A Ready Answer.

The captain of schooner that trades
between New York and Savannah is
noted for his wit, and on every occa-
sion that offers he loosens his shafts of
humor, to the chagrin and embarrass-
ment of its target. Sooner or later the
stinger gets stung, and this chronic
pun artist is no exception to the rule.
On one occasion when about two
days out from New York he approach
ed group OF sailors who We're wash
ing the forward deck, and, singing
out a big rawboned Irishman who
was experiencing his first taste of
sailors life, he gravely asked, Can
you steer the mainmast down the
forecastle stairs?' Quick as flash
came the reply, ''Yis, sor; | can if you
will stand below and coil it up."-Phil-

CONQUERORS CONQUERED.
The Fate of Alexander, Hannibal,
Caesar and Napoleon.


Caesar and Napoleon.
1t is Il remarkable and instructive
fact that the careers of four of the most
renowned characters that ever lived
closed with violent or mournful deaths.
Alexander. after looking down from
the dizzy heights of his ambition upon
a conquered world and weeping that
there were no more to conquer, died
of intoXication in Il scene of debauch
or, as some suppose by poison mingled
in his wine.
Hannibal, whose name carried terror
to the heart of Rome itself, after hay
Ing crossed the Alps and put to flight
the armies of the mistress of the world,
was driven from his country and died
at last of poison administered by his
own hands in Il foreign land, unla-
mented and unwept.
Caesar, the cOnqueror of 800 cities
and his temples bound with chaplets
dipped In the blood of million of his
foes, was miscrably assassinated by
those he considered his nearest friends.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and
emperors obeycd, after filling the earth
with the terror of his name, closed his
days in lonely Punishment upon bar
rem rock in the midst of the Atlantic
ocean
Such the four men who may be CON
sidered representatives of all whom the
world calls great and such their end

strength would come from the rural
districts.
Contrary to expectations, Bailey
has carried many of the cities, includ
ing Houston, Greenville and Corsi
cana and has an actual majority OF
several thousand on the face of the
returns thus far received, with the
rural districts still to hear from.
In the western section of the state
particularly in the live stock region
the former Mississippian has practi
cally made clean sweep.
Special dispatches received here to
night say that the Bailey men are
already celebrating his victory ant
that anti-Bailey headquarters have
been closed for the night.
Bailey's victory is regarded as ;
complete vindication of his alleged
connection with the Waters-Pierc
