Iff I Name f Thomas Jefferson i
II J One of America's Greatest
B j One of the first documents with
which the Amcrlcnn student becomes
'familiar la tho Declaration of lnd
Hid 1 Ipcndcnce. Hn licarn It rend, In hit)
HE ichlldhood, upon those red letter occte
HD Islons, the vlllngo Fourth of 'uly cole
I jbrutlons; ho peruses It In 1 when
l 'he familiarizes himself w Ills-
HjB 'tory of his country; and ,H en
Hi him for critical study In connection
HJ1 with his rhetoric.
Hjy The author of this wonderful cam-
HJ jKisltlon was a strange comhluntlon of
HJl simplicity nnd astuteness. In soma
HJ things ho was Impractical nnd vision-
HK nry In the extreme; In otkeis his Juds-
HHjCt incnt was unerring and his foresight
HJ( rcmnrkahltic.
Hj' . He was an opponent of slavery, con-
HJ' Sending that the continuant u of the
HJi' (traffic In humanity would result in
Hal Jtroublo and liloodshcd. He went so far
Hj fas to Incorporate In the Declaration
HJ) of Independence nu article denouncing
Hi,'- t George HI for tmcournglng Hie Hlnvn
H- ;. trade. This was one of the clauses
Hi .that was stricken out Ity the revising
HJ .committee. Ijiter, when In the house
Hj! flf burgesses of Virginia, he attempted
HJ to eccuro the enactment of n law tJ
HJk the effect that after n certain date all
Hbk negroes horn of slave parents wore (a
HHj ,1)0 free. The act was defeated. In
HHJ ,hls autobiography, written In 1821, ho
HHJ
HHJ "The day Is not far distant when II
HHJ must adopt It, or uorso will follow.
HH (Nothing Is more certainly written In
HH ' . ' 'the book of fate than these peoplo are
HH ;to he free."
HH As n contrast to these prophetic
HH (Statements, listen to whnt he had to
HH) (say relative to yellow fever: t
HH "Most evils nro tho means of pro-
HH ,-duclng some good. Tho yellow fovur
HHJ iwlll discourage tho growth of great
HHJ Cltles In our nation, and I view great
HHJ 'cities as pestilential to tho morals,
HHJ health and liberties of man." Later
HHJ c !ho wroto:
HHJ l ' "Cultivators of the earth aro the
HHJ jinost vigorous, tho most virtuous, tho
HHJ ' inost Independent. I consider artificers
HHJ j as panders of vice and tho Instruments
HHJ jby which tho liberties of a country aro
HHJ generally overturned. Were I to In-
HHJ jdulge in my own theories, I shouuld
HHJ Jwlsh the States to practice neither
HHJ .commerce nor navigation."
HHJ i j Jefferson came from an old Amerl-
HHJ can family, his ancestors having pro-
HHJ ceded the Plymouth Pilgrims. He flrat
HHJ t saw the light of day April 13, 1743. He
HHJ 'was sensibly brought up, received a
HHJ fair education, and was not remiss in
HHJ physical culture. Ho entered the Will-
HHJ lam and Mary college at tho age of
HHJ 17, and continued therein until he
HHVJ graduated. He then read law In the
HHJ office of George Wytre. began the
HHJ practice of law in 17C7. nnd married
HHJ . the young widow of Hat hurst Skclton,
HHJ jJnn. 1, 1772. Jefferson was twice elect-
HHJ -ed to the house of burgesses of Vlr-
HHJ glnln, and then became a member of
HHJ 'the Colonial congress, In which body
HHJ lie was chosen In draft the reply of
HHJ (Virginia to Lord North's conciliatory
HHJ propositions. He also drafted the
HHJ manifesto nfter the battlo of Hunker
HHJ allll, congress' reply to Lord North,
vnto life, though not Inactivity. It was
during this period of retirement that
he wroto his "Notes on Virginia." A
Inrge part of this work was dono under
tho shelter of n peculiar rock, which
still Btands, nnd which has been
known, since that time, as "Jefferson's
Itock."
In 1782 death took from him his be-,
loved wife, and to divert his mind
from his snnow ho accepted n mission
to Fiance. In 1783 he retrned to servo
another term In congress, nnd later
returned iinln to France, spending
soveinl years there as tho representa
tive of this nation. Ho returned to
become n member of Washington's
cabinet, In the capacity of secretary
of stute
It 3 a rcmnrkuhlo coincidence that
the close of tho llfo of the author of
the document that gave this country
tho Fourth to celebrute should occur
on July 4, but such wns the case.
Ills health began falling him In the
winter of 1821!. Ho continued to de
cline throughout the spring nnd the
early summer months, and It was evi

A New Story of Washington.
At n recent meeting of tho Wash
ington Heights chapter of tho D. A.
It. the regent related a story of Wash
Ington and tho Jumel Mansion which
was now to thoso present, nnd runs
as follows:
Washington and Auron nurr had
mot In tho council chambor to tils
cuss certain mattors connected with
tho revolution, when they wero star
tied by seeing a band of 500 Indlnns
coming up the roadway. These lat
ter presented themselves to the
"Great Whlto Father." and asked him
to smoke the pipe of peace with them.
This he and Burr proceeded to do
with alacrity, and when tho ceremony
was completed and tho Indians had
Turned to go, Washington heaved a
sigh of relief and said: "I never in
my llfo was so delighted to see the
backs of a delegation!" Whereupon
Hurr-asked if he wero not glad that
they had only desired that ho should
smoke tho pipe of peuco with them.
"Yes, very glad, Indeed," Washing
ton is reported to huvo replied, "but
for two lone white men to smoke tho
pipe or peace with GOO Indians Isn't
such nn unalloyed pleasure after all!"

which wns apparently tho worst night
In tho year, ovon John woro a long

open for t-e minister to enter, John's
doleful expression was bo noticeable
that tho minister Inquired if ho were

off tho mud In tho morning.
"No, It Is -not the work that I'm

TWITCHING NERVES

Mrs. Elizabeth IlniiuellR, of No. 408

"For twoyenrs I suffered from a trying
nervousness in my lower limbs from luy

grandmother had suffered heforo me.
Tho Hituation was for many years ac
cepted ns tiuavoldnblo hucnupn heredi

sou wns realizing benefit from the uso o'f
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I thought tlicro
might possibly bo somo good in them for

serious ns to mnko it dlfllcnlt for me to
sleep. I often had to walk tho floor in
rcstlossucss tho whole night. After tak
ing somo six boxos tho twitching disap
peared nnd I censed to uko tho remedy.
i evidently stopjied n little too soon for

time. Rollef camo nt onco nnd siuce I
topped using thoin tho second time I
havo been freo from any return of the
twitchiugs or from any interference with
my sleep."

Born Feb. 7, 1811;
Died Aug. 11, 1875.
I camo without my own consent,
Lived n fow years, much discontent,
At human errors grlovlng;
I ruled myself by reason's laws,
But got contempt, and not applause,
Bccauso of disbelieving.
For nothing o'er could mo content,
To faith, somo people did assent,
Alono could glvo salvation.
But now tho grass docs me enclose,
The superstitious will suppose
I'm doomed to hell's damnation.

Devoid of somo foundation.

Deer Fought with Motor Car.
An extraordinary battlo between a
motor car and n deer recently oc
curred outsldo Perth, Scotland. A
gentleman and his friends wero trav
eling in their car by night along tho
high road. They wero going along
slowly, when they saw what seemed
to bo two green balls of flro suspended
In the air about five feet above the
road. The driver recognized tho oyes
of a deor, and, approaching tho ani
mal, ho turned the powerful headlight
on It, and sounded tho horn. Tho
combination ot light and noise seemed
to madden the animal, which was a
large buck, and It charged tho motor
car. The headlight was demolished at
tho first charge. In the second tho
deer cut one of the tires with his hoof.
The motorists felt themselves' defeat
ed, and tried to escape, but In the ex
citement of the moment tho driver
ran tho machlno Into a tree, and the
buck renewed his attack. Finally, one
of tho men succeeded In getting a rlflo
from beneath the scat and shot tho
animal.

Great Sculptor's Early 8trugglea.
Augustln Rodin, the French sculp-'
tor, had a great struggle with poverty
and adverse criticism In bla youth.,
Of an episode of this early jterlod a'
writer says: "With that Inflexible
will and singleness of purpose ' that
never failed him throughout his ca
reer, the young sculptor sot himself
to express In clay, marble or bronze
his conception of life and art. He,
used his leisure In working at nlght-j
time, In a desorted stable ho had
transformed Into a studio, at his won-!
derful mask of 'The Man with the,i
Broken Noso.' After elghteon months
ot hard and patient labor ho flnlshodj
this mnsk and sent It to tho salon. It
took tho hanging commlttoo tourtcon
years to dlscovor any merit In tin
work, for It wns rejected In 1804, and
finally accepted only In 1878." I
