On August 2, 1776, just month after the real

he had been accused of his perfdy on the floor

challenged proof. 1t had been the furnishing Of
this proof that had caused his fight. Congress

BY the time both members reached Georgia how.

the people, and had taken refuge in an armed
British vessel lying in Savannah harbor Thus
Zubly's treachery came to naught but it cheated
Houston out of his opportunity to sign the Decla-
ration, and left Georgia with only three instead Of
five signers. Why Houston did not sign with
the other tardy members is not discussed in the
history, but his name should be as endeared to
the hearts of Americans as any of the actual
sgners. Zuby, by the way after being banished

The Sage of Monticello

1.-THE Sage of Monticello" is the nickname that
was applied to Thomas Jefferson for the same
reason and in much the same manner as Daniel
Webster was given the title THE Sage OF Marsh
field" Jefferson the title Of sage" for the
many glorious truths he uttered, and as Webster
loved every inch of the ground of the beautiful
Cape Cod village of Marshfield, and its calm
scenery he believed gave him just such inspira-
ton as he needed so at Monticello Jefferson's
Virginia estate, the great statesman found the
most delightful retreat from his labors and the
essence of contentment, which inspired him to
larger, greater and more beneficial things for the
betterment Of his country.
Jefferson was born at Shadwell, the homestead
of the family, near Charlottesville Va. When
that estate was destroyed by fire in ITO, along
with its furniture, books and his law papers, he
sought out another location which was even more
attractive to him About two miles from the
Shadwell house was hill named by Jefferson,
Monticello Qlttle mount This eminence com.
manded a view Of surprising beauty and he chose
this place as the site for mansion that should
embody his ideas of architecture-an art upon
which he expended much thought and In which
he was more than an amateur. After the fire the
building of new house upon his little mount"
pushed rapidly and in something more than
a year a section made ready for occupancy
In 1872 Jefferson married and brought to his
new mansion Martha Shelton, a childless widow
Mrs. Maria Conway Jefferson, referring to his
home, said: "And our own dear Monticello,
where has nature spread rich mantle under
the eye? Mountains, forests, rocks rivers With
what majesty do we there ride above the storms
How sublime to look down into the workhouse
OF nature, to see her clouds, hail, snow, rain,
thunder, all fabricated at our feet! And the
glorious sun when rising as II out of a distant
water just gliding the tops of the mountains and
giving life to all nature"
Jeffersons public life began in 1869, when he
took his seat as member of the Virginia house
of burgesses. He was twenty-six years of age at
the time. This was only little more than two
years previous to his occupancy of Monticello
which The called his home during the remainder
of his life.
Therefore all the great things in the life of
this great American were centered about this
little mount" and next to the home of Wash.
ington at Mount Vernon, the home OF Jefferson 1t
Monticello both in the same state is one of the
great American shrines.

"CoP" GOT REAL GRIZZLY HUG
Cinnamon Bear Embraces Policeman
In RIdgefeId Park, Hacken-
sack, N. J.

Eyackensack, N. J.-Policeman Will
lam Grassow, of Ridgefield Park, had
the fright of his life when he encoun-
tered an Italian with big cinnamon
bear on Ridgefeld avenue.
Bruin was up on a telegraph pole
doing stunt, for which his master
received ten. cents, when the officer
hove in sight and asked the man for
his license. While the policeman's
attention was diverted the bear came
down the pole, rushed on Grassow and
gave him the grizzly hug.
The officers uniform was nearly
torn from his back and his face was
scratched in many places, He called
for help, and Patrolman Cole arrived
on the scene in time to see Grassow
extricate himself from the bunny
hug" by a supreme effort.
The Snowman had tried in vain to
make the bear release his hold on the
officer. When bruin did so both bear
and man beat hasty retreat across
the river to Little Ferry. The police
man started to follow but the bear
looked back at him and growled. Con-
sequently no arrests were made.

Finds of importance were made else
where. In large cemetery at Tarkah
were discovered a number Of tombs,
about 900 in all, the earliest being
prior to the age of Menes and the
founding of Memphis, about B. G. 5000,
while the cemetery seems to have
been used as a place of burial until
Roman times. The preservation Of
the tombs and their contents was re-
markable.
Linen Of the pre-Mena age was as
clean and fresh as if it had just come
from the loom. The collins, many of
them made in the form of houses of
the period, were excellent in preserva-
ton. Very interesting was the dis
covery Of a number of basket or wick
erwork collins, curious forerunner of
the earth-to-earth burial movement of
the present day. Many beautiful bas-
kets and examples Of plaitings were
discovered.
The collection will be exhibited in
London in about a months time.

MADE FROM AN OLD MIRROR
Artistic and Useful Tray for the Din
Ing Room With Handsome Ma
hogany Frame.

A tray that is a marvel for artistic
beauty and usefulness in the dining
room consists Of mahogany frame 10
x25 inches The tray was once the
frame of an old-fashioned mirror. The
frame and glass were bought at a
household sale for the nominal sum
of fifteen cents. Both were apparently
married beyond remedy. 1t was taken
apart and the frame sent to a profess
sional furniture finisher to be done
over When it was returned it never
could have been recognized as the
CASTOR frame. It's finish was the
beautiful, satiny one of mahogany.
The man who bought the mirror re-
moved the mercury from the glass by
first covering 1t with turpentine and
then rubbing over it with a circular
movement using a silver dollar laid
Aat. The tray was then ready to be
put together Under the glass was
put piece Of poinsettia-fowered ma

What really did happen July Of that year
of years was the final adoption of draft OF the
form of announcing the fact to the world" that
independence had been decreed two days before.
Jefferson had written this draft in his Philade-
phia apartments, consisting of a ready-furnished
parlor and bedroom in the new brick house Of
Hyman Gratz at the southwest corner of Seventh
and Market Streets ION the outskirts Of the city"
The Penn national bank now occupying the site
of this dwelling is in the very business heart OF
Philadelphia
Jenerson's disgust at the changes made in his
draft is described by Mr.. Michael. The CONT
mental Congress struck out the language charg-
ing the king with melting Unreasonable insured
tons with out fell0w-ctizens," by promising them
confiscated property; with carrying on the save
trade and refusing to allow American legislatures
to suppress It, While these and many other
clauses were being stricken out of his draft JEFF
ferson sat in his seat without raising his voice In
defense of his own work, Notwithstanding ne
writhed in agony as he saw some OF mis- most
cherished paragraphs and sentences eliminated
from the document" The historian, John Adams
otherwise a critic of the Declaration, complained
that some of the drafts best parts particularly
that indicting the king for continuing the slave
trade should not have been stricken out. yet
II will be we'll to remember" Mr. Michael says,
that Georgia and South Carolina were both car
rying on the slave trade at this time as energet-
ically as they were able, and other colonies nad
prohted largely by the traffic Hence 1t was
ridiculous to arragn the king for doing the same
thing"
