Building Whoso Destruction v ' v "' Was Attemptsd. Cincinnati. —The arrest Friday of C. C.

HE MADE SOME MONEY. How Champ Clark Earned Enough to Laava Kansas Town. Few people know that Champ Clark, the celebrated congressman from Missouri, and also known as a lecturer, once practiced law, or tried to do so, in Wichita, Kan. But he did, according to a Wichita letter In the Topeka Capital. In Champ Clark opened an office where the Pacific Express company now is located. There was not a great deal of business for young attorneys at that time, and Champ Clark did the best he could to make a living, but he became discouraged, and, In time, left the state and returned to Missouri, where he was afterward elected to congress. He met Kos Harris on the street one day and told him that he Intended to stay in Wichita until he had made some money, no matter how much or how it was made. Several days later he was seen on the streets and he had a beautiful bronze on his hands and face. It was the dark brown color that tells of honest toll in the corn field. “Where did you get that color?” asked one of his friends. “I got It from cutting corn up In the country,” was the reply. “Get anything else?” asked the friend, who looked at the then attenuated form of the since fleshy and prominent lecturer. “Sure,” replied Clark. “I got this dollar for the day’s work. And I want to tell you I am going to leave this town. I said I would not leave until I had made some money, and now that I have made It I am ready to leave.” He left IMPORTANCE OF BEING FORTY. Middle Age Said to Be the B*Bht Time for Marriage. At prepent, though a man is too old for many things at forty, it is not generally held that he is too old to marry. Far from that being the case, the increasing standard of comfort of the white races and the increased cost of living are steadily putting forward the marrying age. A paper read by Dr. Louise Robinovitch at the congress of psychiatry at Amsterdam suggests another reason for comparatively late marriages. From a study of 74 biographies of eminent men, writers, painters, musicians and soldiers, she found that more than 80 per cent, of them were bom of middle-aged parents. Napoleon, Benjamin Franklin. Coleridge, Balzac, Rembrandt, Rubens, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Wagner, Schumann and Schubert were ail the youngest children of large families, and their parents were at least middle-aged when the genius of the family was born. This may not be a precise argument in favor of late marriages, but it may encourage the hope in bachelors who have reached middle age without doing anything famous themselves that matrimony may recompense them for their own failure. Inference Natural. Charles, Jr., whose family moved lately next door to a handsome country home, where wide, green lawns are ornamented with strutting peacocks, was introduced for the first time to the birds of gorgeous plumage.

The question of smoking was a burning one in the mid-nineteenth century, and -it was not until 1845 that White’s gave up a room to the users of tobacco, says the London Chronicle.

It was King Edward, when prince of Wales, who broke through the tradition, and when White’s refused to extend the accommodation for smokers, started the Marlborough, wherein smoking was permitted In every part cf the house but the diningroom.
