Two young married men, one resid-
ing in Memphis and the other at
Nashville. are constantly boosting the
good points Of their respective cities,
and pointing out the shortcomings of
the others home town. Neither
missed an oportunity to give a boost
or knock when it is afforded.
The Nashville man is the proud
possessor of fine ten-pound boy baby,
only about week old, and that baby
is responsible for the Memphian's s
latest slam at the village on the Cum
berland.
The morning of the baby s birth the
Nashvillian sent this telegram to the
Memphis man:
Better come to Nashville. Got a
fine ten-pound boy"
Now the Memphian has no child,
and therefore the Nashville man
thought he had one'' on his friend
in this, city. Fhe Memphian, howey-
er, got back at his Nashville friend by
sending this message in reply to the
foregoing telegram -..-
Name him Memphis and watch
him grow. ''-Memphis Scemitar.

In the December McClure's, Miss
Ida NJ. Tarbell beginning the second
part Of her history OF the Standard
OH Company, and it displays all the
qualities that have made the first
part already famous. These qualities,
briefly, might be enumerated thus:
Firstly, an accumulation of facts,
absolutely surprising in their mere
quantity, and which is still more in
their significance finally. Secondly,
an admirable effectiveness in the pre-
sentation OF those facts. Miss Tarbell
is even balanced and impassive. She
never rants. She probes, and then
points to the significant fact calmly,
silently. She never how}s and raves
her arms and grows indignant over
what she has found. She brings it
out into the full glare Of her exposi-
tion, and then passes on disdaining to
play upon the passion aroused in the
reader. And that is the method of
a true historian.

BRIGHT FOR THE SOUTH.
Treasury Figures Indicate Prosperity in
This Section for the
Year 1904.

WARRINGTON, Jan. 4.-The new
year, 80 far as the treasury depart
ment figures may indicate, has opened
auspiciously for the Southern States.
One Of the most interesting features
OF the operations OF the treasurer's
office during the old year has been the
enormous shipments of currency to
the West and South, particularly to
the South. Up to date these ship
mentS amount for the twelve months
to something over $35, 600, 600, while
for the same period precedidg the
shipments were but $21, 700, 900. This
is taken to mean that the cotton
planters have been making a lot of
money the past few months, for the
greater part OF the money went to
pay for the cotton crop.
Since Ocsober l, 1898, the circula-
tion OF money per capita in the Unit
ed States has gone from $24.24 to
S30.2l. While nowhere else are checks
and drafts like paper used to the same
extent as in this country, no other
people. except the French, which
claims $50. 32, have so much money to
each person. Great Britain's per cap
ita circulation is Sl82 20, Germany's
$20.4S. Canada's S14.39, Russia s
but Sc. 80.
Money now in circulation in the
United States is So, 449, 1853, 900. There
was gain in the total during the year
of something like $98, ,OO0. 900.

It Should Not be Thus.

A Jackson correspondent to the

A new industry that is attracting
much attention in the industrial cir
cles of the State is mammoth chair
factory to be launched near dinter
City by Chicago tinanciers. 1t will
have a capital stock of 500, 900 and
the company has purchased a large
tract of hardwood timber land, from
which material will be secured.

THE BlOODlEST OF BATTLES.

The battle Of Borodino fought be-
tween the French and Russians near
Moscow in 1872, was the most murd-
erous fight, not only of the last century
out, perhaps, Of the last 500 years.
The records show that Borodino
engaged armies OF from l20, 900 to 13O,-
600 on each side: that there was but
On9 day Of vigorous fighting; that the
French, after pouring a most murder
GUS cannon fire upon the Russians,
advanced upon the Russians position,
were repeatedly repulsed with terrible
T loss, and finally rushed the soldiers Of
the Gar oft their feet and out their
vantage ground. The French won,
but lost 1000 killed on the field and
26, 900 wounded. Fifteen thousand
Russians were slain and 30, 900 wound
ed. Out OF about $50, 900 men who
made up the contending armies, 85,-
600, or 81 per cent-more than one
third-were struck by bullets, bay
Onets or swords.
At Waterloo about $4,000 men
were killed or wounded out of perhaps
200, 900 engaged. At Gettysburg a.
bout 160, 900 fought, and each army
ndd approximately, 3OOO killed ana
IA, 900 wounded. In the Wilderness
probably 200, 900 men were in action,
and the fght-which lasted a week or
more-resulte1 in a combined loss of a.
hOut 5000 killed and 10000 wounded.
Borodino, a fight now almost for
gotten, which had no influence on the
history of the world, and which, SO
for rs actual results went. need not
even have been fought, was the blood
lest of modern battles. NapOleOn'S
victory availed him nothing, for he was
burned out of Moscow anyway, and
the Russians simply sacrificed men in
i vain attempt at triumph which
the SHOWS OF winter soon brought
them anyhow, The most cory OF bat
ties was also the m1st useless. and is
now one OF the least remembered

Londoners Lost TbeIr WAY.

LONDON, Dec. 22.-London is lost in
a fog, and as last night closed in the
density increased and vehicle traffic in
the most crowded section Of the center
of London was completely stopped.
~Singularly the fog was not so thick in
the east end as in the west end, but
within a circle of a mile with Trafalgar
square as the center it was so Opaque
that foot passengers lost their way.
The most brilliant electric lights only
served to make the darkness visible.
Torch boys were requistioned, and
they did a roaring trade. Queen Alex
andra, who intended to leave London
for Sandringham last night, postponed
her departure on account of the fog
and the consequent difficulty of driv-
ing to the station from Buckingham
palace.
