The Bird of Freedom.

The American Eagle voiced his sen- timents on the 4th of July, 1776, in the great and only Declaration of Inde- pendenee, but he did not take shape for several weeks after that day. Immedi- ately after the declaration had been read to the Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia at that time, resolution was passed creating Benja- min Franklin, John Adams and Thom- as Jefferson, all well-known gentle men, to be a committee to prepare a seal of the United States. On the 10th day of August they reported, bringing in a combination consisting principally of a Goddess of Liberty, a Goddess of Justice, and an Eye of Providence with 8 very small and insignificant eagle in one corner of the device. Incidentally also on the device was the legend, 'E Pluribus Unum." Although the eagle at this time was not much of bird, l. still seemed to the Colonial Congress men that something was wrong with the report of the committee, and the seal had such bad effect that the re- port was laid on the table, where it stayed until 1779. In March of that year 1t took a fresh start with a new committee, but nothing was done until 1781, when among several designs sub- mitted was one from William Barton of Philadelphia, who made the eagle prominent, and described the bird as emblematic of sovereignty. Another design was furnished by Charles Tom. son, secretary of Congress, and the last design, and the one finally adopted, was endorsed "Mr. Barton's improve ments on the secretary's device" which made some changes in MT. Tomson's designs, and this was adopt ed June 20, 1782, at which time the great American Eagle made it's first and genuine appearance in the history of the great republic he is under a per. retual engagement to scream for.

crown Prince ot Slam

The Crown Prince of Siam is among the boy authors of tue world; he has written several stories for English chil- dren's magazines, and can write fluent. Iy in three European languages.
 There was a red flag out in front of farm house up in the Swift River region in Oxford the other day when Burns was driving past the place. He can never get by an auction sale. There is something about bargain at vendue that strikes him just where he lives. So Burns hitched his horse and stopped on the outskirts of the crowd. He re- membered that at the last auction he attended, he bought two pod augers and an OK yoke, and this time he steel ed himself lest he might commit sim- liar egregiousness. In fact he conclud- ed that he would't bid at all.
 But when the crowd got well walked up over Jersey heifer, Burns clipped in bid or two, and finally got to going hard against red-whiskered man who carried whip in his left hand and ex- pectorated violently after every bid.
 As the contest waxed somewhat en- ergetie, Burns reached for his pocket book. His fingers ran down and down into his trousers pocket until they slid into a good big hole. The pocketbook was gone. You, who have found holes in your pockets where wallets ought to be, can. in some measure, appreciate Burnss feelings.
 He stopped bidding, and while the red-whiskered man, still expectorating, was paying down an installment on the heifer, Burns pushed forward through the crowd and got the auctioneer's ear. That funetionary listened intently. Then he arose erect once more, and in his professional drone commenced:
 This gentleman informs me that he has lost pocketbook containing the sum of S200 He offers the sum of SIG for it's return. Now"
 I'll give twenty" broke in voice in the corner.
 Thirty" cried another.
 "Thirty-fiye," came in determined tones from the red-whiskered man.
 That was beyond what I could af- ford" says Burns, and so came away and left them bidding on it.

American Women.

Women are keenly competing with men in art and professional life in America, as is shown by recent statis- ties. In the United States there are 1000 actresses and 35,000 women vocal ists and instrumentalists; 11,000 are professional artists, 89O journalists and 2,S00 who are engaged in literary work of one kind or another. The number of women who are dramatic authors or theatrical managers is 6o6

Of this broad headed layer are found directly
superposed upon that stratum geooglcally
