Flogging, claimed by some TO ne
survival of barbarism in England, Is
given credit by others as being the
most potent factor in Kidding London
of petty criminals and assuring public
safety. Many criminals become SO f'
miliar with the prison routine %
lose all horror of it. In fact, l. c
wretched for certain classes OF Ae-
sirables in London that they would
commit petty crimes as a means OF
gaining entrance to prison were 1t
not for the wholesome fear OF hog
gings. The '-nine-tails used for
the foggings has been deprived OF Its
knots and is not laid on so strenuous
ly as in the old days, while with young
offenders the birch rod is brought into
play. A physician is always on hand
to stop the flogging should the culpri1
evince signs of fainting. Although the
flogging punishment has thus beer
mitigated, it does not seem to have los
its effectiveness.-Popu Mechanics

laid to rest in the old cemetery there
She was the first person to be buried
in the little burying ground which had
been set aside by the pioneers of An.

Mr.. Clark was in i'll health at the
time of the death of his wife, and how
to bring up the two little children. was
serious problem. He found, an
aged, childless couple In an adjoining
county, who, under his supervision
took charge of Champ and his little
sister.

Democratic Leader Chose for His
Birthplace a Humble Pioneer
Cabin Located Among the
Hills of Kentucky.

Louisville, Ky-In the matter Of
preparation for the presidency, Abra-
ham Lincoln, in his early life, enjoyed
few advantages that the Hon. Champ
Clark of Missouri did not possess
While 1t is true Mr.. Clark was not
born in log cabin he did the best he
could under the circumstances and
chose for his birthplace in the Blue
grass State a humble farm cottage
among the cliffs along the Kentucky
river in Anderson county. The cot
tage was a small affair, with low cell
ings, and was constructed Of rough
clapboards. 1t was the Characteristic
pioneer home of the period. There
were three rooms, the bedroom, the
sitting room and the kitchen and din
ing room combined.
At the time of Clark's birth there
were no railroads in this section of
the country and the farmers rode on
horseback to the nearest grocery
store" and postoffice for their supplies
and mail.
James Beauchamp Clark, son of
James Hampton and Alethea Jane
BeauchamP Clark, was born March z,
1850, on a little farm in Anderson
county, four miles south Of Louisville
His father, John Hampton Clark,
was native of New Jersey, and was
born where Atlantic City now stands
He was wanderer, and after rowing
from Philadelphia to New Orleans and
up the Mississippi and the Ohio to
Louisville he finally drifted to Law
renceburg and settled there Shortly
after arriving at Lawrenceburg he met
Alethea Beauchamp, frail, beautiful
girl, and after an ardent wooing they
were married. He was an educated
man, mechanical genius and an ar.
dent exponent of Democratic doctrine.
John Clark, after marrying, took up
tinkering with old clocks and doing
dental work. He rode over Anderson
and Washington counties mending old
clocks and practicing dentistry and ex-
pounding Democratic principles.
Mrs Clark was also we'll educated
for those days, having received six
years schooling" in a convent
There were three children-Margar
ct Louise, the eldest, who died in in
fancy; James Beauchamp, known to
the political world as Champ" and
Elizabeth, now Mrs. Elizabeth Clark

song, nor subsequent outbursts, served
to arouse him from his somnolent at
titude.
BY the time the opera was over
poor Grisi and Mario were almost be-
side themselves with disappointment
and despair-they had failed to make
an impression upon the great Horace
Greeley-there would be no favorable
word of their initial appearance in the
Tribune, the fount OF praise most
sought for by operate singers of the
time Yet what was their great de-
light when, upon picking up the Tri-
bune in the morning, they saw there
in glowing criticism of their per
torrance, and what was more, most
favorable editorial comment thereon,
containing a graceful word of con-
graduation for the great singers.
They wondered, of course, how the
editor of the Tribune could have writ
ten anything at all about them since
he slept at the opera. They were not
acquainted with one OF GreeIey's pc
culiar characteristics. In the horse
cars, in hotel l0hDles, III church, he
dozed soundly, apparently, yet his
friends always noted that nothing es-
capped him The better to listen or to
think, it was a habit with him to
close his eyes as if in slumber-and
IN a horse car, for example, this habit
never caused him to be carried be-
yond his destination.

Horace Greeley was man VINO
mated hypocrisy.
For some time Greeley's favorite
hotel at Albany, N. Y, when he called
there on political errands as mem
Der of the famous political firm OF
Seward, Weed and Greeley, was the
Delavan house. Suddenly, one day,
he changed his headquarters to the
Stanwix hotel Said the proprietor or
that hotel at time when Greeley was
his guest.
"You observe that the great Hor-
ace is a patron of my hostelry? Well,
| got him as a guest in this way: The
Delavan house was started as tenn
perance house. But Greeley, during
one of his visits there, discovered that
no guest need go thirsty, provided he
could make the right signal to the
proprietor.
One day Greeley came in here and
asked me if | was the proprietor OF
this hotel, and when | told him
was, he asked: DO you keep whiskyY
Yes, l have very good whisky |
replied.
Do you also keep brandy
"'Yes, have very choice stock

prietor who is honest enough to say
that he keeps liquors than to stay

reranee man and who sells strong
drink on the sly
Greeley was a great lover of the
opera. In 1854 Grisi, in her day the
most famous of operatic sopranos, and
her husband, Mario, who probably was
the. greatest tenor that ever sang in
Italiana opera, made a tour of the
United States. They appeared first in
New York at the original Academy Of
Music, but prior to their debut they
were told that it was of the utmost
importance to the success of their
American tohs- that they secure, il
possible, a favorable criticism of their
debut in the columns of the New
York Tribune AS a preliminary to
that end the representatives of the
great singers saw to it that seat
for the performance was assigned to
Mr. Greeley in one of the stage boxes
Greeley had been in the box but a
few moments when, apparently, he
fell sound asleep-to the great dis
tress of both Grisi and Mario, whose
singing, so far as they could see, made
not the slightest impression upon the
senses of the Tribune's editor. And
it was noticed that not even the ap-
