CLARK'S EDUCATION.

A Washington correspondent says:
Speaker Champ Clark is one OF the
best educated men in congress. His
wonderfully stored mind Is the mar
vel of his colleagues. Few men in
public life have so wide knowledge
of history, literature, languages and
the sciences. The speaker does not
parade his knowledge, but when he
talks he can entertain his listeners
for hours. 1t makes no difference
what subject is suggested, the speak
er can discuss it at length.
Champ Clark had to work for his
education. 1t was a hard road he
travelled to success, but it was sure
Like Lincoln, his thirst for knowledge
began early. His biography in the
Congressional Directory says he was
educated in the common schools, the
Kentucky university, Bethany col
lege 1884 Mr.. Clark was presi-
dent of Marshall college, West Vir'
ginia, and for twenty-five years held
the record for being the youngest col
lege president in the United States
His first college experience was in his
home state, at the Kentucky uni
versity. He had to work his way
through that college by doing janitor
work and performing other duties.
He had no money to spend, and what
books he read, outside the college
text books, were loaned to him. With
an insatiate desire to get knowledge,
he longed to possess some books OF
his own selection. Toward the end
of his term at the Kentucky univer-
sity Champ received the first remit
lance from his father. 1t was five
dollars, and the elder Clark Informed
his boy that he sent it to pay the
boys stage fare home. Five dollars
was a whole lot of money to the
young man. He would have liked
to do what other boys did, and ride
to his home, but his love OF books
was so strong that he decided he
would walk home-sixty miles-and
spend his five dollars Tor ten volumes
of poems So, with the books under
mis- arms, Champ set out on his jour-
ney home. 1t took him two days to
cover the sixty miles. When he got
to his fathers house he had to go to
work But he found time to read
the ten volumes Of poems. This was
the beginning of his education.
Late Pence, who is one of Mr..
Clark's most ardent admirers, not
long ago was in Missouri, and was
told by one of the speakers friends
the story of Clark's early struggles
and how he had, with his first five
dollars, bought books and walked
home. A little while ago Mr.. Pence
recited the story to the speaker and
asked him if it were true: LATE, l
guess it's about right, and l have got
those books yet Their contents
are stored away in the speakers
mind.-Ft. Madison Democrat.

Col. Roosevelt is objecting to Taft
using the federal office hoMers
