years whom he had met but once, and
then only for five minutes, and re-
membered the topic of their conversa-

OF the most remarkable feats of men,
DRY he had ever known. Such instan-
ces are by no means uncommon, COM

every one. A more wonderful case is
mentioned as true about Henry Clay.
A man approached him on one occa-

answered Clay. The man looked dis
appointed. "Stop a minute" said
Clay suddenly. "You have lost an

preston of countenance. "That re-

mPoems'' by Edward Breene Grimes,
Published by the U. b. Publishing
House.
For this neat little volume of poems
we are indebted to Mr.. Blocher, fore
man of the Book Department Of the
Publishing House, from which the
volume was issued. 1t Is evidently
the first volume of the first poems of a
young author, and although unpreten-
tious in its claims, shows more than or
binary literary ability and taste. The
poems are wholesome and instructive
in their tendency, and are told in par.
tjcuIarly clear and choice language.

missing something on his return, until

he had executed five and forgotten the

he received the reply: "Unto us this
