Excelling all other records in the output
of Red Cross Christmas stamps, the
American Red Cross will distribute this
season 100000 stamps throughout the
United States and it's possessions, an ad-
vance of 50 per cent over last years

Washington's quota of this vast output

order. and it is more than probable con-
sidering the success which always at

ness Mrs. Clark died and the body was
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
derson county.
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.
It was with this aged couple that
the future Democratic leader lived un-

er moved to Mackville, where there
was a larger school and greater ad-
vantages for his children.

Chicago.-Today the average per
son does not hear 80 much about altar
of roses as was the case a few years
back. The druggist may be able to
drag out a small vial of it from the
rear of a closet shelf, its quantity. per-
chance, reduced by half with the pass
ing of years; but it is more than like
~ that he will have none at all in
stock. What's the use? No one asks
for it any more.
That does not mean, however, that

fume to be had. Ask some big whole

he will open the door of safe and

precious stuff looks like all at once.
That is not much in bulk, as it is
worth SIS or SO an ounce, wholesale.
AS a matter of fact, more than $780,
600 worth of altar of roses is brought
into this country every year. The

stantinople. Not only does this bring
a higher price than the product of the

l had really meant by my delirious
speech in the kitchen. But that would
have meant telling the whole ridicu-
lous story to Mr.. HARRISON, and hav-

fool.
In all that overcrowded house there
was only one place where could be
miserable with comfort So l stayed
on the roof, and cried little and then
became angry and walked up and
down, and clenched my hands and bab-
bled helplessly. The boats on the
river were yellow, horizontal streaks
through my tears, and an early search
light sent its shaft like tangible
thing in the darkness, just over my
head. Then, finally, curled down in
a corner with my arms on the parapet,
and the lights became more and more
prismatic and finally formed them
selves into a circle that was Bella's
bracelet, and that kept whirling
around and around on something fiat
and not over-clean, that was Flanni-

Betty had been making tea for Aunt
Selma, and of course when she heard
us up there, she followed, tray and all,
and we drank Aunt Selina's tea and
had the first really nice time of the
day. Bella had come up, too, but she
was still standoffish and queer, and
she stood leaning against chimney
and staring out over the river. After

and went over to her, and they talked
quite confidentially for long time. l

Flanagan, who had been sent down

the deck out of one pocket and putting
his winnings in the other. He was

And that was the picture that came
out in the next mornings papers, tea

one looked up, there were four news

next house, and they had the imperti-

Flanagan had seen Bella by that
time, but as he still didn't understand
the situation, things were just the
same. But his manner to me puzzled

When the rest had gone down to

Boyhood Days.

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 small affair, with low cell
lngs, and was constructed Of rough
clapboards. It 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 postofice 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-
bounding Democratic principles.
Mrs. Clark was also well educated
for those days, having received six
years. schooling" in a convent.
There were three children-Margar-
