Henry Clay.

"One of my boyhoed reeollections,
| said Gen. Wade Hampton, 'refers to Hen
! ry Clay. He was frequen: visitor al
! my fathers house in South Carolina
Both Clay and my father were ardent
| whist players, and nothing Was more to
their minds than the collection ola brace
of gentlemen equally addicted to whist,
and then the quartet would play for
hours While the name of whist may
serve to imply a game where silence
reigned, my father and Clay didn't play
whist that way. They exulted audibly
over success, and did not hesitate when
they were playing partners to violently
point out mistakes the other had made,
and attributed defeat to the others ig
norance and utter lack of natural intelli-
gence Indeed, on occasions particular
ly trying they were even known to apply
hard names to one another. This they
did in no slanderous spirit, but to bright
en- up and sharpen the wits of the other
to the Improvement of his play. AS they
were sitting down to game as partners
one evening Clay remarked:
"I It's a great outrage the way we talk
to each other, and my idea now, at the
outset, is for each Of us to put up $40 to
belong to the one who is first called hard
names by tie other. If you assail me
the money is mine; if I forget myself,
you take it,
"My father readily agreed. He felt in
a mild, agreeable mood. He was conf
dent he would never again be Prey to
the slightest impulse to speak harshly to
his dear friend Clay. And, besides, it
was his recollection that Clay was the
man who ragged and did the loud talking.
So my father cheerfully placed the $40
on top of Clay's. He thought it would
be good lesson to the Blue Grass ora
tor to lose it. AS they proceeded with
the game Clay made some excessively
thickheaded and ill-advised plays. He
led the wrong cards; he trumped the
wrong tricks he did everything ldiotic in
whist that he we'll could. My fathers
blood began to boil. AS he and Clay
lost game after game his wrath ran high
er aud higher. Still he bit his lips and
suffered in silence. It went on for hours,
until Clay made some play of browning
which lost him and my father
the eleventh game. Flesh and blood
could stand it no more. My father stern
ly pushed the $40 over to Clay.
"'Why,' said Clay, opening his gray
eyes with look of innocence and amaze
ment, why do you do that! You hav-
emit said word
"'No,' retorted my father, but I'm
going to tell you, sir, that you are the
most abject idiot, the most boundless
imbecile that ever dealt hand at whist.
Yes. sir; I repeat it, you are the - fool
ever met in my life "-Chicago Her.

unconstitutional, is what the Supreme
Court says about the Income Tax Law.
The ground on which they base their de-
cision is that it is a direct tax, and direct
taxation is unconstitutional. They say
that if tax on real estate is direct taxa
ton, 50 is tax levied upon the income
from such real estate, and that if taxa
ton Of personal property is direct taxa
ton, so is tax levied on the income
from personal property. 50 1t seems that
our Federal Constitution will have to be
amended before we can distribute taxa
ton equally. We are wont to boast that
we are greater in all things than Europe
an countries, but the leading European
countries find it easy to distribute their
taxes according to the wealth of their
citizens. All of them have an income
tax When you come to think of it, it is
the only fair and honest system of taxa
ton. Tax man according to his abili-
ty to pay. If you tax his income you
surely do that. We may never live to
see the day that taxation will be equally
divided among the people of this coun
try, but any party that shall give US an
amendment that will make it possible to
tax the rich and cpulent as they now do
the poor and lowly, will deserve the
plaudits of a grateful people.-Le Sueur

Quite a "tempest in a teapot" is being
raised over the fact that a monument at
Chicago, raised over the Confederate
dead inferred there, who died in the
military prisons at that city during the
war, is to be unveiled on Memorial Day.
Any Union Soldier who faced the con-
federates during the wal will testify to
their bravery. What induced them to
peril their lives? Patriotism, as pure
and simple in the main as that which
actuatcd the more successful Union for
ces. Deluded they may have been, mis-
taken they were, but they were none the
less patriotic. Does the Union soldier
lose anything Of valor or self respect by
admitting this: It is always revolution
if YOU win, rebellion if you lose, but
none the less it takes valor and patrio-
tism to make either a rebel or a revOlu-
zionist. Beyond the grave no man nor
lllSH Ll''@I Ndll tIclI l't'ool'1 VI PloJu
dice. When /; man seals the record Of
his deeds with his life, even if the record
may have been in a lost cause, or a cause
that was mistake from first to last, his
valor, his patriotism may be commended
even if We censure the cause he espoused.
The questions which caused the war'have
been settled. We who were on the side
OF Union and right and won, can afford
to be magnanimOus. We can afford to
permit those who have fathers and BROTH
crs and husbands buried there on the
shore of that bleak nothern lake to raise
IL monument over their remains to COM
memorate their valor. The very fact
that they lost their lives in cause that
was failure and that American patrlo-
tism condemns is seen in the fact that the
Republic lives, while the lost cause is
but a memory. This confederate monu-
ment is no reflection upon the Union SOL
dlcr. History has recorded his devotion
his patriotism, his sacrifices and it has
also recorded his Victories 1t has re-
corded the fact that the triumph of the
Union cause forever buried the contro-
vcrsy in which they were engaged. 1t
has written success over the Union cause
and defeat and oblivion over that of the
cpnlc,icratc This monument is not to
the cuySc but to the soldier. 1t means
that here lie 10000 brave men who gave
their lives for what they believed was
right. We're they less brave because
they failed? Does not the acknowledge
mcnt Of their bravery enhance the luster
of the immortal crown which wreathes
the loyal Union soldiers brow? So let
them raise this monument and on our
Memorial Day, when we gather to strew
flowers on the loyal Union soldiers grave,
let them shed their tears over the graves
OF their dead and dedicate this testimon-
lal to their bravery, for they too were
Americans.-Le Sueur Sentinel.

The Acids of Fruits,

The grateful acid of the rhubarb leaf
arises from the malic acid and binoxalate
of patash which it contains; the acidity Of
the lemon, orange and other species of the
genus citrus is caused by the abundance of
cltric acid which their juice contains; that
of cherry, plum, apple and pear from the
malic acid in their pulp; that OF gooseber-
from a mixture of malic and citric acids;
that of the grape from mixture OF malic
and tartaric acids; that of the mango from
citric acid and a very fugitive essential oil {;
that of the tamarind from mixture OF cit
ric, malic and tartaric acids; the flavor of
asparagus from aspartic acid, found also in
the root of the marshmallow and that of the
cucum Der from peculiar poisonous lngre-
dient called fungin, which is found in all
fungi, and is the cause OF the cucumber be-
ing offensive to some stomachs. 1t will be
which contains binoxalate of potash in
conjunction with an acid.
Beet root owes its nutritious quality to
about per cent of sugar, which it contains,
and it's flavor is peculiar substance con-
talning nitrogen mixed with poetic acid.
The carrot owes its fattening powers also
to sugar, and its flavor to a peculiar fatty
oil; the horseradish derives its flavor and
blistering power from volatile acrid oil.
The Jerusalem artichoke contains 14H per
cent of sugar and per cent of inulin "a
liar substance to which its flavor is owing
and, lastly, garlic and the rest of the onion
family derive their peculiar OdOr from q
yellowlsh, volatile acrid oil, but they are
nutritious from containing nearly half
their weight of gummy and glutinous SUBJ
stances not yet clearly defined.-From

is eleven years ago now since this woman
broke away from the Wallack stock COM
pany and appeared as star. During that
time she has furnished the New York
public with some of tho finest casts that
have ever trod the metropolitan stage.
While she had the money she never spared
expense in order to give really first-rate
production. Think of that great cast which
she engaged to revive Diplomacy" at the
Star three years ago, and that equally dis
tinguished collection of actors who figured
III her production of ga Woman of No
Importance"
happened to see her salary list for one
week while this play was on at the Fifth
Avenue. 1t reached the grand total of
$2500. The company with which Mr.. JEFF
ferson has been appearing here recently
must cost him at least 500 SO week.
On the first performance of "a Night
Clerk" at the Bijou, Cornelius Vanderbilt
sat in an orchestra chair. 1t is pity that
Mr.. Vanderbilt is not dramatic critic, for
he might have taken more kindly view
of the play than the other newspaper men
did. With the exception of "The Year
One" not play this year has been so cor
daily roasted as "The Night Clerk" was.
One newspaper snubbed Mr.. Daley for his
excessive self-conceit by mentioning every
person in the cast except the star, and
then remarking in the last line of the arti-
SiO tudI Tue pdTt VI tllC uiSut CIcIh was
played by Peter T. Daley" But Mr..
Vanderbilt enjoyed every moment of it. I
don't think l ever heard man laugh so
long and so heartily in my life.
Marguerite Lemon, the new soprano who
made her debut in "Leonardo," has re-
ceived an offer to join the Bostonians. She
is under contract to Manager J. G. Duff,
but as he declared his intention OF not
holding her to her agreement If she wants
to go Miss Lemon will probably be seen
here in IA Wartime Wedding" when the
Bostonians come to the Broadway after
Christmas.
The opening of the grand opera season
has thrown the Broadway theaters into
the dumps. Calve, Melba and Jean de
ResZke are once more the lions of the hour.
The Calve craze promises to eclipse the
Paderewski mania entirely this year. This
singers first appearance in America IN
''La Navaraisse" promises to be the gala
night of the season.
John Drew still bankers after serious
work. He announces that he will appear
as Lord Clivebrook in revival of Jones
''Bauble Shop" before he leaves the Empire
to make way for Olga Nethersole.
Speaking of Jones, the playwright, re-
calls the fact that he has just petitioned
the English courts for leave to drop the
Jones from his name. In future he wishes
to be known simply as Henry Arthur.
At the Garden. where "Irilby" is run
ming once more, the Potter play seems to
be renewing its original success. Blanche
Walsh, the new Trilby. is the first actress
to really grasp the meaning OF the part.

Mcconnell, dropped in and persuaded
him that the story would prove of service
to him from a box office point of view.
Then Mansfield calmed down and tore up
his letter.
Speaking of Mcconnell recalls clause in
the contract which he has just made with
Mansfield. In one clause Mansfield agrees
that no matter what his provocation NAV
be he will abstain from making a speech
to the audience while he is under McCon-
nell's management.
Il had to put that clause in" explained
Mcconnell. "He's forgotten his speeches,
you know, as well as his parts and he
won't have time to get letter-perfect in
them both again before we open. So have
advised him to stick to his lines and let me
do all the extemporary talking"
The announcement that Gilbert and
Sullivan have made it up and are hard at
work on new opera has aroused no par
ticular interest among the New York
managers. After the failure of Utopia,
Limited" two years ago, both T. Henry
French and John Stetson declared that
and Sullivan opera. "Utopia, Limited"
was the direst sort of failure, but l shall
always remember its first performance on
account of remark which Mrs John Stet-
son made in my hearing that night. This,
by the way, is a genuine Stetson, although
the point of it lies on the female side of the
house. As the Stetsons entered the
tneater John was abusing some one in a
loud tone of voice: II don't like that fell
low, anyway" he exclaimed. He's a
white-livered man. I've no use for him"
My dear john" said Mrs. Stetson,
turning on him reproachfully, "if you must
talk about man like that. do speak more
politely. Why not be gentleman and say
you do not care for him because he has in
candescent lights2"
Here's piece of news. At the end of
this season E. H. sothern and Daniel
Frohman will part company. The young
actor has the managerial bee in his bonnet,
and is going to see how successfully he
can paddle his own canoe. There has been
no quarrel between star and manager. The
old partnership, which has lasted for eight
years, will be broken simply because
Sothern feels that he is now in position
to take care of himself. On the whole, it
seems rather foolish move for him to
make; in managerial way he will never
be able to do half as much for himself as
Dan Frohman has done for him. A years
experience on his own hook, however, will
probably bring the young man to his
senses.
| couldn't help thinking as John Drew,
Edwin Mayo and others were praising
Joseph Jefferson for his many services to
CHe American stage at the lOylng-Cup
presentation, of an actress who in her role
OF manageress has never received her due.
| mean Rose Coghlan. At the present time
Miss Coghlan is in hard luck. Her COM
pany has gone to pieces; she herself is out
of an engagement; her husband, John T.
Sullivan. is playing in cheap melodrama
in order to make both ends meet. But as
sat there and heard this one lauded for do
ing this and that, or for doing something
else, it occurred to me that Rose Coghlan
shonld have had had some part in it. It
