The greatest popular idol in a po-
litical sense the country has ever
known was Henry Clay. Only one
other American statesman ever pos
sessed the quality called personal mag
netism to the same extent that he did
and no other ever had a more enthusi-
astic personal following. He was an
aspirant for president from 1924 to
1913, but never reached the goal He
received 81 electoral votes in 1924, 40
In 1882 and 105 in 1914, but never
enough to elect him. Clay was elected
speaker of the house of representatives
on the first day of his term in that
body and was five times reelected. He
was twice elected United States sena-
tor, once unanimously by the Kentucky
legislature, and held several other high
offices. If there was ever popular
idol In the politics of this country, It
was Henry Clay, but he could not be

A Miss and a Find.

It was the habit of the Rev. James
Spurgeon, grandfather Of the great
preacher of that name, to pray each
evening under certain oak tree in
secluded wood in Honeywood park
One night he dreamed, the story goes,
that Satan appeared and threatened
to tear him in pieces If he followed his
accustomed route to the tree. There
was another path by which he might
60 in safety. Remembering his dream,
Spurgeon felt sorely tempted the next
night to take the route in which Satan
was not But this would be to capt.
ulate. Trembling in every limb, he
made his way by the path in which the
danger lay. He reached his goal in
safety and in prayer and song returned
thanks for delivery from peril. When
his prayer had ended he rose to re-
turn. In his path lay piece of solid
gold "as large as curtain ring" All
inquiry failing to discover an owner,
he retained it and when he married had
his wife's wedding ring made from his
curious find.
PROMISES 10 the Dying.
A clergyman, discussing unhappy
love affairs, said: ss
MANY love tragedy is caused by
husbands promise to a dying wife
that he will not marry again. He
thinks when he makes this promise
that it will be easy to keep. Whether
1t Is easy or hard to keep, it is a
promise rarely If ever broken. Time
and time again widowers have sought
me out for advice on this subject.
They are in love, but they promised
their dead wives not to marry again.
Shall they break or keep this promise?
can only advise them to do as their
conscience dictates. At the same time
think 1t Is selfish Of dying wives to
extract such promises from their bro
ken hearted husbands Such prom
Uses, by the way, are rarely extracted
by dying husbands from broken heart

husbands will is read it is usually
found that if the widow marries again
