with well assumed horror. why
thought It was something like colic!"
Ever after this Mr.. Jefferson was
found upon all occasions to be bitterly
opposed to q monarchy in any form
whatever.
Mr. Jefferson was q poor orator,
though many people at this date put
him along with Patrick Henry, forget
ting that Jefferson was student and
not an orator. His greatest work was
with the pen and as an authority apon
all questions Of law and statesmanshlp.
Though Patrick Henry was 3 most eio'
ouent man, he left nothing TO be com
pared with the Declaration OF lndepend'
ence. There is q magnetism peculiar TO
the orator which is marvellous for the
moment, but IL perisheS with the voice
that awakened It.
Or the Fourth OF July, 1776, the dram
of the immortal Declaration OF Inde-
pendence was completed, aud In that
document will forever live the un-
ouenchable spirit OF the redheaded stu
dent, while the spontaneous but uncon'
sidered outburst OF Henry have dwindled
down TO q line and died away In the re-
mote corners Of the echoleSs past
Jefferson instituted the abolition OF
entail and primogenlture and did good
deal in the matter OF reconstruction al
ter the government fell into the haads
of "the rebels" He also encouraged re-
lleiouS freedom, and 10 him is due the
religious liberality which New England

relig ion, and II is said that he died
without the hope Of a literal hell for
those who disagreed with him.
Jefferson is also responsible largely
more than any other man, in factor

method or arranging money so that Il
may be rapidly computed. No one can
fully appreciate this until he has
labored with pounds, shll!ings, pence
aud farthings.

Mr.. Jefferson accepted the position Of
Minister to Paris. he was asked IL he
would replace franklin az that place.
No" said he. IL succeed him. No
one could replace him."

priest-ridden and little more than

as General Washington's Secretary OF
State, residing at 81 Maiden Lane, New
York City. He and Alexander HamiI-
ton were bitterly opposed to each other
on most political questions, Jefferson
sympathIzing with the French revolu-
tionists, while Aleck did not. Jetfer-
son was a plain republican, while Alock
was more OF az aristocrat, and ate pie
with q fork till the day OF his death.
In 1896 he was elected Vice Preside Mt
and In 1901 became President. He sue
ceeded himself and declined a third
term In order to retire to his beautiful
homo at Monticello, where he died on
the fiftieth anniversary OF the Declara-

fore the death OF his contemporary,
John Adams. He is buried at Month
