The American people undoubtedly
pre- entitled to great many rights.
and If the truth were known 1t would
show these rights to be worth having.
But the trouble with these rights is
that they are never around when they
are needed. They are either in cold
storage or in safe-deposit boxes or in
litigation or in some ward-heeler's
vest pocket. inaccessible rights are
worse than no rights at all.--Life.

FAMOUS SAYINGS.
"He smote the Rock Of the National
Resources and Abundant Streams OF

Daniel Webster.

The quoted words are those OF DAN
Eel Webster, delivered before large
assemblage I'm New York city March
10. 1891. referring to Alexander Ham
ilton. Webster was guest In recog-
milton of his defense OF the constitu-
ton and the union In his memorable
reply TO Hayne.
After extended eulogies OF Hamilton,
Livingston, Madison and John Jay,
Webster launched into philosophical
and exhaustive discussion OF the ma
ture and the principles OF the federal
constitution, and which at that time
was the stateman's favorite theme.
The speakers reference TO Hamii-
ton, as quoted in the headline, Is found
ed upon that incident I'm the Old Tes-
lament OF Moses shifting the rock,
which Is related In Exodus xviii, ..
"(And the Lord said unto Moses)
Behold | will stand before thee there
upon the rock In Horeb. and thou shalt
smite the rock, and there shall come
water out OF II, that the people may
drink. And Moses did so In the sight
OF the elders OF Israel"
Hamilton" said Webster, was
made secretary of the treasury; and
how he filled such n place at such a
time the whole country perceived with
delight.

mother came often to my Office about
the settlement OF her estate. Some
times she brought her daughter. a
beautiful girl of 10 with red curls. One
morning, after a long conference with
the mother. | noticed that the child
seemed uncomfortable; she evidently
thought l was paying too much at
tention to her mother. l patted her
on the head and said:
