Henry Clay Meets Col. Bowie.

@Henry Clay once told me of his
first meeting with Col. Bowie. It was
in the early days, and Clay was travel
ing in stage coach where the only
other passengers were q pretty girl, q
big rough-looking countryman, and q
limp, little figure in great coat. With
the consci BUSINESS of his own perfect
physique Clay said he was congratulate
ing himself on not being the limp, little
figure bundled up in the corner, when
he became conscious that the pretty
girl was begging the rough countryman
not to smoke, as it made her i'll. The
fellow replied with savage oath that
he had paid his fare and would smoke
when he - pleased. Mr.. Clay said
he was just trying to screw his courage
up to the point of demonstrating with
the country giant when the limp, little
figure undoubled itself like magic and,
with quick movement, reached down
its collar, brought knife that in the
excitement of the moment looked yard
long, and with another cat-like move
ment seized the fellow by the throat.
Throw that pipe out of the window, OF
G. I'll A comprehensive sweep
of the Misunderstanding blade finished
the sentence and sent the pipe shatter-
ing on the ground. In another minute
the knife had again disappeared down
the capacious collar and the limp figure
had resumed its former vertebrateless
condition, but the rest of the journey,
said Mr.. Clay, I spent wishing I was
the little man in the great coat, who
was none other than Bowie, with his ia
nous knife. JEFF Dauis, in Louis.

No Clothes Nor Cold Yictuals.

An old farmer near CASTLE not only
keeps five or six dogs as protection
against tramps but he owns bull which
likes no better fun than to give a
stranger lift skyward. One day last
spring tramp who was making short
cut across q field to reach the house,
found the bull rushing for him like a
wild locomotive. He had about fifteen
rods to go to reach an apple tree,
while the bull had thirty, and the tramp
got there first. 1t was lucky he did, for
the whole pack of dogs made a spring
for his heels as they were drawn up off
the grass. He sat there on limb, the
bull paving and roaring and the dogs
barking and growing, and presently
the farmer came down alongside the
fence and called out:
~Say, you'll"
yes"
want any old clothes or cold vict-
uals?"
"No, I don't want but one thing on
this earth, !" replied the tramp.
Whats that"
Lend me yer balloon and ticket me

A Lucky Russian.

Chicago Qll.) Arkansas Traveller, Aug.3.
The reports of the July 18th drawing of
the Louisiana State Lottery company show
that onc-twentleth of ticket No. 1888,
which drew the first capital prize of $500. 600
in that drawing, was held by Abraham
Weinger, of 4O1 South Canal street, Chicago.
A Trarcler reporter called at Mr.. Weinger's
place of residence and was informed that he
had just gone to New York City, where it is
expected that he will meet his wife who is
now on her way to America from Russia.
From Mr.. Weinger's friends and neighbors
it was learned that he is Russian BY birth.
about twenty-eight years of age, and hat he
has been in America but sixteen months,
most of which time has been spent in Chi
cago. where he has followed the occupation
Of tailor, which is the trade to which he was
brought up. Mr.. Weinger received his
1900 through the express company few
days after the drawing. 1t was learned that
Mr.. Weinger had been frequent patron OF
the lottery, but until now without success.
Mr.. Weinger has been all of his life poor
man, and it is to be hoped that he will make
good use of his suddenly acquired wealth.

This gay widower has q luxuriant

gray, and the other day when he started
out to visit his new intended, he went
to q drug store and ordered prepare

Then he went home and proceeded to
beautify himself After a nasty and
generous application Of the stuff, how

Anxiety to Receive Letters.

II wonder more and more all the
time" said an old letter carrier, what
makes people SO anxious to get letter.
If person is expecting to receive q
challenge to fight . duel or the reply
of his lady love to proposition of mar
rage, or even q check Of $25. 1 can
understand how he can be eager and
excited about it. Why, there are some
people on my route who, 1 really be-
iisye, don't do anything else but sit
down and wait for me to come, or else
stand at the gate or window to watch
for me. They don't get letter more
than once q month, but they watch for
it every day. II I say Nothing to-day,
they groan and stink away. If hand
them . letter they fly away with it into
the house as If they had found pocket
