They Played Big Part In Fixing the
Fourth OF July.
Jefferson was fond Of telling a
story which illustrates in q forceable
manner the Importance that absurdly
Insignificant matters may sometimes
assume. When the deliberative body
that gave to the world the Declare
ton of Ind ependence was in session
its proceedings were conducted in a
hall close to which was situated liv-
sry stable. The weather was warm,
and from the stable came swarms of
dies that lighted on the legs of the
honorable members, and, biting
through the silk stockings then in
fashion, gave infinite annoyance. 1t
was no uncommon sight, said Jeffer-
son, to see member making a speech
with a large handkerchief in hand
and pausing at every moment to
thrash the flies from his thinly pro-
tected calves
The opinion of the body was not
unanimous in favor of the document,
and, under other circumstances, dis
cussion might have been protracted
for days, if not weeks, but the flies
were intolerab1e. Efforts were made
to find another hall free from the
pests, but in vain. AS the weather
became warmer the flies grew worse,
and the Tapping of handkerchiefs
was heard all over the hall as an ac-
compartment to the voices Of the
speakers In despair. at last some
one suggested that matters be hur-
ried SO that the body might adjourn
and get away from the flies. There
were few mild protests, but no one
needed them, the immortal declara-
ton was hurriedly copied, and, with
handkerehiefs in hand fighting flies
as they came, the members fastened
up to the table to sign the authentic
copy and leave the flies in the lurch.
Had it not been for the livery sta Bile
and its contents there is no telling
when the document would have been
completed, but it certainly would not
have been signed on the Fourth.

fetal TO All fall crops and grasses and
