HEART TO HEART TALKS-By Edwin A. Nye

 And then we go home.
 Well, if the girls but realized, they got a lot of fun out of their planning and their building. and so must we. There fore let us take what Joy may come to us from the passing moment

 Day after day the whistle blows, the little engine feels the clutch that calls for highr speed and power. and slowly, but surely the beams are placed.
 The building Is going up tho only way 1t can go up-piece by piece.
 First there Is plan.
 The architect thinks 1t all out. Then he makes a rough draft of It. And his assistants work out every detail elaborate ly in blue prints. The building must fol- low the plan.
 So is every great task performed.
 All work that is worth while is planned in advance. It is bodied forth by the imagination of the thinker He sees it in his minds eye from the very beginning of it.

was flercely engaged on the second day. At the battle of Pennington, his com mand being absent, he served tempor- arily on the stan of General Bragg. At Bonneville he attracted great atten- tion by his dashing and daring con duct, and 1t was here that he won the stars of brigadier. With only 200 men he engaged General Rosecranz at Ten Islands, resisting a force of 1900 men.
 From Ten Islands he was ordered to Dalton, which point he reached in ad- vance of his command, and was assigned to duty on General Folks staff and par ticipated in a series of conflicts At Cass- vile Clanton was brilliantly successful in transporting the artillery and stores of the army across the Etowah river, The success was so signal and accomplished so coolly that he won the public thanks of his superior officers

commissioned a brigadier general in the militia organization of the state as early as 1855. A whig politically he supported as an elector the Bell and Everett ticket In '1S6o, but in recog- hilton of his allegiance to his native state he sank out of view his political theories and aequiesced in the popular will in the adoption of the ordinance of secession.
 He was among the first to enlist on tho commencement of the war, raised company of cavalry and was sent to Pensacola, which point promised in the outset to be one of the strategic strong holds of the south. Subsequently he raised a regiment of cavalry, being the first of that arm of the service raised in the state Assigned to duty in the western army, Colonel Clanton was soon promoted to a brigadiership. His bri- gade opened the battel of Shiloh and

 Annuther inconnium which is cum ming to Peerp, is, that he has won the everlasting affectsion of Wall street and the Guvvermint by cumming to the Rescue of Bizness during Pan- hicks.

This ended his career as a soldier, for he was not released until the first of May. three weeks after the capitulstion at Appomat- tox. Signal as his services were on the field, they were equally so after the close of the war. Resuming his law practice at Montgomery, he was the chosen leader of the democratic party of the state, for about five years, a period of contest against the alien hordes which infested Alabama during the regime of recon struction, and none dared to oppose him on occasions of aggression or defense in behalf of the people. During that trying time the name of Clanton became a household word throughout the state, and

 You can do big things,

 The other day I read letter that al- most made me cry.
 The letter was from young girl of about Il years 10 Q friend of mine. urg- ing him to help save her family from go- ins to pieces. For year her father and mother had been quarreiing, and now they had agreed the mother should apply for divorce. They supposed the secret had been well kept from the little daughter, but she had overheard much of the diff ficulty and the whole wretched agree nicnt.
 My friend was bold enough to inter- vene-in vain,
 And I can still hear the piteous wall of that poor child as 1t was voiced in her tear stained letter.
 Now, 1 do not say where a couple is childless and after long rorbearance and patience 1t is found impossible to agree there never should be a divorce nor that on scriptural grounds there may never be ca nse for separation

 A alrous citizen than Gen. James A II. Clanton. He was the efnbod- iment of courage, he.soul of honor and a peerless patriot. He was native of Macon county, his father being wealthy farmer and 0 citizen of vast influence. Though disinclined to pub lic life, the elder MT. Clanton was twice summoned to the service of the state, once as a representative and again as a senator. The son was amply equipped for life by a. thorough course at the state university.

he was hailed as the peoples defender.
 The qualities of his character were a rugged honesty which spurned to take the slightest advantage of even the most contemptible foe, an undaunted courage, which was never known to quail, loyalty, fidelity and noble generosity. In the display of these he excited admiration to the limit of his acquaintanceship.
 In the memorable contest of the state against the Alabama and Chattanooga railroad, otherwise known as "Stantons Road" General Clanton was engaged as the counsel for the state,' In which ca- pacity he was called to Knoxville, Tenn. where he met his tragical death at tho hands of T. A. R. Nelson, formerly an officer in the federal army.
 In the court, General Clanton had de- livered 8 remarkable speech against those who sought to take advantage of the state of Alabama, and learned little later of some sinister designs of vio-

 Whereupon Lucius sings. The margin of the text has Music and Song" On this particular occasion the song was sung to the tune of Manoah. I do not re- member the words; they were not Shake speare's. for no song is given in the drama. At the conclusion of the song Brutus says:
