Mr. James well Sandusky, who is an
old and known traveler, and
who has recently settled in Chicago,
while coming in from I’ewee Valley
on the electric lire yesterday after
noon, told an interesting story about
Henry Clay, the great Kentucky
statesman, says the Louisville Corns

youth liyed in Mr. Clay’s district

was at prime as a lawyer.

his case looked hopeless, indeed,
lie had without any seeming provo¬
cation murdered one of bis neighbors
in cold blood. Not a lawyer in the
county would touch the case. It
looked bad enough to ruin the rep¬
utation of any barrister.
“The man, as a last extremity,
appealed to Mr. Clay to take the
case for him. Every one thought
that Clay would certainly refuse.
But when the celebrated lawyer
looked into the matter his lighting
blood was roused, and, to the great
surprise of all, he accepted.
“Then came a trial the like of
which I have never seen. Clay
slowly carried on the case, and it
looked more and more hopeless.
The only ground of defense the
prisoner had was that the murdered
man had looked at him with such a
murderous look that out of self
defense he had struck first. A rip¬
ple passed through the jury at this
evidence.
“The time came for Clay to make
his defense. It was settled in the
minds of the spectators that the man
was guilty of murder in the first
degree. Clay calmly proceeded, them in laid his
all the proofs before

about to conclude, he played his last
master card.

assuming the fiercest, blackest look
and carrying the most undying
hatred in it that I have ever seen,
‘gentlemen, if a man should look at
you like this, what would you do?’
“That was all he said, but that
was enough. The quailed jury in was their startled,
and some even seats.
The judge moved uneasily on his
bench. After fifteen minutes the
jury filed slowly back with a ‘Not
guilty, your honor.’ The victory
was complete. Clay congratulated

WHAT IS MAN?
A Learned Treatise on this
Wonderful Annimal.
Man is a two and legged walks animal that
chews tobacco on forked
ends. Most men were born, We
never heard of but one that wasn’t,
and he was made of mud—just for a
sample. Man is found in most parts
of the world. He roams at will,
feeds in the daytime and sleeps at.
night—some nights. He is very
tame. You can go up to him and
and put your hand on him anywhere,
so you don’t put it in his pocket
book, he has under such conditions
been known to kick, Man’s life is
full of disappointments, He patent med¬
icine and cob pipes. goeth forth
like a lion in the morning and leaves
the wood for his sneaks wife home to chop. In
the evening he with his
pants ripped and raises cain about
hard times. Man is like a dog, howls
a great deal and runs around at night.
Like an elephant, he has a trunk but,
doesn’t always take it with him- -the
elephant does. Men are like nails in
one respect—in either of nine them cases out crooked of ten
where are
they have been driven to it by a
woman. Men are like chickens—
they always want the highest roost.
No man will swear before a lady; lie
always lets her swear first. Little
things worry a man worst—twins for
instance. Man may enjoy taking
his sweetheart upon his knee, but
after marriage he doesn’t like to be
sit upon. Man flourishes like a rag
week today and tomorrow the under¬
taker has him salted away in an ice
box. Now as to what man
for, anthropology is still in the dark.
Being strong he is used to draw pict¬
ures, carry news and revolvers. Prop¬
erly trained, man can jump higher
than any known animal, he has been
known to jump Although mountain resort
board bills. in many
ways man is like other animals in
one respect he differs from all; he
lies while standing up.
In Olden Times.
Mon told the time bv the sun, but
now they rely upon their watches,
which for accuracy are unquestioned
if they are regulated and repaired by
me. I can make your watch run as
correctly as my regulator, if you sav
