Nothing, probably, is more interest-
ing to the student of history than to
trace the obscure causes which have
led to great events. Cemparatively few
" people now living know that the mother
of Henry Clay once “kept tavern” in
Versailles, Ky., and fewer still that had

would not have come to Kentucky at
all. What a change this might have
been in American history! How im-
portant, then, was the journey that
Henry Watkins and his wife, Elizabeth
Clhy Watkins, made thr0ugh the wil-
derness 100 years ago!
The Watkins family arrived in Ver-
sailles abotit the close of the eighteenth
century, bringing with them quite a
retinue of slaves. It may be said here
that there is little foundation for the

according to local traditions, lived in
the rather gorgeous style of the Vir-
ginia gentry, and if Rev. John Clay was
poor, it was no doubt due to the devas-
tation wrought by the revolutionary
war. It is extremely unlikely that his
poverty could have been so great as
the story books would have one believe.
Henry Clay, says the Chicago Trib-
une, did not accompany his mother and
stepfather to Kentucky, but remained
in Richmond, as deputy ’in the clerk’s
office, and engaged in prosecuting his
legal studies. The Watkinses shortly
took charge of the only hostelry in Ver-

famous in the surrounding country.
They had a two-story stone house built
at Main street and Court square by
Henry Metcalfe, at that time a stone-
mason and afterwards governor of Ken-
tucky. '
Such places were a sort of political
headquarters and a rendezvous for the
discussion of the news of the day, at
a time when. news traveled only by stage
coach. The Marshalls, the Crittendens,
the Blackburns, the Clays, the Wat-

Mrs. Clay-Watkins was an unusual.
ly attractive woman. While not a
beauty, she was comely, with dark hair
and eyes and rosy cheeks. Her man-
ners were engaging and she was amost
She
had a well rounded and shapely figure,
and possessed great vigor of mind and
body. Her first husband, Rev. John
Clay, evidently realized fully his wife’s
charms, for, in making his will, he
more than once gave directions “in case.
my beloved wife should intermarry be-
twixt this and then.” And sure enough,
at. 33, the mother of nine children, she
married Mr. Henry Watkins, “an ele-
gant and accomplished gentleman” of
23, for whom she afterwards bore seven
children.
She is reputed to have been a noble
woman, much reverenced by those who
knew her well, and with striking indi-
viduality and an imperious will.
Henry Clay's visits to his mother
after her removal to Kentucky were as
regular as the seasons. He spent a con-
siderable part of every summer in Ver-
sailles, and was a farm iané’figure on the
streets of the village. He,removed to
'Kentucky and located in Lexington in

About the year 1815 the Watkinses
gave up their tavern in Versailles and
settled upon a farm, which they owned,
three miles south of town. There Mrs.
Watkins died in 1829 at; the age of 80
years. Her remains were buried in a

An Architect’s Symbolic Jest.
According to the Evenemcnt, the
architect of the new palace of the
reichstag has given evidence of orig-
inality in the symbols he has devised for
the “Aye” and “No” lobbies, says the
London Globe. Above the door of the
“Aye” lobby there is a mosaique in
wood representing leaping sheep, and
above the “No” door is a cabbage.
Finally above the reporters’ door is a
duck (“canard")—an emblem which has
the same significance at Berlin as :2.

New Corn Makes Cholera.
The fact that new corn and hog chol-
era get ripe about the same time every
year leads many pretty good hogmeu to
believe that feeding new corn, or rath-
er green corn, makes what hog chol-
era we have. While we no doubt would
corn was fed until thoroughly ripe, there
is little doubtthat the careless feeding
of green corn has sent many a porker
to an untimely end. A great many
farmers allow their hogs to go through
the summerwithnofeed and then when
new corn comes there is at once an
anxious effort manifest to make up for
lost time and to get the hogs ready for
market in the shortest possible time,
which is by no means always the best
for the hogs or the owner.—L. 0. Way-
