there is but one benefit to come fro
making round shocks and cappin
them. This is that it keeps the hot sur
off the heads and thus does not bleach
out the wheat as badly as where all the
heads are exposed to the hot sun. In

YEARNINe FOR HOME.

1t comes to me often in silence,
When the freight sputters low
When the black, uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths of the long ago:
Always with a throb of heartache
That thrills each pulsive vein
Comes the old, unquiet longing
For the peace of home again.
I'm sick of the roar of the cities,
And of faces cold and strange;
/ know where there's warmth of vel
come
And my yearning fancieS range
Back to the dear old honest cad
With an aching sense of pain;
But there'll be JOY in. the coming,
When go home again.
When I go home againl There's music
That never may die away,
And it seems the hands of angels,
On mystic harp at play,
Have touched with a yearning sadness
On beautiful. broken strain,
To which is my fond heart wording :
When / go home again.
Outside of my darkening window
Is the great worlds crash and din
And slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting, drifting in.
Sobbing, the night wind murmurs
To the splash of the autumn rain.
But | dream Of the glorious greeting
When | go home again.

sired me to do it. It was accordingly

tences and certain alterations he may
have actually originated, but as to the
main body Of the document it can be
said as it was said of old: 1.-THE hand
L +ha hand of Esau but the voice Is
the voice of jacob The hand Is the
hand Of Jefferson, but the voice Is the
voice Of Thomas Paine.
The fact that Paine never claimed
the authorship is in perfect keeping
with his character. He was ever a
most secretive man. Most Of his works
at this stage In his career were anony-
nous. Common Sense" was published
anonymously, and "The Crisis practi-
cally so. His contributions to the Penn
sylvania Magazine were signed by fic-
titious names and initials. Many let
ters he Is known to have written and
others that are believed to be his he
never acknowledged to the time of his
death.
Moreover, to have made this claim
in relation to the Declaration Of In
dependence would have embarrassed
his friend, Jefferson, which, both for
personal and political reasons, he would
have been unwilling to do.

Jund in the Declara-
tion Of Independence. His theories as
to equality, as to the rights Of man and
as to the right Of rebellion not only in
this particular instance. but generally,
are all stated in that instrument. Not
only so, but the methods of expression
are startlingly like those In his publish
ed works. The style Is not the schol-
arly, easy and pleasing one of Jeffer-
son, but the terse, epigrammatic. force
full one of Paine
The manner of piling up the indict-
ments against the king. charge upon
charge, until they became very noun
tain of evidence, Is the well known
method Of Paine, not that Of Jefferson.
The employment Of certain words in
peculiar ways, such as decent, "
'equal," rights" happiness" and
many more found in the document, Is
significant, for these were stock words
with Paine, and he used them in just
the ways they were used here. The
reference to mature and natures God"
is in perfect keeping with Paines well
known deistical notions and startlingly
calls to mind his eloquent ap0strophe
to the revelation of God found in ma
ture. There are three references to the
Creator in the Declaration, and they
are all very like Paine, who through
out his political works is constantly
making similar utterances. Jefferson,
while a deist also, hardly ever makes
mention of God in his political writ
ings.
Most of the above considerations are
urged by Denslow and Burr. but there
is one little piece Of evidence that SEEM
ingly has escaped these authors which
to the writer seems the most conclusive
of all. 1t is the use Of the word hath, !"
which occurs in the preamble Of the
document. Scholarly Jefferson in all
his writings is never known to have
employed this archaic verb ending.
while Thomas Paine used 1t frequent
" and IN just such connection as it
is found in here. That may seem a
small thing. but it is just such clew
as detective selects TO work out a
case. 1t is like the bone of prehis-
toric monster from which the scientist
constructs the entire skeleton.
The most probable theory of the writ
ing OF. this most famous of political
manifestoes is as follows: After the
publication of Common Sense" which
had fred the colonies for separation.
Paine urged the step IN season and out
Of season. What more natural than
that he should have framed a paper
that could be adopted bT congress as
its reasons for independence3 After
writing such paper he would naturally
read it to some Of bis cronies Two Of
his most familiar friends were letfer
son and Franklin. When these two
were appointed on the committee, what
more probable than that they should
have gone to Paine to get his draft.
Using this as basis, Jefferson could
have written the copy presented to con-
gress. Some words he would doubtless
change. Probably he would frame in
trodpctory and closing sentences. This
theory would be IN keeping with JET
ferson's own utteranees on the subject

first reference to the matter. Then be

Scotch, baving expressed that dislike
in bis writings and private conversa-
tions. Nor is this the only or even the
most conclusive evidence connected
with this passage. Jefferson In later
years in writing of it showed that he
was net sufficiently familiar with this
first draft OF the Declaration to quote 1t
correctly, for he gave 1t, "Scotch and
other foreign auxiliaries." Is it proba-
BILE If he had been the author of it that
he would have made the mistake of In
jecting the word 'other' and misquot-
ing "auxiliaries" for "mercenaries 2"
The very injection Of ''othern Is sig
nifcant. for Jefferson, having been
born in Virginia, would naturally look
on the Scotch as foreign and would
therefore say Scotch and other for
eign," etc, but the author Of that pas
sage In the original Declaration evident
" had another viewpoint, for he said
Scotch and foreign mercenaries," in
dicating that he did not think Of the
Scotch as foreigners. Now, Paine was
an Englishman, and whatever his
prejudice against the Scotch might
have been, prejudice somewhat com
mon among Englishmen of that day,
he would not regard them as foreign
ers, Scotland and England being united
In common government.
Another passage in the original Dec
laration Of Independence censured
King George for introducing the slave
trade into the colonies, asserting that
this traffic, which had been the re-
proach Of sinfdep' countries, was thus
condoned by "a Christian king" This
passage was likewise expurgated by
congress, as It gave ofrense to some Of
the southern members. Now, while
Jefferson in later life deplored the ex-
istence'of slavery. it is hardly possible
that at this time he would have inject
ed such language into state paper.
Nor is it likely that he would have
made the yelled thrust at Christianity
contained in the sarcastic reference to
"a Christian king" That was not JEFF
ferson's style. But 1t was Paine's style.
Also the sentiments are his. Already
In the Pennsylvania Magazine he had
written against slavery. Jefferson, not
withstanding his advanced notions,
was not without policy, and there Is
no policy in this paragraph. But Paine
spoke his mind regardless Of policy.
One of the most surprising things
about the Declaration Of Independence
is that it makes but slight reference
to the subject Of taxation. despite the
fact that the first troubles between the
coIonists and the mother country had
been over the stamp act and mo tax
alton without representation" had be-
come the American rallying cry. JEFF
ferson had no peculiar bias that
would have caused him to make SO not
able an omission, but Paine had. He
regarded the taxation issue as trivial
and as being too mercenary to be
worthy Of SO much attention. These
sentiments are freely expressed In his
writings. Liberty and independence
were the great shibboIeths with him.
and these are always the kaynotes
sounded IN the Declaration. Moreover,
the ideas throughout the document are

~ YER since the Revolution there
zsmv has been tradition In certain
~ parts Of the country that the
real author of the Declaration
of independence was Thomas Paine.
The storm Of opprobrium that beat up
on Paine's name because of his reli-
gious writings almost eradicated this
tradition.
But now that there is a marked
tendency to do justice to his unques-
toned services to liberty the legend
has revived. 1t should be said in the
outset that with the religious contro-
versy concerning Paine this article has
nothing to do His writings on that
subject did not appear till near the
end of his life. All the most active
years Of his manhood were spent In
the domain Of politics, and the politi-
cal works Of which he was the author
are much more numerous and volumi-
nous than those on theology. It Is be-
yond question that he wrought power
fully for the rights Of man not only in
America, but in France and England;
that he rislzed Imprisonment and even
life In doing so and that the American
sense Of justice and fair play can be
trusted to give recognition to these
services on their own merit. Passing
all that by, the inquiry into the au-
thorship of the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence is of sufficient interest to
warrant dispassionate investigation.
Reverting to the tradition connecting
Paine with that document, it is Sig
nifcant fact that a newspaper Of New
ark, N. j., nearly century ago threat
ened to divulge the name OF the real
author Of the Declaration and there
er and used other terms In describing
him that could have referred to no one
else than Paine. A further fact of in
terest is that the friendship between
Paine and Jefferson continued unbro-
ken to the end. jefferson sending q
warship to bring Paine to this country.
Another fact that may have some bear
ing on the matter is that Jefferson
never claimed to be the author of the
document until near the end Of his
life, which was years after Paine's
death. and even then In slightly ann
bIguous terms, which are capable Of
an Interpretation that will be brought
out later.
The evidence on which the claim OF
Paine's authorship rests Is internal,
however, and must be found In the
document itself. Several pamphlets
and books have been written on the
subject In the last thirty years. Prom

/ the Paine theory may be mentioned
William Henry Burr and Van Buren
Denslow, students and authors Of rec

occurred the words, scotch and for

members Of the Continental congress

SO strongly that the words Scotch
