It was President Polk wfea Brat had the
cauraga to disregard tha political pernors
of the times by tnrtting Henry CSay, who
had been his competitor, to din with him
and htra Polk tn th White House. It was
near the close of th Polk administration,
during which Clay had been a senator most
of the time, and I wail remember bow It
shotted the democratic sentiment ef the
tune when it waa announced that Clay had
dint-J aith President Polk, net on a state
oteaaun. but had been welcomed at the
faraUy dinner aa a friend. Clay waa th
soul of chivalry, and Polk waa a roan of
unt lenoiahed character aud h-jrn attain

has never since been broken.

Sampson as well as about Schley.

was printed off- With this under his arm
and blood in his eye. General Agnus caUed
upon President McKinley and laid th
unique copy of that special edition before
McKinley.
"There has been printed only this copy,"
said General Agnus, "It will be published
tomorrow if you are still determined to send
the Sampson promotion to th aecata.
President hfcKinley looked the paper

"This Interests tne deeply. General Ag

Schley and the plates that wera kept locked
up in s safs in the Baltimore American

occasion to use more than that on copy.

Leek H. Shaw of loss, formerly aecre
tary of th treasury, has a story cn tap to
fit almost svery situation that presents It
self. Hs was governor of Iowa when
President Roosevelt invited him to become
a member of his cabinet- He went to
Washington In response to a summons
from th White House. Whtl Mr. ShaWa
appointment had bees rumored. It had sot
beea announced officially and a persistent
rumor was In circulation to the effect th.t
he would not accept the cabinet offer.
Several correspondent a waited on Mr.
Shaw at his iiotei to lean. ISm intentions
regarding tha matter.
"When I was a boy." ha said. 1 started
off one day on a fishing trip with another
boy. Wa had a long tramp to the fishing
place, and. as th weather was warm, ae
grt very thirsty, and upon coming to a
farm house my companion suggested that
we atop and get a drmk of water. The
lady of tha house not only gave us a
drink out of a nice tin dipper, but insisted
upon our taking some pie. E1U. my com
panion, took a large piece, but. from diffi
dence or aotuetbing. I declined. Bin looked
at m in amassment. Ts.' ba said, 'al
ways help yourself to pie when It is pass
ing.' That was pretty sound ad vie and I
Lav acted on that princ'.pl ever since '
