The Greatest Gsneraf.

All things duly considered, the great
est general Of whom we have any
knowledge was in all proba bility the
Carthaginian, Hannibal. All the In
formation we have of Hannibal comes
from his enemies, and yet what
achievements they were forced to cred
1t him with! The second Punic war
the most brilliant in history-was prac-
tically one man against whole ma
ton, and that the strongest then
known. With the army that he had
nodded out eof raw and barbarous
levies Hannibal had to fight a. nation
of the stoutest and best trained war
riors Of ancient times, and he had to
do this without any assistance from
home. 1t has been well said that there
is nowhere else an example of what
single man Of genius may achieve
against the most tremendous Odds
