The summer time Is usually the dull
season with the business people, and
In fact with everyone, except the but
terfly pleasure seeker. But the laun
dry man Is an exception to this. Witti
him Ij Is the rush time of the year.
The more humid the atmosphere the
more he enjoys It; perspiration Is Ills
dearest friend. A rise in the thermom
eter is a thing to shed tears of joy
over, and dust, especially on a windy
day, is a welcome feature of the
weather .conditions to the wash man.
Pathos' la a Name.
A speaker at a Methodist conference
told this story, which, he said, was re
lated to him by BlBhop Hartzell: “The
bishop, while on a southern tour, met
a darky who was the father of sixteen
children, the youngest of whom was
scarcely out of arlns, and on asking
him what the youngster’s name was
received this reply, 'Judas ’Scarlot,
Bah.’ ‘You don't mean to tell me that
that Is really his baptismal name, do
you?’ asked the bishop.. ‘Indeed, I do,
sah. Ain’t dat a Scrlpt'ral name?' ‘Yes;
but do you know who Judas Iscariot
was?’ ’’Course I does, sab; hut doan
de Scripture say It would have bjen
better for Judas ’Scarlot If he had nev
er been horned?’ ‘Yes; but what has
that to do with this poor little chap?’
‘Dot’s jest it, sah; dat’s jest It. It
would have been better for dis poor
little chap If he had never been burned,
and dat’s why we calls him Judas
’Scarlot’ ’’—Philadelphia Record.
I<loya’a Historic Bell.
The bell used to Insure silence at
Lloyd's, In London, when the arrival of
an overdue vessel Is announced to the
anxious underwriters Is of naval origin.
It belonged to the Lutlne, which was
wrecked near the Zuyder Zee toward
the end of the eighteenth century, when
England'was at wqr with Holland. As
it was customary In those days to send
bullion and specie by men-ot-war, the
Lutlne carried a valuable consignment
of specie, and the underwriters at
Lloyd’s were able to arrange with the
Dutch government to salve the cargo
and recoup themselves for their loss on
Insurance. Over 150,000 was recover
ed, and among other relics brought to
shore was tho Lutlne's bell, to ring out
good cheer for anxious underwriter^
who hear the safe arrival proclaimed
by Lloyd's crier as silence follows the
ringing of tho bell.
Leather and Shoes.
The leather that makes- the most
comfortable shoes and the most lasting
as well Is the old fashioned tan bark
cow leather, greased good and hard
every Saturday with tullow fat. Oil
Is the life of loather, and a shoe should
be oiled at least twice a month, as It
readily evaporates. . The man who
walks a great deal should change his
shoes every other day if he van afford
It, and be should make some sacrifice
tq do It, as the benefit to his feet will
be Immeasurable. Shoes should fit the
feet well and snugly. The feet should
be the last pnrt of a man’s anatomy to
tire from wulklng, and they won’t If
the proper care Is taken of them.—

A -Gigantic Spanish Palace.
The “eighth wonder," us It Is usually
called, is the gigantic palace of the
Escurlal, which stands In the ancient
kingdom of Toledo, Spain. It Is con
fessedly the most wonderful edifice lu
the world, whether In dimensions or
riches. It has 1,860 rooms, 6,200 win

hells. Its circumference Is 2,800 feet,
or almost exactly a half mile. It was

Albany, Ga.
Is said to have been broiled on a grid
iron, and on -that account its founda

shape of that kind of a piece of kitch
en utensil.
Postmaster Robbed.
G. W. Fouts, Postmaster at River
ton, la., nearly lost his life and was
robbed of all Comfort, according to his
letter, which says: “For 20 years I
had chronic liver complaint, which led
to such a severe case of jaundice that
even my finger nails turned yellow;
when my doctor prescribed Electric
Bitters, which cured me and have kept
me well for eleven yeare.’ Sure cure
for Biliousness, Neuralgia, Weakness
and all Stomach,'Liver, Kidney and
Bladder derangements. A wonderful
Tonic. At Albany Drug Co.’s drug
store. 60 cento.
Umpire McGrath — ho callB It Mo-
Graw,” and "McGraw” therefore It Is
—will pass out the order at the ball
park on Thursday afternoon to "Play
ball."
And Mr. Stem Twisters Collier,
hurler of ferocious destroyers of bat
ting averages, will amble softly Into
the box, rub hlB right fin In the stuff
from which Father Adam was mod
eled, smile sweetly at the girl under
the blue sailor with a red ribbon band,
wink reassuringly at Tar-Paw McCor
mick—and the season of 1906, Georgia
State League, will be on.
'Cordele gets hers Thursday. Also
Friday and Saturday.
For Cordele opens up In Albany.
And being the first of the season
Thomas's lads will be satisfied with
nothing less than three straights.
As aforesaid, Stem Twisters Collier
will pitch the first game.
And Stem Twisters Is all right. He
lost that first exhibition game with
Valdosta, but It wasn't his fault. It
was the result of bad worjc behind
him. He pitched great ball, and every
fan who saw the game le willing to
back him to win day after tomorrow.
And all the fans are pretty well
agreed that the Albany bunch Is about
as husky a set as was ever corralled
together on a minor league team.
“They suit me,” Is the laconic com
ment of Manager Thoms t, who knows
a bail player when he sees one.
And here Is the way tho regular
line-up Is going to be during the early
part of the season:
Alexander, first base. Experienced,
understanding ball players and know
ing the ways of getting games. Left-
handed, but level headed. Incidentally
team captain.
Harry Bldred, second base. A pro
fessional who knows how to keep the
middle sack pinned down and who
covers a world of ground.
. Billy Rambargar—call him Llmbur-
ger If you want to; he doesn’t care—
short-stop. Billy Is ubiquitous. Ho Is
everywhere at the same time, and has
a habit of intercepting balls that look
like they were going ln :o left field.
W. W. Lovelace, third base. Less Is
known about Lovelace than any play
er on the team, but /all that Is known
Is good. “Just wait,’” says “Love.”
Yes, that's his ball name—“Love.' 1
Tar-Paw McCormick will be the reg
ular man behind the bat. And maybe
he hasn’t been playing star ball! His
work In those exhibition games was
of the gilt-edge variety, and nobody
has a doubt as to the character of
work he will do.
Dudley Is the other man who will do
the receiving op occasion. And the
catcher who Isn’t catching will be In
right field, just as one of the pitchers
—either Boyd or Crosley—will always
be In centerfleld.
As for Snodgrass — “ Sycamore
Snod” he will he called, on account of
his great height—he will be the reg
ular man In left field, and everybody
has discovered that a bucket of tar
hangs on one of the sycamore’s limbs.
Posey, Collier, Boyd and Crosley
will do the box work. All but the last
named have been seen In harness,
buckling down to serious work. “Don’t
worry about Crosley,’’ says Team Man
ager Wood, “for he’s right In the
bunch with this other bouquet of dais
ies.”
McGrath, Harris and P. Connlff will
umpire the games of the Georgia State
League. They are experienced men,
and have secured the positions on
their merits. As stated above, Mc
Grath will open up tile season In Al-
bany.
Cordele arrives Thursday morning,
and three games will be played—
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Al
bany’s bunch will go over to Cordele
for three return games, on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, but will be
at home again for Thursday, Friday
and Saturday games with Columbus.
Amerlcus opens day after tomorrow
at Columbus and Wayoross at Val
dosta.
Of course everybody will be out
Thursday to see the opening game of
the season. The Cordellans are com
ing over oh a special train' to root for
their bunch, and—
’ Well, there’ll be a hot old time out
at the park.

Strange Pledges.
London pawnbrokers are frequently
asked to take strnuge things lu pawn.
The other day a Holborn pawnbroker
lent $100 on n fine horse, which one of
bis daughters rode until It was re
deemed. The samo pawnbroker once
took In pledge a medical chest of poi
sons that were strong enough to kill
10,000 men. it was, however, a valua
ble deposit, as some of the poisons
were very rare. A Kensington (Eng
land) pawnbroker about three weeks
ago lent a sum of money on n number
of autographs of dead celebrities..
Before and After.
Mrs. Maun—Before we Were murrled
Charles used to-bring me candy when
ho came to see me. Now I have to buy
my candy myself or go without. Mrs.
Grimes—That’s just the way with the
men, Mrs. Maun—But, then, I don’t
nilud It. I buy better candy than he
used to buy, mid us It is his money, just
tho same ns In the old days, the new
arrangement Is more expeualve to him
than the old one.
A Criterion of. Age.
Birmingham — Yout daughter Is to
marry a young man named Hill, I be
hove? Manchester—Yes. ,He belongs
to one of the very oldest families In the
epuntry. Birmingham—I didn’t know
that he cqmp front a particularly old
family. Manchester—Oh, yes. You of
ten hear people use the expression, “As
old as the Hills.”

Webster Beaten'by « Woman.
In tho somewhat famous can of
Mrs. Bodgen's will, which waB tried In
the supreme court many ycurs ago,
Daniel Webster appeared ns counselor
for tho appcllnut. Mrs. Greonougb,
wife of the Rev. William Ureenough of
West Newton, was u Very self pos
sessed witness. Notwithstanding Mr.
Webster’s repeated efforts to discon
cert her she pursued tho even tenor of
her way until Webster, becoming quite
fearful of tho result, arose, apparently
lu great agitation, nnd, drawing out
bis large snuffbox, thrust his thumb
and finger to the vory bottom and, car
rying a deep pinch to both nostrils,
drew It up with gusto, and then, ex
tracting from his jfockct a very large
hanUkerchlef, he blew Ills nose with a
report that rang distinct and lqud
through the crowded ball.
He tjien asked, "Mrs. Greonougb,
was Mrs. Bodgeu a neat woman?"
"I cannot give you full Information
as to that, sir. She bad one very dirty
trick,” replied the wltueBs.
"What was that, ma’am?"
"She took snuff!"—Boston Horuld.
The Lodge,
From tho presldoilt of the nation

thralls. It Is not that tho lodge Is a se
cret organization, though that is a
pnrt. It Is not that Its membership la
chosen with caution, though such ex
clusiveness undoubtedly makes It more
eagerly sought. It Is not that Itfelves
direct benefits or that It offers protec
tion to the family when tho bread
earner has departed. Not these things
alono make the lodge popular. Greater
than these Is the desire tor social com
panionship, the lore of fellowship, the
power of community of Interest. Not
q substitute for club or church, yet fill
ing a place in men’s lives that'neither
occupies, tho lodge has developed the
old time gtllld'ldea and fitted It to mod
ern conditions and Is ati institution

that (t shows little Indication’ of ever
wielding less power over, mon's death
