GEN. CLAY SURRENDERED.
The Old Kentuckian Acknowledged
the Justice of a sCOrre-
..-.r- spendent's Plea.

AS characteristic Of Gen. Cassius NJ.
Clay, a correspondent sends the follow
Ing story:
Under an act of the legislature the re-
mains of Joel T. Hart, the famous Ken
lucky sculptor, were brought from Flor
ence, Italy, where he died, and buried by
the state in the cemetery at Frankfort.
Gov. Proctor Knott invited Judge w.
NJ. Beckner, of Winchester, to deliver an
address on the occasion of the final in
terment Judge Beckner wrote to Italy
and to. New York, Philadelphia and
other places for information concerning
Mr.. Hart and his work
Among others he addressed letter to
Gen. Clay, who had been Harris first
patron Aas a sculptor, asking his recol-
lect1ons of the dead artist. He got an
answer on postal card, the substance
OF which was that the general had put all
that he cared to say about Joel t. Hart
into his memoirs, which had been pub
Ished, and were being sold at six dol
lars per volume. Judge Beckner imme-
dlately sat down and wrote him as fol-
lows:
L received your curt advertisement
OF your book written on postal card,
and must say that am surprised. Ii
you had been spending as much time and
energy to do honor TO dead friend OF
mine as have to pay public tribute
to onessWho was as devoted to you as
was Joel t. Hart, and | had written as
good book as they say you have, and
you were as poor as am, and | as
rich as you are supposed to be, and you
wrote me- for facts about my friend,
which had put into print in my book,
l would send you a copy, even if its
price should be So enormous a sum as
six dollars
The next mail brought to Judge Beck
'ner the following reply:

Dear Judge:s>I have ordered the Me-
moars to be sent you If you plead all
your cases as well, you will be rich
enough yet. Yours, c. NJ CLAY"

ARRIvED-At the home of Mr.. and Ms. Riley
Oct, 10, 1908, the first Maceabee baby
This occasioned no little stir among
the Ladies of the Macca bees to ascer.
tain just how to fittingly celebrat e
this event.
They finally decided to move in a
body, Friday, Nov.5, to the home of
little Miss Rena, banquet the mamma,
and pay lifting tribute to the dearest
of all treasures---the baby in the
home.
On arriving they were received by
Lady Riley and after making them
thrice welcome, Baby; was passed
around for inspection, who in wise
little way, all her own, made the
entire company thrill with pleasure
as they beheld her sweet, pretty face
and pressed her tiny dimpled hands,
After congratulation to the fond
mother, little Rena was placed in the
arms OF Lady Cochran while Lady
Mckercher in an appropriate speech
presented it with solid silver spoon.
with L. 0. T. N. engraved in the
bowl.
A guessing contest was then in
dulged in, Lady McKercher receiving
the prize, beautiful china pin tray.
Some one being anxious to test the
nerves of the ladies had placed dish
of peanuts on the table and requested
OF them to pick up as many as possible
on silver knife and carry them
across the room. The contest was a
close one. Lady Natwick and Lady
Cochran carried off the laurelS.
The "spread" was then made ready
and Vida and Villa Riley, assisted by
Nellie Palmatier, served the dainty
viands in most pleasing manner.
AS the s'wee small hours'' of the
me rning were approaching, the ladies,
all reluctantly, babe their charming
hostess good night, returning to their
respective home with hearts strength
ened anew for the beautiful order of
the Maccabees where fellowship is
woven in bands as true as steel.

When a handful of settlers trekked
into Oklahoma a dozen years ago and
induced Indians to lease them small
tracts, they placed faith In the black.

has been responsible to large degree
in the browning Of their efforts, writes
William R. Draper, in Four-Track

Year after year passed, and the crops
have Increased in size. The cereals have

burned by drouth, but to yield In
abundance Well-filled granaries, and
highly improved farms attest the pros
porous condition of the farming class,
