the captain was the great mogul aboard

to the affairs Of the ship he held nloof

ton Of the unwritten rules Of the sea
for passenger to ask the captain any
thing. And there may DO some reason
in all this; IL one passenger might ask
him, 40 might. and surely the command
er Of the ship ought not to be unneces-
sarily disturbed by useless questions
We bad been lying there three or four
hours waiting. There was no danger
whatever. but it was delay and an in

passengers talked about nothing else
the common information was that the
delay was due to a heated bearing.

came along the upper deck from the

he had wounded the deer and the dog

Ker: an - Steele Safe.

The Constitution OF the United
States - the original pen. written
Constitution be it remembered.-ha
been dragged from it's place of con-
cealment in the State Department to
be photographed. 1t has been decid-
ed to send fac-simile of it to the At
lanta Exposition. OF course, the At
lanta Exposition would rather have
had the original, but this could not
be entertained.
The Constitution is kept in a steel
safe in the Library of the State De-
partment. The safe, quite a pretty
affair, IN gray and gold, is passive and
strong. A combination lock protects
it's priceless contents, and the combi-
nation is carefully kept by one or two
officials. Yesterday, however, the
steel doors were swung open in order
to allow a reporter to look upon the
sacred pages. No document in the
world has been 80 fraught with des-
tiny as this very same Constitution.
1t is to day the foundation Of the
Government. To see it as it came
from the pen of the engrosser on the
18th day of September, 1887, is a
sight worth travelling a thousand miles
to witness.
AS is we'll known, there are i'll the
State Department two copies of the
Declaration of Independence-one Of
the official and engrossed document,
and the other the original draft in the
hand writing OF Thomas Jefferson,
with all the erasures and alterations
that were made before the language
was finally agreed upon. In the case
of the Constitution there is only one
copy--the final engrossment with the
signatures duly attached. AS thus
preserved, it consists Of four large
sheets of parchment, each twenty-five
by twenty-eight inches, with the
words written out in the old-fashion-
ed chirography of century ago, and
the curious capitalization of letters
then in vogue. The first three words,
ave the people" are engrossed in
very large black letters, so that they
stand out in bold relief On the last
page are the signatures of the depu-
ties from the various States, begin.
ming with the familiar autograph of
George Washington, who signed him
self as president and Deputy from
Virginia" Many of the names are
closely associated with the early his
tory of the Republic - Alexander
Hamilton, Rufus King, Gouveneur
Morris, B. Franklin, Daniel Carroll
and Roger Sherman being among
the number.
The Constitution is a most excel
lently preserved document. The ink
has faded little, but not sufficient to
detract from legibility or appearance.
The autographs are especially clear.
This might have been the case also
with the Declaration of Independence,
but it so happened that when a fac
smile of that paper was attempted in
1924 irreparable harm was done to it
through carelessness and ignorance.
In the case of the Constitution the
almost care has been observed, and
40 injury has resulted.
