Literature In Georgia.

Colonel Scooter, the celebrated au-
thor, desires to swap the manuscript
of new novel for young mule ia
mIliar with plowing. The Authors
club gave a hot dinner last Wednes-
day. at which. in literary dispute,
the recording secretary was struck on
the head and left ear with Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary. There were
more words than blows, however. The
editors mother-in-law published anon
ymously a book she had written. A
copy was sent to the editor and he
criticised 1t severely. After the criti-
cism appeared u friend whispered the
name OF the author. The editor then
packed his valise and left for parts
unknown. We propose writing his
torical novel Just as soon as we can
hire reliable young man to manufac-
ture history for it.-Atlanta Constitu-

IN HIS WESTERN DAYS.
An Anscdote That Shows the Observing
Character OF President Roosevelt.

An Ansc,iote That Shows the Observing
Character OF President Roosevelt.
Much of President Roosevelt's per-
sonality Is shown in the following
story by chance acquaintance on a
train. The first time. says the mar
rator. that | ever saw him was back
in the early sos. | met him on a
sleeping car coming east from Wyom-
ing, where he had been visiting his
ranch on the edge of the bad lands.
At that time he was unknown to the
public except as the author of few
magazine articles on western life, but
luckily | had read them and they
formed a bridge for conversation. l
found him a burly young man with
heavy brown beard. which he had al
lowed to grow during his trip. and
with manners that were nervous and
abrupt, but nevertheless very engag-
ing. He was just recovering from an
attack of snow blindness and wore
large blue glasses. SO he was pretty
well disguised. There were eight or
ten passengers on the car. represent
ing the usual wide variety of type to
be found on the frontier and remem-
Der that Roosevelt easily took the lead
in conversation. His versatility and
the extent of his information were sur
prising. and there was vein of quaint
humor that ran through his talk and
lent a certain sparkle to almost every
thing re said. Somebody remarked.
for instance. that he had recently vis-
tied a new mining camp in the Black
hah tn TO a
drink of execrable whisky.
You can always determine a camps
age and stage of development by the
price charged for drinks" said Roose-
welt chuckling. "Four-bit whisky
means recent occupation, unsettled
conditions and the presence of one half
barrel. which some fellow has brought
over the trail on burro. Two-bit
whisky indicates that. the regulation
boom Is on, that tenderfeet are plenty
and that regular communication with
the outside world has been established.
The next drop to three for a half is
not sign of slump. but merely
shows that the first excitement has
passed and the town is getting down
to what they call business basis
Fifteen-cent drinks mean that the
business basis Is reached. courts have
been established, n school-house is be-
ing built, claim jumping has become
bad form, plug hats are tolerated and
faro banks have moved upstairs. Any
further decline, however," added Mr..
Roosevelt, lis a danger signal. Two
for-a-quarter whisky is sure sign of
deterioration, and scent beer means
that stampede has set in for the next
diggings That's the way to read the
alcoholic thermometer of the woolly

Has Never Failed.
No record of industrial failure has
ever been ent red against this man.
Everything he has tax n hold of has
resulted in great and und v.ded divi-
,dcnds. For Senator Clark is not n
head or part of a combine or corpora
tion. He himself is the head. the
heart, the soul, the creator, the direc-
tor and general superintendent. He
is master of d tai $. systematizer,
and therein, he says. lies the secret Of
his successful business career.
Men who know both say w. A. Clark
is head and shoulders above J. Pier
pont Morgan as business man. Clark
creates industries; Morgan formulates
combines to absorb created industries.
Clark alone runs his mighty busi
ness; Morgan doesn't. No mind but
the senator's from Montana is recog
nized in his affairs. No boa d of di
rectors pass upon his ideas. He is the
whole thing. 1t isn't so with Morgan.
Everything he is connec'ed with has
its board of directors. each of whom
conceives ideas and nurses thsm as
tenderly as Morgan.

SENATOR WILLIAM A. CLARK
the quarry was to supply granite for
his New York mansion. Every piece of
granite is cut to fit certain place in
the growing palace in New York. The
quarrymen have the architects plans
to go by and each piece of granite Is
numbered to correspond with the num-
ber in the specifications. The quarry
yields beautiful white granite of
kind unlike any other in ths world.
One hundred skilled quarrymen with
compressed air drills carve out huge
slices of this pure granite, each slice
being destined to fit specified niche
in the New York mansion. Seventy
five skilled stone cutters receive the
granite at Polt!and and chip the slices
into dressed condition. Then the
dressed slices are wrapped in bagging,
garnished with Stats and shipped by
train or boat to New York Senator
Clark waited nearly two years for
certain company to furnish the grant
and then brushed them aside, bought
quarry adjoining the procrastinating
company's works and equipped it him
self.

1t is said that the quarry owners

raising the price OF granite and marked

would pay the freight. But the mil

Senator Clark is So years old. me-

most striking feature is found in the
eyes. Clear, steady, piercing, they
reach ones thoughts before they are
put in words. Eyes that seem like
flashes of FURNISHED steel, at first, they

They are good eyes-nothing sinister
or underhanded lurk in their depths.
With eyes like these man can see
clearly his own plans and perceive
more clearly points in an opponents
campaign. Ten years hence it is ad-
mitted on all sides that Senator Clark
will be the richest man in the world
