that brings rounds Of applause from
the interested spectators.
They wade into the water without
the slightest hesitation, with a train
er mounted on the back of each ami
NAL, and allow the breakers to cover
all but their heads. Two of the more
venturesome animals have been going
beyond thier depth and have proven
that they are excellent swimmers.
The comedian of the herd has delight
ed the onlookers by spouting water
aloft in the manner approved by
whales, and all five elephants have
shown by their actions that they are
enjoying their stay at the shore.

When a group Of New Hampshire
citizens formed the Daniel Webster
Birthplace association the legislature
appropriated $500 for the work 9th
er funds were derived from member
ship fees and donations. The associa-
ton purchased the old Webster farm
of 100 acres for about $500. Only q
part of the old house was there and
1t had to be moved from the original
foundations. Nobody seemed to re-
member just where 1t had stood. but
careful search discovered the stones
on which 1t had rested before. The
cellar had been filled in, but on being
excavated the plan Of the original
house stood revealed.
There were also some sketches that
Webster himself had which showed
how the old home had looked.
Wherever possible the original mate
rial was used. Some clapboards from
the old barn, nearly is venerable as
the house itself, were utilized. In q
few cases where new material had
to be used wood stains gave 1t the ap-
pearance of age. The restoration Of
the old fireplace was simplified by the
discovery Of pile Of chimney bricks
in a corner of the cellar-the identical
bricks that had formed the old Chin
ney. They we're all numbered, as was
the custom in those days.
The fireplace is In the combination
kitchen and dining room and living
room and is one Of the two principal
rooms Of the house. Among the Chin
ney brick were found many other old
domestic articles buried, among them
the slaves and the bottom of the buck

This well, too, has been restored, with
It's old fashioned sweep.
The birthplace association expects
to have a caretaker who will live on
the place and have the double duty Of
working the farm and guarding the
old cabin against curio hunters.
The site is three miles from the Gen.
ter of Franklin, has no immediate
neighbors, and is practically isolated.
II is said that when Daniel Webster
was born, In 1882, this clearing and
house stood farther north than any
other in New Hampshire.
The association will try to raise an
endowment of $4,000 to provide for
the perpetual care Of the old farm.
