Two T. B. Reeds.

Jackson (Miss.) Cor. N. o. Picayune.
 Some of the newspapers of the State are displaying a wonderful lot of ignor- ance in regard to the history of their own State. They are entering protests at the portrait of Thomas B. Reed being placed in Historical Hall in the new capi- tol under the supposiaion that 1t Is the portrait of Thomas Bracket Reed, of Maine which has been given a place there The portrait of Thomas B. Reed, now in the Hall of Fame is not that of the Maine man, but a Mississippian, who served the State as Attorney General from 1891 to 1895 and in 1926 was elected to the United States Senate from Missis- who had died. He served five years as q United States Senator and died shortly after leaving the Senate. His home was at Natchez. of which city he was a prominent citizen. His portrait was con tributed by relatives in Yazoo County. While the initials of the two Reeds are the same, they were not related.

Confident Not Only of Giving Auburn Hot Fight But of Stop
 ping That Teams Victorious Career--Big Crowd Coming From Tuscaloosa.

If the Alabama boys will only play the game. they did last week, no team of anything like the same weight can beat them.
 A large crowd of University boys, as well as many Tuscaloosa sympathizers, will come down with the team. If yelling counts for anything at all and roofing In any way attracts victory. the laurels will certainly be with the crimson and white next Friday. The University boys are determined that the long lane of Au- burns victories shall this year take a turn, and Tor that purpose they have put out the very best team the college af- lords. Where there's a will. there's a way.
 The following is a line up of the men who will do or die at Highland Park next Friday evening.
 Alabama-Left end, Lodge; left tackle. Boyles; left guard, Oates center, Gwinn right guard. Fortune; right tackle, Pea wy or Mcqueen; right end, Sherril; ouar- ter back, Wyatt (captain); left half back. Burkes; full back. McMahon; right half back. Smith or Wall.

 There are in India at the present time SIS burghers, who are held as prisoners of war by the British Government. They could return to South Africa in freedom if they would consent to take the oath of allegiance to Kirg Edward, It ap- pears. however, that they have heard that prosperity has not yet made its ap- pearance in the Transvaal and that man has to do an immense amount or labor there to earn enough to buy a square meal Peace was declared sixteen months ago, but these burghers are ap- parently unwilling to be reconstructed as long IS their irreconcilable attitude ln- sures them, without any toll on their part three square meals a day at the expense of the British Government. The joke IS now beginning to pail on John Bull, who has sert Generals Botha, De Wet and Delarey to India to entreat these recall citrant burghers to. take the oath, re- turn to South Africa, and work for a living.

University. Ala. Oct. 20. 1903.


 Although the University has played but two match games this season. and has lost them both. their chances for beating Auburn next Friday are much better than for many years back. Both Vanderbilt and the A. and M. of Mississippi out weighed the Alabama team at least fif- teen or twenty pounds to the man, and being almost equally we'll coached it was in the natural order of things that they should win.
 The Tuscaloosa boys are light, but very fast. and they play with vim and dash that counts for much in the king of college sports. Their team has succeeded at last in getting each man in each play. On the defense they play with more determination and cool grit than ever before. Both of these essential qualities, as well as a good deal of science, were freely displayed by the boys in last Fridays game in Columbus, Miss, when they frequently held for downs the ponderous Mississippians. Coach Blount feels almost certain that

Shakespeare and Football.

It collaterally appears that some peo- pie looked with disfavor on the football player in Shakespeare's time. The au- thor makes it transpire that old King Lear apportions his kingdom among his two daughters, Goneril and Reagan, on the understanding that he is to live with one for time and then go to the other, changing at intervals, says an exchange.
 In Act l., Scene IV., he is found at Gonerils. but she has tired of the old fellow and has instructed her servants to use him lily. Especially does her stew ard, Oswald, follow the direction and so angers old Lear that he cries:
 Lear-You dog! You slave! You cur!
 Osw.-I am none of these, my lord
 Lear-Do you bandy looks with me, you rascal? Striking him.).
 Osw.-Tll not be struck, my lord.
 Kent (disguised)-No tripped neither, you base football player. Gripping him. )
 A term like that seems not compatible with present conditions, especially at this time of the year.

of the camel driver, and the uncouth
beasts, twisting and snarling under
their loads, struggled to their feet.
Another cry and they began their
voyage. They traversed the square,
passed the mosque, turned down a mar
row street, and in five minutes crossed
the line that bounded the oasis and en-
tered upon the desert.
Immediately the dun leader took his
place at the left and slightly in advance.
The fourth on the right Of the dun was
the black racer He carried two wa
ter skins and Abdullahs saddle. Then
came in ranks fifteen camels, Ali riding
in the center. On the right flank rode
the two women, with enormous red and
white cotton SunshadeS stretched be-
hind them: then at an interval Of six
rods came fifteen camelS unattended.
They simply followed the squad in
front. The dun leader and the black
racer had lanyards about their necks.
The other camels had no harness save
the surcingles that held their loads.
In panic, a sandstone, Il fusillade
from Bedouins, a mirage and a race

grasp these lanyards the caravan was
saved since the other camels followed
the dun leader and the black racer as
sheep follow the bellWether.
Abdullah walked at the left, abreast
of the dun. At intervals he rode the
black racer.
The pace of a caravan is two miles
an hour, but Abdullahs the two Grip
pies included, could make two miles
and a quarter. The black racer could
make sixty miles a day for five days
without drinking, but at the end of
such a journey his hump would be no

Some Really Fine Sayings Worthy
of Universal Acceptance.
The Japanese do not expect to gather
grapes from thorns or figs of thistles,
but they phrase our thoughts somewhat
differently. They say, THE spawn Of
frogs will become nothing but frogs"
We have saying, ''Despise not the
day of small things Their Famous
swords are made Of iron scrapings" is
much more picturesque.
The idea of our ''All lay the load on
the willing horse they express by
Those who know the ropes do most Of
the hauling" While our commonplace
"Out of evil good may come" finds with
them fine poetical expression in 1.-THE
lotus springs from the mud" and in
point of poignancy our Adding insult
to injury is vastly inferior to their
Rubbing salt on a sore
The Japanese have some really fine
sayings worthy of universal acceptance,
such as thine own heart makes the
world Or 1.-THE poet at home sees the
entire universe or 1.-The throne of the
god is On the brow Of q righteous man."
Their nice Observance of manners is
evidenced by sayings such as Excess
of pOliteness becomes impOliteness,"
their national suspiciousness in the like
of Don't trust pigeon to carry grain,'
and the handy mans adherence of a
bungler finds expression in numerous
quips such as Learning to swim in a
field Or Scratching the foot with the
shoe on"
