while she still loved me, she wanted to be known as a white girl and asked me not to recognize her as my daughter. I thought my heart would break and we both cried for hours, but finally I saw that Lillian's happiness depended on the sacrifice and made it"

'How Could She db'ltf The homely forms of speech used by
the country people with whom little Edith and her mother boarded last
summer were frequently very puzzling
to tne cnua.
One evening the farmer's wife. la
talking for a few minutes with Edith's
mother, remarked that, as she was
very tired that night, she would "go to
roost with the chickens." When Edith's bedtime arrived a little later the youngster was nowhere to be found. After censiderable search she was discovered sitting on a large stone near the chicken bouse, quietly watching the fowl as they came in one by one. "Edith," called her mother, "what are you doing there? I've been looking for you everywhere; It's time to go to bed." "I know, mother," was the reply, "but they're nearly all In now, so she'll be here soon, I guess." "Who are In and who will be there? What on earth are you talking about child?" asked the mystified mother. "Why," explained Edith, rather impatiently, "you know Mrs. said she was going to roo6t with the chickens tonight, and I'm waiting to see how she does It"

Georgian Invites Fellow Lawmakers to Imbibe.
Atlanta, Ga., July 17. Although Georgia is a prohibition state, the "blind tiger" Is roaming in the capital and assaulting members of the legislature, which is In session. Durins the session of the senate yesterday a senator created a sensation by lurching
about the chamber and brandishing a quart bottle of a well-known brand of rye. He had reached the generous stage and vehemently urged his fellow senators to "take one" with him. Sev
eral senators eyed the bottle longingly, but no one was seen to drink. The
senator was taken in charge and boasted that he bought the whisky from a "blind tiger" in the capital and paid $3 for it. Prohibition senators are indignant and will demand investigation. They also talk of impeaching
the hilarious senator.
