It Is not always the largest foe wuo cau make the greatest disturbance and causn tho most confusion. In bis "Hunting Grounds of the Great West" Ilklmrd Irving Lodge tells of a little luciilont of fhe Mexican war which proves that it is quality, not quantity, which la most effective. Whtlo General Taylor's little army was tnarchins from Corpus Chrlstl to Mut.imorus a soldier of the flank of the column fired at a bull. The animal charged, und tiie soldier, taking to his heels, ran into the column. The bull, uudaunted by the number of the ene my, followed him headlong, scattering several regiiuouts like chaff, and finally escaped unhurt, having demoralized and put to flight an army which a few days after covered itself with glory by victoriously encountering Ave times its number of human enemies. Laigh Hunt's Grave. In the serene silence of Keneal Green cemetery, London, Leigh Hunt's body lies nt rest. A visitor, reaching over the Iron fence to part the fra grant shrubs that shadow the tomb stone, reads these words: "Write me ns one who loves his fel low men." It was his own cheerful philosophy ef life that Ilgb Hunt expressed through the lips of his Abou Ben Ad hem, and the sentiment Is very touch tng come upon in this wny. Disheartened and Discouraged j anJ wenry of life is the man who hat i b.-en driven from his home by' finan - cisl difficulties. The wise man that saves from his income as he goes is saved t'm distress and remorse of the spendthrift or the heedless one, by in venting some of his income in a solid savinns institution like the Columbia County Bank where it is safe and. productive. 5)1 1 1 ff H I t r 'f if; if 41 Urn
