solid foundation Of remarkably good sense in all that he did and said. privately and officially. He was altogether devoid of pretense or of assumption. He moved on straight line Of impartlaity and Of unbiased thought He did his own thinking and reached his own conclu- sions. When a conclusion was reached it was evident that he had gone over all the ground, had weighed and measured every possible consideration, after which was done il was futile to seek to dislodge him. His scrupulous hrmness sometimes bore the aspect Of sternness. and in the absence of a diplomacy to soften it decision would sometimes of fend the sensitive: but in view of duty, none of these things moved him. lle was not without the cement of genueness and of profound sympathy. but above these rose his conscience. the dictates of which he would not disregard.

a power wisely used with disinterested patriotism The direction of affairs was as devoid of the alloy of personal az grandisement as was possible, and this was duly recognized by the public. Gov ernor Winston went as delegate al large to the Charleston convention in 1880. and after the nomination of MT. Douglas he led the electoral ticket in the state. On the outbreak of the war he became the colonel of the Eighth Alabama regiment
 and as such served for F months, when he was forced to retire from the service by an attack of rheumatism which physi- eally disabled him. His career as a sol dier in the army of Virginia was in har- mony with his general reputation as a civilian. His regiment was hereely en- gagged at Seven Pines. because being at the front it was brought into sharp con- tact with the enemy. The fight was hand to hand with odds In numbers against the gallant Eighth Alabama. Colonel Winston was at the head of his regiment,

A s you go by train westward from "A the city of St. Louis you note a 4 A long line of tall towers leading off to the northwest. The towers are built to hold the big cables that are to convey electric power from the Keokuk dam to the city.
 The big dam is nearly 200 miles away, and the power will be conveyed along seven copper cables running over the tow CTS.
 Sixty thousand horse power will be transmitted from the power house at keokuk to turn the wheels of hundreds of St. Louis factories and provide light for the city. St. Louis has contracted for this 60,OoO horse power which will leave 10000 to be distributed to other cities. And If the demand exceeds this supply other turbines win be put in sufficient to double the capacity and make it 100000 horse power. There was no especial problem in get ting this power to St. Louis. Here was the need; there was the power. All that was required was proper con- nection between the need and the power. However One never ceases to wonder not only at the mysterious phenomena of the hidden power in electricity. but at the possibility of conveying this tremendous power hum dreds of miles by wire. But why wonder?
 Here is a man of wonderful power Where does he get it? Where is the great .dynamo with which he is connected? :? IVshat is the connection?
 The power is not wholly in the man himself
 Every man who has studied himself well knows there is a power outside of himself, that somewhere in the universe Hess connected.
 What is that power?
 He does not know any mere than he
 nows what electricity is. He can name
 but he does not know it.
 But
 He does know there is an infinite power puse through which power is diffused.

TELLING TIME
Many Odd Devices Were Used Before
 Clocks Were Made

From the New York Press.
 Many were the devices for recording the flight of the hours before the com course, was the hour glass which was made of various sizes and capable of recording with tolerable accuracy all most any given interval of time, all though seldom one greater than an hour.
 The burning of candles was another favorite device. Lines were drawn at different elevations for the fractional divisions of the period which the can dle recorded. There was also an in- genious water clock, which is even now occasionally seen in museums. The sun dial for marking true time was much in use In the early days. In our latitude it would not be strictly accu- rate. except on a few days in the year. and its accuracy at other times would be of varying quantity.
 A watch or a clock was as rare in Turkey as an aeroplane Is in some countries today. Even at the present time in the smaller cities and villages of the ottoman empire a timepiece in the house is luxury indulged in by a few of the wealthy class. Nature Is the clock of that land, clock that new CT stops or fails to serve it's purpose The crow of the cock Is the simplest the sun the most dependable and con venient, and the cats eye the most diff hcult and. to orientals, the most humor ous of time pieces.
 The cock crows regularly morning forenoon. afternoon and evening, and serves the purpose of the striking clock of bclfry tower. Sometimes a cock crows at irregular intervals. In that case he is unfortunate in Turkey, since superstition demands that his head be chopped off without delay, for to tol- crate an ''ill-crowing' cock would be to court disaster.
 Still another method of telling time

roHN A. WINSTON enjoyed the dis
 tinction of being the first native o born governor of the state. He was native of Madison county. where he was born in 1872, and received his col legiate training at LaGrange college and the University of Nashville. His grand father was an officer in the army of the Revolution from Virginia. The family name of Anthony was preserved in that given the governor.
 Gov. John Anthony Winston first de voted his attention to planting. He re- moved from the mountain region to west Alabama in 1884. and bought a fine plan tation In Sumter county. one of the coun- ties of the famous black belt. Six years after his settlement in Sumter county he was chosen its representative to the leg islature. To this office he was reelected and then chosen for the state senate, which position he continued to hold for

HEART TO HEART TALKS-By Edwin A. Nye

fly the blood and your nervous sys tenn is normal and under control.
 And
 On account of better circulation, diges- tion and breathing your body and brain work easier. you sleep well, rest repairs waste and every sense is keen. In short you are at your best.
 On the contrary, hatred, envy, morose- ness and the like are veritable toxins real poisonsl
 It has taken our world long time to learn these simple facts. Only within re- cent years has science considered the tre- mendous effect of mind over body.
 Thousands of years ago the healthful- ness of happiness and the evil effects of .pessimism were known.
 The Bible is full of it.
 Especially one book of the Bible known as Proverbs The book is full of state- ments like these:
 He that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
 "A merry heart maketh a cheerful coun- tenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is. broken.
 "IIeaviness in the heart of man maketh 1t stoop. but good word maketh it glad"
 "A merry heart doeth good like medi- cine.' psychologists are just now getting hold of ''As man thinketh in his heart so is he"
 Think cheerful thoughts and you will not only be cheerful, but normal-and happy and prosperous.
 Mind is supreme.
 Thoughts are real things
 As man thinketh in his heart so is he bodily, mentally, spiritually.
 'I have found," said J. Pierpont Nor gan to the Senate investigating commit tee. that gratitude is a strange com modity''
 Doubtless.
 Because gratitude is not commodity at all. A commodity is something that may be bought or sold. It is on the mar ket
 Neither is gratitude strange
 It may be scarce where MT. Morgan has looked for it, but it abounds in many places.
 MT. Morgan has given away few of his many millions. but the world has felt he still owes more than he has given. The gifts of Morgan and Rockefeller are regarded as acts of restitution.
 Now:
 Suppose gratitude were a commodity
  rich men would get more than their share of it.
 They could get monopoly on grati- tude,
 Where is gratitude to be found? Not in business. That is game of get. not give. Not in, social circles. Society takes and holds.

Now
 Any one who has handled dynamite for years, as this man had knows very well what will happen to a swiftly moving train when 1t hits three big packages of that explosive.
 What should he do-abandon the ma chine and dynamite and save his life or get rid of the dynamite and save the train and the passengers?
 He decided
 Putting away all thoughts of his own safety, he began to unload the dyna- mite and put it out of all reach of the train. He threw off the first package, the second, the third and then
 The steam of the roaring engine en- veloped him. He tried to save himself, but

 A hero!
 Said the engineer who helped to put the poor remains into the baggage car:
 Its one of them stupid Swedes. They have got as much sense as a chair. Prob- ably wanted to save some vegetables he had there and expected the train to watr'
 And the passengers who crowdedcuri- ously around the body had no hint of ths horrible death from which they had been saved by the stupid Swede"

ever broken his word to the governor
 He treats them as If they were honor able men. He lets them see that he be- lieves they are not wholly bad. He banks on their sense of honor. and they regard their obligation as binding.
 He does not preach.
 He relies on manhood.
 And somewhere down deep in some corner of their souls he finds the spot where honor lives
 You say this is revolutionary and will destroy the discipline of penitentiary? But 1t succeedsl
 You say it Is experimental and may fail with some? But it has not failed!
 Maybe the governor of Arizona has learned a secret of the human heart re- vealed 2o0o years ago by young prophet of Galilee, who was able to change sinful harlots into saints and common fishermen into martyrs.
 Been knocked down?
 Or have you fallen down as the result of your own stupid stumbling?
 Well, you are not the first to feel the force of the fist of misfortune, nor the first to trip himself by awkward travelling.
 And you. say, NO one has so many troubles. no one has had such i'll luck as l."
 Nonsense,
 How do you know how many times yon smiling fellow has fallen or been topple1 over by some adverse wind?
 And say
 Do you know when you commence to deplore your fallen condition and bemoan your personal fate you lessen your power to get up and walk like man?
 It is no disgrace to have been bowle1 over by a strong tackle or to have ripped yourself. The disgrace inheres in lying there Because. once down, you know the worst is over.
 Get upl
 Get up-if only on your hands and knees. If you cant stand erect crawl
 It is a craven thing to lie there on your face and whine and make no effort. If you are badly wounded there are good samaritans who will lift you up, but if you are a little stunned and scratched and lie prone passersby will merely shrug their shoulders at the spectacle.
 Get up
 Get up and learn your lesson. If your feet have slipped because Of careless habit watch hereafter where you put them. If the fall was no fault of yours get up and rub your wounded shins and trudge on.
 Do you want the rules Of the road sus- pended just for you?
 What sort of pampered baby would you be were there no rocks in the way and no sharp corners to turn and no fierce winds to face? Jumping hurdles makes muscles
 Yours is the common lot of the traveller You learn the road by going over if. You develop endurance by falling down and getting up again.

later than the witnesses had testified they had met the accused.
 The testimony given by the astrono- mer was so clear and conclusive that there remained no doubt in the minds of anyone that the accused could not have committed the crime. It was shown that it would have been impos- sible for the witnesses to have seen ths accused at the scene of the crime at the time 1t was alleged to have been com. mltted. The aecused was acquitted.

Biblical Versifications

From the London Chronicle.
 Yersihcations not only of the Psalms but of other books of the Bible. were numerous in the sixteenth century. One of the most prolific versifers was William Hunnis, who. under such fancifu titles as Seven Sobs of a Sorrowful Soul for Sin "A Handful of Honeysuckle," "A Hiveful of Honey" etc, published num- Der of rhyming versions of Genesis and Job which are now worth their weight in gold to the bibliomaniac. Another prom inent biblical versiher was Christopher Tee. who rendered the Acts of the Apos- ties into such verse as.

Moreover. the Psalm Is set to a Gregorian air, which the modernists have not dared to alter. so we sing today the same words and air in hymn form that were sung over 300 years ago. l am sure Tate's hymn must take second plnce in popularity to "All People That on Earth Do Dwell" which is called in Sternhold's collection "Jubllate Dec emnes.

Like many other observers, we
have been looking closely for signs
OF any considerable detection from
the democratic party to Roosevelt
There are certainly no indications OF
any to the present. No democrats
of national standing or influence are
figuring in the Roosevelt movement
absolutely none This Is good ev-
idence that the radical wing of the
democratic party will be held fast to
the democratic ticket: and when the
stnmping begins, Mr.. Bryan can be
depended upon to hold his old follow
ers pretty closely in line against Mr.
RooseWelt's appeals to them for sup
port. Mr.. Hearst Is not unlikely to
join Mr.. Roosevelt next month, or
earlier, but Mr.. Hearst has not sup
ported democratic presidential tick
ct in a dozen years Thus far Mr..
Roosevelt has not even united the
radicals of the Republican party In
his support, and there Is less and
less prospect that La Toilette will go
with him. The dream of bringing
the radicals of all parties into the
bull moose movement Is destined TO
be beyond Mr. Roosevelt's powers.
He must eliminate himself and work
for another in order to do that.
