Like taking our knife and shlngle

And making a Gutter-wheeI.
[ wish I could find all the chums

And together. arm in arm,
Go over the scenes Of other days
In a stroll around the farm.

With Bill and Bob and jim,
And the other boys | use to know,
When we, all, first learned to

| want another stonebruise-
| long again to feel
TIE agony that originates
In a dirt encruSted heel.
I want to tear my "britches'-
/ long to stump my toes
| want to get a licking
I long for boyhood woes.
I long to cat green, apples
70 double mp with pain
And take the awful doses
That Strengthened me out again
I long to fight with bumblcbecs-

Id love to scrap with my old straw
Id love to cuss and sv ear.

sharply every inquiry by strangers as 10
his kinship with the famous statesman.
In order to set the world straight on a
question Of such importance as himself
Gen. Clay kept standing In a newspaper
which he edited at Lexington before the
civil war a card 10 the following effect:
Although l regard Henry Clay as one
OF the greatest men our country has pro-
duced. and esteem him personally for his
many virtues Of mind and heart. I feel

Henry Clay is the founder OF his own
race. as he Is the splendid architect ~
his own great fortune. While he is worthy
OF all respect in Kentucky and the world.
IL should be known that none Of the blood
OF my family courses through his veins"
This card was published while the
Master OF whitehall and the Great
Commoner were on terms of intimate
friendship. II Is doubtful. however. that
the proud patrician Clay ever invited
the great plebian Clay to enjoy the hos
pitality OF whitehall, so great a stickler
was the general for the rules which he
thought should separate the family OF
the aristocrat from persons who could
not claim that distinction.
The cause OF the separation Of Gen.
Clay and his first wife was discussed
almost in whispers by the generation OF
Kentuckians who understood Accord
ing TO the old generals published state
ment OF few years ago his nrst wife,
who. by the way. is still living at Lex
ington. was an aristocrat When he
went TO st. Petersburg as United States
minister by appointment of President
Lincoln. Gen. Clay's wife did not accom-
pany him. He remained at the cars
court eight years.
Soon after his return Ia this country
beautiful Russian woman bearing the
title OF princess appeared at Lexington
said that the master OF Whitehall was her
husband according to the laws OF Russia
and was the father Of her son.
The Russian princess disappeared from
Kentucky as suddenly a. she had ap-
peared. but the infant was left behind

and up to n few years ago this child
then a man. was living on fine farm
near whitehall. which had been given
10 him by Gen. Clay. Mrs. Clay. the
mother OF all his children born In this
country. received a divorce soon after the
Russian princess appeared ct Lexington.
The rugged old general is not known
ever to have discussed the divorce. and
IL IL needless TO say that even the brsv-
est Kentuckian dared not to speak to him
about II.
