straight east and west, was named after
one of the most celebrated dead ones OF
history. Memphis, Egypt, hasn't had a
fire OF a street fair for 2O00 years and
not even a patent medicine peddler
would bother to tack up a sign on its
site today. Memphis, Tenn. isn't 100
years old vet, but It is making more
noise than Memphis. Egypt, ever did and
will match its big bridge and the New
Gayoso hotel against anything that old
Memphis ever had.
Memphis is located in Tennessee by a
narrow majority, being in the extreme
southwestern corner, and conducts a
general hand-shaking business with the
south and west, by means of its great
steel bridge over the Mississippi. the
only bridge south of the Illinois. PeC1ie
come to Memphis to look at the tall
buildings from all Tennessee. Arkansas
and Mississippi and a Memphis man in
these states steps as high as New York
city man in New Jersey.
Memphis has $4,000 people and re-
CARDS with intense Indignation Birming-
ham, Alabama, which edged past it in
the last census with $1,000. Memphis
is the fourth city in size in the south
and has three great missions-to saw
up all the hardwood in Tennessee, TO
bale all the cotton along the Mississippi
and to provide Arkansans with place
to which to escape. There is a train
over the bridge into Memphis every few
hours, but when the Arkansas man has
waded to the river bank he doesn't wait
for a train-he comes over on the ties
Memphis was great city before the
war and steamboats, used to wait their
turns at her leyee, like men in 4 barber

gotten his cue.
The horse knew how TO do it. but
alas, George Hale, now grown gray,
merely stumbled and tumbled forward,
threw his arms around the old horses
neck. burst into tears, and cried like
baby.
And all the time the old horse turned
his head and kept saying in good horse
language:
For heavens sake, chief. pile in. The
whole thing will burn up before we
get there. Don't you hear what l say?
Tumble into that wagon. and we're
Off"
But George Hale didn't hear-he was
thinking of how this horse had carried
him to a thousand fires-carried him
swiftly and fearlessly up against the
game of life and death-and together
they had gone around the world and
received the approval of a king-and
how a horse once taught never for

GERMANY VIEWS BALKAN
LEAGUE WITH DISTRUST

Cologne. Germany, Sept 25.-An ap-
parently inspired Berlin dispatch to the
Cologne Gazette indicates that the Ger
man government views the league of
Balken countries with profound dis
trust.
The government believes this alliance
is not TO- defensive purposes. but is
a business undertaking designed to
wrest political concessions from Tur-
key. with the intention presently to
demand certain advantages for Bull
but ultimately a joint war looking to
the territorial extension of the allies.
