George Wood was in Pittsburg
some months ago, w r hen he was ask

respects to the president, who was
ninety-four years old.
“Mr. Wood, you are from Louis

man. “I" was in Louisville only
once, and that was many years ago.
I called at the Bank of Kentucky
“DID EVER A MAX HAVE SCCH FRIENDS?’’
and met its president, Mr. Virgil
McKnight, a man known and re

“Mr. Clay did not delay a mo

pose of his call.
“ ‘Mr. McKnight/ said lie, ‘I have
indorsed a note which is due in this
bank in the next few days. It is for
$5,000. My friend is unable to meet
the note, and I shall have it to pay.
I have come to ask if the bank will
carry that paper for me until I can
arrange to settle the debt/
“ ‘Mr. Clay/ said Mr. McKnight,
‘you are mistaken. You are not on
any paper in this bank/
“Mr. Clay was greatly surprised
and said he certainly could not he
mistaken.
“Mr. McKnight then said: ‘This
bank held that paper, but it was
paid in full some days ago by friends
who desire to be unknown/
“ ‘Did ever a man have such
friends as I?’ said Mr. Clay, with
emotion. ‘I have come from a sim
ilar visit to the Bank of Louisville,
and have been told by the officers
that all the paper on which I am
indorser lias been paid/ ”—Louis

who put on that play so intensely
disliked of southerners, ‘Uncle

“At tiie end of the first act a
man who gave evidence of having
imbibed rather freely arose from his
seat and unsteadily made his way
out of the theater.
“In a short time he returned and
was about to re-enter the playhouse
when he was stopped by the door
keeper, who said:
“ ‘You can’t come in/
“ ‘Why not ?’ sullenly demanded ;
the gentleman who had been irnlulg- j
ing_ too freely. ‘Here’s m’ return!
