A stery Of Henry Clay.


The following anecdote of Henry
Clay was told by one Of his personal
friends:
While making the journey to Wash
ington on the National road, Just after
his nomination as candidate for the
presidency, he was travelling one
stormy night, wrapped up In q huge
cloak, on the back seat Of the stage
coach when two passengers entered.
They were Kentuckians, Ike himself.
He fell asleep and when he awoke
found them discussing his chances In
the coming campaign.
What did Harry Clay go into poll
tics for?" said one. HE had good
bit of land; he had d keen eye for
stock. If he had stuck to stock raising
he'd have been worth his fifty thou
sand. But now he doesn't own dol
lar"
"And.v the great Kentuckian used to
add, "the worst OF 1t was, every word
of It was trueT
It was characteristics of the man that
at the next stopping place he hurried
away and took another coach lest his
critics should recognize him and be
mortified at their Vnintentional rude
ness. tk

From the blossom of health to the paleness OF
DEATH"
Death turns our thoughts toward immortal
ity. Heaven is never so real to us as when 1t
becomes the abode of some one whom we have
known and loved. And then when one of our
brethren has passed its threshold, we can easily
believe no heart warmed into glow by the
fire of brotherly love will ever suffer an eternal
chill. That the flame Of love and truth that
grows brighter with the years will ever be ex-
extinguished.
Whereas, AS our brothers depart upon that
eternal journey from which no traveller ever
returns, we are ever forcibly reminded that
God works in mysterious way His wonders to
perform; and,
Whereas, He has been pleased in His divine
wisdom to remove from our midst our highly
esteemed brother, G. s. Thomas; therefore be 1t
Resolved, That we deeply mourn the loss OF
Brother Thomas, but our feelings are softened
by the hope that, while his body has been re-
moved from the brotherhood of man, his spirit
is dwelling with the Grand Master of the Uni
verse in the great fatherhOOd OF God; and be 1T
Resolved, That we, the members OF Newport

Death Of Mrs. J. R. Patterson

Early Saturday morning, May 2, at
her home, few miles north of New
port, occurred the death of Mrs. Alice
Eliza Cooley Patterson, leaving her hus-
band, one daughter, Bertha, and son,
Arthur Floyd, to mourn her passing
away.
She was born at Glastonbury, Conn.,,
on March 20, 1857, of Episcopal parent
age, and was always, when health and
circumstances permitted, "a devout atten-
dant OF that church, serving num-
Der of years as Organist of St. James
Episcopal church of Glastonbury, Conn.
She was married on Nov. 2, 1885, to J.
r. Patterson at her native town, and
left Connecticut in 1889 for San Luis,
| Colorado. From there she went to
nearly all the western states, settling on
a homestead in the vicinity of Newport
in 1902. She was fond, loving wife
and a devoted mother, kind neighbor
and lover of nature and all Gods
creatures. All friends join in express
ing most heartfelt sympathy for the
bereaved family.

The True Mechanic.

Afte. man has worked in shops
for tea Or fifteen years there is q great
desire For Il change. Some want to go
out on 4 farm. others think that the
invention Of something that can be
patented will solve the problem. while
others want to OWL and run a shop
themselves. The latter is really the
true mechanic. but not necessarily the
man who will get out the most or even
the best work while working for a
boss, says Charles Henry in the Work
ers' Magazine. On the contrary, he
will often be considered the lazy man
by the foreman when the work is of
all ever recurring character Let, how
ever. some difficulty arise in connec-
ton with job or have some hard
proposition to meet and he will always
have u suggestion to offer that will
help to solve the problem, while the
ordinary man and the hustler will
stand around helpless and often dis
interested He will have the elemen-
tary laws of mechanics and physics at
his finger tips will know enough OF
electricity to allow him to discourse
upon rhe subject in an intelligent man
ner. and he will be well posted upor
the mechanical progress Of the day.

Attempted Murder at Elk

Mrs. North, landlady at the Mont
gomery hotel at Elk, was probably
fatally shot on last Friday night, as she
was passing from one portion of the
hotel building to another. The bullet
entered her temple. She was taken to
Spokane and placed in hospital, but
her life is despaired of.
No trace of the would-be murderer has
been found, although suspicion points
strongly to one party.
The body was discovered Immediately
after the shot was fired. and a thorough
search made for the party who fired the
shot. but all of the persons about the
premises could give good account of
their whereabouts at the time of the
firing of the shot.
The assassin was evidently located on
the roof of building in the rear of the
hotel. the direction the bullet took after
entering the head indicates as much.
Mr.. Montgomery, the owner of the
hotel, is i'll in a hospital in Minneapo-
lis.
Mrs. North has resided in Camden
and Elk for the past five or six years.
She has been living apart from her hus
band tor about ten years, and his where
abouts have been unknown to the fam
lily for several years, so that no suspicion
attaches to him. She is the mother of
one son and daughter, The son, who
is known as 'Mickey," is we'll known in
Newport, where he has worked at vari-
Gus times. He was in this city last
Thursday. The daughter, Esther, is
about Is years old, and has been res1d-
