Webster Coyyed Them.

William Wetmore Story the sculptor
and poet, was one of the few men who
presumed to call Lowell "Jim" to the
end, and Miss Mary E Phillips, in her
"Reminisc SCIENCES of William Wetm ore

her, the following tale of the two young
men: flames Lowell and l were very
angry with Webster for staying in old
Tyler's cabinet, and as he was to speak
in Faneuil hall on the evening Of the
30th Of September, 1912, we determined
TO go in (from the Harvard Law school)
and hoOt at him and show him that
he had incurred our displeasure. There
were 5000 people there, and we felt
sure that they would hoot with US,
young as we were.

A Timely Event.

The bell at the parsonage went ting
a-ling, and, as the dominic was in his
study and his wife getting the baby TO
sleep, Master Harold, aged Z, went to
the door. On opening it he found a
couple, evidently from the country.

looking at the boy moment, the young
man queried, SIS the parscn to homer"
Yes" said Harold. "Do you want
to get married?"
"Tha5's just what we're here for, 1"
said the prospective bridegroom as he
looked fondly at the blushing girl by
his side
"Well, come right in, then" said
the boy, ushering them into the parlor,
and when they had seated themselves
on the edge of two chairs side by side
he started of, saying: "I'll call pa, and
ma too. She'll be awful glad, for she
has all the marryin money, and l heard
her tell pa this mornin that she wished
some folks would come to get married,
cause she hadn't 'nough money to buy
her new hat. Chicago News.

Hia Hair In DanGer.

A young artist whose pipe, eyeglasses
and luxuriant blond hair have made
him we'll known in town went to a
garden sparty not so much for social
amusement as for pencil studies of high
life. He wore a tall hat, frock coat and
lavender trousers and carried a sketch
ing block a yard square A the party
his epigrams, paradoXaS and fiendish
silvery laugh overwhelmed, as he in
tended all the girls in sight CT hearing,
but he got through with his social du-
ties as speedily as might be, then went
and sat down on a distant fence.
Soon pencil studies lay all around
him on the grass. Suddenly be felt a
gentle tug at his back hair He thought,
'That is some fresh Alec trying to guy
me, " and he did not look up. The gen
tie tugging ceased, began again, became
much stronger, and then be felt some
thing wet, soft, Shiny, on Isneck With
dreadful oath he leaped from the fence
and looked behind him Back there was
a smart trap, in W hich sat two girls and
a young man laughing The horses were
close to the fence, and it was one of
these that had commenced browsing on
the artist profuse locks. Explanations
followed and apologies. "AIl flesh. the
artist said, ''is grass, but not all hair. l"

The Hour of LincoIn's Shooting.

A highly interesting story is told to
account for the fact that almost every
wooden clock in America mas its hands
painted to indicate the hour Of Is min
utes past s. 1t is related that most such
watchmakers' signs were originally
made by one man, who was at first in
the habit of painting the hands to indi-
cate any old or young hour that struck
his fancy when he came 10 that part of
the job. But when President Lincoln
was assassinated he conceived the idea
Uf cOmmemOrating the event by record
ing the hour and minute thereof upon
all his wooden timepieces, a custom
ever since perpetuated. There is some
thing striking and dramatic about this
notion Of time standing still forever
after an event of such tragic signifi-
canoe. There is 10 doubt about the fact
that nearly all the wooden clocks do in
dicate the hour Cf Is minutes past g.
You can see that for yourself. But if the
ciockmaker thought he was thereby re-
cOrding the hour Of the assassination
his intelligence was as wooden as his
wares, for President Lincoln was shot
not at IS minutes past s, but at about
15 minutes past l0-New York Post.

few great musicians have died young
to Wit, Mozart at 81, Schubert at 81,
Bellini at 50, Mendelsschn at IS and
Weber when he was but 4O-a large
number have lived to be very old men.
Those who died between 60 and 20
years of age include Bach, Won Bulow
and Rubinstein. Living Leyond 20 years
came Gluck, Gounod, Handel, List,
Meyerbeer, Rossini, Spontini and Wag-

tained by Auber and others. Dying at
more than so were Cheruhini, Cramer,

One OF the bsst evidences of the valus
Of lightning rods up TO date has been
s-lorGed by the y 8slinctOn monument.
II Is capped by snail four sided pyra-

cheap today, was very costly at the
time of tie building of the greatest
obelish that the world has ever known.
This aluminium tip is connected with
the ground by four copper rods which

8, 1885, five immense bolts of electrici-
IL were seen TO fash between the monu-
ment and "a thundercloud overhanging
in the course of 20 minutes. In other
words, the monument was struck fierce
ly five times, but il suffered no damage
whatever.
On June 10 of the same year a more
tremendous assault was made upon the
monument from the heavens, and the
result was fracture of one of the top
most stones. The crack still remains to
show what nature can do in the way of
an electrical shock, but the slightness
of the damage is evidence of man s
power TO protect himself from such at
tacks. The obelisk is ideally located for
attracting electrical assaults from the
skies, and yet, while many times hit, it
has suffered only once. and that time to
trifling extent - Boston Transcript.

Some Extraordinary Mothers.

Probably the youngest grandmother
of whom we have record was Lady
Child Of Shropshire, England. She had
married at IL years Of age and had
child before her thirteenth year was
completed. This child in turn married
while still very young, with the result
that Lady Child was grandmother at
81. The most extraordinary cases of
motherhood were those of Mrs. Honey
wood of Charing. in Kent, and Lady
Temple of Stow When the former died,
on May 10, 1920, aged 90, she counted
as her descendants 16 children. ia
grandchildren. 22S great grandchildren
and 9 great-great- grandchildren. The
other case was even more remarkable.
Lady Temple. who died in 1856, had
give birth TO sons and daughters
and lived to see more than 200 descend

incidentally invaluable In the bygone
ages Of hand labor. lubricants have be-
come almost a condition OF existence in
this century of machinery. and Of all
oils porpoise oil is the finest, the most
difficult TO obtain, almost the most cost
Iy. The difficulty, be it incidentally re-
marked, lies not in expressing the Gil
from the porpoise, but in catching the
porpoise itself. These cetaceaus, like the
fish they prey on. are most uncertain in
their movements, at one time playing
by the week in our very h2rbors, at 9TH
ers staying whole month fal from the
coast. An economic and reliable method
of obtaining a regular supply of por-
poises from our seas would be worth a
fortune.
AT present their capture is no more
than accidental. Porpoises are known to
venture into salmon estuaries during
spring flood tides, returning to salt wa
ter with the ebb, and, as an improve
ment on the present casual supply sys-
tenn, strong rope nets might lie cast at
the mouths of these estuaries to inter-
cept the invaders as they leave. Prob
ably, however, the ultimate solution
will be found in the rife and some par

soft hollow lead TO flatten in the crea-

fatal bullet the difficulty is not ended,
for it has not yet been shown whether.
