why Franel,n DID Not write 1t.

Why Frnnklin Did Not Write 1t.
at has always been curious puzzle
why Franklin, the man of ripe age, of
commanding distinction and of approv-
ed literary skill, was not selected to
as Jefferson, then only 33 years old and
comparatively unknown" says John
Gilmer Speed in The Saturday Even
ing Post. 1T could not be that Frank
lin was passed by because he had done
everything in his power to avert the
war and reconcile the differences be-
tween the colonies and the mother
country, for all wise men in the colo
MES did all that honor permitted In
that direction until the die was cast.
No; 1t was not fear of Franklin's ear
nestness in the cause of the colonies,
1t was probably. the fear OF Franklin's
humor
"He was not only the greatest man
of his time, hut he was one of the
greatest humorists of any time. And
so his associates We're possibly afraid
that he would put joke in the Decla-
ration and passed him by and selected
the lank young Virginan with the free
kled face.
"As IT. was, Franklin did have his
Joke. for when the members of con-
gress were about to sign the Declara-
tion Hancock, whose earnestness is ex-
pressed In the bold signature which
comes first said In his own earnest
way: We must be unanimous. There
must be no pulling different ways. We
must all hang together.'
Eyes replied Franklin; we must
hang together or we shall be pretty
sure TO hang separately.

Harder 10 Say no Thnn Yes. - l
He was most worthy young man,
with fondness for discussing socio.
logica and moral questions, and once
started on his hobby he could scarcely
be headed in any other direction. He
had been quite devoted in his attention
to one young woman for as much as
six months, but she had been unable to
bring him to his senses, though she
was willing to confess that she had
tried repeatedly to do so. OF course
she had done it in the delicate ways
women have in those matters bet
what he needed was club.
Not great while ago he was calling
as usual, and as usual he was neglect
ing sentiment for something that only
made II girl tired. This time he was
morallzing on the temptations of life
and the proneness of people to yield
without making the proper effort
against them In whatever form they
might appear.
However" he said in conclusion,
displaying commendable spirit of
charity for the weak. at is very diff
cult thing for any one to say NO"
Here was an unexpected chance for
her.
And conversely" she responded
slowly so he could get the full force Of
1t, ut should be very easy for one to
say'Yes.'"
He looked her straight In the eyes at
last, and a hush fell upon the scene.
"Um-er.um," he hcsitoted, Miss
Kate, am chump"
at is very difficult for one TO say
NO." she said with n pretty little
smile, and later she found 1t quite easy
to say Eyes. Washington Star.

A clever nina Man.


The New Orleans Times Democrat
tells of blind man In southern city
who goes to the postoffice every day
carrying a small, light riding whip,
which he holds slightly inclined to the
front, with the tip just touching the
pavement. His sense of touch has he
come so delicate that the whip is al
most an artificial eye. When the point
encounters anything, he makes few
swift passes over the surface and gen.
orally determines the exact character
of the obstacle. 1t Is done so quickly
aud deftly as to attract no attention,
and few passers have the least suspj-
cion Of the old mans infirmity. When
he reaches the postosice, he turns un-
hesitatingly, mounts the middle stairs.

out any feeling around thrusts key
