 Three camels presented themselves at the dock where the ark was tied up. whereas but two animals of kind had been called for.
 "One of you fellows will have to step aside" shouted Noah very per emptorily.
 But the three ships of the desert smiled knowingly.
 'I," said the first of them, lam the camel which shall pass through the eye of a needle sooner than a rich man shall enter the kingdom of heaven" 'I," said the second, "am the camel which so many people swallow while straining at a gnat"

Cliff of Natural Glass.

A cliff of natural glass can be seen in Yellowstone park. It is half mile long and from 15O to 200 feet high. the material of which it consists being as good glass as that artifcially manu- factured The dense glass which forms the base is from seyenty-tive to a hundred feet thick. while the upper portion, having suffered and survived many ages of wind and rain. has natu- rally worn much thinner. Of course the color of the cliff is not that of nat ural glass-transparenta and white-but is mostly black and in some places red and shades of olive green and brown.

The expression in the prayer book kindly fruits of the earth has for most persons no definite meaning on account of the difference in signifi- canoe now attached to the word kind ly from that used when the expression was first written.

LOOKED UP TO HENRY CLAY
Incident Showing the Esteem in
Which the Great Senator from
Kentucky Was Held.

Adlai Stevenson, commenting on
Henry Clay, tells this anecdote, an ex-
change says:
Possibly since the foundation OF
the government, no statesman has
been so completely idolized by his
friends and party as was Henry Clay.
Words are meaningless when the at
tempt is made to express the idolatry
of the Wings of his own state for their
great captain For lifetime he knew
no rival. His wish was law to his
followers. In the realm of party lead
ership a greater than he hath not ap-
peared. At his last defeat for the pres
idency strong men wept bitter tears.
When his star set it was felt to be
the signal for the dissolution OF the
great party of which he was the found
er. In words worthy to be recalled,
when the tidings came like wailing
over the state that Harry Percy's spur
was cold, the chivalrous felt some
how the world had grown common
place.
The following incident, along the
line indicated, may be considered char
acteristic While Mr. Clay was SEN
ator resolution in accordance with
a sometime custom was Introduced
into the Kentucky house OF represent
atives instructing the senators from
that state to vote in favor OF GER
tain bill then pending in congress.
The resolution was in the act OF pass
ing without opposition when hither-
to silent member from one OF the
mountain counties, springing to his
feet. exclaimed: "Mr. Speaker. am
to understand that this legislature is
undertaking to tell Henry Clay how
to vote?" The speaker answered that
such was the purport of the resolution.
At which the member from the noun
| tains, throwing up his arms, ex-
claimed Great God." and sunk into
his seat. 1t is needless to add that
the resolution was Immediately re-
| iected by unanimous vote.

work when suddenly he received
blow on the left side which sent him
to the ground half stunned.
Gubtil then found himself graphing
with & black bear. which, when
cold that evening, weighed 46O pounds.
By means of rollings and tumbling,
kicking at the bear and warding OF
attempts to grapple, Gubtil finally
with the blood streaming from two
dozen bad scratches, reached his rifle
Ey exerting all his remaining
strength, Gubtil dropped the muzzle
against the bears breast as the brute
rose, and with the trigger close
against his hip, pulled.
The expansion bullet killed the bear
almost instantly. At the moment oil
the discharge the bear was making a
blow for Gubtil's face, but the claws
dragged against his shoulder.
A trapper heard his call and took hin
where he could get medical aid.
