horses, others upon elephants, but
most of all on foot, he started to
force his way through Spain, Gaul,
over the Alps and into Italy. He
at once cut loose from his base of
supplies, fighting his way through
hostile lands into an unknown
country, over almost impossible
mountain ranges covered with
snow and ice. leaving thousands of
his men in the intricate mountain
passes, but at last he descended
into Italy. It is true that he had
but $4,000 men out Of the $4,000
he had at starting, but still un-
daunted he was ready to meet the
flower of the Roman army. and he
not only met them but defeated
them, not one or two only, but
army after army, and not only de-
feated them but annihilated them,
armies more numerous than his
own on their own soil and of a
country where every citizen was
soldier.
For fourteen years Hannibal
ranged from one end of Italy to
the other, and, as one outhor says,
''The greatest general of Rome
winning laurels because he knew
enough to recognize his hopeless
inferiority." And at the end Han
nibal left Italy of his own free
will to try and bolster up his coun-
try which was being ruined by the
blunders of other leaders. No.
where in the annals of warfare is
there another such a record of in
defatigable zeal, such persistent,
such Tenacious effort, such a mag
ni6cent ambition to overcome the
most powerful nation of his time.
Compared with the great gener-
ais of Rome, the Scipios, the
Pompeys, the Caesars, or even CON-
pared with Napoleon, clear and
distinct, head and shoulders above
them all stands Hannibal the
Carthaginian. D.

INDIVIDUALITY.

Do you see that individual get
ting out of that buggy over there?
That's P. D. Armour; you can set
your watch by his movements and
have correct time. It's 1870 now
and at 2 p. M, if you care to test
my word, you willsee him get back
into the same buggy and ride to
certain house on Prairie avenue.
Such was daily occurrence few
years ago.
[ never knew the late P. D. Ar
mour to deviate from coming to or
going from his place Of business
in the same buggy unless his
grandchildren came down to his
Office to meet him. Then, and
then only, was there a different
vehicle to convey him home, but
never later or earlier than 2 p. m.
His was an ideal individuality, the
result of an indomitable will and
force of habit.
The man or woman who does
not possess individuality lacks one
of the most fundamental factors
of life, intellectually so. To de-
dermine whether you possess indi-
viduality you have but to look
about you and compare the varia-
tons and characteristics of others
with those of yourself. There is
the person, for instance, who is
always and invariably on time in
every movement of his life. He
does the things that he sets out to
do; no more, nc less, and we ad-
mire him. There is the other per-
son who is always behind time, he
never does half the things he
ought to do, and reasons that there
is little use in doing them at all.
He exhausts our patience and ex-
cites the irritability of his wife.

Il, few shepherds, as
s.S.s sassinated the king of
tribe of people, was
made king himself, conquered an
other tribe or two and founded the
city of Rome. This wasabout 1853 B.
c., and from that time until the Sec
ond century, the time upon which
our studies are at present directed,
she continued to grow in power,
wealth and territory. She sub
dued nation after nation, and
conquered country after country
until she had the whole known
world paying tribute to her. She
took from the countries that she
conquered all that was best in
them.
Greece was old in art and litera-
ture when Rome was in it's infancy,
but she was among the first to
transfer her treasures to Rome.
But, tho Grecian art and literature
fell upon congenial soil in Italy
and the praises Of Roman heroes
soon were being sung in Grecian
meters, the Roman was made of
;sterner stuff and the hardships of
a soldiers life was more attractive
to him than that Of the gentler
arts. Our class book says,
Founded upon a military basis,
Rome long continued a race of
warriors, whose every citizen by
virtue of his franchise was SOL
der" No great wonder then that
she conquered nations! But what
is more to her credit she used a
wise colonial system that generally
kept her new dependencies peace
fully faithful to her.
AS long as Rome followed the
policy of giving her provinces a
certain amount of home rule she
continued to thrive; when unscru-
lpulous officials, whose only aim was
their personal interest, succeeded
in getting control of them, then
the empire began to decay.
But of all the nations that Rome
conquered there was none more
stubborn than Carthage. The first
war between them ended with the
decisive victory Of the Romans.
The main result of the war was
that Sicily became for the first
time Roman dependency.
Some five years before the war
was ended, there was born in
Carthage boy who was destined
to become one Of the greatest gen.
erals that has ever lived. This
boy, Hannibal. grew up to early
manhood cherishing hatred of
the Romans that had been in
stilled in him by his father who
was commander in chief of the
Carthaginian forces. Hannibal
was trained from boyhood and be-
came a thorough soldier, and at
the death of his father, who was in
Spain subjugating the tribes, in
spite Of the opposition of a large
minority in the senate he was pro-
claimed commander in chief of the
Carthaginian army.
Hannibal's sole aim was an in
vasion of Italy. He gathered to-
gether an army of $4,000 men,
consisting of negroes, Spaniards,
@Gauls, Moors, Greeks, men Of
almost every race except his own,
and with this homogeneous horde,
each race or tribe arrayed in it's ma
tive costume, each man carrying the
weapons to which he was most
accustomed, some mounted upon

There is, for instance, the pro-

write, and you want a reply, and
you wish it straightway. Your
correspondent is not possessed of
such a temperamental apparatus
charged with energetic considera-
ton for the qualification of
others, consequently you are left
to muse over the singularities as
we'll as the peculiarities of human
nature. Your correspondent may,
perhaps, have thousand qualities
that are better, finer and nobler,
but does not happen to have that
particular one. Are we to fret and
fume because such things irritate
us? No, a thousand times no!
We must by no means make his or
her life burden with reproach
and complaint; this procrastina-
ton is a weakness, an individual
sin, and we must accept this one
defect of our friend.
Nearly all of the discords of
life arise from the fact that we fail
to take into consideration the spe-
cial qualities in their special
groupings that determine the per-
sons with whom we have to deal,
and which are practically unaltera-
BILE, and must be borne and &C.
cepted as best we may. Things
that you cannot cure you must en-
dure. In fact, when we note the
trying characteristics of others, a
very good remedy would be to turn
the X-ray upon our own person
atty and give thought to our own
individual sins, negligences and
weaknesses. We may not be able
to achieve perfection, but it will
do us no harm to devote our
surplus zeal to aspiring to that
rare quality.
To thoroughly discipline your
own individuality is about as near
perfection as man dare aspire and
attain, and when you have once
attained to so rare gift, you will
be surprised to learn how simple is
the problem of life, congenial,
companionable life.
Whenever man or woman has
tried to affect individuality, they
have failed most ingloriously,
usually in disgrace and humilia-
ton, simply because individuality
is the slow, unconscious evolution
and crystalization of. a lifetime,
and as such cannot be affected for
any length of tire without it's
being detected, ridiculed and con-
demned as vulgar and vain; and
no person who has departed from
his individuality has succeeded in
gaining the object of his covetous
designs with any degree of perma-
nency, while they Immediately be-
come objects Of suspicion and not
to be depended upon in future.
Take, for example, the mode of
life of the tramp; more uncer-
tain. useless, shiftless and indiffer-
ent way of living cannot be con-
ceived; he does not even assume
the title Of nonenity; if he has
any convictions at all, tits that he
must forever change his environ
ments and never live the same day
over, but give himself utterly into
the fate of his nomadic career. A
singular philosophy that usually
ends with one or two results, the
despised and unknown grave of a
vagabond or ''stiff' to be carved
and minced for the edifcation of
young amateurs who in turn
honor their "stjff'' by throwing his
individualless remains into a a vat
of quick lime. The potency of
individuality was never more
strikingly illustrated than in the
death of Mckinley and the sud
den realization of Mr.. Roosevelt's
ambition. True. he did not antici- |

Injunction Granted.

Cincinnati, O.. July 16.-Judge c. D.. Clark of the United States District Court during the hearing of the motion to dis solve the temporary injunction issued against the striking machinists indicated very plainly to counsel for the defense what his opinion would be on two points involved. He said that for picketing, an injunction would be granted, but that acts of violence and even boycotting were not to be met by injunction. Said he:
 T have arrived at the conclusion be- yond all shadow of doubt that pcketing is unlawful; that 1t is immoral and wrong. Counsel for the defense must un- derstand plainly that I am opposed to pfcketing in any form whatever and that l will promptly make the power of this court felt against t.''
 He described picketing as intercepting men while going to or from the factory anywhere even miles away by one man or by more than one-and interference with the ingress and egress of workmn But violence," he added, lis not to be remedied by injunction in this court Il is subject to the criminal Jurisdiction oi the State courts" He announced that the decision of the case would rest or the point whether or not 1t had beer shown that there had been picketing While his mind was made up on the law a s to picketing he asked counsel to cite authorities on that point. The argu- ments were begun but as Judge Clark has a case to hear at Chattanooga to- morrow the case will be taken up If he returns on the 24th instant.

No Conference Held.

New York July 16.-At the close of the day today a representative of the highest interests In the United States Steel Cor poration authorized the statement that no conference concerning the steel strike had taken place during the day and that none is likely to take place until the Amalga- mated Association recedes from its pres ent attitude. The additional statement is made that on this point there can be no compromise and that the heads of the constituent companies will not unionize such mills as have up to this time em- ployed non-union men.
 c. M. Schwab, president of the corpora tion, Is reported to have held long con ference with MT Morgan today. MT. Schwab refused to be interviewed.
 The report from Pittsburg that there would be a conference which would re- suit in some offer to the union men was not borne out by the days events. Yet another rumor of the day was that off cers of the Steel Corporation had ar ranged for force of detectives to safe guard the mills should an effort be made at them to resume business.
