Some unpatriotic and unsentImental in
diydual who had nothing better TO do,
has stuck tin advertising card, display
ing the merits of an insurance concern,
on the Henry Clay statue in the Capitol

its present position OF honor for several

statue. and has attracted good deal Of
attention. Several people remarked on
it.
The memory Of Henry Clay, who was a
grand old statesman, is sacred to Nir-

offence for which the fellow, If caught.
Will be properly punished.
