Indigestion

is not only distressing complaint, of
L itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled. is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and Indigestion
made my life a burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton. and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until 1 commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rllla L could see an Improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life.''

The season for dances has begun, and
every young girl who has finished

the utmost when she glides over smooth
floors in the arms of some nice young
fellow to the enhancing strains of
Strauss and Waldteufel. A young girl
who is about to enter society is termed
''bud" because she is an undeveloped

One scarcely knows whether to smile or
sigh at the caricatures of the time. JEFF
ferson Davis, of course, figured in many OF
them, in all sorts of female toggery; many
an "orator of the day" referred to him in
savage language and many poet tried his
hand at satirical rhyme on the fallen chief
For many days before the papers abounded
in notices and exhortations and on the 9Th
and 9th the city dailies were filled with
elaborate reports, especially of the doings
at Gettysburg, where Gen. O. o. Howard
was the principal orator. 1t is not easy to
find any place which did not celebrate with
all its might on that day.
In 1870 there was another tremendous
outburst of popular enthusiasm, not so
easily accounted for as that of 1865, as that
was practically jubilee in two-thirds of
the states over the conclusion of the war.
In 1870 the most noted celebration, per-
haps, was that at Woodstock, Conn, which
was attended by President Grant, Gems.
Butler, Woodford and Hawley, Henry
Ward Beecher, Catacazy, the Russian min
ister and many other eminent men. The
celebration was universal, north and south,
east and west; the popular instinct seemed
to recognize that the year was one of Pc
culiar glory for the United States, all the
difficulties with England being in fair
way to satisfactory adjustment and all in
dustries apparently in a most promising
condition.
Since the war daily papers issue on July
5 the same as any other day, and all other
departments are reduced to their smallest
to make room for report of Independence
day. And yet, save for size and recent in
ventons, the ceremonies are identical with
those of hundred years ago. The thing
was done well at the start that even
Yankee ingenuity has found no way of inn
proving it, j. H. BEADLE.

first report eXtant of how they celebrated
the day would, with minor variations and
some ampliticati)n, do for last years re-
port. All the bells rang and whistles blowed
to usher in the day, the militia were out by
the middle of the forenoon, the survivors
of the war were given the place of honor
the aged and cripples in carriages-and the
cannon were fired once for each state; then
came dinner, and after that the Grafton and
few impromptu speeches.
Still more interesting it is that poetry
and sentiment have outdone fact in form
ing history. Independence was really
voted July I'd, instead of 4th, and the
much pictured incident of all the members
going up to sign in turn never happened.
Months passed before the roll of signatures
was complete; but the other view was
dramatic, it was far more inspiring, and
the people naturally preferred it. On the
18th of June Richard Henry Lee introduced
the resolution declaring that these united
colonies are and of right ought to be free
and Independent states" On the I'd of
July all the colonies voted for it except
New York. The delegates from that colony
were compelled to wait for instructions,
and 50 came in later. Some of the other
colonial delegations were not unanimous.
On the 4th the completed Declaration was
presented read and signed by President
John Hancock only.
And herein is IA mystery. That original
Declaration cannot be found, and it is an
open question whether it was lost or pur
posely destroyed. An engrossed copy on
parchment was laid before congress on the
I'd of August and signed by all the mem
bers present. How many then signed is
not known, but the signing went on for
Thomas Mexican, of Delaware, afterwards
testified that he did not sign it till January,
M He also made the astonishing state
ment that at least six whose names are at
tached were not members of congress in
July 1776, and that they signed the next
winter as a sort of test oath" When the
names had reached tifty-siX, engrossed cop
les We're sent to the state legislatures and
the signing was at an end.
All the same the names are to be honored.
John Adams thought the I'd of July would
be the day, and on the 3D. he wrote that sue
ceedng generations will solemn
ize it with pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, bonfires and illuminations
from one end of the continent to the other"
His prophesy has aided in working its own
fultillment. That is just the way the day
has been celebrated ever since, but the 4th
instead of the ID The racket" began at
once. There was an impromptu at Phila-
delphia on the afternoon and evening of
the 4th, and on the Sth formal ratitica-

On the 9th Washington received a copy

We're afterwards nodded into bullets. On
the 18th Col. Crafts read the Declaration to
"A vast crowd in front of Faneuil hall, Bos-
ton; all the batteries then roared together
for thirteen rounds and bonfires illumined

and the celebration started with the char

But our forefathers had one sort of fun
which we lack. The time was jocularly
called Tories Judgment Day." and no
matter how generally these gentry were

mosities to very serious extent.
Down to 1875 each state had its own flag,
and these were not entirely displaced till
long after the national flag of that year
was adopted. July 4, 1878, the present
American flag began its official existence,
and thenceforward all state and local flags
took an inferior place, and in many Sec

playing them at all. When, however, the

FOURTH OF JULY STORY BY MRS. NJ. c..
HUNGERFORD.

AT the railway station of certain insig
nifcant settlement beyond the Rockies
number of men were waiting the distrbu-
ton of the mail one bright day in April,
1889. There was no especial reason for eX
element; but the newly established fact of
a daily halt of the train and a postoffice of
their own was enough to attract the eX-
pectant as well as those to whom the re
ceipt of a letter would be a surprise
Among the scanty supply of letters
brought by the eastern mail was dainty,
square envelope addressed to Mr.. j. Lucas,
which the postmaster held up for admira
ton, with the remark that it would have
to go to its own funeral in the dead letter
Office, for there was no one of that name in
that part of the country.
Reckon it's for me-" said an elderly man
on crutches, moving slowly through the
curious crowd.
"Well, never thought Of your having
any name but Uncle jerry" said the post
master, handing him his property, but l
'spose you know best"
Mr.. Lucas laughed, then opened his let
ter and read it through. Boys" said he

and the masses were "enthused" accord
ingly.
From 1915 to 1850 or whereabouts, the
great event of the day appears to has e been
the "sham battle" 1t was a dangerous
amusement indeed. Whisky was very cheap
in the west, and no one dreamed of restrict
ing its sale on "big days." and when sew
eral hundred young men and boys got full
of patriotism and other excitements they
were not always careful to "aim high"
1.-THE British" did not always surrender on
time according to programme, and many a
veteran can remember how the "sham bat
tie" was followed by number of real ones.
The strangest fact to a journalist is that
the papers of those days gave such scanty
reports of Independence days doings.
Three or four "stick fulls," to the effect
or otherwise, are all one finds in most of
the journals; and in the same issue very
often was a page or two of "solid'' CIV
ing a recent speech by some member
of congress. The old files of The New
York Tribune for instance, are sur
prisingly meager The issue of July 4,
1919, contained no reference to the day;
but was full of exciting news from Cali
fornia. On the 9Th no Tribune was issued.
That of the 9th contained a bare mention
of the procession and speech, but several
columns about California and the cholera.
From the files of July, 1850, one might con-
clude that the people cared ten times as
much about Professor Webster's confession
of the murder of DR.. Parkman as about
the Fourth. The Washington letter. how
ever, contained an elaborate report of the
laying of the corner stone of the Washing
ton monument and the brilliant and
scholarly Grafton of Seward" OF the city
celebration the entire report filled less than
a column.
BY 1885 The Tribune had begun to make
feature" of the day. The. exhortations
to celebrate were badly spotted with poll
tics, and the issue of July 6 contained
nine column report of the "Oration of Ed
ward Everett at Dorchester, Mass" On
that Fourth President Pierce spoke briefly
at Cape May. In 1860 all the papers of the
country devoted considerable space to the
day; but it was in 1865 that the July jour
nal lowered out all at once in that gorgeous
garniture of words which we all look for
today. There were wonderful celebrations
almost everywhere. Every orator of note
in the country was engaged far in advance,
and the Americans in London, Paris, Mex
leo city and various South American capt.
tails rejoiced with exceeding great joy and
an immense amount of noise.

shall be saved, If I die for it." He dashed
awful moment the spectators waited. Then
with a crash the roof fell in on one side,
cutting off the stairs. But Jack was seen
the next instant at the window by the doc
tor. Some of the men were strapping two
short, light ladders together with frantic
haste and steadying them against the wall,
where they nearly reached the window.
They shouted to Jack cheerily, flinging him
a rope, which he was seen to fasten around
the other mans waist. He lowered him to
the top rounds, then stood quietly waiting
for him to descend the ladder, which would
hardly bear the weight of two, swinging
himself out while the flames, which had
burst into the room, seemed to chase him,
he dropped upon the ladder. AS his feet
touched the ground a crowd of men sur
rounded him, all eager to clasp his hand.
But they fell back to make a way for Mrs.
Lane, who ran up with pale face and eyes
shining like stars in the early light. There
were eloquent words on her tongue, but
not one could she speak. She could only
put her two little hands in his and gaze up
at his sad, honest eyes, with big tears fall
ing from her own.
1t was hard moment for Jack, and to
relieve his embarrassment he murmured:
Il was 50 glad to be in time to get him
down safely for you"
For my sister, that means. You know
he is my only sisters husband"
"Then he is not the one you are engaged

that you are!' said Daisy retreating in

Poor little laddie; what became of himS"
'He was sent to boarding school while
the money. lasted; then that went, just as
orphans money generally does go, and the
fellow was left to shift for himself He
had rather a rough time for while, but
he came out west and struck luck in pros
pecting before he was very old"
ooh, is he old:" said the listener blank
ly.
''Oh, no, not really. but he feels kind of
old and forlorn Sometimes, when he hears
other fellows talking about their mothers
and sisters, and-wives," he finished very
softly
poor fellow!" said Daisy pitifully.
Eyes, he is poor kind of fellow" pur-
sued Jack humbly, with no education or
bringing up, or anything to recommend
him to a woman, except just a whole heart
full of love for her, and-and-oh, Mrs.
Lane, it's myself Pm talking about, and /
know ! can have no chance with you"
And poor Jack, in an agony of shame and
fear that his avowal had lost him even the
merest liberation from the lady of his love-
rushed from the room. If he had been com
posed enough to take one look, he might
have gathered hope from the bright blush
that suffused Daisy's face and the tender,
happy light that sprang TO her eyes.
The beautiful color had not left her face
before Mordaunt's soft, well modulated
voice at the door sought permission to
leave for Lily pretty, scented grass cradle

drawing of my own" he told Mrs. Lane
with a smile, that brought out all the I'M
common beauty of his face. Daisy resisted
an impulse to decline his gift, because it
would be such pleasure to Lily, so she
thanked him prettily and expressed her
admiration for the ingenious toy. Then
the conversation drifted on, till at last he
mentioned Jacks name, looking steadily
at her as he did so, and catching look OF
interest that Infatuated him. Jack seems
very solemn lately, but that's natural for a
fellow situated like him."
