WEBSTER AS A ORlNKER,
The Great Orators Deep PotatiOnB
Before Two Famous Speeches.

Before Two Famous Speeches.
Daniel Webster was invited to Rich
mond in the tifties. He accepted the in
vitation, came to Richmond and went
to the Exchange hotel. He was invited
by the state legislature to address
them and the people Of Richmond, and
committee consisting Of James Lyons
Of Richmond and Robert Il. Scott of
Fauquier, two of the most eminent
lawyers In the state. were sent down to
the hotel to escort him to the capitol
building. They found Mr. Webster in
n state of lntoXlcation In such degree
that Mr.. Lyons said to Mr.. Scott: "This
man can't make speech. You must
take his place" Mr.. Scott replied, mo
man can take the place of Daniel Web
stcr."
After delay. during which Mr.. Web
ster improved n little, he was asked If
he would 20 to the capitol. He replied,
yes" With great difficulty Messrs.
Scott and Lyons supported and helped
him to the capitol. When they reached
the rotunda near the Washington stat
ne, Mr.. Lyons said MIR. Webster. do
you think you can speakY IF you will
give me Il drink Of brandy, yes"
4 messenger was sent to Il neighbor-
ing hotel and bottle Of brandy
brought. Mr.. Webster poured out sue
ccsslvely two goblets full and drank
them off, Strengthened himself up,
shook himself as lion might have
done. walked steadily and directly to
the position from which he spoke, on
the south porch Of the capitol, and In
the presence Of an audience of 5000
people. which consisted of the intellec-
tuality and beauty Of Richmond. male
and female. made his celebrated Octo-
Der speech. one of the greatest even Of
his life.
Edward Everett related that on the
day Webster replied to IIayne Of South
Carolina he walked with him to the
capitol; that he seemed so badly pre-
pared that he doubted him and feared
that he was not equal to the occasion;
that lust before he rose to speak he
drank goblet of brandy and then
made his great speech In reply to
Uaync. which is an English classic.
Such was the effect Of the beverage on
Webster. Beverages.

For thirteen years the author OF
"Waverley" was unknown. Indeed the
country spoke Of him as "the great un-
known" a pseudOnym Sir Walter
Scott often employed in writing. But
on Feb. %, 1927, Sir Walter gave din
ner party to which. among others. Lord
Meadowbank, the judicial magnate,
who CHANGED to know his hosts secret,
was invited Then when the toasts
were being drunk MeadOwbank. with
SCOTS permission, got up and proposed
the health of "the great unknown, Sir
Walter Scott" The effect was magical
and the news spread through the coun'
try like wildfire. Indeed that dinner
and the secret it disclosed was the
most talked of event of the year.

Repafd In Kind.

At a certain ball In the country the
other evening q gentleman undertook
to introduce a companion to a young
but somewhat stout lady, who seemed
to be pining for dance.
mo, thanks, old fellow. l don't care
to waltz with cart"
A cart" is understood in the district
referred to as a partner who does not
do her share Of the dancing. but has to
be drawn around.
A few evenings later the same young
lady, who had overheard the conversa-
ton, beheld the young man seeking an
introduction and asking if he might
have the honor, etc.
"No. thank you." she replied. Il may
be a cart, but l am not donkey cart|

The Scepter.

The scepter was the emblem Of pow
er. AS the silver wand, so familiar in
cathedrals, was once hollow, containing
the "virge" or rod with which chastise-
ment was inflicted upon the choristers
and younger members Of the founda'
ton, so the royal scepter represented
the right to infict punishment Hence
the expression ito sway the scepter
implied the holding Of regal dignity
The scepter with the dove possessed the
additional Specification Of the Holy
Ghost, as controlling the actions of the
sovereign. The same idea was con-
yeyed at Reims by the beautiful cere-
mony Of letting loose a number OF
doves at the coronation Of the French
kings.-GOod Words

curious Stone Implements OF Ous
AboriEines Puzzle Scientists.

AbOriGiEes Puzzle SCIENTISTS
Among thousands of curious objects
Of utility. weapons, ETC., or the races
that peopled North America In prehis-
toric times that one sees in the cases
and cabinets in the Smithsonian inst-
tuition are some five or more curiously
wrought stone objects from mounds In
Tennessee bearing such a close re-
semblance to modern fiatirons that
many people have thought that such
might have been their use among their
prehistoric makers, although 1t would
be hard TO imagine what the primitive
aborigines Of this continent had to
iron.
The shape and appearance of these
objects in every way correspond with
a modern fatiron, handle and all, and
thus far scientific men have been I'M
able to discover what they were used
for. 1t is, however, just little singu-
lar that wrought stones, similar TO the
ones from the Tennessee mounds, nave
been found In Peru among the tombs Of
the meas anu AT lIic hSSlOPOAAo Va al
con. The old Spanish writer's. men
who accompanied Pizzaro In the con-
quest of that country, state that the
ancient Peruvians, who were great
builders. used these wrought stones. or
so called flatirons, as trOwels In plas-
tering walls with mortar.
The objects found in one OF the Ten
nessee mounds are the only ones that
were ever found in the United States,
and the only way to account for their
presence in that locality is to suppose
that in pre-C Columbian times great
deal of Peruvian material reached
countries far TO the north Of the 18TH

DruCstores Old and New.

Sometimes it seems as If drugstOres
have everything except drugs. The
middle aged man or woman remembers
when the apothecary shop had a dis
tinctive smell Of drugs and chemicals.
Nothing was in sight but jars Of won
drously colored liquids and powders.
crystals and sticks and drawers of Gu
rious things with Latin labels. The
only thing that was at all attractive
for the women was the case Of fancy
soaps and perfumes, with face powders
and cosmetics, and for the men the case
Of cigars. The soda fountain made the
first innovation. 1t was no such preten-
tious affair as now dominates the cor
ner drugstore, however. 1t stood mod
estly on one end of the counter. There
were five or six kinds Of sirups and no
ice cream or hot drinks. Later candy
found place in the apothecary's. then
came stationery, and now there are all
sorts of bric-a-brac.-New York Press.

The Great Whine OF Saving Time

Thrift Of time is as necessary as
thrift Of money, and he who knows
how to save time has learned the Sc
cret Of accommodating educational OPP
portunity. Men who regard it as sin
full to waste money waste time with
a prodigars lavishness because they
do not understand the value of short
periods Of time. Society is full Of peo-
pie who might enrich themselves
hundredfold and make their lives i'm
mensely more interesting if they learn
ed this commonplace truth.-Ladies'
Home Journal.

The Word TreRc1e.

The word treacle has undergone an
odd modification. At first 1t was applied
to such decoctions of roots or other sub

medical practice; then, as these were

my sweet connection or confection,
and lastly, as molasses was the. sweet
