A Trout that Winks His Eye.

In one of the small streams which 60
TO swell the Ammonoosuc river, in the
White mountains, there has dwelt for
some years last past most noted trout
He is about the only inhabitant Of his
species in the place, all others having
long since been tished out. And he
has got to be big fellow, and as beau
tiful as he is big His length is at
least foot and one-half while his
weight is variously estimated at from
three to six, and even seven pounds,
according to the enthusiasm of the be-
holder. He can frequently be seen,
shining with his spots gloriously in the
sun, and looking ripe and luscious in
the shade, as he moves about or poises
without the least motion under the
bank 1t is safe to say that any one of
the trout cranks who have been seeking
his capture this season would willingly
pay tenfold his value to pull him out
But all schemes for his undoing have
thus far failed. He has been beset at
daylight and at twilight. Even the
children have been withheld from feed
ing him for term, to the end that he
might get hungry, and in an unguarded
moment snap at fly or worm conceal
ing the fated hook But it has been all
to no purpose. The cunning fish ever
plays with his would-be entrappers. it is
said. In conversation with one of
these, j was informed with good deal
of feeling that the saucy trout had
actually winked one eye at him on the
previous day eyes, SIR" said my in
terlocutor, "that fish came up to my fly
and nosed it. / trcmbled SO L could
hardly hold my rod still. Having sat
isfed himself as to the fly, he backed
off little and started for another fell
lows bait, half dozen yards further
up. AS he passed by / saw him-yes,
sir, actually saw him-shut one eye and
squint at me. If I'd had spear ]
would have thrown it at him. Yes, sir,
/ would, sure !"-BoSton Traveller.

Henry Clay.

Henry Clay was born near Richmond,
Va, April II, 1777. His father died in
1852, and ten years later his mother
married again and moved to Kentucky,
leaving Henry as clerk in Richmond.
In 1917 Henry followed her, and opened
law Office in Lexington. He took an
active part in the framing of new con-
stitution for Kentucky, upon her sepa-
ration from Virginia, when he strongly
urged some provision for the abolition
of slavery, but in vain. From this
time he became prominent in politics.
In 1903 a State Senator, United
States Senator in 1906, one of the
negotiators of peace in theWar of 1872,
and twice Speaker of the House, he
was no stranger TO craftsmanship when
in 1924 he appeared as candidate for
the Presidency He was defeated,
however, as was also the ease in 1882
and 1914, when he was the candidate of
the Wing party. AS an orator, he
stands among the very first that this
country has produced. AS a statesman,
he was far-seeing, wise political econ
omist, devoted lover of the Union,
and absolutely incorruptible. Il would
rather be right than be the President"
is one of his utterances, made under
circumstances that tested his sincerity.
Heoaverted Threatened secession in 1921
by bringing forward the Missouri
Compromise, again in 1850 by another
compromise known as the Omnibus
Bill The effect Of these pacific
measures was to defer the inevitable
final appeal to arms until the strength
of the free States had outgrown the
slave power, and the Union was able tc
grapple with secession and throttle it,
AS one of the Commissioners who nego
tiated the treaty of Client, ut the close
of the second war with England, he
caused the erasure of the clause grant,
ing free navigation of the Mississippi to
British vessels. Protection to Ameri-
can industry through wise adjustment
of the tariff, found in him one of the
ablest of its early champions. Mr..
Clay married Lucretia Hart, 1899, who
bore him six daughters and five sons
The last of the daughters died in 1885.
OF the sons, the most promising, Henry,
born, in 1911, fell at the battle OF
Buena Vista, Feb. %, 1S47. James B.,
born in 1917, was a representative in
Congress from his fathers old district,
1879. He was member of the Peace
Commission in 1861; died at Montreal,
Jan. 26, 1864. Thomas Hart, born in
1903, took Office under President
Lincoln as Minister to Nicaragua, and,
later, to Honduras. He died at Lex.
ington, KY. March Is, 1871.

The party conventions, which usual
ly view great many things with
alarm says the Chicago Herald, have
not as yet taken up the question of En-
glish landlordism in America. There
is room here for a political party to
make point in its own favor. Find
ing public land in the United States
going for song, many English noble
men have made extensive purchases
A dozen of these gentlemen own 100,-
900 or more acres, and score of others
have holdings running all the way from
10000 to $4,000 acres. These enor-
nous tracts of land, it Is fair TO pre-
sumo, have been permanently with
drawn from the market so far as the
present generation is concerned. Their
wealthy and aristocratic owners are
keen enough to appreciate the manifest
destiny of the American republic. At
some future time, certainly not remote,
the available public lands will all
have been disposed of. The invest
ments of the British landlords have
doubtless been made in anticipation of
that day. Whether it will be their
policy to dispose of their property to
small farmers, or to hold and lease it,
remains to be seen. The danger of a
land monopoly is, of course, not inn
mediate, but, in view of the enormous
immigration and the fact that the
mania fossthe purchase of whole town
ships by British capitalists seems to be
on the increase, the serious attention
of American statesmen may well be
drawn to this newest phase of the land
question. English landlordism has not
been such an unmixed blessing at home
that its extention in our own country
can be viewed with much pleasure.
The people here, however, have the
remedy in their own hands, and if they
do not apply it, it will be their own
fault

NEWCOMERS in the city of Mexico IRE
surprised on finding SO many of the
conveniences common to large cities at
home, such as the telephone, the cleo
trio light, police force, and an excel
lent street-car service. The electric
lights are oR the tops of iron rods run
ming up from the gas lamp posts. The
police are far more soldierly than the
regular army of the country. They
wear blue flannel suit, the coat but
toned up, and their cap has covering
of white, which, with the standing linen
collar, is always immaculate. In their
belts on one side they carry a club and
on the other large revolver. II one
wishes to see policeman he has only
to go TO the nearest corner, and he will
surely find him standing there, for he
has no beat to walk over. The speed
at which street-cars go is astonishing.
They dash along as fast as mules can
pull them, and as they approach a
corner the driver gives loud toot on
horn for the purpose of warning people
at the crossing to get ont of the way.

Two little fellows spending the sum-

in goat carriage, and one night they

stable which had been built for them.

and the next day they procured netting,
which they fastened over all the open
ings of the goat-stable. That night
the animals were very quiet. "The
netting was apparently exactly what
they wanted" concluded the lads.
The morning proved that they
were right; netting was what the
goats wanted, but they had taken the
