Webster's Lost Opportunity.
Daniel Webster, expounder of the
Constitution, great senator and elo-
quent orator, hud set his heart on be-
coming chief magistrate of the Ameri-
can republic. All efforts to secure
the presidential nomination proved
abortive. He could have had the
nominal ion for the vice presidency in
1840 by simply Indicating his willing-
ness to accept. Disdainfully he brushed
the suggestion aside. He considered
himself above playing second fiddle
with William Henry Harrison. Had
he been equipped with more self-abne-
gation than haughtiness he would have
accepted, and had he done so he would
have become President April 8, 1841,
an even month after the Inauguration
of Tippecanoe and Tyler, too, as a
result of Harrison's death.

Animals Blush.
Poets have for ages regarded the
btuah as a thing of beaury In the
gentle sex; but, after all, It Is only
a rush of blood to the face, caused by
modesty or some other emotion. An-
imals blush, too, we are told, but
through fear. Horses blush in their
pure, especially the left one. When
a horse Is frightened hla left ear will
be found to he very much swollwn.
This Is also the case with rabbits.
Cows and similar animals blush Just
above the hoof while the dog uses his
tall for this purftose. When a dog is
frightened his tail hangs limp, as he
has lost all control over It. Bveu in-
sects are said to blush. They do It
In their antennae, or feelers.

TO MAKE HEADWAY IN LIFE
Consecrate and Concentrate, Is the
Advice Given by Writer in
Forbes Magazine.
Von wiitu to ittitlu; headway In the
world, of course. See If this thought
can help you: First, consecrate your-
self to your calling: then concentrate.
The lives of most men of notable
achievement have been characterized
by consecration and concentration. He-
fore one can consecrate oneself, one
must he possessed by some bigger and
broader and belter idea than mere
money making. There must lie some-
thing In the work vital appeals to one.
The work must appear to be worth
while, worth effort and Industry and
sacrifice. You could not, for exam-
ple, conceive of anyone consecrating
himself lo •'bootlegging." There isn't
one honest calling, however, to which
a worker could not consecrate him-
self or herself if animated by the right
spirit. Having consecrated oneself to
a line of endeavor, then concentration
mist follow if proficiency and success
are to be attained.
The worker, be he employee or em-
plo>i-r. who hasn't consecrated him-
self to his calling falls to derive from
ii i hiti deep satisfaction known to
those mIio have consecrated themselves
to their jobs. Concentration*fol|o\ys
consecration naturally and with joy
rather than hard effort.--Forbes Mag-

Swiss Santa Rings Bell.
In the quaint little town of St. (Itll-
len, Switzerland, which has retained
many of its curious medieval customs,
Santa Clans makes his visits ringing a
gigantic cowbell, says Popular Science
Magazine.
In St. (.alien, every Christmas eve
twelve men array themselves In white
trousers and shirts, embroidered wool
suspenders, and bright red ties. Each
one fastens hu enormous cowbell on
to k wl-'e ;-atiter belt, and covei1! his
head wi:'i an enormous mask of card-
board "• upper part of which la
decorated by stenciled designs.
One of the twelve Is called "Sami-
chlaus." It Is his duty to give the good
children presents. The other eleven
remain at a little distance on the out
aklrts of the Jolly crowd that foUovsa
them on their rounds, giving candy to
the grownups itnd entertaining every-
body with their clowning.
Cave-Dwelling Snakes.
Until recent times no reptiles were
known to have adapted themselves to
existence in the darkness of caverns.
Now. however, It Is known that In lite
Malay peninsula a snake, a species
of coluber, inhabits certain caverns,
feeding upon the hats.
These cave-dwelling snakes attain
it length of between eight and nine
feet. Their coloring simulates that of
the walls of the caverns. The rock
Is a yellowish limestone, traversed
with blackish veins, and these mark-
ings and colors are curiously repro-
duced In the snakes, many of which
lurk on the ledge In the semi-darkness
near the entrances, watching for the
bats. '
The Game of Whist.
All great discoveries are works of
time, and the game of whist is no ex-
ception to the rule. Its merits were
not recognized in early times, and un-
der the vulgar appellation of "whisk
and swobbcrs" It long lingered in the
Kervants' halt ere it could ascend to
the drawing room.
At length some gentlemen In Eng-
land who met at the Crown coffee-
house In Bedford Hod. studied the
game, gave It rules, established Its
principles, and then lid ward HoyJc, In
174.1, blatotied It forth lo all the world.

The recent adjustment in the price ol the popu-
lar design has created new values for a truly remark-
able instrument. The Heppelwhite Model of the
New EDISON, formerly sold at $167.50, is now
offered for $145,00, a saving of $22,50.
If you are a lover of good music you will appre-
ciate the superior tone qualities ol this fine model of
the New EDISON.
If you are a lover of good furniture you will
welcome this pleasing adoition to the furnishings of
your home.
But you are very likely a lover of both, and so
we suggest merely that you see and hear this model,
remembeiing that it is now offered at a new price of
$145—and may be bought on our BUDGET terms.

When Lincoln Practiced Law.
Once lu tbe old courthouse at Meta-
mora, 111., a prominent citizen of the
town souglit Lincoln's advice because
a neighbors' pigs were In his cornfield.
Then no one had fences, and pigs
were privileged property. After lis-
tening to the man's grievance, Lincoln
said: "Well, you will have to civilize
both tbe man and his pigs.1' Auothor
leading resident of those early days
waited untU Lincoln was through
speaking to inquire what he had bet-
ter do about a bad debt. Lincoln
asked how much money was at stake,
and upon finding that the sum was
$50 remarked: "Well, just throw it at
him. A man can't go through court
for $50."
