der's pandemonium is upon us, and 1t IS
hoped everybody win celebrate and enjoy
the suspicious day with all the patriotism
in their hearts and pockets. The anniver-
sary of the day that cost our ancestors so
much blood, priyation and pain to ftfnlly
celebrate by the PRONUNCIATION of the Dec
laration of Independence should be reyered
by the whole American people, and IN
order that Young America may become
more enthused withpatriotic thoughts and
feelings he should be allowed a great deal
of consideration in the celebration Of the
occasion-as long Is he sticks to Jackson
crackers and fire works and doesn't monkey
with the fatal tOy-pistol.
All of US were boys Onec-that Is, those
who were not girlS-and re shot oil"
more craekers-bOth in tie Legitimate way
and by tying them to dogs tails-than the
youth of to-day does, and yeta an attempt Is
mad. to take this American-bOrn privilege
from him. BOYS, YOU should strike against
such reduction in your fun. It's pretty
tough if YOU are not allowed the sacred
privilege of putting q Jackson cracker I'M
der the chair of your pater familias while
no is asleep and Il HIN to
think he had inadvertently sat
down upon a live and kicking powder
magazine; indeed i is. But, OF course,
YOU can do that on the sly and the police
will not see you. You may have an OPP
pOrtunity also OF attaching a pack to some
dogs eaudal appcndagc, but be sure and
perform the operation in an alley or some
out of the way spot. Such innocent
amusements as these are al right, but be
careful Of your fireworks about property
and horses, or you may do ~irreparable
damage.
The older folks are in a dilemma as to
whit day they shall celebrate, as the
Fourth comes on Sunday. Well, let us
