ATHENS, Feb. 1.-THE glory that
was Greece" like the grandeur that
was Egypt, as well as Rome, Is, from
the purely material standpoint, a
glory that is past. To see that glory
one must be in a certain state OF mind,
rather than in any particular place.
But there remains still enough OF the
material evidences OF the glory OF
Greece TO give even the most unimag-
NATIVE person some inkling OF what
Athens was in it's golden age. The
Parthenon, though in ruins, remains
the worlds most famous building. The
Tai Mahal may be more splendidly
beautiful, the temples of Egypt more
majestic, but the Parthenon. in the
grace Of sheer simplicity, stands SUI
preme. At least most people think

Athens was something more than a
city that built immortal temples. She
was free city, and showed the world
what a free city could do. She never
had to wait till some RUDE state leg
islature gave her permission To put
In an aqueduct or build Parthenon.
She was her own boss, and that was
the secret OF her glory. Fact is Athens

the Athenians called The Acropolis. :"
II was built as temple, dedicated
to the worship Of the virgin goddess
Athena, the patron goddess Of the city
OF Athens. II is the last word In
Doric architecture. Ictinus planned
it and the great Phidias designed the
sculptures that grace the building.
Phidias also made the long-lost but
still celebrated gold and ivory statue
of Athena that stood within the
temple.
Tho Parthenon. built more than 400
years before Christ, stood in good
state of preservation till 1874, when
IL was wrecked by Venetian bomb
shell which exploded powder maya
zine that the Turks had established
in the temple. The English looted
the best of the sculptures from the
pediments about hundred years ago.
They are now in the British museum.

Six pounds and q half Is the weight
Of the average child at birth; at the
end Of the first year the average
weight is eighteen pounds and q half,
q gain OF twelve pounds, and at the
end CT the second year the weight is
twenty-three pounds, a gain of only
four pounds and half. And with each
successive year the gain is less and
less until maturity Is reached. Why
10 the gain less each year? And why
does II finally cease altogether?
The reason IL that the absorbing

Henry Clay AS a Campaigner
| Bv E. ]. EDWARDS

THAT move aroused the old lion
that was in Clay. He determined to
give the Wing leaders the fight OF
their lives; and In line with this de-
termination there appeared one day IN
the Louisville Courier Journal an ad-
vertisenent to the effect that Henry
Clay would address the citizens OF
Kentucky on the public square at Lex
iLgton a certain date upon the issues
of the day. This happened shortly
before the legislature which was to
choose q senator was to be elected.
We'll, this brief advertisement was
enough to set the state wild with ex-
citeneut, and on the day announced
for the speech the town OF Lexington
was crowded to overfowing with peo-
pie from all parts OF the state Inc
public square was one dense mass OF
men and women, and there were many
',On1en.
when Mr.. Clay appeared upon the
