One hundred and thirty eight
years ago there came from the pen
and mind of Thomas Jefferson the
most remarkable document ever
written. The American States in
Congress assembled set, forth to the
Wo-'d the principles of liberty and
self government, overthroWing the
established customs OF the centuries
OF Feudelism and defying the guar

Monarchs and despots heard. and
trembled on their thrones. Three
million people had declared that
these united colonies are land of

Since th3t time America has
preached the Gospel of freedom to
the Nations of the Earth, until the
world recognizes the inherent right
of organized self government.
Even China with the precedent of
untold centuries of ancestor wor-

has adopted Americas ideas and is

How da Vinci Got His Models.

From the Strand Magazine.
On the wall Of an old monastery in
Milan hangs the famous Last Supper
of Leonardo da Ninci. II is said that this
artist in painting the faces of the
Apostles studied the countenances of
good men whom he knew. When he
was ready to paint the face of Christ
he could find none that would satisfy
his conception. After years of careful
search the painter happened to meet one
Pietro Bandinelli. choir boy of ex-
quisite voice. belonging to the cathedral.
Being struck by the beautiful features
and tender manner that bespoke an
angelic soul. the artist induced the boy
to be the study for the Divine face.
All was done carefully and raverently
but the picture was yet incomplete. for
the face Of Judas was absent. Again
the painter Set about in search of 4
countenance. Years passed before his
search was rewarded and the picture
finally completed. AS the artist was
about to dismiss the miserable and de-
graded wretch who had been his awful
choice the man looked up at him and
said:
You have painted me before
With amaZement the painter learned
that the man was Pietro Bandinelli
During those Intervening years Pietro
had been at Rome studying music, had
met with evil companions and fallen
into shameful dissipation and crime.

Peter Rabbit was in as tight a place as

But Peter isn't the kind to worry until
lie has to. He was so thankful to escape
under the pile of brush that he didn't

Presently Peter began to chucklc. You
wouldn't suppose he could have found
anything tn chuckle about when he WAS
in such q tiSht place, would you? But
he did. The fact is. there was a quarrel
going ON outside that heap of brush and
Peter heard il. Reddy Fox WAS calling
Redtail the Hawk all the bad names he
