ON Attendance.

Despite wind and moving earth the
first workout of the season was in
dulged in Wednesday afternoon at the
local ball lot and start towards pre-
paration for the 1910 pennant tourna-
ment was made. Several of the players
were on hand and more are here to-
Gay. The workout was general batting
practice. infield and outfield practice
Being the program. The pitchers pres
ent took turns working on the various
catchers and everything moved along
in a lovely manner.
Among others Cooley has a couple of
young catchers who looked good yes
terday, everything considered. They are
Schmidt and Parks. Schmidt made an
especially good impression and after
his work behind the plate played short
during the practice. If he keeps up his
gait around the inf1eld he may work
himself out of a job behind the pan.
Schmidt is a stocky built youngster and
is full of ambition. Parks is bigger
than Hagerman and catches 'em nice
~. He has a good throw to second,
and tips them down two feet inside
and knee high with consistent regular
ity. Some of the players who saw
Parks work said he was the best look
ing man on the grounds
Hinde, an inf1eld tryout from the
wildS of Missouri played around the
third station. He ate everything that
was passed to him and sent his plate
back for more. Hinde sends 'em
across the diamond belt high and al
most raised Abbott off the sack with
some of them. Hinde looks good. so
far. and appears to be worthy. hard
working youngster. Cooley will watch
him for awhile.
Kahl ate things around the second
sack, his old territory. If Bobby can
only start and keep going on the same
order that he did the first two months
of last year he will produce more joy
than could be corked up in a tub full
of beer.
Abbott got one on the end of the
finger yesterday and has a nasty bruise
as a result The youngsters send 'em
in pretty hot at the start, when they
throw to first.
Cooley played short for 1872 minutes.
During this time he walked to deep
center after two, stopped two grounders
which he threw almost to Abbott, and
finally benched himself for booting
couple.
The list of the players at the work
out included Maxey, Frazier, Schmidt,
Henry and Parks. catchers; Kaufman
and Roberts, pitcflerss Abbott, 1Kahl
and Hinde, inf1elders: Landreth, out
fielder. By tonight it is expected that
all of the squad, with two or three ex-
ceptions, will be present.
Kerns and KunlxIe Arrive.
Among the latest arrivals destined
for Cooley's pirates are: Kunkle, third
base; Miller, outfield, and Kerns,

Albuquerque, n M, March "a
The past week has witnessed scenes
of great activity at Flagstaff, where
are located the camps and outfits of
the L. J. Smith Contracting company,
who will do the grading for the dou-
bic track between Flagstaff and Will
liams. The outfits consist of steam
shovel, small engines and cars for
hauling dirt from the cuts to fills,
some hundred teams OF mules, besides
scrapers, plows and all that goes to
make up a we'll ordered railroad con-
struction camp. The contract calls
for the grade to be completed between
Flagstaff and Williams in Decem Der,
1910. This will call for all the men
the contractors will be able to get,
which will be some 400 to 500. There
are about 200 at work now preparing
a track for the steam shovel, which
will start as soon as possible. From
that time the work will go rapidly
forward. The work between Winslow
and a point two and a half miles west
of Dennison will be completed in
about a month. Langtry- Sharp will
do the grading between Williams and
Ash Fork. Their Representatives are
in Ash Fork now. and the men and
outfits will soon be making the dirt

Nervous


81 suffered SO with Nervous
Prostitution that I thought there
was no use trying to get well. A
friend recommended DIR. Miles

at first, I soon found myself re-
covering, and am to-day WELL"

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
IF any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
q specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DIR. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.

The Wolf as a Hero

TWO years ago Madrid saw the first
performance of play somewhat sim
liar in conception to "Chantecler THE
Rostand poem in blank verse which now
obsesses all Paris. In the Spanish drama
the characters were all animals, the prin-
cipal being the wolf, from which the play
derived its name of ''El Caballero Lobo, !"
meaning "The Cavalier Wolf The bear
was the other chief male role, the cat and
the sheep being played by women. The
author has not as yet, however, made any
claim to have furnished the inspiration or
idea for the Rostand play. The Spanish
drama has never been seen outside of the
authors native city, but there is talk of
a London production.

A Gigantic Pachyderm

THE national collection of heads and
horns, now being installed in the new
administration building at the New York
Geological park, under the direction of w. b.
Hornaday, will be enriched by magnifi-
cent elephant head. The gift is from Sam
uel Thorn, the animal having been shot by
his son-in-law, Richard Tjader, in British
East Africa. The specimen was mounted
at the Metropolitan Museum of Natural
History, where it will remain for short
time. The elephant is believed to have
been the largest ever killed by an American
sportsman. From the tip of trunk to tip
of tail the animal measured twenty-five
feet The height of twelve feet exceeded
that of Jumbo s by eleven inches The head,
as mounted, shows measurement of ten
feet from tip to tip of the ears. The
picture is reproduced from a photograph
made last week by w. l.. Beasley, the
group of twenty children showing by com
parison the great size of the specimen.
This is only one of the many remarkable
exhibits at the Museum of Natural His
tory, an institution not so much fire.
quented by the people of this city as it de-
serves. Many do not know that this is the

More Bachelor Comforts

A NEW society, called the Busy Bees, is
"A London s latest scheme for making
life easy for the bachelor Under proper
superintendent, the girls sew on buttons,
darn socks and keep men s wardrobes in
repair. The society charges a fixed sum
per month for the work and pays the girls
a regular weekly wage. Amy deficiencies
in revenue are made good by the sponsors
for the scheme, which is meeting with an
encouraging patronage. 1t would seem as
if similar enterprise would meet with
favor in the large cities of America. And
it has only one drawback-it helps to make
life so easy for the bachelor that he has
that much less incentive to marry. The
bachelor s life has its advantages, even if
it is bit lonely at times.

AROUND THE TICKER
Where a Medley of Strange Characters
FOregnthers

From, Moody's Magazine.
Half a dozen years of financial writ
ing have brought me into contact with
many of the strange and interesting
characters who may be found around
the ticker Men who have been failures
elsewhere trying for a stroke of good
luck; graduate physicians, lawyers,
former clergymen, an ex-motorman turn
ing the wheel of fortune several who
have done time, race track followers, a
former chef who buys stocks with his left
hand and small restaurants with his
right, hotel walters by the score sorrow
fully watching the tips garnered in the
dining room vanish in the bucket shops;
card gamblers, club men, society lights,
athletics fascinated by the game of
chance have rubbed their elbows some
time or other in the different brokerage
offices.
Two of the most picturesque charac-
tiers of Wall street hung on the OUT
skirts of the curb market few years
age. One was formerly an expert teleg-
ropher who had lost his mind after an
Illness. He was a thoroughly harmless
fellow given to cracking two stones
alongside his head, saying that he want
ed to drown out the shouts of the brok-
ers. He seemed to have an idea what
the brokers were doing, and OCCASION
ally they would good naturally go
through the form of trading with him.
The other character was a tramp. The
only thing missing In his equipment was
the proverbal tin can But notwith-
standing his lowly station in life he was
sport. Nickels and dimes were be-
slowed upon him by the brokers at vari-
Gus times and this hobo would circle
the crowd to find some one to match
coins with him.
"See that man there the head of
large stock brokerage firm said to me
the other day The man was leaning
against the ticker The click, click Of
the wheel appeared to be music in his
ears. Through his fingers the thin
white strip Of printed quotations was
sliding In the manner natural 20 all tape
readers.
"Well, he's a paradox in Wall street."
said the broker. HE doesn't speculate.
He is strict and sincere church mem
Der, strongly opposed to anything that
smacks of gambling. yet there is some
thing in his blood that has made him
come to our office almost daily for ten
years, rain or shine, and never has he
used the buy or sell pad. He turned
up one day with a friend we'll known
to us and hardly before the introductions
were over he had made himself at home.
The first day he annexed the stool beside
the ticker, read the prices to our board
boy and seemed in every way familiar
with the market.
IA week passed and to our surprise we
had received no orders from him. We
had an active market for several months
and the omission of orders was over
looked In the meantime he really made
himself valuable by giving unusually ac-
curate market opinions, keeping a record
of prices and statistics SO we felt that he
was evening up matters To this day he
has never told us to buy or sell anything
for him. but were he to go away he would
be sadly missed for his friendship, his
peculiarities and his singular ability to
live in the atmosphere of a brokers' office
and never speculate"
