anxious public "that there are GASES in the
desert of monotonous life" but fails to state
how life can be monotonous with an OASIS
here and there in its desert He then goes
on to tell all about barbecue and celebra-

at which three hundred to five hundred per-
sons were present. There was an Grafton,

ton of independence, and the youthful

he didn't burst eloquence wide open, for
some other Young orator will vast some
next Fourth OF July. But what we want to
arrive at was how the celebration of the
Fourth of July could be 80 infinitely describ-
in paper of j une 80.
