Fourth of July. Yes, dear children do
not forget it. We shall expect to hear
your sweet, innocent voices, with the
mirthful and appropriate accompani-
ment of tin horns, brass kettles and
| firecrackers on the street tomorrow
morning about three O'Clock as usual.
Oh, these merry, childish voices! How
we would miss them ON i Jurth of July
morning! Some people may think
that they could worry along without
them-until six o'clock at least, but
they have never tried it and it is a
doubtful experiment. OF course, three
o'clock is the time we ordinarily lay
aside for sleep, but if it does your dear
little hearts any good to steal out at
] that particular hour, come on. 1t
wouldn't seem like home if you didn't.
| We have a tin horn of our own all tied
with red and white ribbons and sur
rounded by tender associations, which
we might lend you if you would prom
ice to bring it back with the ribbons
and the associations intact. You could
| tie OH blue ribbon to suit the day
no. that's not exactly what we mean.
WeSwere thinking of the calamity pic
mics which are going to be held. But,
you understand. Yes, children, to-
morrow is the Fourth of July. The
Lord bless and preserve you.
Prof. C.. o. Jones, of Burden, Kan,
has been in town the last week, i'm the
interests of the Supreme Lodge o. S.
F., auditing the Supreme Recorders
books. He furnishes US a few figures
which will speak for themselves con-
corning the phenomenal growth of the
Order. Twenty-four new lodges have
| been organized I'm the last six months,
and i'm that time the total membership
has increased from | ,j97 to = ,511 gain
of 9lI members. For the last six
months in 1890, the total receipts for
the general fund were S993.I6; for the
past six months, 81, 1907. For the
relief fund, the last half of 80 collect
ed 8, 1903 50; the past six months, So
O54.15. Death claims paid for the same
periods, 1890, 81 $3.50; 1891, S5,0Sj.50.
| 1t may convey some idea of the amount
of business done to state that the eX-
penditure of the Order for postage for
the past six month has been SlO0.OS.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Mcclure return
ed from their visit to Ohio last Sunday.
Mr.. Mcclure makes very encourage
ing report, both of agricultural Ohio
and of political Ohio. The Republic
cans, he says, are entirely confident of
success in the coming State election,
because the ignorance of the voters,
which defeated Mckinley last fall for
congress, has been in great degree
dispelled by year of political educa-
ton, and also of the dissensions in the
Democratic camp. In regard to crops,
he thinks that although the corn is
late this year the prospect for cropis
still very good, as they are not suffer-
ing from later rains "a we are. The
wheat crop is heavy. Mr.. Mcclure re-
ports that Jim" is doing well at the
timers and plumbers business in
TippecaDoe, and is regarded in that
city as their most reliable timer.
The other day Hank" Rice, of Fort
Scott, called at the bank of Geo. A.

ed as if it came from the street, called
out: "Bowlus! BOwlus" "What do
you want?" said b. "Send me out ten
dollars" said the voice. "Come in
and get it; / haven't anyone here to
send" said George. "Give it to Hank
Rice,n called the voice. Bowlus hand
ed ten dollar bill to Rice and said,
take it out to that blanked fool"
Rice took the money and going to the
but broad grin OH his OblOng face led
Bowlus to suspect a trick had been
played. KOuntZ was ventriloquist.
