FOURTH OF JUICY

We put him to bed in his little nghtgown.
The worst battered youngster there was in the
town,
Yet he said ne opened lbs only we'll eye,
"'Rah. 'rah, for the Jolly old Fourth Of JulyT
Two thumbs and eight fingers with lint were
tied up
On his head was bump like an upside down
cup.
And his smile was distorted. his nose all awry
From the joys OF the glorious Fourth of July.
We were glad; he had started abroad with the
sun.
And all day had lived In the powder and fun,
While the boom of the cannon roared up to the
sky
To salute Young Americas Fourth OF July.
! said were glad all the pieces were there.
As We plastered and bound them with tender
est care.
But out OF the wreck came the words, with q
sigh.
If tomorrow was only the Fourth of July!"
He will grow all together again. never fear.
And be ready to celebrate freedom next year.
Meanwhile all his friends most thankful
there lies,
Julya
We kissed him good night on his powder
specked face.
We laid his bruised hands softly down In their
place
And he murnured, as sleep closed his one open
eye.
Il wish every day was the Fourth OF July."

striking out of some of his most cher

calm, and when the author of the Dec

him to laughing mood by his story of
John Thompson, hatter.
Thompsul., .said Franklin. being about
to move into much larger and finer

with gold, brilliant pigments and lus-
trous varnish Upon this sign there APP

was Thompson of his sign that he asked
in the neighbors to view his new glories
Very pretty" said one. but you don't
make hats for cash" What do Your
customers care whether YOU make them
or not, SO long as the goods suit their
taste Get your people in first and
tempt them. don't drive them off with

INDEPENDENCE DAY.


something ABOUT the Men Who Signed
the Declaration.
In all human history there is no record
OF nobler body of men than those who
sat in the first Continental congress-
who appended their signatures to the
immortal Declaration of American indie
pendence, and who amid the storm Of
passion aroused by the attitude of Eng
land toward her colonies in America
could so calmly weigh each word of that
great paper as originally presented,
adopt this, alter or omit that Yet, as
SO often happens III human affairs, even
that fateful meeting was not without its
ludicrous side.
MIR. jefferson in his old age was fond
OF telling how vote was reached and
the signatures secured on the Declaration
at so early day as the Fourth of July,
100 Notwithstanding the opposition Of
Dickinson and other members, who it
was feared would keep the matter in de.
bate for weeks, if not for months.
1t seems that the weather was fright
fully hot, the hall small and crowded
10 sit with closed windows was limos
siDle; to open them was to admit swarms
OF ravenous flies from a livery stable
next door, which flies alighting on the
SILK stockinged shIns of the honorable
gentlemen drove them almost to dis
traction. The needful business was by
no means sighted; but the feeling among
all the members of getting away from
tile heat and from the torment of those
Dreadful flies was too strong to permit Of
moments unnecessary delay.
All felt the gravity Of such an occa-
sion. The signing of such paper was
treason; the appeal to arms of those
poor. weak and widely scattered colo
mes with little cohesion, and all more
or less infested by men who preferred to
accept any terms from England rather
than break the connection with the
mother country: an appeal to arms
against the most powerful nation in the
world, was not thing to be lightly done.
Even Franklin's celebrated jest was a
grim one. All hal been settled. and the
signing OF the paper was about to begin
when some one gravely remarked,
well, we must hang together, now"
Yes" replied the laughing philoso-
pher, IF we do not we shall very GER
tainly all hang separately"
The picture as drawn by jefferson Of
the close of the congress is certainly
very amusing. In those days men were
much more formal with other men than
are We of today. To attend such a
meeting as was the American congress
the gentleman's valet combed and drew
back the long hair. tied it with a bow Of
ribbon to match the coat to be worn.
and covered it thickly with perfumed
powder; then helped to put on his masters
coat of silk or satin, often of brilliant
hue, and nearly always more or less en-
broldered, buckled on the always worn
rapier, handed him his laced hat and
called his coach. The low shoes orna.
mented with buckles, the silken hose.
