When Jefferson was approaching
the end of his long and varied career,
lie composed the epitaph which he
wished to have inscribed upon his
tomb. 1t read: Here was buried
Thomas Jefferson, author of the Dec
laratiOn of American Independence, of
the Statute of Virginia for Religious
Freedom, and the Father of the Uni
versity of Virginia" If Jefferson
were to be remembered for nothing
more than those three things, his
fame would be secure. But history
has written these other achievements
under his name. He was a member
of the Continental congress, 1775-76
and signer Of the Declaration. liz
1776 he was member of the legisla-
ture Of Virginia and leader i'm i'm
portant legal reforms. In 1779 he was

was United States minister to France;
he was the first secretary of state,
serving in WashingtOn's cabinet 1890
"a; he was Vice President 1797-1S01
and he was the third President of
the United States, 1S01-1S09. During
his Presidency he made the famous
Louisiana purchase from France,
which carried the American flag in
one giant leap from the Mississippi
to the summit Of the Rockies and
paved the way for the extension of
this country from sea to sea.

recent historian. Gle did not mere

 secret ambition to be something which one not is often harbored by the great well as by the ordinary person There plenty of brokers who would like to be in the list of the first ten golf tennis players; plenty of newspaper men who cherish a hidden belief in their own talent for business; plenty of typiss who would prefer to be tap dancers.
 Among the great there wellknown examples. Browning wrote of the sonnets of Raphael, compar- ing him with Dante, who "once prepared himself to paint an angel" but being interrupted put Beatrice and those who interrupted him into the Inferno. Then there was Cicero, who was not content with being an orator but insisted that he was also a statesman and poet.
 MT. Ralph Straus the English novelist recently indicated Dickens as a whose ambition was similarly divided from his accomplishments How ever, he did succeed in a measure in satisfying his longing to be an actor. He was very fond of playing in amateur theatricals, and nearly got on the stage as professional. He wanted to write plays, and wanted to act in them
 lin the public readings of his book he found an agreeable substitute for his hstronc yearnings. He moved his audiences to tears and laughter, and refused to listen to the advice of his doctor when his health was so poor that he had to spend all of his time in bed except the hours spent the platform.

LEADING wAsHINGToNIAN DIES.

The recent death of Daniel Kellener. Chairman of the Board of the Seattle National Bank removed one of the most aggressive and among the wealthiest of Seattle bankers. He not only the largest sockholder in the Seattle National Bank, but held more bank shares than any else in Seattle Be- fore becoming banker he was member Of the prominent law firm of Bausman and Kelleher He had been a resident of Seattle for nearly forty years, and from the beginning was leading citizen Mrs. Kelleher who survives her husband, was the daugh- ter of Gen Meen, general officer in the Con- federate States Army during the Civil War and Postmaster of Seattle during the second Cleveland Administration. A few years ago, MT. Keeher went back to his wife's grlhood home in Virginia and purchased for his wife the old Meem estate in the Shenandoah Valley and made of its 24OO acres one of the fine show farms of America. He spent four months of each year the old farm with Mrs Kelleher and their two sons He was actuated in the beginning through a sentimental desire to please his wife but soon became as successful as farmer as he had been as lawyer and banker.
 Mir Kaneher was born in Massachusetts sixty five years ago and took his Bachelor of Arts and Bache- lor of Laws degrees at Harvard. He practiced law at Syracuse N Y for five years and located in seattle in l89O forming his law partnership with Frederick Bausman, which continued until the latter was appointed to the Supreme Court by Gov. Lister in 1913
 The esteem in which Mir. Kelleher held in Seattle brought forth the following editorial from the Seattle -Tntelligencer:
 The civic organism of healthy com
 munity such as Seattle is elastic and re-
 silent absorbent of heavy blows.
 Daniel Kelleher, extremely modest in
 life would not wish it said that his mater
 ia place in the civic structure could not be
 filled But those who have best known him
 and his works will best understand that his

immortal part carried away with it an in tangible something which is irreplaceable Tn our community life
 A leader is essentially of his time Dan iel Kellehers leadership and time in Seattle extended over a period in which the clty increased tenfold in population and nun dred-fold in promise. His contribution to this growth can not be easily calculated And while his life and time have ended, his work was of the enduring kind which will continue to exert it's influence in shaping Seattle's destiny.

More Or Less True


 An average woman is one who thinks hearing good secret and not telling it is as silly as buying a spiffy new hat and not wearing it.
 A lass at a betting party gets the idea the male wants something to love. pet and spend money on, but her mother can tell her what the male wants is some one to cook, mend and save for him.
 Another reason why there are more divorces is because now when women go out the front door they are more apt to be going to the drugstore for lipsticks or cigarettes than they are to be going to the grocery for something for dinner.
 One of the biggest problems of the day is how to make men like meals that have been prepared with can opener.
 The reason people still have bread with their meals is because no vil- lage is too small to have a bakery.
 The impression some girls give us is that they didn't go far enough with their schooling and are going too far with their fooling.
 A prize optimist these days is the poor boob who thinks the modern girl he's bought the wedding ring for is taking him for life mate and not just to have some one to pay her alimony.
 Father might learn lot of things about love making at a betting party, but mother wouldn't let him 90 because she is afraid she would not be the one to get the benefit of what he learned there. If man from Mars should drop
