THE DECLARATION
AND THE FLIES

IT HERE has been cited the adoption
of the Declaration of Independence
as an illustration of the influence little
things have in determining great
events. 1t appears that the Continent
tai Congress sat in Philadelphia in a
hall near a livery stable. The weather
was warm, and from the stable ema-
mated swarms of flies that lighted on
the legs of the members, and, biting
through the thin silk stockings then
in fashion, gave great annoyance.
There was then witnessed. according to
the testimony of no less a person than
Thomas Jefferson. the spectacle of an
honorable member making a speech
as with a large handkerchief in hand
he would pause frequently to thrash
the flies from his thinly covered calves.
The opinion of the body was not I'M
animous in favor of the document, and.
under other circumstances. it is thought,
discussion might have been protracted
for days. IL not weeks, but the fies
were tntolerable. Efforts were, indeed,
made to find another hall. free from
the pests. but in vain. AS the weather
became warmer the flies grew worse.
and the Tapping of handkerchief was
heard all over the hall as an accompa-
niment to the voices of the speakers
In desperation, 1t is said, some one at
last suggested that matters be hurried
were a few mild protests, but no one
needed them: the famous document was
hurriedly copied and the members has
tened to the table to sign tho anthem
tic copy.
II thus appears that had 1t not been
for the livery stable and it's inmates,
there Is no telling when the document
would have been completed. At any
rate, 1t Is probable that 1t would not
have been signed so early as the
Fourth of July.

Our Admirations.

1OHN PURROY Mitchell, the

marvels adequately.

admiration We are all a little like

"A tailor expressed a great desire to
hear a certain patron of his. a famous
tenor, sing. The tenor accordingly sent
the man seats for one OF his best per-
formances. The day after the show,
meeting the tailor, the tenor asked:
well, how did you like it?
1T was awful. simply awful the
tailor replied. Your coat was too
tight under the arms"

How did this desk come into possess

Jefferson left it to his grandson,
Joseph Coolidge. The latter beaueathed
it to his son. the late T. Jefferson
