Frank Curry, of Butts. is running for
the senate from his district He will be
remembered as the judge who held court
at Indian Spring on a certain Monday
morning at two minutes after midnight
and fined some five or six poker players
who had been engaged in the game of
draw for nearly fifty hours. The affair
became a state sensation apd for a time
there was grave doubts as to the legality
of the court. A section of the code, how
ever, was found which authorized the trial
and grand jury of Butts county immed-
lately raised Judge Curry's salary. 1t is
said that one OF the main planks in his
platform for the senate will be in the
Indian Spring raid, as it is Familiarity
known. If Judge Curry is elected, he may
be a candidate for the presidency of the
senate.
Harvey Jordan. OF Jasper. has announc-
ed as a candidate for the senate from
his district, and if elected he may be in
the race for the presidency also. Mr.. Jor-
dan is known all over the south as an au-
ttArity on agricultural matters, and in ad-
dition is one of the ablest men in Georgia.
He has many friends who will aid him in
his coming race and under the rotation
system of electing senators, which system
makes il Jasper county's time to elect
the man. ". Jordan will no doubt receive
the endorsement of his county. This en-
dorsement means an election.

Of the appliance illustrated below
claims that it is positive cure for the
disease it is intended to treat, that of

The theory, as stated by William r..

is that hay fever is attended. by exces-
sive Inflammation of the mucous men,
brane of the nasal passages, some
times resulting in complete stoppags
of these passages by reason OF the

the little monkeys grow less and less

Our babies turn their backs on the

A Professional Charity Worker.

1.-The newest profession for women
is that of charity worker" remarked
a prominent club woman yesterday
''You needn't laugh. There really is
such a profession, and it. is new, and
if I were a young woman 1 would en-
ter into training for it, There is not
much competition as yet and the op-
portunities for studying charity work
are limited, but still it ls ROW posi-
BILE. New York has established train
ing school for charity workers, and it
is meeting with success The women
who enter are put into active service
at visiting under proper leadership and
then there are courses Of lectures upon
the different phases of the subject 1t
is quite worth entering from a finan-
cial standpoint, also. Philadelphia is
proverbially conservative. and yet we
pay the young woman at the head of
our organizing charities the salary CT
$4,000, and she can greatly supplement
it by lecturing and literary work upon
the subject of her profession. Other
cities do better than this and the time
is not far distant when 21l charitable
work will be conducted in a methodi-
cal manner by an expert, who win be

Stan, mering Children.

Stammering is so much on the in
crease in Germany that in the German
schools special course of instruction
has been started for children so af-
flicted. IN Berlin six specialists, en-
gagged by the Board of Education, de-
vote twelve hours a week to this work.
One and a half per cent Of all the
school children in Germany stutter. AS
in nearly all cases the difficulty in
speaking arises from a peculiar nerv-
Gus condition and is not due to any
physical ma!formation, the specialists
arc confident of being able to cure
nearly all the cases which they find.
The system of cure consists largely in
making the child speak slowly, in
teaching him low to properly use his
lips and tongue in forming words, an6
in correcting his nervousness. That
stammering can be cured has been real
lied since the time that Demosthenes
walked by the seashore declaiming
with a pebble in his mouth 1t is a
little singular that the Germans, who
have been supposed to be race rather
lacking in nervousness, should sudden
ly develop into a nation of Sufferers.
Perhaps the strenuous life into which
the Emperor has plunged the country
has been little too much for it's nerv-
Gus system.-New York Press.

THIS BRUlN WENT ON A SPREE.
Invaded a Dairy, Drank His Fill and
Was Happy.

The proverbial bull in a china shop
has found an imitator in a bear
which has been paying an unlimited
visit to an establishment where milk
is dispensed, but in order to relieve
Immediately any anxiety which might
be felt on the subject, l hasten to say
that bruin behaved extremely we'll,
and that no bones or crOckery were
broken. The bear was being exhibited
on one of the outlying boulevards
when it's owner, in an absent-mlnded
fit, relaxed his hold on the chain, says
Paris letter to the London I telegraph.
The animal took advantage Of this
situation to start on promenade, and
when the people who had gathered
around to witness the show bOlted
panic-stricken in every direction, II
pursued the even tenor CT its way until
it had reached the shop, at the doc;
Of which a pail of milk was standing.
1t seized the can in its paws, walked
into the establishment and squatting
comfortably in corner, drank off the
contents at one gulp.
When the owner Of the bear arrived
on the spot he found the worthy wo-
man who keeps the milk shop lying
prone on the floor behind the counter
in state Of abject terror, but othei~
wise not bit the worse for the ad-
venture. He patted bruin, who was in
an even more .amiable mood than
usual after the little feast to which he
had treated himself, duly paid the
bill which he had run up, adding
trifing sum to compensate the trades
woman for her fright with his grizzly
companion, who, during the remainder
OF the day, went through his evolu-
tions with even more zeal and energy
than he was won't to display, so that
VIXEN his owner finally wended his
way homeWard he discovered that he
had far exceeded his usual average Of
profits, and had more than recuperatel
himself for the money spent on the
milk.

the election of senator had brought
about such hard feelings. He then
took up the issue of the campaign and
related how the majority had been

began to squirm in their seats, and be.

ing downcast.
'You say that if We select a demo.
c7at who is suitable to you, you will
help elect him." he cried turning to
them. Who is this man. l demand? :?
Do you mean this statement. or is it
but miserable subtc:fugc, by which
you expect to wait until the last no.
ment and then betray our party? This
is your scheme, so it has been openly
stated in these halls, and you have not
had the courage to deny it. Do Cou

stituents, after having helped elect

who is suitable to you he will be
elected. You know that the man you

and l do not believe that the man for
whom l have been casting my ballot
can at this late hour be successful.
Now is your opportunity to prove
whether you are men or are cattle, to

some man, say, and prove your asser.

Everybody listened as if expecting
an answer, but none came, the mem.
bers to whom these burning remarks
had been addressed continued to car

look
"Who is hep repeated the speaker
The silence became painful, bat
still no reply was forthcoming. Just
as the awful quiet seemed to reach the
point where it was unbearable, a
shrill, sharp voice was heard.
"WAy don't you elect Hines?"
This seemed to strike the popular
chord, and great hurrah for the old.
time ex-governor went up from the
majority side. The members who
were supposed to have been purchased
looked upon that cry as their saliva:
tion, and they, too, took it up.
When the din had subsided. Axtell
raised his voice to it's highest pitch
and yelled to the clerk:
Record my vote for Hines"
The excitement quieted bit and
the vote proceeded. Every man who
had been elected with the majority
cast his vote for the big-hearted ex.
governor. At it's conclusion, amid a
deafening roar, the clerk announced
the result: Hines, 49,; Flaherty, 35..,

Egyptian Women.

The Egyptian beasts OF burden, the
camel, the OK, the donkey, have the
same patient look as the people. It
may not be improper to add another
beast of burden, woman. There is the
look of sad patience in every Egyp-
tian woman's eyes as in the melan-
choly river boiling at its great task
and in the face of the camel, the don
key and the OK. They all look at you
with the same expression of patience
They seem content to live, no matte,
the conditions of their often wretched
life-and not desirous of MAKING
change OR resistance. The long swine
of the camel, the measured stride o1
the OK or buffalo, the half-trot Of the
donkey are seen everywhere. The
woman's face is: covered, at least he1

woman may expose her mouth to the

result Of his investigations, he states
that II any navigate; sets his compass
from Cherbourg to the Lizard, without
knowing the variations of the magnet
that have occurred during the last five
or six years, he would run upon the
Manacles. The variation is bringing

THE PLA,lNG OF POINT EucnRE
New System OF Scoring in Prosxssssr.
and Its Advantages.


Advocates of progressive euchre se
form are now advocating a change iM
the system of scoring the game They
believe that the score should be cxraa-
puted by points and not by games, We
is generally done now
Point euchre, they say, is fecog-
nized by euchre players as the only
1alr way in which the game can fe
played, as each player receives credit
Tor all points made at each game
1t can be played at any progressive
euchre, either at home or in clubs
Excitement begins with the first laana
and continues until the last hand is
played. Many objectionaple features
or the old game are overcome in puiHs
euchre, as fast playing is one of the
essentials of the game.
A point euchre tally card is nuun-
bered from ! to 100. Each player has
a tally card and each receives The
number of points made at the end al
each game
For example, in the first game al
the head table one couple make /
points, the other side points. The:

game.
All other players receive punches
Tor the number Of points they have
made, while the head table players
were making their and some play
ers at the other tables may have
made as many as 10. points.
Should the head table players at
any time score more than points
they get credit for all they make over
., as, for instance, If lone hands are
played to count 4, two lone hands
would make q possible g.
The head table players should al
ways play as rapidly as possible, &c
prevent the other tables from making
high scores. All rules OF enchre an
