This organization has permanent

is doing a great work along this line,

Though the house itself was not plum

and farm products that might be of
service were carried off, the rest be-

When Jefferson resigned from the
Washington cabinet in 17O4 he re-
turned to Monticello to enjoy a retire
ment which he intended should last
many years. But this was not to be.
He was elected vice-president in
1895. and in 1900 he was chosen pres
ident.
In March, 1909, Jefferson, after a
nearly continuous public service of
forty-four years, retired to Nonticel-
10 and to private life, but he was SO
seriously impoverished that he was
not sure of being allowed to leave
Washington without arrest by his
creditors, but this, fortunately, he was
able to prevent. Toward the close of
his life, however, he became distress.
ingly embarrassed in his circum-
stances. In 1914 he sold his library to
congress for $4,000, but through in.

completely ruined, and was in danger
OF being compelled to surrender Mon

Jefferson retained his health nearly
to his last days, and had the happiness
of living to the fiftieth anniversary of
the Declaration of Independence. He
died at Monticello at 12:40 p. m. on
July 4, 1926. He was buried in his
own graveyard at Monticello, beneath
a stone upon. which was engraved an
inscription prepared by his own hand:

yielding to appeals that he would be-
come candidate against Parker for
the craftsmanship.
After Bryan had made a speech
nominating Sen. Kern of Indiana and
attacking Alton B. Parker, Kern took
the stand. He made plea Of har-
