A story OF Henry Clay.

An old Kentucky politician al
Washington takes a hand in the dis.
cussion d 10 weather Henry Clay
ever swore with an emphatic affirm
alton that his profanity was as
picturesque and impressive as the
other order of his cloqnence. Clay,
says this gentleman, never forgot a
face, q name or a kindness. and in
this connection he tells a story of how
Clay, when on a trip down the Ohio
river, happened to meet a planter
named Obediah Reach, whom. when
a Young MAN years before he had
known as a %barkeepcr at Frankfort.
Clay recognized Reach at once and
insisted that he come into the cabin
after the crowd retired. When Reach
came in Mr.. Clay stepped forward
and taking his hand said: "Obe |
owe you fifty dollars"
Reach smiled and replied: NO,
you don't, Mr.. Clay. I've long since
called that square,"
No. persisted Clay, Il owc you
fifty dollars, and | intend TO tell these
gentlemen all about it."
He then narrated how, when n
young member of the Legislature, he
was engaged one night in astif game
of poker in a tavern at Frankfort, and
having been cleaned out by his COM
panions had gone to Reach for assist
ance, and been obliged by a loan of
fifty dollars. And then turning again
to Reach he resumed:
"And l never paid it back. Now /
must have that bill-tifty dollars and
intercst-and when | get back home
I'll send YOU the money"
Reach, still smiling, but by this
time struggling with a large and
growing lump in his throat, replied:
No, Mr.. Clay, we must call that
square. The other boys got that
money almos! as soon as you PVT it
down. No, sir. if it wasn't square
before. its square now"
BY this time Keach's voice was
thick and his eyes were a trifle misty.
and Mr.. CLAY, moved by the homely.
generous sentiments expressed, was
no better off. They shook hands
again with genuine ferror, and after
sampling the captains toddy for the
fourth time the party broke up. Clay,
upon his return to Ashland, sent

The Water Works Election.

The election Tuesday was an cleo
ton at which the people of this city
were to decide by their votes wether
Cape Girardeau should become a
a city in reality or remain a city only
in name, and we are proud to say
that we have a large majority of
citizens who have shown by their
ballots that they want the Cape to
keep pace with the other growing
and progressive cities of the country.
The question was water works and
progress or no water works, stagna-
ton and old fogyism. and the old
fogy idea was buried beneath a
shower of ballots so deep that it will
never be resurrected in this city.
The question of water works was a
plain business propositiOn-a propos-
itiOn that needed no explanation TO
me who would listen to argument
and reason, for all know that a system
of water works is necessary to the
wealth. health and business prosperity
of a city.
The election was not to established
water works without further cere-
mony. but it was to ratify an Ordi-
nance giving the City Council power
to contract with capitalists to put in
a system of water works with their
own capital, without II cent of cost
to the city for the plant. The ordi-
nance is in language SO plain that all
should understand, and we believe
that if it had been read by every
voter in the city the vote for its rati-
fication would have been almost un-
unanimous. But we are not going TO
quarrel with those who voted no.
They had c right to vote that way for
il is American, free and untrammelcd,

Bob Burdette thinks marrying a

lite of connubial bliss. lie says; NO,
son; don't marry a widow. She is too

make a pawn-broker shop out of
your trusting heart. If you do marry,
teach your wife that you who gained
her heart under the pale glitter of
the milky way, where the restless
young meteor chascs its love across
the heavens-I say, convince her that
