Wonderful Navy Shots

 The effectiveness of the Texas firing and the havoc wrought by the shells amazed the fleet Her ruin, under bat tie conditions of rapid firing. would have been effected in 10 minutes. The first two salvos which struck the Texas were sufficient to sink her. She was wholly. crippled as fighting ship in less than two minutes. Though greater effectiveness in gunnery Is now, more than ever, the aim of the navy, 1t must be remembered that the accuracy of the shooting at the Texas surpassed that of any other navy.
 The gunners of the New Hampshire

Now, I know of a certain case, where, simply because the party most concerned was an English man, the Birmingham claim agent-and he belonged to our own road-got the best of him in a clear case of our liability, as think you'll agree.
 You see, it was this way. This old Englishman owns a farm up in lief ferson county, near Walker, and he had the misfortune to lose a valuable colt.
 Hard Lines on the Englishman
 "The animal jumped out of pasture. ran down the railroad track and was killed by a freight train. I've wanted to effect an amicable settlement if pos sible with the old man and sent MT. Blank to see him. "'We are very sorry, of course, that
 
 agent, and hope it will not be neces- sary for us to go into court The old farmer looked at him sus- piciously and shifted about uneasly, but said nothing. "'You must remember continued the claim agent. that your colt was tres paser on our property when the acci- dent occurred We don't want any lit- igation, however, if we can help it, and we'd like to arrange a settlement on a friendly basis "'Well,' said the farmer. I'll tell you what I'll do. I'm very sorry the colt runned on the line, but I'm a poor man and I want to keep out of the courts. I'll give you a couple of dol lars
