In the summer of 1910 Henry Clay
went to Kentucky on his vacation.
Three nights after his arrival at Ger.
tain springs a sociable game began. IL
the game were Mr.. Clay, Josiah Black
burn, John Hardin and Sam Clay, q
cousin of the statesman. 1t began on
Friday night and ran along with vary
ing luck. They were all old hands and
had the nerve to back their cards. At
IL O'Clock Saturday night Blackburn
quit little ahead. He had been mar
ried only two months and was afraid
his young wife would think he was
dead. Sunday morning at 8 o'clock
some one raped ON the door. It was
opened, and o negro girl stood In the
hall. She had clean shirt in her hand,
and ON the bosom was note from Har-
din's wife, "For Mr.. John Hardin,
wherever he can DO found" The door
was closed and play resumed. Hardin
changed his linen at the table. --Ssn

HIS NAME NOT ON THE LIST.

80. By Customs Law. This Steamship Pa
senger was Not . Passenger.
A passenger ON one Of the transatlantic
steamers that arrived here recently
stepped into the line Of people who
were making their declarations before
the customs officer aud told his name.
Cant take your declaration. I" the
officer said after examining the passen'
ger list. II don't see your name there. !"
but l got my ticket ON Friday
night, the passenger responded. land
tho time was too short to have allowed
Of my name being put on the list"
THAT makes no difference" an
swered the inspector. Unless your
name il on the list you are not a pas
WsnRer, and cannot take your DECLARE
tion. Nobody not on the list can be re-
aarded rs passenger.
The New Yorker said few things,
thought q good many more and dropped
out Of the line. Then he went In search
Of the captain. The captain came up
and wrote the passengers name ON the
inspectors list and the declaration was
duly taken. After this formality had
been finished the passenger asked the
inspector his reason for refusing to take
his declaration in the first place. To
this question he added the remark that
ON q number Of trips TO Europe he had
left ut such short notice that his name
had not got on the passenger list, but
he had never had any such experience
with the English inspector.
II don't know any thing about that, y
the official replied, "but the rule In
the United States Is that unless mans
name il on the passenger list he Is not
officially regarded as passenger and
we cannot recognize him as such until
his name appears there. You were all
right as soon rs the captain wrote your
name, but until then You had no stand
