An Ineident Which Shocked and Sur. prised Him Into Tears - The Admi. ration, the Loyalty and the Gener oulty of His Circle of Friends. The following incident in the life o1 Daniel Webster was related to the writer by the late Joshua Seward: Mr. Seward came to Woburn fron Boston in the early seventies and bought a farm, where he lived until his death in 1885. He was a native 01 the New Hampshire "Peace City," from which place he came to Boston in early manhood and later engaged in the liv ery business off School street. He was a genial, social, active young man, and in a short time many of the business and professional men of the city werc his friends and patrons. Daniel Web. ster, then in the fullness of his mas terly manhood, was his particulax friend and most favored patron. One year Webster early engaged to delivei the Fourth of July oration in the city. A public procession was then an im portant feature of the celebration, and the orator of the day was the chief person of distinction in the parade. Ir those days there were no four wheeled vehicles for convenience or for pleas ure. A chaise was the proper carring( for gentlemen to use. Webster waE popular and proud as popular. le saw no chaise in the city as good as he de sired to appear in on that importani occasion, and therefore he ordered on( to be built by the principal carriagE maker of the city (Sargent, I think ii was), to be ready for use on that day. In the morning of the Fourth he ap peared at Seward's stable office and requested Seward to go to the carriag( shop and get the chaise he had ordered Seward harnessed a horse and went tc the carriage shop as directed and tol the proprietor he had come for Mr Webster's chaise. The proprietor it firm and measured tones that could not be misunderstood asked, "Did Mr Webster send the money to pay for th( chaise?" In relating this to me Seward said "I was never so astonished in my life I should have been less surprised if h< had raised his fist and knocked m( down. I had no thought that there wa. a man living who had ever heard o: the great Webster, the godlike Daniel who would or who could have deniet him any request it was possible t grant. I could only say, 'He sent n( money by me.' 'Then,' said the pro prietor, 'tell him he can have the chaisi when he sends the money to pay for i and not till then.' " Seward said h was never in such a dilemma in all his life. He could not go back and tell tha great man, whom he adored, that h( could not have the chaise till he pak for it. And yet he must go back anc tell him something. But what could h( tell him? Finally, after much though and study it occurred to him that hi had a new chaise which he would offel to Webster and tell him that the var nish on the one he had ordered was no yet hard and that it would be liable t< injure if taken out in the heat and dus: of that public day. Webster met Scw ard at the door when he returned, ani before Webster could ask a questiol Seward was telling him the story hi had invented on the way home. Web ster made no reply, but accepted Sew ard's statement as true and rode in his chaise that day. About a week later Webster came again and said to Seward, "I think thi varnish on that chaise is hard now and you may go down and get it.' Seward said: "With a heavy heart] harnessed a horse and went again tC the shop. I knew I should not get thi chaise, and I was not disappointed. II the same manner I was asked the sami question as before. I could not inven1 another story that would be credible and was therefore compelled to gC hack and tell him the truth." Webstel was impatiently awaiting Seward's re turn, and when in hailing distance hi called tQ Seward: "Where is thi chaise? WVhat Is the trouble?" Sewarc approached him more closely and iI tones so low that no one could over. hear him replied, "He told me to tel you that you could have the chai when you sent the money to pay for Ii and not before." Webster stood sileni an instant and then with voice trem bling with emotion exclaimed. "My God, Joshua, did he say that?" and sank into a nearby chair and cried as would a deeply aggrieved child of si3 summers. It is well known that Webster would Incur debt, apparently with no thought that there were two parties to a con tract, a creditor and a debtor, and that their moral obligations were co equal. Consequently his creditors sc multiplied and his indebtedness so in creased as to interfere with his po litical plans, if not, indeed, threaten his political future. At this time his friends came to his aid and, it Is said, raised the sum of*$40,000 to cancel his ixdebtedness and relieve him from the further annoyance and pressure of his creditors. When we realize that $40'. 000 was a larger sum to raise then for any purpose than would be $200,000 today we have some measure of the admiration and the loyalty of his friends.-H. C. Hall in Boston Tran script. _______ ___ Just So. "I thought you said you couldn't live without me," sneered the girl. "So I did," answered the man. "Yet you're living." "No; I'm not Just boarding; that's all."-Louisville Courier-Journal. John Hunter, the famous anatomist, once said that the feminine love of con versation was a consequenee of a pe culiarity in brain tissue. Saved liis Comrade's Life. "While returning from the Grand Army Encampment at Washington City, a comrade from Elgin, Ill., was taken with cholera morbus and wa in a critical condition," says Mr. J. E. Houghland, of Eldon, Iowa. "I gave him Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and believe saved his life. I have been engaged for ten years in immigration work aud con ducted many parties to the south and west. I always carry this remedy and have used it successfully on many ec casions." Sold by Obear Drug Co. and ACROSTICS AND ANAGRAMS. They Have Been Known Since the Days of the Ps=lmi-. We find that the acrost;c is the mvot ancient form of puzzling ri:nkiind. Acrostic is Greek for a number of verses the first letters of which for:n a word, sometimes a name ::nid sono times a sentence. The fin.l et ter run form a word, or, as Addis,:i ell us. the letters will even run down the en ter of the verses as a se:m. The ie brew poets often made their verses am over the entire alphabet. Twclve of the psalms are written on this plm. the most notable being the One Iundred and Nineteenth. This has twenty-two di visions, or stanzas, corresponding to the twenty-two letters of the lieblew al phabet. Each stanza is formed of eight couplets, and the first line of each coup let in the first stanza in the origina! Hebrew begins with the letter aleph, the second commences with beth. the third with gimel, and so on through fihe alphabet. The English divisions of the psalms are called after the Hebrew let ter that began the couplets. It was also customary to compose verses on sacred subjects after the fashion of IIe brew acrostics. This was done with a view to aid merory. and such pieces were called abcedarian hymus. The riddle Is also of ancient origin. The Proverbs of the Bible, or sayings attributed to Solomon, are often in the form of riddles. Was it not the queen of Sheba who proposed riddlks to Solo mon? The Koran, the scripturai book of the Mohammedans, also contains rid dles, as do some books now in exist ence, written in Arabic and Persian. The aincient Egyptians also propound ed riddles, and one of the seven wise men of Greece, who lived in the sixth century B. C., was ce!ebratcl for his riddles In verse. Homer, the Greek poet, according to a statement in I'lu tarch, died of vexation at not beir:A able to solve a riddle. In the middle ages riddles were encouragcd for amusement on winter nights in the baronial hall and also in the monastery. In later days some of the most brilliant men of letters contributed to the list of riddles. The anagram,.or transposition of the letters in words or sentences, was much in vogue in Greece in the olden times. The Cabalists, or Jewish doc tors, thought that the anagram always pointed out a man's destiny, and if his name written backward or transposed in any way spelled a word with mean ing they firmly believed it a revelation. The fiatterers of James I. of England proved his right to the British mon archy as the descendant of the myth ical King Arthur from his name, Charles James Stuart, which becomes "claims Arthur's seat." The best ana grams are those which have in the new order of letters some signification appropriate to that from which they are formed. When Pilate asked. "Quid est veritas?" (What is truth?) he prob ably had no idea that his question an swered itself, but it did. The transpo sition made it, "Est vir qul adest" (It Is the marn who is here). Anagrams were written as early as 250 B. C., and their name comes from the Greek words ana (backwar-d) and gramma (writing). _______ Where the Lady Was Going. An official of a New England road told the following: The ticket agents in the Boston office of our road are greatly troubled by patrons who, when wishing to pur chase tickets, lay down a coin and neither tell where they are going nor how many tickets they want. This ne cessitates one or more questions on the part of the patient agent. One day a little elderly lady approached the win dow of the office, placing a large fami ly umbrella on the slab, and, after fumbling nervously in her pocketbook. pulled out a quarter and laid it down without a word to the ticket seller. "Where are you going, madam ?" ask ed the ticket agent "Oh, I'm going to the doctor," was the tremulous reply. -An Apt Pupil. A professor who, when asked a ques tion, was in the habit of saying: "That Is a very good point indeed. Look it up for yourself," was once much disgust ed with a student who had failed to answer a very simple question. "Mr. Jones," said he, "I'm suirprised that you, who are going to teach, cannot answer such an elementary question. Why, what would you do if one of your pupils were to ask it?" "-Weil, profess or," replied the other, "if such a thing had happened before I came here I'm afraid I would have said plainly that I didn't know, but now I think I'd do just as you do and say. 'Look it up, my boy; look it up!' " No Procrastination. "Ethel," he whispered, "will you marry me?" "I don't know, Charles," she replied coyly. "Well, when you find out." he said, rising, "send me word, will you? I shall be at Mabel Hicks' until 10 o'clock. If ! don't hear from you by 10, I'm going to ask her."-London Tit Bits. Simplicity. I am convinced, both by faith and experience, that to maintain oneself on this earth is not a hardship, but a pastime, if we will live simply and wisely, as the pursuits of the simpler nations are still the sports of the more artificial.-Thoreau. Seems Reasonable. "What is the correct garb for a sur geon about to perform an operation ?" "A cutaway. I suppose."-Minneapo lis Tribune. I wlli not be conerned at men's not knowing me; I will be concerned at my own want of ability.-Confucius. A sweet breath adds to the joys of a kiss.

We do not know that his picture is there, but his name is there. He was among the first of the im mortals chosen for a place in that institution. There was con siderable discussion about his selection for a place in the Hall of Fame, and he was chosen as worthy of this honor and largely by the votes of the northern judges who passed upon such nominations as were made by the public and seconded by the senate of the New York university. The Hall of Fame consists of a colonnade 500 feet long on Uni versity. Heights in New York city. It is furnished with 150 panels, upon which are placed simple in scriptions of the name and dates of birth and death of the famous native Americans who are chosen as the 150 greatest men of this countrv. .Robert E.
