CLAW Passed Joke Along.

Henry Clay made a speech in New
York one time, and among his hearers
vas Michael Walsh, afterward a con-
gresham. but at the time an appren-
flee in a printing office. His fellow
workers dared him to shake hands
with Clay. whose rooms were directly
opposite the shop where Walsh
worked. Never taking a dare, the i'm
pulsive apprentice ran across the
street and joined the line of guests
who were passing Clay and shaking
his hand. Walsh had not stopped to
wash his hands, and the result was
that the great orator after shaking
hands with the shirt-sleeved young
man found his palm sticky with print
erS' ink.
He looked at the mess for a mo-
ment with a grim smile slowly APP
nearing on his face Without a word
of reprOach he allowed the print
: er's boy to 90 on his way, but he
took care that those waiting in line
did not see what had happened to
him. Many of those assembled wore
white kid gloves. and all were dainty
and clean of hand. Clay calmly con-
tinued to shake hands, and guest after
guest departed with daubs of ink on
hand and glove BY the time the last
one had gone Clays hand was clean.

Dam Saves lndia's Crops.

With the object of saving crops and
averting the terrible famineS of the re-
gion's past history, the construction of
huge storage dams in India has been
proceeding for years. In the Ahmed
magyar district of the Deccan, east of
Bombay, a masonry dam now being
COMPLETED at Bhandara reaches the
enormous height of 270 feet, and So
miles of canals will be necessary to
utilize the water for irrigating $4,000
acres of Ahmednagar land. At Bargha.
farther south, another great dam is be-
ing built for watering $4,000 acres in
the districts of POOna. Satara and ShOl-
apur. A still larger project is the
Mira right-bank canal, now nearly
ready. which cost about S20,O00,O0O.-

TAKE TIME TO COMPLIMENT
AS "OId Ed Howe" Says, the Kicker
Really Does Not Gain Much
i'm the Long Run.

There are 50 many critics in the
press and on the platform that heaven
knows enough fault is found with the
people. The really unusual thing IS
compliment without a string TO It.
And there are d million things to COM
pliment unreservedly
In the storm of indignation ana
faultfinding, you often are almost
shocked to see thousands of decent
men and women. or communities that
are upright and progressive, ana IN
situations honestly and progressively
managed There is so much fault-
finding that you expect to hnd the
country going TO the devil and thieves
and incendiaries on every street ana
cross road. People actually find too
much fault with themselves and their
affairs. There is actually much to
commend everywhere.
You often hear people say, Ihe
kicker always gets the best OF 1t.
The kicker is a man who is always
demanding more than is properly COM
ing to him, and who is often given
an extra herring to get rid of his
noise; but there is nothing in the
popular belief that he gets the best
of it. He may in small things, but the
| best men in your community are not
! kickers: no man ever made a fortune
| by kicking.
Fortunes are made by men who are
| polite and agreeable. kicker is a
| man marked in every community TO DC
avoided. and given the worst or IL
whenever possible.
| A kicker may be given three Tor
! quarter when the regular price is IL
cents straight, but he can't KICK M
way into a big position or into rea
success in anything.
What is the particular thing the PEG
pie are doing that is most harnlI u
and foolish? 1t would be interesting
to know, but probably we never VII
know. since what some say is clVlllZd
tons greatest blessing others say
its greatest curse. SO every one mus
decide for himself, and woe unto NIL
who makes a mistake.
Most of this talk about helping III
under dog is sentiment; the under uo
does not actually receive much heip.-

Typewriter for a Duke.

In the matter of wedding presents
Queen Mary has introduced a vogue
OF giving something inexpensive but
useful, says the London Mail.
At the recent wedding of the duke
and duchess of Alba the list Of pres
ents showed that they had been the
recipients of book and pair OF op-
era glasses from Queen. Mary; but the
most original and unusual gift on the
list. especially for duke, was type
writer.
Many of those who were discuss
ing the wedding presents wondered
what a duke wanted of a typewriter,
but this should be no cause for won
der to Britishers, for their own
Princess Mary is a very efficient typist
and has herself written many letters
this way on behalf of her brother, the
prince of Wales. whose secretary she
at one time constituted herself.

Wall IS old ONE
Complaint About H. c. L. Has
Been Heard for Ages.
At Least Eighteen Hundred Years Ago
the Natives of Egypt "kicked"
on Prices of Food.

1t is interesting to learn from a
papyrus in the museum of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, by which in
stitution many important archaeological
finds have been made in the old world,
that the high cost of living ana
excessive freight rates were issued
at least 1,S00 years ago, and IL
is a peculiar coincidence. that the
complaint arose in Theadelphia, a
name closely allied to that of Phiia-
delphia, which, like other American
cities. has been wrestling with the
cost of food and the rates on anthra-
cite coal.
1t seems as if there is nothing new
under the sun; that the same issues
prevail, and that the same struggle is
being waged.
However, it seems certain that We
ourselves are much better off than the
felIaheen of Egypt in the apostolic age
or even than the small landed pro-
prietors, who had to pay as much
freight "as the traffic would bear TOT
transportation on the Nile.
We get a glimpse of life under the
Ptolemies in Egypt, when the country
was drained to furnish Rome with foou'
1t is an amazing thing that III
the Fayoum district, which is little
pocket at the westward of the Nile,
| f1imsy records on papyrus should nave

| ONLY possible in land of perpetual
| dryness. Egypt has thriven without
rain through ten millenniums, because
| the necessary water comes not from
! the skies, but along the Nile from the
center of Africa.
| Eight centuries may seem long
| time to us, but at the time the com
plant of freight rates was mentioned
there had been at least 5000 years OF
recorded history in Egypt, and I'm
doubtedly many millenniums whlcf
have left no record.
