1889, though siXty-two years old, he was
laundering away at Calhoun across the floor
of the Senatc-and incidentally being con-
sidered from time to time as a probable
candidate for the presidency
In lS42, after nearly forty years of public
life, he delivered an affecting farewell, before
retiring to the beautiful shades of "Ash-
land, as his home near Lexington is still
called That farewell address was one OF the
most notable ever delivered in the United
States Senate. For two hours before the
speaker rose the galleries were packed to
suffocation, and nobody could get in or out.
He reminded the Senate that he had been
in the public service almost continuously
since 1906 "When death has closed the
scene," he said, "then sentence will be pro-
nounccd, and to that | commit myself"
The Senate adjourned out of respect to the
departing statesman, one of his colleagues
remarking that "Clay's leaving Congress
was something like the soul quitting the
body" Among the members who crowded
round him was Calhoun, who shook hands
with him for the first time in many years
But the man who would rather be right
than be President could not resist the lure
of the Big Dome In 1874 and again in 1S4S
he aspired to the office, and was hopelessly
defeated each time Meanwhile the friends
of a lifetime found an opportunity of ex-
pressing the esteem and affection in which
he was held. At critical moment they
came forward and saved ashland from
being sold at auction. 1t is one of the great
est of all tributes to the sterling character of
Henry Clay that after lifetime of public
service in positions of great financial power
he returned to private life poor man.
He died in the harness at Washington in
1852, at the age of seventy-fve. Of his many
journeys from Washington to Lexington,
none was so triumphant and SO marked by
genuine affection as the last journey, when
his casket passed by successive stages to its
final resting place.

TOLD TOO MUCH
IN the primary grade it was customary to
1 repeat the Lords Prayer as part of the
opening exercises each morning. During
prayer the children would bow their heads
upon their desks, each child resting his head
upon his folded arms. One morning imme-
diately after prayer small girl held up her
hand.
"What is it, Mary?' asked the teacher.
"Oh Teacher, l saw Johnny looking

"Caruso!' answered small boy.
"Good!' said the delighted teacher. "Now
who can tell me what great man sang with
Caruso?"
"Crusoe's man Friday" was the unex
