Jefferson's birthday—April 13—will receive universal recognition throughout the nation. The celebration of this great American's natal day is a peculiarly appropriate 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 participate. in the struggle against British supremacy. There are continually strange and uncommon items relating to Jefferson's career relating 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. Randolph—great-granddaughter of the famous Virginian—were hastily examined 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 discovered certain items discarded by the distinguished biographer, but which are proved of much importance in deprived persons' sexual element in the heraldic, as well as religious suggestions made by Jefferson during the formative period of our republic. Among these seemingly unimportant notes and memoranda appears evidence to the effect that in 1774, two years before Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he used the term "United States of America," the first time that such present-day denomination was given to the confederating colonies. Further conformation of Jefferson's deep forest sight is found in the same record, or semi-diary, of 1774, where the following remarkable entry occurs: "A war of the United States of army] for the American States United, would be the father presenting the bundle of rods to his sons." This was intended as a seal of the United States and shows that as early as the fall of 1774 in suggesting this design Jefferson believed in separa- Thomas Jefferson. tion from the mother country, that he hoped for a rebellion, and had faith in the said rebellion evolving into a revolution which would result in the necessity for a national signature or seal. He not only designed the emblematic or symbolic part, but also supplied a motto which likewise appears among the stray notes of 1774, couched in the following words: "For a motto (on device for American States United): 'Insuperables si Inseparables'" ("together we are Inseparable")—an answer given in the English parliament to the house of STAL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MD00LXXV1. Jefferson's First Design. lords and commons. He cites parliamentary rolls as reference to the time when the episode occurred which brought forth the reply. Jefferson's idea of comparing the thirteen colonies to the 13 rods with which an earnest father sought to impress his sons with the principle that "in union there is strength," or the precept that "United we stand, divided we fall," as taken from his copy of Aesop's Fables. He describes an ancient story which appealed so phatically to Jefferson are as follows: "A father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he was heated to hea HENGIST AND HORSA MDCCLXXVI STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Jefferson's Second Device. Jefferson's Third Design. their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion. For this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks, and when they had done so, placed the faggot in the hands of each of them in succession, ordering them to break it to pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and failed. He next unclosed (untied) the faggot and took the stick separately. One by one he again put them into their hands, and then they broke them easily. He then pressed them in these words: "My soo you are of one mind and unite to each other, you will be as this faggot." this sagitt, unhijacked by all the attempts of your ene- mence, but if you are divided among them, you will be broken as easily as these sticks." 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 July 4, 1776, we see Jefferson, Franklin and Adams appointed a committee to deceive a seal for the young republic. His co-committee, like himself, were known to be thoroughly informed on heraldic matters, and it was natural that the Continental Congress would select people of their culture and learning for the performance of such an the same day that the Declaration of Independence was issued, July 4, a committee to devise a seal was created. While present-day Americans have always been informed by writers, historians and orators of the intense heat of that auspicious Fourth of July, and that because of the almost unbeatable atmosphere of the sultry weather prevailing the delegates assembled, hastily debated and quickly the colloquial Msg Charter in order to get out of the congressional hall, the facts are that the unusually pleasant and characteristic of a most agreeable summer climate. This statement, involving as it does a correction of hitherto accepted historical material, rests on the authority of an entry found among Jefferson's stray notes, an entry never until now given printed publicity. In innumerable writers have drawn highly colored picture of the dreadful and boring weather conditions existing on the island of the colony, to submit that far more reliance is to be on the evidence penned by a distinguished and careful observer who was present on the occasion in the role of an active and honorable delegate. Among the Jeffersonian script is a sheet bearing the following notations: Degrees: July 4th.....6 A. M.....68 July 4th.....9 A. M.....72½ July 4th.....1 P. M.....76 July 4th.....9 A. M.....73½ We are thus informed that at the time of the passage of the Declaration of Independence, on the early afternoon of July 4, 1776, the temperature, according to Jefferson's record, was 76 degrees—a striking coincidence in the year of the century and the number of heat degrees, both represented by the numerals, 76. Naturally the question arises as to how Jefferson can make this exact observation regarding the weather con THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1912.

Here again the supposedly valueless documents furnish corroborative evidence of Jefferson's ability to obtain the desired heat; only the ability son called on Mr. Sparkhaw to settle an account, and this entry appears among his papers as witness of a certain purchase and payment: "July 4, 1776. Pald Sparkhaw for a thermometer, £3, 15. Pald for 7 pr. (probably pair) women's gloves, 27. Gave to charity 17. "The foregoing entry removes all entries to Jefferson's ability to determine the 76 degrees of heat on the noon of July 4th, and establishes the fact that it was a calm and delightfully tempered summer's day. "Further search among Jefferson's papers brings to light the correct name of the German family which furnished him with room and board at the time when he wrote the Declaration and devised a number of designs for a seal of the young republic, one readings: "Pd. Mrs. Graaf one week's lodging, 35." On the 9th day of July, 1776, the committee on seal met at the tavern of the London Coffee House, and while the report formulated on that occasion contains much of general interest, it is only necessary to consider in this connection the items in which the hand of Jefferson is seen. He was made chairman of the committee, and he he who addressed congress on the subject while Jefferson's device was not accepted by the committee, he assisted in creating a could device in which the ideas of Dr. Franklin, himself and a French artist named Du Simiter were blended. In the report to congress in the fall of 1776 Jefferson presented the doubledideal idea of a seal on the obverse, or front, of which the following appeared: "A shield divided into six fields upon which were emblems of the leading European nations; above the shield the eye of Providence; the shield was supported on the right side by the goddess of Liberty, on a staff she held a Phrygani cap; on the left side of the shield the cap of Justice held with the scales of justice in the left, and with the right, light arm. Around the entire device the third shield of the colonies appeared, with initials blazoned upon them." On the back, or reverse, of the proposed seal the Franklin idea was displayed as follows: "Legend round the whole achievement, 'Seal of the United States of America, MDCCLXXVI.'" "On the other side of the said Great Seal should be the following device: "Pharaho sitting in an open charlot, a crown on his head, and a sword in his right hand, passing through the divided waters of the Red Sea, in pursuit of the Israelites. Rays from a pillar of fire in the cloud, expressive banners, who stand and command, beaming on Moses, who stands on the shore, and extending his hand over the sea, causes it to overthrow Pharah. "Motto, 'Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God.'" But congress rejected the device and report, dismissed the committee, and appointed a new one. Yet Jefferson's keen interest in the heraldic creation of a symbolic seal did not prevent him from several future committees and submitted other important designs, both of which throw new light on the religious and The Committee on Emblems. Slavery of Israelites. Slavery of Israelites. political leanings of the author. When submitting the sketch of a proposed seat he addressed the committee as follow: "As I have already observed, Dr. Franklin's and my thoughts, by some unexplainable coincidence are very similar, inasmuch that we have both sought to symbolize Liberty; and furthermore as a critical illustration of the elimination of slavery, chose the children of Israel. In representing these King-ridden people, it is my primary desire to indicate on our seal that the success of the Hebrews was due, not so much to their skill and genius in battle, but principally to the fact that they were God fearing, and confided in the Almighty, who, though invisible, was present in the 'pillar' and 'cloud' which led them, observe that the seal contain an objection, and were sited on the former the Children of Israel, led by a 'cloud' by day and a 'pillar of fire' by night, on the latter Hengist and Horsa the Saxon chiefs, from whom we claim the honor of being descended, and government we are now about to assume." The history of Hengist and Horsa is one of great interest, and anyone thoroughly absorbed in the story of the seal can not afford to miss it. Jefferson believed that indirectly we inherited from these bold Germans our form of government. The history of the seal begins shortly before the Christian faith of the ancient first landed and conquered a civilized race known as the Britons. The Romans about the third century had effected marked changes in the island and had established the Christian religion, and introduced Roman laws and rules, but the Britons, a barbarous race, so incessantly attacked them, that late in the fifth century they abandoned England. Hengist and Horsa were the leaders of the Saxons, or Germans, who dislived the ownership of the British soil and finally became the country. They were defeated in three Horsa being slain in action at Egglesbury (455). Hengist immediately took possession of Kent and nearly the entire southern half of England. He established his court at Canterbury, and the laws which he enforced were in good taste with governments of that early period. He regained about 30 years, and laid the foundation of that Great England which has occupied so large a space in the history of world. Jefferson was somewhat over the disfavor shown his designs by the critics of the Continental Congress, and betrayed his annoyance when he wrote: "If the Continental Congress will not accept the stirring motto. 'Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God. I will employ it in my personal seal." This resolution was immediately carried out, for he had an engraver produce a seal with "T J" in script, with the classic motto placed about the center of the design evolved by Jefferson who were mainly reflected in their virile character the powerful intellect of this great American patron who will be so widely remembered on April 13.

SCHOOL FOR INDIANS How Savages Are Taught Practical Things in Southwest. Institution Conducted by W. T. Shelton of Shiprock, N. M. on the Navajo Reservation—Children Prefer Outdoor Work. Shiprock, N. M. — It is only within the last few years that the practical note has been emphasized in the education of the Indian child, and the results have been so hopeful that those who were beginning to despair of the Indian's future are taking a new view of the situation. It used to be that when the subject of Indian education was brought up, people were told to investigate the work being carried on at the Carlisle and other non-reservation Indian schools. But now there are many reservation schools which afford an interesting study in practical accomplishment. The Indian school that is generally accepted as a model for the entire Indian service is conducted by Superintendent W. T. Shelton at Shiprock, N. M., on the Navajo Indian reservation. The agency and school were established by Mr. Shelton about eight years ago. Surrounding the school and agency buildings are several hundred acres of beautifully cultivated farm. That is a fine herd of dairy cows in the hammyard and the boys take turns at the milking in the model dairy house. About the agency one finds children engaged in many useful tasks. A trained seamstress is teaching a class of girls the intricacies of needlework. Other girls, who are under the watchful eye of matron, are flitting about the building, washing dishes, washing dishes. The big boys are caring for the live stock, and the Before His School Training. smaller lads are busy in the garden or orchard. "The practical note is emphasized here," said Mr. Shelton. "That is done because it is the practical that is going to be of most benefit to the Indian. All the old prejudices of the Indians against the white man's education are being wiped out. Old Indians bring their children across the desert for many miles, and beg me to put them in school. Sometimes the children themselves, who have heard from other children about the life here, will run away and show up here at the agency with the request that I put them in school. "It is surprising the talent that is being developed among these Indian boys and girls. I have an Indian boy who acts as an interpreter and works the greenhouse. He has a positive genius for forlustration. The school girls have woven Navajo rugs that have taken prizes at our annual Navajo fair in competition with rugs from the looms of the oldest and most experienced weavers on the reservation. The children without exception love the outdoor work in the garden and orchard. We raise more fresh vegetables here than we can consume, and the girls preserve the surplus."

He was about to board a teacher in October, 1910, when he was struck and knocked down by another car.

WALLS OF CHINESE CITIES Immense Structures to Be Demolished to Make Way for Modern Improvements. Shanghai, China—The decision to demolish the ancient wall surrounding Shanghai city is an interesting sign of the times as well as the preliminary to an ambitious scheme of development. Scores of coolies were at work says the North China Daily News, with pick and shovel on that portion of the city rampart which faces the street leading to the old yamen. The Copyright, Underwood & Underwood, N. Y. Fort on the Great Wall. wall itself is several times wider than the alleyways along which pedestrians and rickshaws make their devious and difficult way in that part of the city. The space acquired by the removal of the wall should therefore, if used to best advantage, be of considerable value. It appears to have been suddenly discovered that the wall is useless as a means of defense and that it is an ugly impediment to the development and improvement of the native quarters. The work was put in hand immediately the order went forth from the town hall works department that it was to be executed without fail. The owners and inhabitants of shanties on the wall have been ordered to remove these, and any fences, material, etc., which would impede the progress of the work. An alleyway have been expected, since the shanties have been strongly opposed, but the order has been quietly accepted. In fact very little interest seems to have been aroused by the work, even though it inaugurates a striking change. Two of the principal gates in the city wall of Hangchow have been removed. At Canton the republican government has ordered an investigation as to the population and the number of houses along the wall inside and outside the city. The officials deputed to the work are to report in a month, submitting a list of the houses and residents, together with a scheme for the demolition of the entire city wall. RISE AND FALL OF MINE TOWNS Bubble of Popularity Frequently is Quickly Punctured in Many Golden Cups. Vancouver, B. C. "It don't take long to puncture the bubble of a town's popularity," remarked Paul C. Stephens, formerly of Washington, at the New Ebbitt. Mr. Stephens has been in nearly every mining camp which has sprung up in recent years in the west, Alaska and British Columbia. "The average person in the east," he continued, "does not comprehend what great gold矿es there are in the small places of the west about one hears but little. Take Nevada, for instance. I think the largest gold producing mine in the world is located there, near Goldfield, which yields more than $1,000,000 a month. In Colorado there are scores of mines that are yielding fortunes, but they are rarely heard of. Goldfield, Nev., at the time of the boom, grew into a city of nearly 30,000 population. Today, with the fever gone, it has scarcely 3,000. Rawhide, which another of the great gold 'finds', had another of more than 20,000 people, but there are more than 300 or 400 residents here. "The realty values of Goldfield have depreciated so much that property is worth comparatively little. Lets that were selling during the boom for as high as $50,000 are offered now for $2,000, and there are no buyers. It is almost sad to walk the streets of Goldfield and see the vacant business blocks that were erected by investors who were carried away for the moment by the gold craze. "In British Columbia, on the Frazier river, is a little place called Barkerville, which is populated by perhaps 75 on 100 persons, mostly Chinamen. There are 30,000 people in Barkerville but 30,000 people in it and was a thriving mining camp." Clock Rescues Family.

Husbands Take Pride in Seeing Their Wives Wive Dressed—Accident Will Cause Entire Town to Mourn. Broughty Ferry, Scotland—Having a relative engaged in one of the pits at Bowhill, a busy mining district, the writer has been privileged to learn by among them much of the daily life of the Fife Miner. Taking the shift, the miner leaves home in time to reach his work at six o'clock. He does not return' till he knocks off at two. The wife of the miner has a long day to get her household duties attended to. She is not an early riser, and getting the children off to school occupies her morning to the full. They pop into each other's houses at any time and are dependent on each other in cases of sickness. A washerwoman is to obtain. Wages are good and the miner does not face to see his wife going out to work. The husbands take great pride in seeing their wives stylishly dressed, and it is a sight to see them out for church on a Sunday. The women will send far to get their millinery up to date. Their taste is good on the whole, though it is largely initiative. The houses are built in rows, and in the end house perhaps a clerk or overseer has his abode; his wife is often from the city and has smart tastes and often looked watched, and whatever she gets in to wear is generally what is worn by the whole row in a few weeks. Miners' families are adepts at banking up a fire to last all night, so that "father" has only to give it a poke in the morning, and mother gets up to a warm fire and a big kettle of boiling water to make the first cup of tea. They are deeply religious, nearly all churchgoers, at least once a day. Kind-hearted and fond of their families, no better class of men exists among working people anywhere. If they demand good wages they surely earn them. Accidents are of frequent occurrence. A miner's wife told me that Type of Miners' Homes. her mind was never at rest. "You never know when your man will be carried to the door crushed in some way," she said. One Sunday I went to church at Auchterderram. There had been an accident shortly before, when two men lost their lives. I was an utter stranger but I shook with sobs at the feeling way the minister prayed for sorrowing families of the vikims. An unusual chord was struck as he also prayed for divine blessing on the "kindly hands that had washed the faces of the dead before the relatives looked on them." CATCHES LION IN HIS COAT Unarmed Colorado Trapper and Beast Fall From Tree, but He Holds Game. Meeker, Colo.—To deliberately climb a tree, unarmed, in pursuit of a mountain lion, follow the beast out to the farthermost limb, and, as is sprang at him, catch it headforemost in the folds of a coat, is a feat of daring performed by Richard Tovey, a trapper. When the beast sprang Tovey had time to straighten up and open his coat. Unlike the lion struck head foremost, a grashing scratching mass, squarely within its folds. The impact caused the trapper to lose his balance and the two fell to the ground, but Tovey did not loosen his hold. Neither Tovey nor the lion was hurt.

Altoona, Pa.—After being treated for various ailments for eight months, during which time she suffered intense pain, an X-ray photograph of Mrs. Margaret Myers's right forearm was taken, disclosing a sewing needle. Its presence in her arm she cannot account for, as she has no recollection of ever expirencing any pain until last June, when the arm began to swell, apparently without cause. The needle was cut out.

Mr. Suvorin, editor of the St. Petersburg Novoe Vremya, said in a recent interview: "I have nothing against the Jews personally, but as a Russian Patriot, I am opposed to them. If the Jews were given freedom in Russia, the entire native population, because it is so uncultured, would find itself in the hands of the Jews. All the wealth of Russia would go over to the Jewish people." He admitted that "the struggle is beyond question a savage one, but then our people are savages. The editor's statement is brutal and reminds one of some of the utterances of Tillman, Vardaman, Heflin, Hoax Smith and other famous or infamous American statesmen. A freight car, containing 8,610 Bibles, is on its way to Los Angeles, Cal., where they are to be placed in the rooms of the hotels of the city. The Bibles are being distributed by the Gideons, who two years ago started to place a Bible in every hotel room in the United States. Within the last year they have placed 32,000 Bibles in hotels in California. It is to be hoped that the seed thus sown will bring a lot of the selfasserted "superior race" to the knowledge of the fact that: "Of one blood God made all the nations of the earth"; that: "God is no respecter of persons," and that Christ says: "Love thy neighbor as thyself," then they will cease to do evil and learn to do well.

Some of the people to whom THE APPEAL is as regularly sent as it is issued—and that is every Saturday—act as though they are under neither legal nor moral obligations to pay for it; when, as a matter of fact, they are under both. There is no law compelling any one to receive THE APPEAL, but there is law to compel any one to pay for it who receives it, upon the principle of law that one must pay for anything he receives. Ordering a paper discontinued does not pay any amount that may be due and unpaid, and the publisher has the right to continue to send his paper until whatever may be due for it is fully paid; then an order to discontinue must be obeyed. It is hoped that every one who reads this, that is indebted to the paper, will bring or send to the office the amount due. Every one who receives THE APPEAL is expected to pay for it. 35 CENTS ST.

THE NEGRO NATIONAL EDUCA TIONAL CONGRESS. ‘The Negro National Educational Congress is an assured fact, and there will be many prominent’ men and women of the race present, who are to take part in the great work of the Congress. ‘The Denver meeting was a decided success, as may be seen from the fol- lowing letter from Governor John F. Shafroth, of Colorado, who welcomed the delegates to that Congress, and gave one of his most inspiring ad- dresses, filled with earnest encourage- ment, That created a’ new ambition in the breast of every one present. STATE OF COLORADO. Executive Chamber, Denver. November 18, 1911. Mr. J. Silas Harris, 310 Long Bros. Building, Kansas City, Mo. Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter. In reply thereto will say that the NEGRO EDUCATIONAL | CON- GRESS, which met in Denver, was an unqualified success. It was composed of representative men from all over the country. I am confident that this Congress, by its discussion of the questions which came before it, Is a great factor in the uplift of the Colored people of this country. . ‘With best wishes, I remain, ‘Yours truly, John F, Shafroth, Governor. ‘The same congress will meet in its third annual session in this city. Many of the Governors of the United States have already assured Governor Eber- hart that they will appoint delegates to attend this Congress. The good fellowship, which has al- ways existed between St. James A. M. EB. Church and Pilgrim Baptist Church, is further exemplified by the dividing of the honors of their serv- ices with the distinguished Odd Fel- lows, soon to be in our midst for ten days, including Sunday, April 21st, and on that day, Chief Justice Davis will speak at the morning service at Pilgrim Baptist Church, and Judge Houston of Washington, D: C., will speak at the evening service at St. James Church. These men are race ‘builders, and ever working for the up- lift of the people. Brother Davis is the editor of one of our best journals, the Atlantic Independent, and writes a fearless pen. Judge Houston is a young man who has risen by his own efforts to légal prominence, and is an eloquent speaker. EXPRESSING AND GENERAL HAULING—When you wish any haul- ing done apply to G. J.
