STOP AND CONSIDER.

The anti-Sunday baseball agitation has broken loose in Pine Bluff again and as result of the warning that was sounded yesterday by Sheriff Edgar Brewster, after a protest had been registered against the Sabbath day sport by some who do not favor the playing of baseball on that day, the Sunday games will in all prob ability be called off at Forest Park and East End Park
 The Graphic stands for the strict enforcement of the law at all times, but it also believes in being reason- able and fair in carrying out the pur- poses of some measures that have be- come laws and that are now on the statutes.
 Already there is movement on foot to start agitation against every kind of Sunday labor and if it goes very far there will not be very bright Sundays in store for Pine Bluff this summer, for the intention of those be- hind the movement is to insist on the enforcement of the blue laws, as they are termed, which would result in many inconveniences to the public and do great damage to Pine Bluff in a commercial way. The movement, if ii is formulated with success, will not better conditions here, even II Sunday baseball is to be sacrificed.
 There are hundreds of sincere, law abiding citizens in this city who see no harm in an innocent game of base ball on the Sabbath day. In every case the scheduled gs.;nes were to have been played at parks, away from the homes of local residents and the games would in no wise disturb Sun day worship or Sabbath rest. The working people, especially those em- ployed in industrial plants and in downtown stores, have only one day in tlle week for recreation and anluse- . nent ajlds they are al1noss unaniinous- |ly in favor of Sunday baseball Sun ,day afternoon games usually attract E, large crowds of men and women and < eirls and boys and have a tendency to

New York Cotton.

New York, May 31.-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of 1M3 points and sold about 4M5 points net higher during the early trading on some scattered coverings, and in sympathy with the relatively steady showing of Liverpool while the local market was closed yesterday.

This was considered favor able from crop standpoint and the market eased off to a net loss of 2W3 points during the first hour.
 The market continued very quiet during the early afternoon but ruled steady with prices about unchanged to 3 points lower.

Some years ago MT. Douglas, the village smith of Eleensburg. Wash. set to work to construct a giant figure of a man out of the old horseshoes which he accumulated in the course of his work. Up to date he has com pleted the legs, which are composed of no fewer than thirty-five thousand shoes. Mir Douglas Is beginning to wonder if he will ever finish the figure, AS the coming of the motor has had an appreciable effect upon the shoe iag trade and materials for this quaint colossus are not coming in so fast as they used to do.

SPEAKERS RACE
 . NOW.8ETWEFN TWO

Little Rock, Dec. 5.-As the time before the next meeting of the Arkan- sas general assembly grows shorter, the race for speaker of the house is simplifying itself, and the list of can didates has narrowed to two men-Joe Hardage of Philadelphia and Carroll Armstrong of Morrilton, with S. A. Miller of Pine Bluff a dark horse in the running.
 o. C. Ludwig, former secretary of state and one of the representatives from Pulaski county, who was looked upon as an administration candidate for the position, has announced his withdrawal. Carroll Armstrong is now expected to get the support of the incoming administration. Ludwig has been making an active canvass for the office, and stated a short time ago he had pledges from enough members to insure his election. When Col. Arm strong was announced as a candidate he decided to withdraw, rather than split the administration forces.

The Jones girl had been abroad and had come home cultivated. The Jones family bore it with a resigned pride until they learned that the eminent Baron Hofsuneigener, recently ar rived in Harlem from the upper cir cles of Berlin. was coming to dine.

Dur ing the fish he made one remark: "Ach, Gut" During the roast he repeated himself: "Ach. Gut" But with the salad the eminent baron varied his refrain. "Ach, gut, gut" said he.
 Then the boys broke their silence. In chorus they said; Pass 1t to him again"

STATE PEN IS
 MAKING MONEY

Little Rock, Dec 5.-The earnings of the state penitentiary for the year 1912 will amount to $100,000. The state farm this year has produced the largest, best and cheapest crop in it's history The farm is paid for, the penitentlary does not owe one cent, and has $25,000 balance in the treas ury, with about $50,000 more in sight for the next two months from the sale of cotton and cottonseed, besides a large quantity of corn and provender raised on the farm which will greatly reduce the expenses of next year. The net earnings for the year 1911 were only about $40,000, which accounts for the temporary embarrassment of the institution before the returns be- gan to come in from this years crop.

Hopeless Predicament.

Mrs. Pethick Lawrence, the English suffragist, said at a farewell dinner in New York last month:
 The antis who protest against the vote on the score of woman's weak ness have been thrown into terrible predicament by Professor Dantan's positive proof that girl babies are stronger than boy babies.
 Their predicament Is hopeless. It Is embarrassing as the predicament of lady who, about to be fitted for . pair of new boots in boot shop. flushed. bit her lip, and said to her self:

DEER RACE A TROLLEY CAR
Three of Them Amuse the Passengers on an interburban Line in
 Connecticut.

Passengers on the car leaving this pretty sight at the rock cut below Egypt Brook on the Derby line when three large deer raced ahead of the fast running car for over 300 yards, leav- ing the tracks when the car got so close that the fender touched the hind legs of the last deer.
 Motorman J. L. McGuire came upon the deer suddenly as the car rounded sharp turn in the rock cut and sounded his gong. The deer stood still for moment and Mcclure put on his brakes, as he was afraid that he would strike them He blew the air whistle and the three were of in a jify, running ahead of tho car at full speed Mcclure then followed while the passengers aboard the car crowded into the front end to watch the deer They ran gracefully to- gether, but could not get off the tracks as there is a very steep declivity on the right hand side and the bank ran up too steep on the left to permit them to get of the right of way.
 Finally they came to spot where they could leave and one after the other they jumped into the under brush on the uphill side. The last deer fingered so long by the side of the track that the fender brushed it's heels as it leaped aside.
 Two of the deer were fair sized while the third was one of the largest seen by the trolleymen in their experi- ence along that line. Deer are rather common in the Beacon Falls section of the run and they are frequently seen by early morning trolley crews. Harry Hogan, conductor of the car, said that although he has seen many deer on the trolley tracks in that section, these seemed less afraid of the car than any.-Waterbury Re publican.

It appears that he takes 1t all in the best spirit. He has even collected all the songs that have been written about him, and in the evening after dinner he sometimes asks one of his intimate friends to sing selections from the fat volume they make He is said to derive a good deal of quiet amusement from a study of the faces of his orderly officers when the song is more than usually personal and out spoken.
