JEFFERSON E SEAT OF WAR

Tricks of the amenders to carry the election on November 29 are being so closely checked up by the anti-amend- rnent party. that. according to the leaders of the defenders of the consti- tuition, the efforts of the other side are without avail. , ,
 There were a number of the amend ment speakers who came to the Ex- change Hotel in this city Wednesday evening. and they came here with anything but cheer for their cause. They are headed Jefferson county way and, from what can be gathered from them, they have practically abandoned the fight in the state generally, and are going to spend all of their re- served ammunition on Jefferson coun- ty. .4fta
 At the antfSamendment headquarters on Wednesday evening there were number of speakers for the defend CTS cause who stopped over for a few minutes while passing through this city. There was not single one of them who came in with discourag- ing news, but on the contrary, they declared that 1t looked as though there would be veritable landslide against the proposed amendment and the perpetuation of Comerism in this state. 5ss s.

 The little bow made out. of small United States flag Is going. to tell, according to the nti-amendment leaders, in the coming election. The demand for these emblems is tremen- dous and cannot be accommodated. All day Wednesday the headquarters of the anti-amenders was besieged with requests for these flag bows. and these requests could not be compiled with because the demand was greater than the supply.
 Late Wednesday night there was word received from Chambers county that 1t Is absolutely safe against the The people in this coun- ty are largely mill operatives and far mers. and these people have thought out. the question so well for sthem- selves. that even Congressman Tom" Heffin. from that district. has failed to have any influence over them.
 The anti-amenders, predicted two weeks ago that the amendment is beaten. and. according to their leaders. they have no reason to change their opinion at the present time.

GAVE THE ANSWER.
A Soldier Who Followed the Orders Of
General jackson.

Illustrative of the eXasperating ease
with which chickens occasionally come
home to roost' is this story from "a
Soldiers Letters to Charming Nellie"
On day in June, 1862, In the early
part of the civil war General Hood of
the Texas brigade halted each regi-
ment in turn and gave his orders. 10
the Fourth he said:
Soldiers of the Fourth, | know as
little of your destination as you do. If,
however, any of you learn or suspect
1t, keep 1t a secret. To every one who
nsks questions answer, Il don't know
We are now under the orders of Gen
eral Jackson, and I repeat them to
you"
General Jackson also gave strict or
ders against foraging, but apples were
plentiful, and 1t was contrary to nature
for hungry soldiers not to eat them.
and so 1t came about that on the
march to Staunton General Jackson
came upon II Texan sitting on the
limb of an apple tree busiy engaged In
filling his haversack with the choicest
fruit.
The general reined In his old sorrel
horse and in his customary curt tone
asked:
"What are you doing in that tree,
slr?" .t...
81 don't know" replied the Texan.
"What command do you belong to"
81 don't know"
as your command ahead of you or
behind you?"
81 don't know"
Thus It went on, 81 don't know" Civ
en- as answer to every question. Final
ly Jackson asked sternly:
"Why do you give me that answer
to every question:
"'Cause thems the orders our gen.
eral gin us this mornin', an he tole
us he got 'em that err way straight
from ole Jackson" replied the man in
the tree.
Disguised with too literal obedi-
ence to his own commands, but yet
not caring to argue the point General
Jackson rode on.

POWER OF WATER.
Under Certain Conditions It is Prao-
tically Irresistible.


ticalIy Irresistible.
When man goes In swimming at
the seashore and slaps the water fOrci-
bly, with his hand or takes back dive
from a pier and lands squarely ON his
back he realizes that the unstable
liquid offers not little resistance.
Yet, says writer In the New York
Tribune, it would surprise almost any
body to see what water will do under
certain conditions.
A stream from fireman's hose will
knock man down. The jet from a
nozzle used In placer mining In the
west eats away large piece of land
In day, toyh with great powders as
IL they were pebbles and would shoot
man over the country as though he
were a projectile from a cannon.
There is story of an eastern black
smith who went west and made a bet
that he could knock hole through
the jet of one of these nozzles with
sledge hammer. He lifted his arms,
swung the sledge and came down on
the ten inch stream with force that
would have dented an anvil. But the
Jet, never penetrated, whlsked the
massive hammer out of the black
smiths hands and tossed 1t several
hundred feet away into the debris of
gold bearing gravel beneath a crum-
bling cliff. After this the blacksmith
left out iron when he spoke Of hard
substances.
There Is also u power plant near
Durango, Colo, where United States
cavalryman one day thought he had
an easy job in cutting two inch
stream with his sword. He made
valiant attack. The result was that
his sword was shivered In two and
his wrist broken.
A little thinner jet Of water descend
ing 1,69Q feet to manufactory at
Grenoble,1 1Spain, and travelling at the
moderate speed of 100 yards a second
fractures the best blades of Toledo.
OF course some people will not be-
lieve such s-,ries without having seen
the thing, and one may think 1t proof
Of the scier tific imagination to say
that an inch thick sheet Of water, pro-
vided it had sufficient velocity, would
ward off bombshells as well as steel
plate.
Nevertheless many persons while
travelling have seen brakeman put
small hydraulic jack under one end
Of Pullman car and lift twenty tons
or so by few leisurely strokes of the
pump handle, and the experience of
riding every day in hydraulic ele-
vator tends to remove doubts Of the
magic power possessed by water hitch
ed to q machine.

THE DEvILFISH.
He ls Not Man Eater, but a Gently
Reared Monster.

Reared Monster.
Contrary to popular belief, the devil
fish is not a man eater, according to
an official publication issued by the
Smithsonian institution, Washington,
after an authoritative study of the sub
ject by DR.. Theodore Gill; associate in
zoology in the national museum. "The
food Of the devilflshes," he says, $50
far from being large animals and oc-
caslonally man or so, as has been al
legged, appears to be chiefly the small
crabs, shrimps and other crustaceans
and young or small fishes. Rarely does
one prey on large fishes"
DR.. Gill says that In number Of re-
spects the young devilfish grows up
under nursing and training remarkably
like that of human being. 1t is nour-
ished, for instance, from its mothers
milk. 1t is popularity Of the devil
fish, he adds, that, instead of laying
many thousands or millions of eggs, 1t
normally has only single young one
at birth. A baby devilfish is some
times as broad as five feet and weighs
twenty pounds or more.
DR.. Gill adds that devilfishes move
about from place to place in sort of
submarine flight, speeding themselves
along by flaps Of the long winglike
fins

Day Dreams.

If you have particular piece Of
work to do, get 1t done. Don't wait
for the mood to strike you.
Don't dream! There are more pre-
cious hours wasted in day dreams
than any Of us would care to think
about If we counted them.
The queer thing about day dreams
is that so few Of them ever amount
to anything. The dreamer Is only
semiconscious when building his air
castles, so, as rule, they have no
practical foundation.
While you are at work, keep your
mind on what you are doing, and do
not let 1t wander off to what you
would like to be doing. Only by keep
Ing your mind on what You are doing
now can you bring 1t fresh and keen
to the things you like doing best when
the time for doing them comes. Think
ing too much about even great happi-
ness takes the ledge" off it.
The best time for day dreams Is
after you have gone to bed.-New

A ONE NIGHT CONVERT.
Incident In the Temperance Career Of
Father Mathew.

In 1S43, when Father Mathew was
crusading for total abstinence in Lon
don, he created no small amusement
for large party at the hospitable
mansion of an Irish nobleman by his
attempts, partly playful, but also part
ly serious, to make convert of Lord
Brougham, who resisted good humor-
edly, but resolutely, the efforts of his
jealous neighbor. The incident is re-
lated by Katharine lyman in her biog-
raphy of Father Mathew.
81 drink very little wine," said
Brougham, "only half glass at lunch.
con and two half glasses at dinner.
And, though my medical adviser told
me l should increase the quantity, |
refused to do So"
"He was wrong, my lord, for ad-
vising you to increase the quantity, and
you were wrong in taking the small
quantity you do" said Father Mathew.
"but have my hopes Of you"
And 80, after pleasant resistance
on the part Of the learned lord, Father
Mathew invested his lordship with the
silver medal and ribbon, the insignia
and collar of the new order of the
Bath"
"Then will keep It," said Brougham,
''and take 1t to the house, where l
shall be sure to meet old Lord - the
worse for liquor, and I will put 1t on
him"
The announcement of this intention
was received with much laughter, for
the noble lord referred to was notori-
Gus for his potations.
Lord Brougham was as good as his
word, for on meeting the veteran peer
he said "Lord =, have a present
from Father Mathew for you" and
passed the ribbon. rapidly over his
neck.
'Then i tell you what 1t is Brough-
am. I will keep sober for this night"
was the peers unexpected response
And he kept this vow, to the amaze
ment of his friends.
