Reach, still smiling, but by this time
struggling with large and growing
lump in his throat replied: "No, Mr..
Clay, we must call that square.
The other boys got that money almost
as soon as you put 1t down. No, sir,
II It wasn't square before, It's square
now" BY this time Keach's voice was
thick and his eyes were trife misty,
and Mr.. Clay, moved by the homely,
generous sentiments expressed, was no
better off. They shook hands again
with genuine fervor, and after samp-
ling the captains toddy for the fourth
time the party broke up. Clay, upon
his return to Ashland, sent Reach a
handsome walking cane, with an auto
graph letter expressive OF friendship
and good wishes.

A Story OF Henry Clay.

An old Kentucky politician here,
writes New York World Washington
correspondent, takes hand in the dis
cussion as TO whether Henry Clay ever
swore, with an emphatic affirmation
that his profanity was as picturesque
and impressive as the other order Of mis-
eloouence. Clay. says this gentleman.
never forgot face, name or
kindness, and in this connection he
tells a story of how Clay, when
on a trip down the Ohio river,
happened to meet planter named ODE
diah Reach. whom, when young man,
years before, he had known as bar
keeper at Frankfort. Clay recognized
Reach at once ard insisted that ne come
into the cabin after the crowd had re-
tired. When Reach came in Mr.. Clay
stepped forward and, taking bis hand,
said: "Obe, / owe you $50" Reach
smiled and replied, "No, you don't, Mr..
Clay. I've long since called that
square" NO" persisted Clay, II owe
you $50, and intend to tell these gen.
tlemen all abont It." He then narrated

SOME THINGS SAID BY SENATOR
SHERMAN.

On last Sunday morning the Courier
Journal published an authorized inter
view with Senator Sherman. Com
menting thereon says:
Among other things, the Senator up
holds the Mckinley tariff as 1.-THE most
comprehensive and carefully prepared
revenue law we ever have had on the
statute books" In proof of its merit
he cites the fact that it provides
the largest measure of free trade
ever contained in tariff law.
Ye tin gods and little fishes!
Has it come TO this-that the vir-
tue of a protective tariff is common
surate with the amount of free trade
it provides? Senator SHERMAN thinks
that the Mckinley law may be
changed, but he believes that its
principles will be maintained" and
that free trade will be extended as rap
idly as our needs for revenue will per-
nit. For advocating just Such an
extention Democrats have been de-
nounced as their country's worst foes,
subsidized by British gold. Two or
three years ago the very term 'free
trade" was, in the Republican vOcabu-
larry, Synonymous with traitor" To-
day we are told by the Republican lead
of the Senate that the Republican tariff
is good because il provides free trade.
and will be changed for the better by
making 10 provide all the free trade the
revenue requirements Of the Govern
ment will permit! No wonder Mai.
MCKINLEY is trying to send the tariff
issue TO the rear.

Ingenious scheme of a Young Man to SIT
Reside Girl
London TIdbRs

A nice young man got into a tram
car few evenings ago, and saw 70 his
delight the only vacant seat was by the
side of a young lady acquaintance.
He made for that seat with joyous
strides, aud her eyes answered him
with delighted looks. But just as he
got there an elderly party walked up
and dropped into the coveted seat. The
young man approached more slowly and
accosted the young lady.
Glow is your brother?" he asked; sis
be able to get out?"
"Oh, yes!" she answered.
"Will he be very badly marked?" he
confined, and the old gentleman grew
suddenly interested.
''Oh, non' she said, with the excep-
ton Of few marks on his forehead"
"Were you not afraid Of taking it?''
the young man continued, while the old
gentleman broke out in cold perspira-
tion.
Not all" she replied; ~ had been
vaccinated, you know"
The seat was vacated instantly, the
the innocent young hearts beat as half
dozen, and the prattle OF "nice talk"
strewed that part of the car, while an
old gentleman scowled upon them from
the distant corner.

THE MoUNrAINEER's JOKE.
An Interesting Little War Story that
Concerns q Kentucky Brigadier.
DS;.ooo Time

It has always been question whether
It was Gen. Basil Duke or Gen Vicent
Maruaduke who was the victim OF the
Kentucky moGntineer's joke during the
late npleasantness." This question
has been mooted at among raconteurs as
Is the character of the observation
made by the Governor Of South Caro-
lima to the Governor OF North
Carolins. Col. ''Sid" Jones, OF
Chicago, says be had it from North
Caroinian, who was there, that the
governor of South Carolina said to the
governor OF North Carolina, Governor,
am dry" Thereupon the governor Of
North Carolina, with the dignity and
impresslveness Of true Southern gent
leman, made his historical remark:
governor, it is long time between
drinks"
Col. "Sid" Jones has always main
tanned that it was Gen. Basil Duke VINO
was the victim OF the KentucKian's
Joke. at any rate both he
and Gen. Vincent Marmaduke were
pompous little men who wore their
brigadier epaulettes with conspicuous
vanity. Inasmuch as General Basil
Duke was the smaller Of the two, prob
ably Col Jones is right in selecting him
as the real subject Of the story. IL was
when the guerrilla Morgan came
through Pound Gap into Kentucky and
seized the railroad that the story is
nlaced to the credit Of Gen. Vincent
Marmaduke, and it was at the close OF
the war, when the hentuckians In the
rebel army were coming home, that is
was attributed 10 Gen. Basil Duke. The
latter is the more likely OF the two,
for the soldier who would afront either
Of the two Generals before he was safe
Iv mustered out would undoubtedly
have received summary punishment.
The cars were crowded with soldiers,
the officers having passenger coach to
themselves. Suddenly, at the front
door appeared lank and ungainly Ken
tucky sharpshooter, holding In his
hands Long Tom" rifle with his fin
ger on the trigger.
BEG pardon, gents" he said, In a
stentorian voice, 81 want TO know II
Gen. Basil Duke is yer?"
There was no answer, and the officers
who, Il is said, turned pale, but made
no reply.
Again the voice of the stranger rang
through the car:
as Gen. Basil Duke yer?"
Every eye was turned upon the
doughty little general and ne could
stand It no longer. he sprsng TO his
feet and in q tragic but apprehensive
manner thumped himself on the breast
with hts clInched Est and said:
eyes, sir: am Gen. Basil Duke"
"Well, don't be skeart, sonny; I'm
Just goin' to snap kyap," shouted the
ranger.
After moment OF impressive silence
roar of laughter went through the
car that brought the color back 70 Gen.
Basil Dukes face and made him champ
his teeth with warhorse rage.

COOP COUNTRY ROADS.


Excellent country roads-what a
blessing they are-and yet it does look
as II the American people will never
learn how to make them. II Ohio
county, for instance, had all her mud
roads built on scientific principles what
a source Of wealth, health, and happi-
ness IT would be. And this applies to
every county in the State.
1t is only about one hundred years
ago, says the Chicago Herald, since
England pulled herself out of the mud
and began building those solid, excel
lent roads which have so enriched
her people. The Westminster paving
act of 1862 may be regarded as the begin
ming Of the better state Of things now
shown by English roads. In 1869 AR
THUR ZoNY gave most graphic de-
scription of the terrors Of English coun-
try roads. In Scotland things were not
any better. So bad were the roads there
that oatmeal, turf, straw and other ar
ticles were carried on horseback, and IT
took common carrier fortnight for
his journey between Selkirk and Edin-
burgh, distance of only 3s miles, and
coach required six days to go from
Edinburgh and Glasgow and return,
distance Of A miles.
More than a century ago London De-
gan the work of extending roads into
the country. This movement was, OF
coarse, violently and obstinately op-
posed by those to whom it proved to be
Of the greatest benefit. But the work
was carried on, and, under the direction
of such engineers as RENNIE and TEL
FORD, England now boasts roads that
are not excelled anywhere except by
that imperial accomplishment OF the
first NAPOLEON, the road over the Simp-
lon Pass. The result is what was fore
seen by the intelligent and persistent
advocates of good roads. The country
has been made immensely richer and
more attractive and both town and
country immeasureably benefited.
In the United States intelligent road
making in the country is, as a general
thing, almost wholly unknown. The
ridiculous misapplication of rustic labor
and foOlishneSs known as ''road work
ing" is the gravest farce an ordinarily
intelligent people ever took part in
year after year.
