|CLARKS EARLY HOME.
Cottage Where Champ Spent His
Boyhood Days.
Democratic Leader Chose for His
Birthplace a Humble Pioneer
Cabin Located Among the
Hills of Kentucky.

Louisville, Ky.-In the matter OF
ham Lincoln, in his early life, enjoyed
few advantages that the Hon. Champ
Clark of Missouri did not possess.
While it is true Mr.. Clark was not
born In a 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
lngs, and was constructed Of rough
clapboards. 1t was the characteristic
pioneer home of the period. There
were three rooms, the bedroom, the
sitting oom 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 7,
1850, On a little farm in Anderson
county, four miles south Of Louisville.
His father, John Hampton Clark,
vas a native of New Jersey, and vas
born where Atlantic City now stands.
He was a ~wanderer, and after rowing
from Philadelphia to New Orleans and
up the Mississippi and the Ohio to
Louisville he finally drifted to Law
r%enceburg and settled there. Shortly
after arriving at Lawrenceburg he met
Alethea Beauchamp, a frail, beautiful
girl, and after an ardent wooing they
were married. He was an educated
man, a mechanical genius and an ar
lent exponent of Democratic doctrine.
John Clark, after marrying, took up
tinkering with old clocks and doing
dental work. He rode over Anderson
clocks and practicing dentistry and ex-
bounding 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

the political world as Champ" and

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 Ill health at the
time OF the death Of his wife, and how
to bring up the two little children was
a serious problem. He found an
aged, childless couple in an adjoining
county, who, under his supervision,
took charge Of Champ and his little
