FOURTH oFJULY ELoQ QUENcE.


The Burlington Ha7Okeys man7-Bob
Burdette-burst out of his sanctum on
the Fourth and desolated suburban
town with an Grafton, from which we
quote;
4 Il And we rejoice to day, and
are proud and happy and glad, glad,
glad, that our fathers died for us instead
Of compelling us to die for them. They
were great, grand men. In fact, they
were, many of them, great grandfathers.
1t is sweet to die for ones country. 1t
seems to me that |, too, would gladly, oh
how gladly, add my name to the list of
the great and good, and die for my
country-of old age. would die sooner
if it was thought necessary, but | haven't
got time. am too busy. But if any
sacrifices are needed next centennial they
may call on me, and will either come
or send a hand.
Our fathers died for us. They died
willingly and gladly, But if they could
come back to day and see whatklnd of
crowd they died for, quanelling over the
Presidents policy, wrangling over the
currency and some of them trying to pay
dollar worth Of debt with ninety cents
worth of money, talking politics twenty
three hours day and praying SO seldom
that our knees get rusty, drowned out by
rain, devoured by grasshoppers, they
would, if they had it to do over again,
live nine thousand years and only die
then when they had to.
And yet ours is a glorious country. A
wonderful, magnificent country, 1t is
marvellous AS a high school girl would
say, it is mice" Look abroad over our
land, turn the pages of history, and see
what the mighty genius of progress has
wrought. But one short century ago the
corner stone Of this mighty fabric was
laid, amid the thunder of cannon and the
rattle of musketry, canoped by the
smoke ofbattle and cemented with blood.
A little band of struggling needy patri-
OTIS, half clad, poorly fed, with only a
few dollars in the national Treasury. To
day the sun of one hundred and one years
breaks upon the land-wheneyer it isn't
storming-and where do we stand? A
billion dollars in debt,
The Fourth of July was invented by a
man whose name is dear to all American
{ hearts-George w. Washington. BY an
| ingenious arrangement the Fourth oi
July was so contrived by the inventor
that it would always fall on rainy day
1t has missed it only once in the past
, twelve hundred years, and on that once
: it hailed all day, The fourth of July wa:
not the only invention of this great ant
good man. He invented name tha

generation in America. A grateful peo'
! pie never forgets the fact, and Washing
. ton, when at the zenith of his power, was
nominated by acclamation for the capita
of the United States. Washington was
once discovered praying at Valley Forge

incident by all historians, it is judgeC
that it was the only time anybody evel

BRUTAL REVENGE.
One Man Assaults Another and is Killed
by the others Son.

The statements concerning brutal and
fatal affair which occurred at Sharon, Pa,
on the Fourth, are furnished by persons

1t is said that Miss McKilvery, daughter
of prominent iron merchant of Sharon

frightened her horse in some wanton

her father, who at once lost his temper,
and subsequently his life He went dir
rectly in search, of Mr., Bell, and meeting
him on the street, struck him, knocking
him into neighboring drug store, through

very contemplating the broken window,
and probably also the excursion Of MIR.
Bell through the same. Young Bell ran
into the store, seized an iron scale weight
