a Story Of Henry Clay.

Inc following anecdOte or Henry
Clay ,~as told By one of his personal
friends.
Whil. 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 a huge
cloak, on the back seat of the stage
coach when two passengers entered.
They We're Kentuckians, like 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 keen eye fol-
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" the great Kentuckian used to
add, 1.-THE worst of it was, every word
of 1t was truew
It was Characteristic 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 unintentional rude
ness.

which separates and yet unites the sis

and has been the scene Of SO much of
their history. 1t extends on the Eng

Of Ushant to Calais. Its entrance from

yer. twenty-one miles wide, while at
the other extremity, where 1t joins the
Atlantic, 1t is 100 miles from shore to

$50 miles. Owing to the strong current

winds which frequently prevail and
the confguration Of the shores It has

In late years hundreds OF cabins
have have been built along the Frying
Pan liver by people living farther east
where the summers are not as pleas
ant as they are in mountains. In many
instances families who have spent q
few weeks In the Rockies fishing or
hunting, and who have lived in ranch
houses or tents, have cut logs and
erected a cabin Of their own, installing
hunks and cooking facilities. The
cook stove, rough-and-ready utensils
and dishes, are left in the cabin, and
they are never molested-though per
haps often used-by others during the
months the place is occupied. There
Is an ''unwritten law" among people OF
