Safety of the PEOPLE.

A western representative in congress
tells a story of an Irishman in his dis
trict Of high financial standing In the
community by reason of his astute
business mind, but who had little or
no education.
As the Irishman had been a generous
contributor to the campaign fund one
year certain Of his colleagues on the
committee thought it would tickle
the old man" to pay him the compli-
ment of proposing his name for the
craftsmanship of such committee. They
little thought he would accept the hon.
or. but he did. When he had taken up
the gavel the Irishman made the fol
lowing speech:

1t was one OF the victims Of the
opium habit, a woman who had once
been a respected member Of a Chris
tan church and who was led astray
by her associations with Chinese in
Sunday school work, who wrote thus:
Every Chinaman tries to get his
teacher into some corner of the room
as far away from the other groups as
possible. The pupil is learning to read
from a primer. As the lesson goes ON
their chairs are moved until their faces
are SO close together the girl can feel
the breath of the Chinaman on her
cheek. Their glances meet many times

ways fastened ON her face. After that

ing place Of Jefferson in the graveyard
at Monticello. 1t was erected by COLI
gress.
The shaft Of the monument contains
the following simple but eloquent in
scfiption:
Here lies buried Thomas Jefferson, au-
thor of the Declaration OF American INDIE
pendence, OF the statute OF Virginia for
Religious Freedom and Father Of the
University of Virginia.
In a modest place upon the base of
the monument are the words:
BORN APRIL 2, 1743. o. S.
DIED JULY 4. 1896.
1t was at his stately Virginia home,
Monticello, that Jefferson passed away,
and the day, by a curious coincidence,
was just fifty years after the adoption
by the Continental congress of the res
olution which is generally ascribed to
his authorship. Though 1t has been
claimed that Thomas Paine had much
to do with the drafting Of the docu-
ment, 1t cannot be doubted that Jeffer-
son was the most potent factor in the
work Of wording the Declaration and
bringing 1t before congress in those
memorable days Of 1T76.
