To Resume Atlanta Series

Atlanta, Ga, June 2.-After resting today-a vacation which was sadly needed by the visitors the Little Rock and Atlanta clubs will renew their hostilitieS tomorrow. While Little Rock would welcome a few open dates just now with the team in it's present crippled condition, Smiths men are eager to play the four games scheduled, as they figure that the bunch of Finn's will prove easier now than later in the season.
 Eyler will work for the visitors Monday and will probably be op- posed by Spade, although Ford or Zeller may be pressed into service. The Sunday lay-otf was especially appreciated by the twirlerS on the Little Rock team and as Eyler has not worked since the second game of the double header Thursday, he should be in shape. ROckentield'S ankle is improving and it is pos slble that the visitors will be able to display their full strength to- morrow. Page will doubtless be seen at second base, BOwcOck going to his regular position in right field. Page has so far re covered from his injury received In the Birmingham series that he worked out with the team be- lore Saturdays contest, but as Manager Finn did not wish to take any chances of having the little second baseman more seri- ously injured, he was kept out ot the game.

He Was Hard to Suit.

In Rumford Falls, Me, lives Jim Withee. one of the most popular land lords in the state also known by every horse dealer in New England. Several years ago Mir Withee bought in New York city for, small sum a horse. once valuable, but crippled by the pavements.
 The animal was taken to Maine where he was allowed to revel in pas lures soft and green, and soon was apparently sound as nut" His master then proceeded to sell him at . long price to parties who took him back to New York, where his ailments immediately returned, and the owners brought suit against Mir. Withee.
 At the trial the point on which the verdict seemed to hinge was as to whether or not MT. Withee was a horse jockey. Accordingly, the plain tiffs attorney gave the following cross-examination:
 MT. Withee. what is your occupa- tion?"
 Hotel keeper and farmer, suh. ho- tel keeper and farmer"
 Then you are not horse jockey?"
 No, suh, no, suh, no"
 MT. Withee. in the course of year about how many horses do you buy and sell?"
 "A hundred or two, may be"
 And still you maintain that you ara not a horse iockey3"
 No. suh. I'm no hoss jockey!"
 Then what is the reason that you handle so many horses?'
 Trying to find one to suit me. suh, trying to find one to suit me"

Something for You
 to Think About

In 1897 the Southwest Arkansas Tele- phone Go. started business in Prescott. At that time copper wire cost II 3-4 cents per pound. Now it is 25 cents. In spite of the increased cost of mater ials and operations the rates are no higher now than then.
 The local toll and farmer line ser vices reaches nearly every part of the county. The long distance service is splendid.
 If you do not now have telephone in your home or place of business you should have one installed al. once.

LUNATIC BROKERS.
That's WhQt the Curb Brokers Lo0k
Like 20 Strangers.

Almost every one in New York knows ABOUT
the open air stock market in Broad street just
off Wall street, where the curb brokers trans
act business throughout the year. 1t IS the
second largest stock market in the United
States, even If all it's transactions are carried
on in a roped-off space in the middle OF one
of the public streets.

PROGRESSIVE THOUGHT.
Its Progress IN England and in
America.

Progressive Thought is the cult which binds
together the members Of the Uplands Farms
Alliance at Recommendations and the fra
-e-nify has just been recruited by lecturer
from the Higher Thought centre" in London.
Miss Louise Stacey, who says that in England
the movement is called The Higher Thought
Both English and American members of the
cult have graduated from what was first called
the new thought" and lapse back TO the old
name in calling themselves and the disciples
of the movement New Thoughters."
Higher Thought" said Miss Stacey, is the
application of science and religion together,
and have just made of the world Iect-
wiring upon this subject and teaching people
how TO discern the inner meanings of the Bible.

intuition-impeed me 10 this New York colony

Other visitors to the summer school at OSca-

there that they might hear Miss Stacey lecture
on the inner meanings Of the Bible Miss Stacey
declares that. even the most wonderful book
in the world. the Bible is a far more Won
derful book than people imagine it TO be. In
its pages" said Miss Stacey. most persons
read histories. biographies. philosophers prophe-
cies religion. and never see the marvellous his

Il depicts. That is what the whole Bible con-
sists of-not the teachings that men Construe,

DEAF AND DUMB LANGUAGE.

This is pretty much what is done on any stock
exchange. but the curb market has another
feature that is not present in others of its kind
Orders are received as already explained, in the
Offices either side of the street Time is the
sence of the contract in all these deals. In two
seconds the price may go up down. The in
slant an order is received the wire the man
jim the street must have it, There IS no time to
send him word. and 10 shout to him from the
window would be worse than useless with the
racket that goes on all the time. To overcome
this difficulty a deaf and dumb language of
signs made with the hands and fingers is used

prearranged CALL unlike the other noises that I'LL

being thus attracted. the two get busy with their
hands and fingers. 1t takes only a second fer
the broker TO get his instructions in this In
geniOus manner. He charges the crowd about
him, shouting and making signs with his fln-
gers and hands that he wants 10 buy or sell,
and indicating at the same time what his offer
Is. Among this wildly shouting excited throng
small messenger boys dash hither and thlther,
receiving the memorandum slips noting deals
that have been closed. Then off they rush to
the office of the firm to have them recorded.
This is the way things done on the curb
market, but the scene itself beSgars description.
