Irishmen who Signed the Declaration of
 Independence.
JOHN DUNLAP. Tenth Article.

Captain John Dunlap, native of Strabane; County Tyrone, member of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of Philadelphia, and of the famous First Troop of Cavalry, of that city, who published the first daily paper issued in the United States, held the position of printer to Congress and was the first who printed the Declaration.
 An Irishman, Charles Thompson, first prepared this immortal document for publication from the draft of Jeffer- son; the son of an Irishman, Colonel Nixon, had the honor of first publicly reading it to the people from the State House; and another Irishman, Captain Dunlap, first printed and published it to the world. It may be added that Alderman John Binns, of Philadelphia, a native of Dublin and a United lrish- man, in 1915, published the Declara- ton with fac-similes autographs of the signers, at his own expense, for the first time, and received the thanks of John Quincy Adams, Lafayette, and other eminent men, for his patriotic and valuable work.

Poets" tJohnson's last important work is collection of biographies of very great merit. In every way he was a great literary parsonage. The stamp of Lis powerful handicraft per vades our literature in every part. "But,p as Macaulay says, "though the celebrity Of the writings may have de- clined, the celebrity of the writer, strange to say, is as great as ever. The memory of other authors is kept alive by their works. But the memory of Johnson keeps many of his works alive. The old philosopher is still among us in the brown coat with the metal buttons, and the shirt that ought to be at the wash, blinking, pufiing, rolling his head, drumming with his fingers, tearing his meat like tiger, and swallowing his tea in oceans"
 A great celebration of Johnson's an- niverssry was held at Lichfield, Eng land, attended by thousands of his own countrymen and many American travellers. His memory is cherished as that of great and a good man.

Samuel Johnson.
JOHN PHILo TRowBRIDaB.

On September Is, i709, Samuel Johnson WAS born in Lichiield, Eng land, in house which is yet standing. and in front of which his statue is now erected. The town itself dates far back into the old Norman days, and In it's ancient cathedral, which, till the be- ginning of the thirteenth century, pre- ceded the present one-of noted beauty, Saint Chad, one of the most lovable characters of English church history, was consecrAted to his holy office. Here, also, In later years, were edu- cated, in the King Edwards grammar school, Elias Ashmolc, the founder at Oxford, of the first public museum of curiosities in the kingdon-Jeseph Ad- dison, the distinguished author--and David Garrick, the greatest actor Of his age and the most successful of Eng fish theatrical managers.
 Johnson's father was for many years bookseller of great repute in the town and among the clergy and magis. traites of the surrounding counties. l He WAS so we'll acquainted with the l volumes of solid reading which crowd ed his shelves that he was usually re- garded as an unfailing oracle on ali points of learning. Many of the fore most citizens of the place resorted To him for advice; and 1t WAS owing to | {nn 4 tp tsh af l mosphere in which he was reared, that Samuel Johnson, while yet a mere child, was started on his illustri- ous career, He had every obstacle, goal of success was reached-sickness, melancholy, poverty, and lack of early patronage. Heiwa sometimes heard to say, in later life, that he could fainlly remember being taken to a l stately palace, sud ef seeing most gracious lady with jewels about her neck who kindly put her hand upon his childish head. lie did not then, os course, understand the reason of the singular act. It as Queen Anne whe had touched him, in compliance with an old superstition of ihe land, to cure the kings evil--a disease which he had inherited through the blood of his ancestors. The royal touch, however, was unavailing, and to his dying day ed malady. Boswell, his inimitahle hiographer. once said that, perhaps, it would have been wiser If Johnson 's mother had presented her child for healing to genuine heir of the Stuarts in Rome and not at London.
 This disease deeply disfigured the features of Johnson face while he was yet in boyhood's natural bloom, other wise his coantenance was noble and singalariy impressive, hts form WAS massive, aud his physical strength prodigious. FearlesNness was also a 1 market characteristic of his nature, and only formidable foe could safely taken up a chair al the theatre one l evening upon which a man had seated himself daring his own temporary ae- sencc, and la have thrown 1t and it's frightened occupant together into the pii below. Mithal, he was very whimsical individual; and there is no end of stories regarding his odd per formanees. Perhaps the most interest .a.. n. when he was past middle life. It took place unexpectedly in the pres enee of his friend Langtan, who Is the narrator of the event. They had as eendea to the sop os high and pre- cipigous hill, and while resting there, Johnson exclaimed, VI have not had 2

 4 Born Leader

A stirring story of leadership comes from that part Of Turkey which has suffered most from the recent massa- cres. The situation seemed perfectly hopeless. Thousands still have 10 be fed from charitable funds, and are wearing the clothing they had on when they fled from fire and sword last April. Muititudes still sleep on the ground, with scarcely any cover ing, and winter k close at hand. Nearly ti0, 900 have been expended in buying tools to set artisans at work again. but the applications are endless. An American Board missionary, Rev.
 W. N. Chambers, has been placed at the head of the relief work as the sue cessor of Major Doughty-Wylie. Writ ing from Adana he says: "At this mo ment, In the early morning, there are about 800 men in our yard waiting in the hope that their names may get in- to the list for money for tools. It is pathetically pitiable to see able-bodied men. formerly prosperous, break down sobbing when told that their names cannot appear" The discouraging
 feature was that the local government did virtually nothing, and the people
 were fast sinking into despair.
 Al this point mastefful young Fur- kish officer, less than forty years old,
 appeared on the scene and the whole situation was changed. He arrived al
 Adana, and within twenty.fouf hours
 had government relief work reorgan-
 ized on radical lines. Ky Monday he
 had inaugutaled The only effective re- const ruction movement set in motion
 since the terrible month of April. He
 fairly tram pied on a few strong preJu-
 dices. He organized Relief Commis- sien ol 2s persons, only three of whom besides himself were Moslems, and six of whom were foreigners. With this commission he made afrangem ents fol the administration oi over ssoo, ,ooo and secured it's honest and effective han ding by making the lmperialottoman Bank the custodian of the money with a financial eemmitteei composed o
 him self and two foreigners.
 All this was like a cooling, ,life-eiNine
 breeze from the sea to thirsty souls or the seorehing sands. Hope revived and confidence grow apaee. Wtti l marvellous instinct this man k gather | ing about himself men of serious mind | both Moslems and Christians, ,sand uni ting them Iii common cause. Nil 1 Chambers ssys of him. "iie is th, first Turkish official have met ir thirty years of service in this country | with whom ind il aireal pleasure IL | work. Taking him as represents tive of the Macedonian Young Turk
