tty Home of these anecdotea, for
eufllclently obvious reasons, never got
beyond the currency of oral tradition.
Others have been fudlcloualy edited
and paused Into print. One which I
had from original hearers may possi

The noble Daniel, an everybody

out of, debt than to discharge his own
obligations lie would remember *

Chronic financial embarrassment,
On one notable anniversary Daniel
Webster huh called upon to "say
, something" on five different topics,
of more or less specific gravity. The
last and weightiest whs "The National
Debt." It was Into, and the banquet
had Hlready passed tho "walnut* and
Wine" stage, when the mighty Daniel
arose wenrliy for his culminating out
burst of oratory. Thruatlng one hand
Into the expansive bosom of his coat,
bo stood there In his familiar Jovelike
attitude, trying to think what his sub
ject was supposed to be.
"The National Debt," whispered the
toastmaster, prompting hlrn.
With superhuman dignity, the New
Kngland Demosthenes pulled himself
together and In deep organ tonoB
spake thus:
"And now we come, my fellow citi
zens, to that momonetous considera
tion, the national debt, gentlemen: the
national debt" fumbling in his w-aist
coat pocket "why, dnmn It. I'll pay
It myself." ? From the "Reminiscences

Sir Walter Obeyed.
Miss Alice Wernher. writing on tho
centenary of the birth of Bishop
Colenso, recalls an aniUKiiiK Incident
which occurred when Colenso arrived
In Durban after his. visit to Kngland
In Luiiubclion with the native. quouvj
tion, whicli stirred such depths of ,
bitterness in years ago
lie \yas warned not to preach 'in:
his own church St. Paul's, but per? i

which took phic;e was tho rising of!
tho late Sir Walter Peace to leave!
the church as Bishop Colenso entered
the pulpit
In trying t?> open the door of Ids
pew. Sir Walter dropped IiIh hat rind
heavy stick
"Amid the clatter the bishop, all
unconscious, gave out his text, 'Peace. 1
He Still," and the astonished Peace,
hit as It were between th? eye?? sank
back Into hlfc v rfft'at and remained
there."
Domestic Treasure
? The death has just taken place at >
Green Lanes, lxmdou, of Hannah
Crawley, aged seventy-three, who, dur- !
ing an unbroken period of i>3 years,
nerved the family of Mr. Coleman
Jones, a government contractor, now
living at S. Sprtngdale Road. N In
her youth she declined sevoral offers
of marrtafto, und during th? 63 yean*
Rhe was not absent from her work a j
single day.
Mr. Jones ha? atil) in his employ
another maid who has served 34
years w ithout being absent a day. The
rule of these "domestic treasures" was
to take a holiday when their employ
ers did, and to take It with them.
