THE PASSING THRONG.

report upon the probability of an APP
preparation by the state legislature Tor
a Georgia exhibit at the exposition In
cidently he will doubtless talk with MEM
bers of both houses. He was yesterday
In conference with State Geologist
Yeates, and while at the capitol looked
over the exhibits there of Georgia's re-
sources.
1T seems to me that it would be q
terrible thing for Georgia not to be repre-
sented at our exposition said MT
Reeves. In speaking of the matter. THE
state possesses some wonderful resources
and the opportunity to show them to tho
world is an excellent one. Georgia and
Florida are the only two southern states
that have not already taken steps to be
represented a t the exposition. and the be-
lief Is strong In st. Louis that georgia
will be represented by a fine exhibit.
Georgia Is a great state. and Atlanta
Is a great city. The town has shown
marvellous growth, and l was surprised
when l stepped from the train the other
morning l have heard great deal or
the Atlanta spirit but | had no ldea
that it had developed such a cosmopol1-
tan and metropolitan city in the heart
Of the south. 1t is truly wonderful.
A well known short -hand reporter was
discussing the opportunities to make
money presented by his business. He
said:
Not many people know that two
stenographers got $4,000 for reporting the
proceedings Of the Pennsylvania coal
strike arbitration proceedings, but that
Is just what the Job was worth, and 1t
only took two men to do the shorthand
work They employed however. several
typewriters.
Il remember a convention which was
held In Atlanta several years ago at
which | enjoyed my work very much
and during which | made $50 day. l
have made more per day than that, but
the way we had the work systematized
made it especially pleasant There were
five of us stenographers on the job ana
we divided the work up into takes Oh
fifteen minutes each, which left each one
hour to transcribe his notes and did
not rush us at all. We got 500 day tor
the job and this We divided equally.
There is one peculiar thing about court
reporting or convention work You can
not find any particular line of work that
helps you to any great extent III fitting
you for these JOBS. A person simply has
to jump in and do them and while Office
work helps some. the principal thing de-
manded of the beginner in these heavier
lines is determination and a feeling Of re-
SponSibility."
Here Is a little advertisement that APP
peared in The London Times not long
ago. 1t is reproduced word for word:
"A young Polish lady who IS DESTROYS of
cultvatng her musical talents begs the
assistance of kind friends to enable her
to procure a piano which her parents can
rot afford to purchase. Address
'Jadwiga Janlna Bogus Tawska,
"PiotOkow Trybunalskl,
Utica MoskeWska dom Dolinskiogo,
poland"
When one thinks Of ali that poor Miss
Jadwiga, etc, etc, must nave suffered
at the christening, it does seem as
though some good Albanian ought to
hurry a piano PoIandward Immediately.
The Passing Throng man has for the
last two days been thrown with a very
large variety of people, including rail
road men, insurance men, professional
men. business men and those uufortu-
mates who are confined In the federal
prison. Upon his appearance in almost
every office or institution he was imme-
dately asked if he knew anything about
the condition of his holiness the pope.
And this too from men of quite differ
ent religious persuasions from the man
who is making so brave strusSle at
his home in the vatican at Rome.
Among them were those who still follow
the teachings of Moses ard the patrl-
archs of the Old Testament, but the So
licltous Inquiries were quite as earnest
