John Adams Was a Poor Loser.

John Adams. second president of the
United States, was not a good loser
He wanted another term and worked
hard for it. 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,
30 as to leave as little patronage as
possible for jefferson. Not only so,
but in the closing hours of his admin
istration 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 filling out and signing COM
missions for these midnight judges"
as they were called.-Argonaut.

Real Heroism.

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 a 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 it there was none.
He cast a glance down at the dark
abyss, filed with fathomless SHOWS,
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.

The HYDRA Is Its Own Doctor.

A tiny marine animal which consists
merely of a stomach and a mouth sur
rounded by tentacles and which is ca
pable of turning itself inside out Is
called the hydra. Sometimes the n.y.
dra's mouth becomes overstretched
through its taking in too much food.
The animal promptly turns itself in
side out, elects the superfuous food
and then returns to its normal condi-
ton. If it turns itself inside out and
can't get back again it eventually dies.
The hydra is its own physician and
performs miracles of healing. II a
tentacle is cut off 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.
