,,ohn Adamn wau a Poor Loser.

John Aoams was FOOT Lo5SF'
 John Adams, second president of the United States, was not good loser. He wanted another term and worked hard for 1t. None of the candidates received a majority of the electoral votes, and the election was thrown into the house of representatives. But Ad- ans had no chance there, for he was third in the race, and only the two having the highest number of electoral votes could be voted for. Thus the choice lay between Jefferson and Burr, and Jefferson won. Adams was very much disgruntled and did everything in his power to make things unpleas- ant for his successor He filled every vacant office he could lay his hands on, so as to leave as little patronage as possible for Jefferson. Not only so, but in the closing hours of his admin istrution he and his party associates created twenty-three new judgeships, for which there was no necessity, and worked till the stroke of midnight on March 8 filling out and signing con- missions for these midnight judges" as they were called.-Argonaut.

TX. Yydra la Its own Doctor.

A tiny marine animal which consists merely of a stomach and mouth sur rounded by tentacles and which is ca- pable, of turning itself inside out Is called the hydra. Sometimes the hy- dra's mouth becomes oyerstretched through Its taking in too much, food. The animal promptly turns itself h. side out, ejects the superfuous food and then returns to its normal condi- ton. If 1t turns itself inside out and can't get back again 1t eventually dies. The hydra is its own physician and performs miracles of healing. If tentacle is cut off 8 complete animal will be formed out of 1t. If the body Is cut in half and the pieces placed to- gether they will grow together again; if not, two entire animals will be form ed, and any part of one animal will grow on to the cut surface of another.

Real Heroisnn.

A story came from Switzerland some years ago of a mountain guide whose name was not preserved. He, with two others, was leading a party over one of the most precipitous passes of the higher Alps. The men, as Is usual, were tied to each other by long rope. As they scaled the wall of ice they slipped on the edge of frightful chasm. This man was at the end of the rope. Without his weight there was Q chance for the others to regain their footing; with 1t there was none. He cast a glance down at the dark abyss, filled with fathomless snows' then drew his knife from his belt, say ing quietly to the man next him:
 "Tell mother how 1t was, Jose"
 He cut the rope and fell, never to be seen of mortal man again.

Your Work and Why It Is Done

There Is a reason for everything, but we don't know the reason for every thing. There's a reason why black Is black and white Is white, and there Is a reason for knowing which is which.

 The world is strcWn with lost energy. The bulk of the loss could be avoided If only workers found out the reason and remedied the leakage Most women rush headlong to d task. Now, l advo- cate quick action and decisions. But object to blind, headlong rushes.
 When put to task find out the cause of it's being done. Get definite idea of your work. Get q realization of what it leads to. Find out why.

 Every piece of work done in a fac tory or in business house has an inhu- ence on something else. That is why your work tells in the long run.

I.oNpoN. Dec. 2i.--Discussing the
speech yesterday by Premier Lloyd
George in the House OF Commons on the
war aims Of Great Britain and the ur-
gent need for more men. the 1ymcs says
that tho next few weeks are likely to

sacrifices in man power. The defec-
ton Of Russia and the demand Of the
Italian campaign impose an unforeseen
drain upon our armies. Are we going
to meet II"
The answer rests largely with tho
trade unions. Premier Lloyd George
took to himself the fullest share OF re-
sponsib,lity for the pledges given to
them early In the war. he says frankly
II was right to give them and he was
Just AZ responsible for giving them az

this and to state frankly that no abso-
luto guarantee was possible In great

Government must ask new considera
tion OF these pledges.
THE need Of men Is imperious. Rus
