A Perfect Female Figure.

Claws Farewell to the Senate.
erley Poore in Boston Budget.

Ben Perley Poore in Boston Budget
Henry Clay's ferewell to the Senate,
on the 31st of March, 1912, attracted a
large crowd, and every available place
was occupied, the ladies having not only
filled their gallery, but invaded the floor.
When Mr.. Clay rose between l and 2
o'clock, to make his farewell speecl in
a chamber which he had entered nearly
thirty-six years before, all eyes were
upon him. Senators of all parties took
their seats and gave the most respectful
attention. Members of the house
focked in and occupied the privileged
seats round about the chamber. Then
came the address, for it was more of an
address than a speech, the report of
which was only the body of beautiful
Grafton without the soul. The picture
presented in such a congregation OF
people was not only fair enough and
perfect enough in all proportions to
charm the eye, but it was a scene
which might have given, either in
the sympathy created or in the
pride excited, q feeling but little less
than one inspired. The ladies, who
were all hope and buoyancy o moment
before, were now like Niobe, all tears. "
Mr.. Clay, in speaking of himself, of his
friends, of the noble State Of Kentucky,
where he had been received as a son
forty-fiye years before, was himself
quite unnamed. Others were much
more affected, and many of the oldest
Senators were in tears many times while
Mr.. Clay was speaking. He retired
from the storm and turmoil of public
life to the bosom of his family, in the
| State which he loved. and which had
honored him for nearly forty years. To
leave the councils of the nation for ones
own alter and home, was next to leav-
ing this world itself, In the hope of en-
joying another brighter and better, q
contamination which almost every pub
lie man might covet. The widest am
bition of Mr.. Clayscase must have been
fully satiated. He had been at the head
of a great and triumphant party. He
had shared its confidence In prosperity
and adversely. He had admiration such
as has rarely been given to any man In
any age. His friends were legion, and
they chung to him to the last with al
the tenacity OF holy affection. He Left
the Senate with a reputation for states
manship, for patriotism, and for elo'
quence which any man might covet,
He left public life, too. at peace Will
all mankind, and with a conscience void
of offense. In his retirement he carried
with him the best wishes of all men
There ne could have no foes, and those
who had been foremost to denounc'
were among the first to speak hi
praises. The last act of MI. Clay was
to present the credentials of Mr.. Crit
tenden, whom he spoke Of in the mos
exalted terms, and into whose hands b.
expressed his willingness to yield tin,
interests Of his State and country
The Senate adjourned as 500 as Mr.
Crittenden had taken his seat though
the hour was EARL. The crowd scat
tered, and the late Senator from Ken
lucky was surrounded by hosts 3
friends.

HOME.

More than building SNOWY mansions,
More than dress or fine array,
More than domes and lofty steeples,
More than station, power and sway;
Make your home both neat and tasteful,
Bright and pleasant, always fair,
Why're each heart shall rest cOntented,
Grateful for each beauty there.
Seek to make vour home most lovely
Let it be a smiling spot,
Where, in sweet COntentmGnt resting,
Care and sorrow are forgot.
Where the flowers and trees are waving,
Birds will sing their sweetest songs;
Where the purest thoughts will linger,
Confidence and love belong.
There each heart will rest contented,
Seldom wishing far to roam;
Or, if roaming, still will ever,
Cherish happy thoughts of home.
Such q home makes man the better,
Sure and lasting the control:
Home with pure and bright surroundings,
GLeaves Its impress on the soul

The Atlantic s. Pacific has recently brought
east some 200 carloads of time freight from the
steamer City of Pekin. at San Francisco. This
week a special train of eleven cars made an aver
age of twenty eight miles an hour throughout
the trip from the Pacific coast to st. Louis.
The Canadian Pacific Railroad Company has
taken possession of the North Shore railway

the transaction The purchase price is believed
to be So, 00O Goo The eastern terminus OF the
Canadian Pacific will now be at Quebec until

The Pennsylvania Schuylkill Valley railroad
will be in operation to Hamburg, fifteen miles
beyond Reading, early in November. The con-
tractors at work on forty five miles of road
bed now, and in many places the grading has
been completed Engineers in charge of the
work give assurances that the road will be fin
ished to Pottsville by May next
1t is believed that the agitation for repeal Of
the aonoxlous railway commission law of Georgia
IS likely to result in its repeal b. the Legislature
OF that State. The trouble with the law is that
1T goes too far giving as it did, the commission
arbitrary powers to make freight rates. As q
result, the commission grew to be tyrdnnical and
actually injured the value of all railroad property
in the State.
There is extended litigation, unquestionably. in
the future for some of the railways in Pennsyl-
vana. The Philadelphia Press says it is not
unlikely that the attention of the Attorney
general and the Governor will be called to the
fact that number of railroad corporations in
that State have bought or leased parallel and
competing lines since the new Constitution went
into effect No question has ever been raised as
to these transactions but it is said the Attorney
general will be asked to take all offenders into
court. now that he is dealing with Mr. Wander
bilt and the Pennsylvania.

Mr.. Bonner's Love for Maud s.

Philadelphia Times
They say that his precious horses, which have
secured him an enormous amount of gratutous
advertising, have recently grown to be detri-
mental to him from his absorption in them 1t
has been frequently asserted that he bought
high priced animals only to get advertised that
he cared very little about them. Doubtless he
understood and still understands the full value
of unpaid for newspaper notices. but his knowl-
edge and love of horses are unsurpassed He is
more interested in them than in anything else
His fondness for his latest acquisition Maud S.

Stone amounts to passion | should not be
surprised if he did neglect business for her, as
most men do when they are in love. If 80, he
must be conscious of it. He would, am sure,
make any sacrifice for the beautiful mare. If
the circulation of the Ledger increases not. he
certainly knows the fact and probably notes it
in his private ledger with the words ''All for
her." 1t is full time that Bonner should take
things leisurely. at least when not driving his
fast trotters. He is past sixty and worth S.

or influence. and having achieved his present
position by unfagging energy and perseverance.
