IT is wonderful to note the wisdom of
the average saloon bum. They can give
the business men cards and spades and
then beat them running his own bust
ness. If he makes a deal, they can tell
him just how he could have made several
thousand more at least on the transac-
ton. If. under the spur of the moment.
be makes SOME mistake they stand
around and wag their heads and tell him
just what he should have done. Their
words of wisdom are free and nothing
suits them better than to get some poor
defenseless duck into a corner and tell
him their views of the matter. If he
happens to be running a newspaper they
are all possessed with the idea that he
wants their views on the matter to pub.
lish entire and proceed to give them to
him in scriel story form. And yet hall
Of these men are compelled to put in a
few weeks, periodically, working for the
saloons to pay their whiskey bill. What
a wonderful thing is hindsight.

The Great and the Small

ufSJ among all h great generals
of ancient or modern history.
Starting out in March or April
1874 b. c., with a force of less than
$4,000 men, he crossed the Hell
lespont from Sestos to Abydos for
the purpose of invading Asia, and
between that time and June 1913
b. c., he conquered practically
the entire world.
Early in his advance he was met
by Darius who commanded in per
son a force of 600. 1900 footmen and
the latter was defeated with ter
rible slaughter and the loss Of all
his treasure. his entire camp. and
his wife and children.
In a contest with the Persians
he, with 10000 foot and 1000
horse, defeated one million infant
ry, forty thousand cavalry, 200
chariots and 10 elephants.
Never from the beginning to
the end of his career did he meet
with defeat. But as "A general
only was he great, he had no soul,
no desire except for conquest
'Demosthenes, the greatest of
orators, was born rear the city of
Athens in the year $50 b. c., and
at the age of Z was left an orphan.
During his minority the little,
fortune left him by his father, was
sIuandered by his guardians, and
opposed by the most adverse cir
cumstances he carved his name so
high upon the monument of fame,
that the efforts of subsequent gen
erations have failed to reach it.
With a combination of power. hon
esty, reason and passion, he in
fuenced his hearers AS no other
man did. And his o~rations are
still studied as the highest models
of all that is pure and exalted in

RAILWAY STOPPED BY LIONS
They Ate Twenty-Eight Men and Delayed
 Construction for Months

From the London Spectator.
 Speaking in the house of lords of the progress of the Uganda Railway, Lord Salisbury mentioned that among the un- expected difficulties encountered were a pair of man-eating lions, which stopped the work for three weeks before they were shot As some five thousand men were at work on the line, their intimidation by two lions seems almost incredible. Yet 1t Is fact that so dreadful was the pressure ex- enicised by the constant attacks of this pair of man-destroying wild beasts and so cumulative the fear caused among the Indian laborers by the sight and sound of their comrades being carried off and de youred that hundreds of these industrious workmen, trained on similar duties under the service of the government of India. abandoned their employment and pay, and crying out that they agreed to work for wages not to be food for lions or devils, rushed to the line as the trains for the coasts were approaching, and, fiinging tnemselves across the metals, gave the engine drivers the choice of either passing over their bodies or of stopping to take them up and carry them back to Mombasa. Many of these men were not timid Hindoos, but sturdy Sikhs. Yet the circumstances were so unique and the scenes witnessed from week to week so bloody and appalling that their panic and desperation are no matter for surprise Lord Salisbury under stated the facts.
 Though the works were stopped for three weeks, the liens campaign lasted, with in- tervals of quiet when one or the other had been wounded, from March till the end of December. In this time they killed and ate bwentyeight Indians, and 1t Is believed that twice this number of natives, Swa- hills and the like, besides woundng and attacking others. They attacked white en- gineers, doctors. soldiers and military off, cors, armed Abyssinian askaris, sepoys, bunniahs, coolies and porters. Some they chewed, some they devoured, some they carried off and left sticking in thorn fences because they could not drag them through. At first they were contenaed to take one man between them. Before tine end Of their career they would take a man apiece on the same night, sometimes from the same nut or campfire. The plain, unyarnished tale of the ''prehistorc revivap' of the posi- ton originally held iby man in tne struggle for existence against ravenous beasts Is set out at considerable length and detail in The Field of February r and February 24 by MT. J. H. Patterson, one = the en- gineers of the line, who, after months of effont and personal risk, succeeded in breaking the spell and killing both the lions, which the natives had como to re- gard as "devils," that Is, as equivalent to were wolves, and guided by the local de- mons.

FIRE AT BRIDGEPORT
Large Deposit of Fire Proof Clay Found
 Near Scottsboro

Scottsboro, March 25-(Special. .)-Anolther destructive fire visited Bridgeport Wednes- day last. The fire broke out about 12 o'clock and two dwellings, the property of R. A. Jones, were totally destroyed. They were both occupied, and the family of one made a narrow escape with their lives. The loss is estimated a s1 200 or $1, ,50O, part ay covered by insurance.
 B. F. Simpson of Bridgeport was walking over his farm several days ago when he dis covered what he supposed to be the clay used in making fire-proof brick. Upon in- vestigation he found that it existed in im- mense quantities, there being forty or fifty acres that will average from ten to twen- ty-five feet deep in this clay. MT. Smp- son shipped two or three barrels to Nash vile to be tested, and has received let ter from the Nashville Pottery and Fire Clay company that it is of a very superior quality.
