Two Of Life's Re aehers.

Life has two teachers-example and
experience. Experience is most ex-
cellent Instructor, but, as has been
said, his school fees are very high
Example gives his lessons In les
notable and perhaps less effective ways
but he is more considerate of the wei
fare of his scholars. Experience throws
US into deep pool of water, and says
"Now SWIM" Example goes along
beside us, puts his hand under our
shoulder. and says: "Thls is the way
to do it." Experience may be the
teacher more to be trusted, but exam
pie is often the teacher to be the more
desired. The bold man goes to the
school of experience, and if, in the enl
he does not repent 1t, he at least ap
preciates his rashness. The wise man
learns by example, and his wisdom

ABOUT GREAT MEN.
GORDON AND OTHERS,
AS Sam Jones Thinks Of Them.
Atlanta Journal.

Atlanta Journal.
/ spent two hours very pleasant,
with General Gordon last Monday OF
the sleeper from Nashville to Bowling
Green, KY. His bow seems to abide
In strength. He looks we'll, talk
cheerfully and hopefully. looked a,
his gray hair, his battle-scarred facs
and felt that I was talking with the
greatest living hero OF the civil war, or
either side. General Gordon is as low
able and tender as mother, as brave
as lion and as true as steel. His lect
ure on "1he Last Days of the Confed-
eracy" has been delivered by him north
south, east and west over the United
States, and always to the delight OF the
people. Healing wounds, crushing
out sectlonalism and bringing about a
thorough reconciliation of all warning
elements, he is honored wherever he
goes, cheered wherever he speaks and
loved by all who know him. His pres
ence is an inspiration to brotherhood.
Long may he live and many more
times may he deliver his masterful
lecture ON the "Last Days of the Con-
federacy ~
spent some hours with Henry Wat
terson some time ago on a B. & O..
train between st. Louis and Louisville.
He is the brainies: living editor on this
continent. There have been six great
editors IN my day-Greeley, Dana, Nc
Cullogh, Medill, Grady and Watterson
The most brilliant OF the six-Grady-
was gifted, bright, and enthusiastic.
His rhetoric had every color OF the
rainbow, the fragrance OF a rose and the
sparkle of the diamond. Poetry and
pathos made his pen and tongue as
magnetic as loadstone.
Watterson, brilliant, versatile, talks
as lovingly as mother In the nursery
today, and tomorrow he writes as VIC
ious as a viper bites. He will take you
into the Eden of his better side toe ay,
then turn sides and swamp you like q
cyclone from the earth tomorrow. His
lecture on Abraham Lincoln is a mas
terpiece of clog 1ence and power. His
editorials ON the political situation in
Kentucky are az full of venom as they
are devoid of truth. Take Wattersoa
out Of partisan politics, you read him
with delight, but when the light of his
genius and the splendid powers of his
mind are employed for partisan ends
and perverted for political ends, the
orchestra is transformed into a jargon
of tin pans in a Fourth OF July process
sion. Socially, Watterson is genial, !,
pleasant, entertaining. On the plat
form be is both orator and statesman !;
on Kentucky politics he is--we shall
not see his like again.

Black all Gresn.

A good story OF college days is told
OF negro gardner, a jolly fellow, with
whom the boys used to have consider
able sport. Sometimes be would floor
them with his repartae. One day ii
spring Sambo had been burning the
college green III order to get rid of the
old withered grass. A freshman came
along, and thinking to have some fun
shouted:
"Say, there, Sambo, you ought not
to burn that stuff"
"Why?" inquired Sambo.
Because" replied the freshman
"itll make the grass as black as yol
are."
''Well, mass:," retorted Sambo
'dat's all right. Never you fear I; da
ERE grass'll come up and be as green al
you are."
