the same day that the Declaration of

m1ttee to devise seal was created.
While present-day Americans have
always been informed by writer's, his

unbearable atmosphere of the sultry

that memorable day, but we submit
that far more reliance is to be placed
on the evidence penned by distin-
gulshed and careful observer who was
present on the occasion in the role of
an active and honorable delegate.

In the foregoing summary
We have the Jeffersonian
idea expressed as it would
relate itself to the union of
the thirteen colonies. It
was direct, convincing and
logical, as shown in some of
the present state seals.
Two years later than the
date of the entry referred to,
July 4, 1776, We see Jeffer-
son, Franklin and Adams ap-
pointed a committee to de-
wise a seal for the young re-
public. His co-committeemen,
like himself, were known to
be thoroughly informed on
heraldic matters, and it was

&S,XF The celebration of this

day is peculiarly ap-
propriate time to point out incidents in
his career which have been passed
over by the historians, but are none
the less fraught with deep interest to
the minds of those who look upon
him as one of the most commanding
figures IN the ranks of the liberators
who participated in the struggle
against British supremacy.
There are continually strange and
uncommon items relating to Jeffer-
sons career coming to the surface,
and what an author fifty years ago
cast aside as unimportant and not
worthy of publication, the researcher
of today is apt to pronounce welcome
additions to biographical knowledge.
Some of the early scripts of Jefferson,
now in the possession of Miss Sarah
N. neutrality-suspicious. of
the famous Virginian-were hastily ex.
amined by William Curtis, who wrote
a life of Jefferson, and much of the
material therein contained was not
considered available for his purpose.
Among these documents are now dis
covered certain items discarded by
the distinguished biographer, but
which nevertheless proved of much
Importance in deciphering very es-
sential element in the heraldic as

Jefferson during the formative period
of our republic.
Among these seemingly unimportant
notes and memoranda appears evil
dence to the effect that in 1774, two
years before Jefferson wrote the
Declaration Of independence, he used
the term Omitted States of America"
the first time that such present-day
denomination was given to the con-
decorating colonies. Further con-
formation of Jefferson's deep fore
sight is found In the same record, or
semi-diary, of 1774, where the follow
Ing remarkable entry occurs:
"A proper device (instead of arms)

Dawson, January 12.-At a recent
melting of the city council, one of the
most important changes was that of
levying a prohibitive tax on billiard
and pool rooms. The result is the
closing of the two "parlors" in the
city, one for whites and one for ne

each table and provides that pool

'Why aren't you dancing Kendall?"
Miss Turner ceased her airy gyrations
a few minutes later to ask.
Madeline wouldn't" said Kendall
Miss Turner looked across the room
at Madeline. Il don't understand
that" she said in puzzled, disap-
proving tone Madeline loves to
dance and she has no partner. Per-
haps she's tired. Kendall, run and
ask Polly She's not dancing"
Kendall obediently jumped to his
feet and presently was making the
prescribed bow to Polly. Mrs. Boyd
and Miss Turner, watching them from
afar, saw Polly shake her head.

Miss Turner. 81 think it's about time

her. -ii3

she asked in restrained tone.
Nope" replied Kendall.
"I'll speak to Miss Turner about it,"
said Mrs. Boyd firmly. Il don't like

to be allowed to behave that way. It's
rude"

more than annoyed; she was undoubt-

''Yes'm," said Kendall, dutifully.
Did they say why?"

Mrs. Boyd eyed the entire feminine
contingent with stern disapproval.

this time.

Turner said after q short colloquy
with Mrs BOYD. "Ill find you a part

Polly let one tiny foot slip to the
ground Then she drew it back with

said, the tears starting to her eyes.
Miss Turner held out compelling
hand. "Co8le!" she said, decidedly.

flinging herself into Miss Turner's
arms. "Oh, please don't make me-"

Downfall of the

Miss Turner, the dancing teacher,
stopped in front OF Mrs, Boyd, who
had come to enjoy the vision of her
son gliding gracefully over the floor,
and beamed upon her. Miss Turner
laid her hand affectionately upon the
shoulder of the unregenerate Kendall,
who stalked beside her.
"Kendall's doing beautifully, Mrs
Boyd she said, enthusiastically. HE
danced with every girl in the class
last week. He's really getting to like
dancing, and he wants to-"
She swept away and Kendall
pumped into the chair beside his
mother.

Mrs. Boyd tactfully ignored this re-
mark They're going to begin dane

pause. Don't you think you'd better

and looked about the room with an
appraising eye "Ill ask Madeline"
he announced after a careful inspec-

returned after a short absence and
dropped into the chair with a sigh.

his mother in surprise.
Madeline wouldn't do it," Kendall
explained, briefly.

bristling materially.

ly.
