the San Francisco peaks. 4.
These ancient volcanoes rise out OF

1000 feet above sea level. The peaks
are encircled with zones Of vegeta.

lines around them.
Between $500 and $500 feet the
yellow pine is the dominant tree.
From $500 to 10000 feet the Douglas

COLONY TO AID cITYs POOR

Two thousand acres near Kutman,
Ind, will be devoted to the Warren
Springer colonization scheme for poor
Chicago families with many children,
according to the statement of Mrs.
Margaret Springer, widow Of the mil
ionaire real estate man.
The colony will be laid out as Oscar
Lowell Triggs, formerly of the Univer-
sity of Chicago and now a member of
Katherine Tingley's Theosophist col
ony at Point Iona, CAL, devised with
Mr.. Springer years ago.
In the city a family of ten children
are liabilities, in the country they are
assets" said Mrs Springer, leaning
back in her chair with Russian furs
draped over her left shoulder.
!" Daddy Springer's idea was to boost
the poor who lead such miserable
lives in the congested parts of the city,
not to lay down the law to them as
to how they must act.
Il mentioned Oscar Lowell Triggs
because it was his idea in the first

terested in the following sketch OF the
career of the man who solved the
problem of providing seal for the
Government of the United States:
Charles Thomson was born at Ma
ghera, Ireland, November 20, 1928, and
came to America with his three elder
brothers in 1741. They landed at
New Castle, Delaware, with no other
dependence than their industry.
Thomson was educated by Doctor Al
lison, the tutor of several of the
signers of the Declaration of indie
pendence. He had great passion
for reading and when yet a young
man he had cleaned sufficient knowl-
edge to be counted among the "Hter1.
He was afterwards teacher in the
Friends academy, at New Castle, Del
aware. From thence he went to
Philadelphia, where he became &C
quainted with and obtained advice
from Benjamin Franklin; he soon be-
came the intimate friend of the
learned Philadelphiana and their
friendship seemed to increase daily.
In 1772 he served as negotiator with
the Iroquois and Delaware Indians,
and his good, conscientious work
among the natives brought for him
the worthy nickname. "Truthteller,
by which name the Indians always
after called him. He was a man of rare
abilities and had the peculiar requi
sites to make and keep friends where
ever he happened to wander. He was
called to the responsible duty of keep
ing minutes of the proceedings of the
first Continental Congress in 1774, and
from that time until he resigned his
ONCE In 17S9-then f1fty-nine years old
he was the secretary Of that dignt
fed and important body.
John Adams called him the Sam
Adams of Philadelphia, the life of thu
cause of liberty" This certainly was
compliment, coming as it did from
tried and honest patriot Thomson. II
IL true, made most diligent secre-
tary. and in that position he had the
rare pleasure Of taking notes Of all
the important congressional actionA
For the 1irst years work he received
no pay. He served as permanent SEQ
Rotary during the eventful fifteen
years that followed. His seal was az
cepted officially on June 20, 1882.

ranged by Jefferson, based on the COM
pilation of Huguenot named Du
Simitier, be reported to Congress on
August 10, 1776. The design in ques-
ton was quite elaborate and Indicated
fundamental knowledge of the laws
of heraldry, besides containing primal
symbolic language, and one impor-
tant element which appealed strongly
to the Irish pride of race The pro-
posed shield carried an emblem to
represent the six great nationalities
taking part in the war for independ-
ence, or those who populated the col
onies and were earnest in the fight
for American freedom. Thus, for Eng
land appeared a rose. for Scotland
thistle, for Ireland harp, for France
a fuer-de-lys, for Germany a black
eagle, and for the Netherlands lion.
Du Simitier, who was the heraldic art
list, placed Ireland third in this inn
portant subdivision of that proposed
shield for the Union, and it is inter
esting to note the reasons set forth
for this recognition of the patriotism
of the colonial inhabitants who came
here from Ireland:
The third Quartering, green. with
harp of gold. was to be the respected
symbol of ireland, and was placed
upon the shield as q token to the Irish
patriots who took an active part in the
war for independence; in fact, having
brought over with them a spirit of dis
like and revenge against England.

discovered by their unskillfulness in
playing of the harp"
That the heraldic device of which
Du Simitier was the author pleased
his critics is proved by the fact that
Franklin at once withdrew his design,
Adams abandoned his and Jefferson
relegated his diagram to oblivion in
favor of the compilation offered by the
French expert Also there were other
designs placed in evidence by distin-
guished colonists. Among them was
an emblem of Ireland, Harp" with
