This famous docu-1 iient preceded by many rnoutbs the ne drawn up at Philadelphia, and in onsequence Is the first formal expres ion against England formulated by. he colonies. The old log court-Douce n which the band of resolute men met o assert their rights and the rights of their fellow aitizens thj.n. stood, in independence Square, and the site is narked by a heavy iron plate recording he fact. Ctiarlotte Is proud of Its distinction, and its school children are told again and again of the daring of the fore fathers which started them on the road to citizenship in an American republic. It was these Mecklenburg resolutions, framed May :!u, 1775, that Jefferson de nied ever having heard of. John Ad ams also pleaded ignorance of them. The latter wrote of them to William Bentley in August, 1819: "I was on social friendly terms with Caswell, Hooper and Howes, delegates from North Carolina to the continental con tress every moment of their existence n congress; with Hooper, a Boslonian, t son of Harvard. Intimate and famil iar, yet from neither of them did the slightest hint of these resolutions ever scape." To Jefferson he wrote: "You know that If I had possessed such a paper I would have made the walls of congress echo and re-echo with it fif teen months before your Declaration it Independence." In spite of this lack of knowledge of iheae important writings on the part of eminent statesmen tlwe to the stirring Jays of the revolution, the document did exist, and it is due to the legislature of North Carolina that it was ferreted out. The committee appointed by ll for the purpose eventually got trace of an abridged ropy of the original reso lution. Peter Force, compiling h's American archives, was another instru ment in making their existence known, and In 1847 Dr. Joseph Johnson found the set Intact In the South Carolina Ga zette of June, 1773. and George Ban croft afterward found them capled in the state papers office of London. The remarkable point in connection with these resolutions Is that North Carolina, remote from the Boston tea party and one month away from new of the battle of Islington, took it upon Itself to openly assert its scorn of Brit ish rule. The night preceding the sign ing wa san anxious one for the general committee gathered In the little log house perched upon stilts. The croud autside waited patiently for results. It know Abrlham Alexander had called the meeting to order and that Dr. Kph ralm Bevard was clerk. Rev. H. J. Raich, accustomed to writing, was nam ed to draw up resolutions, and he had for assistant William Kennon. The crowd never deserted the Bquare. Ail night it stood within call of the narrow soor. Knowing neither fatigue nor hun ter, it hailed with a mlshty shout the nnouncement that the final word had jeen agreed to. The news came at S o'clock In the morning. The resolutions were Imme diately read to the excited throng out llde. They were as follows: Resolved, That whosoever directly or ndlrectly abets, or In any way, form 3r manner, countenances the invasion GIRL ELOPES WITH A PAINTER. Fitchburg, Mass.

"Resolved, Trial we do hereby declare ourselves a free and independent peo ple; that we are and of right ought to be a sovereign and self-governing peo ple, under the power of God and the general congress; to the maintenance of which we solemnly pledge to each other our mutual co-operation, our lives, our fortunes and our most sacred honor.

It is to these signers that Charlotte this year raises an Imposing monument. It Is to the men whose signatures stood for the demands of a people bund to be free that a beautiful granite shaft has been reared. A bronze plate on oris side shows the ilst of these names. Above the plate Is a large hornet's nest, the county emblem, typical of Its unrest during the period of the revolution. The monument has been put on historic ground, being on the snot once occupied by Queen's college, the first In the I'nlted States.

Trifles That It Is pretty generaly understood that It Is an eay think to die. But Just how easy you may never suspect unless you know something of the va riety of accidents that may be counted upon to cut off life at lews than a sec ond's notice. Odd mischances they are, too, that you would never dream of taking Into account in summing your chances of taking out a life insurance. It Is Instructive to consider among other cases that of Miss Blanche Young of Wabash, Ind., who .was the victim of the needle point. She was .at work In a millinery store and in sew. Ing she atuck the point of a needle deep In her finger. She went on with her work, however, and the poisonous dyes In the fabrics caused the finger to swell terribly. Blood poison devel oped rapidly, from which the young woman died in agony. A fresh honor Is added to the dentists- chair by the fact that within a week It has cost three lives In a more or less direct way. At Sioux City, la., the filling of a tooth caused a stroke of apoplexy to Dr. Adelaide K. K II bourne, and she died as she was leav ing the chair. At Loyal, Wis., an aching tooth drove Kimbal J. Berry to a dentist with the rest that it be pulled at any cost. It was a molar, far back in the Jaw, and was so firm ly rooted that in the pulling of It th.' jawbone was fracture. The accident was discovered at once and remedies applied, but blood poison set In, kill ing the patient in a few days. In Chi cago the other day Miss Mamie Ferry of Oak Park died from fear of the dentist's chair. Sh e was troubled with a weak heart, and the nervous strain to w hich she was subjected caused her to fall dead In the street. Among the inconsequential things to cause death an acorn, the shell of a peanut and a grain of Indian corn are the least. Barbara Bothman. a little girl liv ing in Jackson, Miss., was the victim of the acorn. She had been com plaining of pains in her tight side. I and the physicians who were called In j decided upon an operation for appc-n-I dlcltls. In the appendix the acorn was found, much enlarged from the heal and moisture. The child recalled hav ing swallowed it in her play. The shock of the operation was too much : for her, and she died. Lloyd Rogers, 4-year-old son of an 'Illinois farmer, near Galesburg. got a ! grain of corn In his trachea. A violent fit of coughing followed, in which the corn dropped into the right bronchial ' tube .out of reach. The kernel would I Colorado Sheep THE old biblical idea of the sheep being a poor, weak creature, un able to look after its own wei fare, may have been all right In bib lical times, but In the present century there Is a new order of things. Colorado has a sheep that is not only able to care for itself, but It j looks after the welfare of cattle as well. j Stric tly speaking, the animal Is a j product of Montana. where It was rais- j ed on the ranch of John W. Springer, j It Is now a pensioner of the Douglas I county ranch of the same gentleman, j who. Incidentally, is the president of the National Live Slock association: and aa such Is exp'ted to have the best animals on earth. This particular sheep Isn't any par ticular breed Just plain sheep but the best of her kind. As a wool grow er she is a great Buccess. but she Is particularly Jong on sheep Intelligence and seems to know a whole lot be sides. If sheep and dogs and horses and rsttle have languages of their own, this particular sheep Is a polyglot spe- lu.rri, fcr ;be m able to com municate with all the other snlmals and make them obey. Whether she does It by some mental force or some ocult povrr strangely placed In this sheep's power does not sem quite plain, but the fsct remains that this panicuist r.irr.i! has shown herself able to take care of the entire ranch In Montana and look sftr the slock ranch better than mankind. Kver since the sheep was a we lit tle lamb she has bee a ruler. Her peculiar accomplishments saved her head from the bkock. for the workers on the rsnch would no more allow her to be sent to msrket thsn they would allow a wolf to be her "slesdy com pany." Two years ago she had the run of the entire place. She looked after the chickens, drove strange dogs awsy and notified the housekeeper when tramps approached. As a special watchman the little lamb should have worn a golden atar. Gradually her Held of operations spread over the thousand or more acres. In th mrg psstur wss a particularly vicious bull.

Near Rockford. III., the "-months-old son of Edward Fisher was ailowec to play with a peanut. Juttlng It it its mouth, the nut found its way Intt the child's windpipe, choking It tt death before the parent dUcoKerei the accident. One of the strangest deaths recorded recently was that which came to the 13-year-old son of Thornton Daniel ol Scotland County. Another brother ol the boy was on his road to a neigh bor's house, riding a horse and car rying a sharp butchering knife in a hip pocket. The boy asked to go along, and was allowed to get up be hind the brother on the horse. The horse began plunging with iln-m. In which the younger brother was thrown against the sharp knife, which pierced his heart. Time was when the folding bed al ways was known to be loaded. In late years It hxs had few victims, but Dr. J. F. Marclay of Buffalo, presi dent of a well known furnace com pany, was found dead in one of them the other morning with his neck bro ken. In South Chicago the other day the axle of a baby carriage broke while Mrs. Mary Morgan of S8.'.2 Buffalo av enue, was out wheeling her H-montha-old boy. The collapse was so sudden that the mother could not save the child, which was thrown to the pave ment, fracturing Its skull. Charles H. Orrnond. a v-terinary surgeon of Milwaukee, was killed In a peculiar manner near Nashula. The touch of the doctor's hand caused the nervous animal to strike out with its foot, one calk of the shoe cutting a hole in the veterinarian's forehead. The man died after hours without re covering consciousness. A dose of medicine given In a tl ark room killed little Milton Begler of No. ."il North Clinton street, Baltimore. Instead of the medicine being a dose designed to relieve a cold It was laud anum, which the mother had used a few days before in easing neuralgic pains. Simply placing her hand one inch to the right of the correct spot on the shelf cost the life of the little one, w ho fell asleep never to wake.

They arranged to rope the anirrmi arid drag him in If he didn't go otherwise, but after an hour's excite ment the Devil was still at large with horns and cloven hoof and was look ing for a cow boy soul to send across the Styx. Then came the little Iamb with her mental ways and winning powers. She trotted Jauntily In the big fleid an-1 made straitrht for the lvtl. The latter stamped and snorted with sur prise. The lamb didn't stop to argu" the matter, but walked up and rubbed her nose against the panting nostrils of the big bull. Km in that Instant the brute was her slave, and when sbeh trotted off toward the open chute tier captive followed as willingly s though in a trance. When one of the cow punchers rode up to shut the gale the bull's eyes snapped savagely and he prepared to charge, but the lamp calmly trotledi between the animal and the horseman and stood still, as though by some mysterious power she had been ap pointed the protector of mankind. Dev il was silent, though nodding his horn ed head from side to side as If unable to comprehend what the intrusion meant. Performances of this sort made the sheep the talk of a doxen- Montana counties. She was looked upon as a most strange creation of nature and some said she was the reincarnated spirit of some great person whose mortal body had been consigned io dust. But sheepie refused to tell any thing about this. She was too busy looking after things other people were raid to perform snd didn't. Aa a cor rector of forgotten purpose this sheep should have had a throne and place In the gallery of Immortals, for almost eery day she discovered a gate left open ,an animal too sick to be out on the range, or some other little delln quency, and she promptly took steps to right matters.
