HENRY CLAY.
Famous Statesman Who Was Known
as Mill Boy of the Slashes.

Henry Clay, one of the most strik-
ing men in American politics during
the first half of the past century, was
practically self-educated, and 1t was
his early school days in Virginia that
gave him the familiar nickname 1.-The
Mill Boy of the Slashes." The neigh
borhood in which Clay was born and
where he spent his early childhood was
known as THE Slashes."
Clay's ancestors had emigrated from
England to Virginia early in the sew
enteenth century. Clay's father who
was minister, died when Henry was
only a little over years Of age, in
1881, and a short time afterwards the
boy was sent to the country school in
the neighborhood, taught by an Eng
lishman named Peter Deacon. Here
he learned to read and write and a
very little arithmetic. In this log
school house in the "Slashes," the only
school Clay ever attended, he spent
three years. After leaving this school
he lived with his mother on the little
farm which was their home, and as
sisted her in such duties as a boy of
his age could perform, being often
seen on his way to neighboring mill
with a bag of grain: wherefore his
popular title later in political cam
paigns of "The Mill Boy Of the Slash
es."
The story of Henry Clay is one Of
the romances of American history.
Almost in a night he rose to fame and
power. The rapid rise shows the Won
derful chances the poor boy had in his
day. For poor he was and when hard
ly tall enough to reach the handles Of
the plough he was compelled, in order
to assist in the support of his widowed
mother, to walk barefooted along the
burrows. Again, from time to time,
whenever the meal barrel was low, he
would take a turn of meal to Mrs.
Darricott's mill on the Pamunkey riV-
er. jogging along on the family pony
with a grist bag for a saddle and rope
for a bride.
THE Mill Boy of the Slashes" kind
led, at the time, much sentiment in the
bosoms of the American people, and
a part of every popular
political pageant of the Whig party
in the presidential campaigns of 1914.
1t continues to be poetic since the gen.

Striking Bargain.-Charles M.
Schwab at a luncheon at Loretto said
of a youthful millionaire:
Its no wonder he has become a
millionaire quickly. His readiness at
a bargain is wonderful. They tell a
story about him and great captain of
industry.
when, some ten years ago, he was
struggling along in the insurance busi-
ness he called on the captain of indus

"'Can you spare me few moments

Storing a Loan.-A Memphis char
acter we'll known about town as bril-
liant but boozy, was persistent in his
applications for loans and extremely
careless about repaying them.
Several years ago, this man had in
duced a local bank to loan him $40
and had given his note therefor.
At the end Of each three months he
invariably appeared and asked that
the note be renewed; and, as there
was nothing else to do, the bank al
ways renewed 1t.
One day he went into the bank and
said to the cashier:
"I'd like to renew that paper Of
mine you have here"
Certainly" replied the cashier;
"I'n fix it up for you."
The cashier made the proper prep
arations for the renewal; and as he
was fixing up the paper he said:
Say the directors were talking
about this paper of yours the other
day. They decided they wouldn't
charge you interest on 1t any longer"
That's very considerate Of them, "
was the reply. ~ am glad to hear 1t.
1 am under obligations to them"
NO" continued the cashier, we're
not going to charge you interest, we're
going to charge you storage!"-Satur-

Not Quite.-A Humboldt rancher
returned from a years trip through
the east to find that a one-time neigh

patience, had been having a siege of
bad luck. Upon hearing the news, he
Immediately sought out the neighbor
to condole with him.
"Well, john" he said, after greet

lost all of your timber through the

The other man nodded.
"And they say that the river cut of
your best bottom-land; that your hogs
all died Of cholera that your wife and
children have been sick, and that they

Not "Trade."-One of the young
men attached to the American embas-
sy at Berlin tells a story to illustrate
that modern advertising can cope even
with the etiquette of courts.
A young American woman wished
to be presented at the court of the
king of Saxony. The high officials.
having inquired into her social stand
ing at home, objected. They represent
ed to her that the king could scarcely
receive the daughter of a retail boot
seller.
The young woman cabled home and
told her father the situation. The
next morning she received his answer:
Cant call it selling. Practically
giving them away. See advertisement"
That solved the difficulty. She was
presented as the daughter Of an "emi-
nent philanthropist." ."-Harper's Mag

TOO MUCH FOR MURDERER.
Foot Print and Few Streaks Of Blood
on Knife Led to Butchers Arrest.


on Knife Led to Butchers Arrest.
On the first Of December, 1911, the
Paris police found Jules Decasse, a re-
tired shopkeeper, dead in the kitchen
of his house at No. % Rue Montmar-
tire. Decasse had been killed with a
heavy butcher knife, almost cleaver
in size charwoman was upstairs at
the time, but she had heard no one
with Decasse, nor had she knowledge
of any one having entered the house.
She identified the knife found as one
belonging to the murdered man.
The police found nothing in their
first examination to point to the assas-
sin. DR.. Lacassagne, the famous
criminologist, was sent for by NJ. Le-
pine, the Paris chief of police.
"All that we have as evidence is
this knife" said Lepine. "Unfortu-
nately, it is one of Decasse's, and so
gives no clew toward his murderer"
DR.. Lacassagne went through the
usual procedure of photography and
then began his examination Of the
turned in the kitchen, and upon the
earth which had fallen from it was a
sharply defined footprint. Compare
son showed that it was not that of the
victim.
Next the criminologist began a mi
mute analysis of the cuts which had
caused death. From them he turned
to a microscopic examination of the
knife.
IN. Lepine," he said, ''let your men
seek for a butcher who wears pair OF
heavy shoes made by Oberheimer. of
Berlin. A butcher committed this
murder His arm is exactly 81 inches
from shoulder to palm, and he is five
feet ten inches in height"
NJ. Lepine gave his orders and the
hunt for the butcher began.
Now" said DR.. Lacassagne, 'let
us begin with this knife. 1t is certain
ly M. Decasse's. You will see here
where the man had it upon his wall.
The murderer reached up for it, and in
doing so overturned this flower pot.
Here he left his first bit of evidence in
the footprint.
Now, you will see that the blade of
the knife was used not TO stab or to
cut, but in the same way that cleaver
is used-to chop. The blood marks
come within three inches of the top.
Now look at the upper part Of the
blade where it joins the handle. You
will observe curious parallel streaks
there.
Looking at these streaks under the
microscope you will see that they have
been made by fingers being run along
the edge.
This is a butchers trick. Every
butcher invariably does this to test the
sharpness of his instrument before he
begins to cut or chop meat.
My first deduction points to a
butcher. then! l begin to reconstruct.
see the murderer reaching down the
knife. He is bent upon killing and ev-
cry thought is directed toward that
end. The moment the knife is in his
hand it suggests to him his occupation;
in fact it is, as you see, butchers
tool. Unconsciously he performs the
occupational habit action. He runs

Too Familiar With Quotations.-The
principal of a Boston school who re-
quests that his name be withheld In
order that he maintain discipline in
his classrooms. tells this:

in the western part of the state some
years ago had some trouble in main
tanning order among the girls of my
classes. They were continually play
ing tricks on me and each other in the
classrooms, and l decided to stop 1t.
The next day, following breach of
discipline, 1 ordered two of the girls
to remain after school and gave them
two long problems that kept them for
a long time. At the opening Of school
the following morning 1 opened the
day as usual by asking each member
of the class for a quotation. One of
the girls rose and quoted, With all
thy faults I love thee STILL and the
other, The hours / spend with thee.

Queerly Placed Ewes.

There is a most astonishing diversI-
ty among animals in respect to the
number and location Of their eyes. In
mammals, birds, reptiles and fishes
| they are limited to two and are in
variably placed in the head; but 9TH
ers of the animal kingdom may have
anywhere up to fifty thousand, and
they seem to have been placed any
where that seemed handy. The dra-
comfy possesses eyes composed of an
smaller eyes, and the common house
fly has about ten thousand, which may
be seen by the aid Of a magnifying
glass Of even small power.
In spiders and scorpions there are
usually eight or ten eyes in one or
more clusters on the dorsal aspect of
that part of the body which is formed
by the union of the head and thorax.
The starfish has al eye on the tip Of
each Of his five rays or arms, and in
the sea urchin, which is homologically
nothing but a starfish with the ends
Of its rays drawn close together, the
five eyes are gathered in a circle
around what is considered the hinder
portion Of its body.
The scallop has numerous eyes on
the ledge Of his mantle, extending from
one end of the animal to the other and
forming a semi circle. Some marine
worms have eyes in clusters not only
on the head. but also along each side
of the body, even to the tip Of the tail,
and they are connected individually
and directly with the median nervous
cord. In the lowest forms we may
find many infusoria which have neith-
er eyes nor nerves, but are neverthe-
less sensitive to light, either seeking
or avoiding it.-Harper's Weekly.
