gave a look about the table. We SIX
were just going out of the door in sim
gle file, just as fast as our legs could
carry us, We heard the word Boys y
in the lion-yoice Of Clay, but the re-
mainder of the sentence was drowned in
the shouts Of laughter from his guests.
Formerly very large, well-known,
and somewhat noted billygoat roamed at
large the streets of Washington, and the
newspaper boys, bootblacks and street
imps generally made common cause
against him. Clay never liked to see
dumb animals abused or worried and on
one occasion, while passing down the
avenue, large crowd Of these mischiev-
Gus urchins were at their usual sport.
Mr.. Clay, with his walking-stick, drove
them away, giving them sound lecture
in the meanwhile. As they scampered
off and scattered in every direction,
Billy seeing no one but Mr. Clay within
reach, made charge on him Clay
dropped his cane and caught his goat
ship by the horns The goat would rear
up, being nearly as high as tie tall Ken
tuckian himself and the latter would
pull him down again. This sort Of sport
soon became tiresome, and he could
conceive of no way by which he could
free himself from the two-horned diem
ma, so in his desperation he sang out to
the boys to know what to do. One of
the smallest in the crowd shouted back:
:" Let 90 and run, you did fool" Clay
always maintained that, though he
signed the treaty of peace at Ghent, yet
that ragged boy knew more than he did.
