Sallie Hummock preseat- ed me with a perfectly new idea some weeks ago, which was all right, as an idea, if restricted, but I fear I overwork- ed it; and the result has been tragedy. “I never knew Sallie Hummock to have an idea,” said the original girl, with deep interest. *“How did it happen?” “It was one of those inspirations,” the girl sewing on roses explained. “Sallle was waiting for me to go somewhere and I was struggling to.get into that blue taffeta dress of mine, when I gave it a ygnk and tore a long gash in the back of the walst. > ““Listen! said Sallle, glancing at her wrist watch and springing to the breach. ‘Don’t take time now te sew it, and, be- sides, you can't sew aeatly, anyhow!

ODD iINCIDENTS IN AMERIOAN & HISTORY THE ADOPTION OF OUR SEAL The founders of our Government did nothing without careful deliberation, and we are #ld that the adoption of a seal for the United Sates “was as carefully considered as he fram- ing of the Declaration of Independence. It was adopted during the period of the Confederacy, several years before the ‘adoption of the Constitution. but not till after several years’ delibera- ion. On the 4th of July, 1 after the Declaration of Independénce had been finally acted upon, John Hanceck, president of the Ceongress, appointed Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson a committee “to pre- pare a device for a great seal of the United States of America., A seal was to certify the official commissiong soon noe netded for ornament or sho®, but to be issued by the United States. The committee took the matter up at once. Each of the members of the com- mittee had some ideas of his own, and they called.in &n artist of Philadel- phia to help them formulate a de- sign. This artist was Pierre Simitjer- ri, a patriotic Swiss, who was doing some excellent portrait painting in the] then Capital city of the country. The Swiss drew a design which was! discussed by the committee after which | each member suggested additions- or changes, which were incorporated byl Jeiferson in a report made to Congr: on ‘August 10, 1 This report was| in heraldic language, describing the| shield, crest, legend, ete. The following-is an e of this report. “The great seal should on ene side have the arms of the United States of America, which arms should be as| 5: The shield has six quarters, the first an enamelled rose for Eng- land; the second a thistle proper, for the fourth, a fleur-de-lis, for France; Seotland; the third, a harp, for Ireland. | the fifth, the crowned lon for' Hol-| land and sixth, the imperial eagle for Germany. pointing out the countriesj from which the colonies have been peopled.” After describing other details as the Goddess of Liberty, the initial letters of the Colonists, etc., the report said: “Crest, the éye of Providence in- a| radient triangle whose glory extends over the shield and beyond the fig- ures motto, ‘B Pluribus Unum. ” For some reason or other Congress refer-| red this device back to the committee} for further report. Franklin had pro- posed for a motto. “Rebellion to Ty- rants- is Obedience to God,” Adams proposed Hercules leaning on a club, with all the virtues and nearly all the vices grouped about him in different attitudes. His design would have been a monstrosity and laughing stock. Jef- frrson’s compesite design® simplifi matters, and it was he who suege: the motto of “E} Pluribus Unum.” This| was in August, 1776. The war soon absorbed the attention and nothing further was done about a seal ugtil March, 1779, when a committee of three was appointed to consider and report on the subject. This committee report- ed in favor of a shield with thirteen diagonal tripes, alternately red and white, aconstellation of thirteen stars, a figure of Libertv and the motto, “Bello vel Pace Paraus” (Ready for War or For Peace) This report also was recommitted and it was nearly a year before the matter came up again Not to follow through repeated discus- sions and rejections of several designs the present seal was not adopted til June 20, 1782. It was the work of a young artist, William Barton by name, who follow- ed in many respects the design sub- mitted by Jefferson ars before, but simplified it. He retained the ea- gle, -a bundle of arrows in one tallon and an olive branch in the other; the helmet with six bars, or quarterings signify the six nationalties from which the country had been mainly peopled, and the motto, “E Pluribus Unum”, which survived all the discussions. The designer said “The motto aludes to the Union.” He added in his explan- ation: “The escutcheon is borne on the breast of the American eagle, without any other support, to denote that the United States of America ought to rely on heir own virtues.” The different ex- ecutive departments of the Government have each their own seal, but every ecommission signed by the President ig stamped with the great seal of ‘the United States which is kept in the state deparment.

Mr. Editor: While there are many persons who are not interested in horses or dumb animals I am not one of these, 1 am glad to say, for to me the book, Black JBeauty, is the most beautiful book that I have ever read; in faet, the one that stirred my sympathies as no one of 1ts style has ever done. It's not over- drawn and is so real; and lifeltke. I would like for someone to give me som. good reason why horses, especially those which are obliged to haul heavy loads are not allowed bigger stalls to lay down in to rest and sléep at night instead of being obliged to stand and sleep while on their feet. These Horses help their owners to make %their living and :We surely deserving better treatment than they are getting in many cases. To me a horse is next to man and in some ¢ases they far excel them. If there is one being whe appears more brutal or contemptible in my eves it iS a2 man who will and does abuse a horse, "hethar he starves or kicks it. He is a brute and is unfit to raise a family! He is a mis- erable coward and vents hls bail tem- per upon an animal for the reason that he knows the animal has no ene to de- fend it. Animals are oftimes mage cruel because of the cruel manner in whieh they are ill treated and no one should blame them. Any person calling him- self a man who will mistreat 2 horse or the agent, ‘it |an enimal ef any kind, should be pun- ished to the full extent of the law and if I had my way I would make the law strenger for those Who abuse the horses that help these brutes to make their :iving. !
