ALL SHARE III GLORY
Lesser Known Signers of the Im
mortal Declaration.
SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN
Their Courage and Faith Deserves
Recognition Along With Those
Whose Names Are Now House
hold Words In the Nation.
F THE fifty-six men who
signed the Declaration of
Independence, but a scant
dozen attained Immortality
Thomas Jefferson, John
Hancock, Richard Henry
Lee, John Adams, Benja
min Franklin and a few
others. But what about Josiah Bart-
lett, Thomas McKean, Charles Carroll
itoDeri .Morns, ueorge layior, Ldward
Rutledge, John Hart, Francis Lewis,,
Button Gwinnett and a score of oth
ers? Fifty of those fifty-six men were
present during the discussion and
adOOtion Of tllft Deellimtinn inH ool
delegates to the continental congress,
were essential factors in its ultimate
ratification. The other six, elected
members of congress later, neverthe
less took part in the general move
ment by signifying themselves in fa
vor of It, and were allowed to sign.
Thomas Jefferson, as the author of
the Declaration, attained a lasting
fame, as did John Hancock, president
of the continental congress.
All Bravely Did Their Share,
But of the men who stand outside of
that ring of immortality much can be
said. If Jefferson, Hancock and Lee
were generals, the others were at the
same time essential to the Declaration
They, as much as the others, affixed
their names to what was at that time
an extremely dangerous document.
They, as well as the others, burned
their bridges behind them and took
their stand firmly upon their convic
tion. It required the signatures of
recognized delegates from each of the
13 states to make the Declaration of
Independence complete.
If the veil of 138 years could be lift
ed and those days lived over again, it
would be interesting to see with what
emotions those men among men took
the stand for independence. It would
be Inspiring to hear the tone in which
each gave his answer when called
upon to vote for or asgainst the ratifi
cation of that which was to give this
country its freedom. But it would
have been even more dramatic to have
hovered near the desk on which the
Declaration lay and watched each man
as he came forward and affixed his
signature, a lasting testimonial to the
world, and Great Britain, especially,
of ths courage for and faith in the
new country these men were creating.
The precise hour of the day of the
adoption of the Declaration of Inde
pendence is not determinable from rec
ords. It is known, however, that con
gress entered upon direct considera
tion of the question on the first of
July, 1776, by voting to resolve itself
Into a committee of the whole to con
sider the resolution introduced by
Richard Henry Lee, and to refer the
draft of te Declaration to this com
mittee. It was Richard Henry Lee's
resolution that ran: "That these Uni
ted Colonies are, and of right ought to
be, free and Independent states."
Adopting the Resolution.
Benjamin Harrison of Virginia was
chosen chairman of the committee.
After a discussion lasting the entire
day the resolution was adopted. The
committee then resumed its standing
as a congress, and President Hancock
received Mr. Harrison's report. It was
then voted to postpone action on the
resolution until the following day.
This course of procedure was carried
out, and so the second of July is the
real Independence day. The resolution
adopted, congress again resolved it
self into a committee of the whole, "to
consider draft of a Declaration of In
dependence, or the form of announcing
the fact to the world." The considera
tion continued throughout the third
and fourth, it being on the evening of
the latter day that the committee
arose. President Hancock resumed
the chair, and Chairman Harrison re
ported that the draft had been agreed
upon. It was then adopted by con
gress. The draft was ordered on the 19th
of July to be engrossed, and on August
2 the engrossed copy was signed by
50 members. George Wythe signed
about August 27, Richard Henry Lee,
Elbridge Gerry and Oliver Wolcott in
September, Matthew Thornton the fol
lowing November, and Thomas Mc
Kean even later, probably in 17S1.
Such Is the account of the signing as
recognized in an official history of the
Declaration, despite the fact that, in
recording the happening of the Fourth
of July, Jefferson himself said: "The
Declaration was reported by the corn-

OLD WORLD BAKBtKS.
Their Prices Are Low and Methods In
Some Cases Are Crude.
The barber shops of the United
States and Canada are the finest In
the world and charge the highest
prices. Comparatively few cities of
Europe use American chairs, and many
of these run their barber shops In con
nection with men's furnishing stores.
In most European cities a hair cut
and shampoo cost 0 cents, and In
parts of London a shave costs 4 cents
In some Italian cities 1 cent is charged
for a shave and 2 cents for a hair cut.
and in Turkey barbers take their en
tire pay In tips
Many German barbers make wigs
and switches while waiting for cus
tomers, aud many French barbers do
ladies' hairdressing. Austrian barbers
:ire compelled to serve apprenticeships
of four years on pay beginning at 41
cents a week and ending at $1.02 a
week before they can own their shops
Syrian barbers seat their customers
In straight hacked chairs before tiny
wall mirrors and (is queer shaped pans
about their throats. Then they rub on
with their lingers lather made from
cheap soap
In India your barber calls at your
house and shaves you every morning
for $2 a month.
In China the barbers carry stools,
small tubs, razors and scissors about
the streets, stopping on the sidewalks
to perform their work, just as scissors

Some British Sinecures.
Gladstone was born nt a time when
sinecures such as those held by Horace
YValpole still abounded, and to the end
of his life he took a lenient view of the
persons who profited by them A. (i
C. Liddell records In his diary on
March 12. lSfl2: "Dined with the Cob
hams Mr Gladstone there
Some one alluded to the diminution of
sinecures Mr Gladstone said that
there was nothing dishonorable In ac
cepting n sinei-ure If It was recognized
by the society in which It existed and
not considered unusual or unworthy
One of the last sinecures, where there
was absolutely nothing to do, which
was not the case with all Rinecures,
was the office of chief justice in eyre,
north of the Trent It was held by
Tom Duncombe and was worth 12,000
per annum." London Spectator
Origin of Smoking.
The origin of the custom of smoking
Is veiled in mystery. The Chinese are
thought to have had the habit at a
very early date, and this is not sur
prising. Judging today from the China
man's fondness for the pipe. When
Columbus discovered America he found
Muoking indulged In by all the tribes
of Indians, but the practice had a re
ligious association to them. From San
to Domingo tobacco was intniducd Into
Spain and Portugal in l.Vi'J. but it was
then used In the shape of snuff. Sir
Walter Raleigh, however, is the first
man of note to make smoking a fash
ionable habit
An Apology.
"This is no place for such a petty
squabble." said the police court judge
'Now. Mulligan, you apologize to Ho
gan for calling him a liar and I'll dis
miss the case "
"All right Mishter Hogan, I apoly-
glze for radii)' ye callin' ye what ye

mittee, agreed to by the house, and
signed by every member present ex
cept Mr. Dickinson." The Journal giv
ing the record of the congress states
that it was "Signed by order and in
behalf of congress, John Hancock,
president. Attest: Charles Thomson,
secretary."
First Celebration.
The first celebration of the event
was Thursday, July 8, 1776, In the '
state house grounds, Philadelphia,
where every eye could gaze upon theltaRb Is graved on the brass tablet! that
bell that proclaimed liberty through- was put therein lsii.1:
out the world. The Declaration itself
was read to a large gathering of peo
ple by John Nixon. The king'B arms
were taken down in the courtroom in
the state house, and in the evening
there were bonfires and great dem
onstrations of joy.
In a letter John Adams wrote to
Samuel Chase on the ninth, he thus
describes the occasion. This letter is
now in the possession of the Massa
chusetts Historical society:
"You will see by this post that the
river Is past and the bridge cut away.
The Declaration was yesterday pub
lished and proclaimed from that awful
stage, in the state house yard, by
whom, do you think? By the commit
tee of safety, the committee of Inspec
tion and a great crowd of people.
Three cheers rended the welkin. The j
battalions paraded on the common and:
gave us the feu de Joy, notwithstand- j
Ing the scarcity cf powder. The bells:
rang all day, and almost all night, i
Even the chimers chimed away. j

king's courts were formerly held, and
burned amidst the acclamations of a !

MOODY REBELLED.
Moving a Vote of Thanks Was Not In
His Line That Night.
Dwight L. Moody during his first
visit to England attended a meeting at
which the Earl of Shaftesbury was
chairman. The duty of proposing a
vote of thanks was assigned to him
and the announcement made:
"Our American cousin, the Rev. Mr.
Moody of Chicago, will now move a
vote of thanks to the noble earl who
has presided on this occasion."
The whole thing was quite out of
Mr. Moody's line. With an utter dis
regard of conventionality he burst upon
the audience with the bold announce
ment: "The speaker has made two mis
takes. To begin with, I'm not the Rev.
Mr. Moody at all. I'm plain Dwight
L. Moody, a Sunday school worker.
And then I'm not your American
cousin. By the grace of God I'm your
brother, interested with you in our Fa
ther's work for his children,
"And now about this vote of thanks
to the 'noble earl for being our chair
man this evening.' 1 don't see why
we should thank him any more than
he should thank us. When at one time
they offered to thank our Mr. Lincoln
for presiding over a meeting In Illinois
he stopped it. He said he'd tried to do
his duty and they'd tried to do theirs
He thought it was about an even thing
all around "
i That opening fairly took the breath
I away from Mr Moody's hearers. Such
a talk could not be ganged by any

EVER SEE A PINK MONKEY?
This South American Brand Is Worse
Than the Other Kind.
If you should ever happen to be wan
dering about the Choco section of Co
lombia it would be well to have an
eye out for the sobbing monkey. If
this animal gets on your trail you
might as weil ring down the curtain
and put a period after yourself.
When it gets after the Colombian In
rlinns. according to H. G. Spurred, nat
uralist and member of the London
School of Tropical Medicine, the Indian
listens to tile beast's soul withering
sobs for three days and three nights
and then commits suicide.
Mr Spurred says that the sobbing
monkey is pink and is one of the most
rare animals in South America. For
reasons that have never been made
clear the sobbing moukey will at cer
Uiln times in the year leave Its home
in the most impenetrable wilderness
and go to the nearest Indian encamp
ment, where It will select Its victim
and follow him day and night, keeping
up a continual weeping and wailing.
According to tribal traditions this is
a sure sign that the victim will shortly
be taken with the sleeping sickness or
some other fatal disease. It has been
customary for the natives to listen to
the monkey's sobbing for three days
nnd three nights and then commit sui
cide. thus avoiding death by the dread
ed sickness. New York Mall.
MIND AND HEALTH.
Physical Conditions Often at the Mercy
of Mental Attitudes.
A scientist writes: "A woman fan
cied slie had swallowed a frog and
was rapidly sinking. The efforts of
physicians fai.lcJ to afford her relief
It occurred to some one that she might
be deluded im health A tiny frog
was caught anil put into a tube with
which they were attempting to wash
out her stomach. When the frog was
thrown out of the tube the girl ex
pressed relief and said she hoped they
were satisfied her complaints had a
real foundation In a short time she
was restored to health This is only
one of the Instances In. which the mind
has affected the physical condition.
"No one doubts that persons have
been frightened to death, and ridicule

A Lonesome Dtrrrkey.
One Rummer Mr (lakes, an eminent

received an urgent request from the
little girl to send her a pet donkey to
use while there She had read about
donkeys and heard abouf thm. but
was not nt all familiar with their pe

The donkey arrived, nnd the child
had many rides around the vicinity
She enjoyed it nil hugely, except the
animal's strange noHcs. which Inspired
her with the profotniilesr pity for his
evident distress
One day after vainly frying to sub

Use Yeur Ability and Take No Stoek
In tte Law of Chance.
Most uieu who have amounted to
anything started with nothing but
ability and determination, a combina
tion which recognizes do man made
limitations.
Any kind of work Is better than Idle
ness, which Is directly responsible for
most of the uubappiness in this world.
Idleness is a dangerous thing. It
may grow Into a habit that might stick
to you after you get back In harness,
and the man who loafs on bis job Is
only fooling himself.
Eternal, Intelligent effort Is the price
of commercial growth, and where there
Is no progression there is bound to be
retrogression. Business is something
like aeroplaning to stop Is to drop,
and to drop Is generally to bust
If I had an enemy and wanted to get
even with him I could wish him noth
ing worse than to land In a soft- Job
and get the loafing habit. It would
only be a question of time before he or
the job petered out. and the longer he
held on the worst off he'd be in the
end. for there is a law of compensa
tion which Romehow or other makes us
work In old age for the time we waste
in youth or suffer if we can't make
good.
Pin your faith to this law of com
pensation, but don't take any stock In
the law of chance; there's no such
thing. Waiting for something to turn
up in the belief that things are bound
to come your way eventually Is throw
ing dice with fate. Many a good dog
never got a decent bone until his teeth

He Was a Shy Man, Too, but Surprised
the Clever Amateur.
He was standing looking Idly round
him when I came forward to the
starting tee at Blackhill golf course,
a little dapper man, whom any one
would have guessed could not play for
nuts. Perhaps that latter Idea is what
caused me to ask if he meant to piny
a round. I should love to give some
body a proper whacking.
"I would like a round," he said, al
most shyly, "but, I have no clobs."
This was not a chance to be missed.
I would let him use mine. How pleas
ed be was in bis simple way. Any
old club would do for every shot
"Well, well," 1 crooned to myself; "If
the mna Is out for a thorough drub
bing I am the last to deny him It"
He took a dirty ball from his pocket,
made an easy sort of swipe at it and
I have never seen a ball so eager to
get t the hole as that one was. His
method of attack seemed to consist of
one or two Iron shots and a putt I
will vouch for It that he deliberately
allowed me to win a hole or two. I
have never felt so completely humiliat
ed In all my life, yet he was quiet In
offensive and almost shy.
"You are a brilliant golfer," I gush
ed as we made for the nineteenth bole.

are that it misses many a door, and la
