So like her eyes
That from its slken folds there comes
A hint of Paradise.

This bit Of lace around her throat;
Dear eyes of gray,

Upon her breast is passing sweet

Representative Clayton of Alabama
used to be district attorney in his state,
says the Washington Post. He was one
of Cleveland's appointees.
1t became Clayton's duty at one time to
prosecute an old man for making illicit
whisky. 1t was not very serious in
fraction of the law, but the old back
woodsman had been reckless in his open
violation, and it was necessary to make
an example of him. He was brought into
court, and after the government had
stated his case the old man. who had no
lawyer, asked to be allowed to go upon
the stand. He was told that this would
render him liable to answer any ques-
tons. but he insisted
''Well. Uncle Sam said Clayton. "did
you really make any whisky in your
still?"
Henry" replied the old man, with pa
thetics tone, Il know'd your pa voted
for your pa every time he ran for jedge.
And, Henry, your pa would never have
aXed me no question like that
The jurors laughed, the court smiled
and Clayton relented. The old man drove
home that night.
