"In the second place, the ermines

Any other trap would tear the delicate

''The tongue trap is a knife. an ordi-

grease, that the hunter lays in the

A Pretty Tribute.

When Miss. Genevieve Clark,
daughter 20 f Speaker Champ,
Clark, was about to sail on a
pleasure trip to Eupope, she was
asked by a representative of the
New York American: what is
your ideal of a man." Miss Clark
replied, my father. " And when
asked, "Why?" she answered:
its because he is so intensely
humane: because he has such a
sure vision; because he knows peo-
pie so we'll and is kind. Nobody
ii the world has a kinder heart
combined withg a better under
standing of men than my daddy.
He has always been my pal and
all | know has been made real
TIN ough him. His judgment of
men is amazingly accurate and
his symps thy is big and broad"
That was a pretty tribute.
Probably there are many daugh-
tiers who find their ideal in their
father, and it is we'll for society
that some of the loving opinions
find place in public prints. 1t
is safe to say that among ali the
high tributes to his fine qualities,
Speaker Clark will treasure none
as he does the one paid him by
his brilliant daughter.
