cliff Well, I've kept watch OF It, and
the young birds are just getting sc
they sit out on the edge of the shell
and flap their wings little. What dc
you say if we catch one of 'em, put
! him in a stout box and send him to the
director general of the worlds fair
with a note reading something like
this: Dear Sir: Please accept Fourth
of July contribution to the worlds
| fair, sent by four Rhode Island boys.
| Long may the American eagle wave
no, screaml Yours truly. Willie
Hills, Charlie Graham, Dick Pond,
Archie Pond How would that sound
-eh?"
The boys broke from each others
embrace and danced around like wild
Indians.
"Gloriousl" cried Willie Hills.
"Splendid" cried Charlie Graham.
"Immenser' cried Dick Pond.
"Well, meet Dick and me here at
eight o'clock, them" said Archie.
"And mind you don't say word about
the scheme to anybody. There's just
the rope we want upstairs here in I'm
Gle Williams barn, and there's stout
little basiet-chair withoutany legs for
the fellow to sit on who goes down the
cliff for the eagle"
At fifteen minutes past eight that
morning, the four boys stole down the
back stairs of Uncle William Ponds
barn, with the following articles in
their possession: Ninety feet of rope,
legless willow armchair, a big
United States flag-used for draping
public halls; rusty old sword without
a scabbard, and an empty canvas meal
sack. They snealsed across the garden
and the pasture, keeping the barn be-
tween themselves and the house. Then
they crossed the road and took path
through the woods and up the rocky
slope which eliminated in Bryant's
cliff
II don't believe there are five fell
lows in town who know about that
eagles nest" said Archie Pond.
Nor 1, either" replied Willie Hills.
81 shouldn't have known anything
about it if you hadn't told me-"
THAT was splendid idea of yours,
to take the flag along and hang it
across the shelf where the nest is,"
cried Archie. Wont it look pictur-
esque, though, and patriotic! If uncle
could only see it, 1 know he wouldn't
scold."
When the boys reached the cliff,
they hid the things which they had
brought with them and took good
view of the surrounding country, to
make sure that no one was in sight.
Only the white steeples of the two
village churches could be seen gleam-
ing over the treetops. There were no
houses in the vicinity, and, as it was
the great national holiday, no hay
makers were at work in the meadows
beneath the cliff. II guess the coast
is all clear" said Charlie Graham. Just

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

'Ohi I'd like to make racket,
And get off my Sunday jacket"
Said the jolly little cracker OF the pack,
"For to sizzle am signing,
And to whizz through space a-hying,
Is the exercise that most surely lack"
"Ohl want some punk and crackers,
Just the loudest kind of whackers,'
Said a merry little fellow, bright and gay,
'For 1 long to see them fizzing,
And to send them of a-whizzing,
Just to scare the girls as they go by to-day.
So the two, they came together,
In the pleasant July weather,
Both the jolly little cracker and the boy;
And the one, he made a racket,
While the other burned his jacket,
But to both 1t was day of keenest Joy.

THE WANDERERS RETURN.
In His Absence His Parents Had Under.
gone a Change.

gone Change.
Twenty-Five years ago boy went for
a pint of milk. He hid the can beneath
stone, directed his course to the near
est wharf, shipped as a cabin boy and
went to sea. Years went by and he
was given up for dead. But he wasn't
dead; he was amassing vast wealth--a
common thing, by the way, with sail
ors. The other day he returned, found
the can where he hid it, procured q
pint of milk, and, going to his boy
hoods home, entered and said:
Father and mother, here's your
milk"
He was given a warm welcome, but
he noticed that there was change in
his parents appearances; they had not
the old familiar look. He questioned
them and explanations followed,
through which, though they were still
his parents, the change in their ap-
pearance was accounted for. Shortly
after his departure from home his
father died and his mother married
again; then his mother died and his
new father married again. Thus on
his return he found the old home as he
left it, the only difference being that
he had new father and mother. Yer

glow of satisfaction from within, as
the old brass cannon belched forth its
unearthly roar at three o'clock on the
morning of the glorious Fourth of
July. The air was full of patriotism,
so full that it was as impossible for
the moderate patriots to sleep as it was
for the extreme patriots to keep still.
Cannons, horns, firecrackers, torpedoes
and hoorays made the well1in ring.
All the boys of Riverton We're out in
force. For the next twenty hours
there would be premium on noise.
Think of that, from boys standpoint!
Gould there be much better substi-
tute for Paradise?
Archie and Dick Pond. Charlie Gra-
ham and Willie Hills were at the same
time the happiest and the noisiest
boys in town; for they had the forty
pound brass cannon which belonged
to Uncle William Ponds dismantled
yacht. This venerable piece of artil-
lery was not one of the modern breech-
loading yacht cannons, but rather
clumsy, old-fashioned muzzle-loader,
which had seen actual service in the
great ''oyster war" It.was more than
fifty years old, and was one of the
first brass cannons made for an
American yacht. But it was the
largest cannon in Riverton, and for
Fourth of July purposes was the envy
of every boy within five miles.
Wasn't that screamer!" exclaimed
Archie Pond, delightedly, as the last
reverberation of old Brass Betty"
fhau na11al how ,aI
startled air.
''Oh! wasn't itr cried the other boys.
''And did You see how far she kicked
back--more than three feet!"
''It was the wadding that did it,"
said Willie Hills. Lets put in whole
Gazette next time, and ram it down
for leeps!'
Eyes, and we'll touch her off under
Principal Mason's window. He can't
say anything, seeing it's Fourth of
July; and l should just like to make
him jump once!"
So the boys went on their patriotic
and impartial rounds, never touching
off Brass Betty" in the same spot
twice, but giving every person whom
they didn't particularly like free
thrill of enthusiasm at the return of
another anniversary of independence.
BY the time the sun came up the last
grain of their ten pounds of powder
was gone.
What let's do the rest of the day?''
asked Charlie Graham, as the boys
were about to separate at Uncle Will
liam Ponds barn and go home to
breakfast.
Lets do something real patriotic!'
exclaimed Willie Hills. That's the
way ! feel to-day. l want to just
whoop it up for the old stars and
stripes, some way! Hooray for the
red, white and blue! Three cheers
one-two--"
The boys pulled off their caps and
cheered with all their might. The
shrill tiger" set off some other boys
down the street, and they still others,
until there was perfect contagion OF
cheering all through Riverton, like the
growing of cocks at dawn.
Lets do something that'll be patri-
otic," suggested Archie Pond. "Oh!
I'll tell you'll" His face frightened and
his eyes shone, as he put his arms over
the other boys shoulders, and drew
them all into listening circle "You

An OBJECT LESSON.

Two wears ago John \ " odson. a
man who had no other fault than that
he was a free trader. was a prosperous
sheep man of Meagher county. and had
accumulated splendid ranch property
and a large interest in a sheep firm. OF
which he was virtually the head. Wood,
son sought and it was a creditable am.
bitionj 10 increase his fiocks, and so do
ing. incurred considerable Indebtedness,
He would have pulled out Of his indebt-
edness in good shape. but last year along
came an old Ounce named Cleveland,
with an object lesson in free trade, which
he applied to the particular industry in
which Woodson was engaged.
The result Of the matter is shown in
the following item from the Rocky
Mountain H~usbandman Of this week:
At the sheriff's sale Of John \. Wood.
sons sheep, Monday last. one band was
purchased by Spencer. Mayne a Heit-
man at II 80 der head and the other by
DIR. Parberry at 500 per head.
An average Of sl.sO per head Of sheep
Just before ~lambing. and with nine
months wool on them. as against $50
for sheep just after shearing two years
ago. marks the difference between the
actual results under the Mckinley law
and the ruin brought about by the eH-
ploded theories of a false prophet.
Cleveland prophesied the Blessings Of
free wool: Woodson believed it, Both
were wrong. We sympathize with
Woodson in the present calamity. Wall
street and Great Britain will take care
of the other fellow.-Benton River Press.

4 BAD

For some weeks past it has been the
fashion with the democratic press OF the
country. whenever a factory or mill or
other industrial enterprise started up.
after months of enforced idleness. to hal
the smoke from the chimneys as banners
on which were blazoned a vindication of
the democratic policy and harbingers of
the return Of the prosperity which the
application of hat policy had driven
from the land.
While il becomes no man or party IN
this land of immense possibilities 70 be
come a pessimIst. still II is safer TO look
at things in their true light. and when
this great awakening of the industrial
world so brazenly announced by the
democratic t%rumpeters. is critically ex-
amined by the impartial eyes of a non
partisan authority in such matters. we
fad a very discouraging state of affairs,
Dun's R,view for the week ending
March LIT thus explains these spas
modic res lmptions in manufacturing
circles:
Week by week it is found possible by
an increasing number OF concerns TO
pevive production with a general range
of prices the lowest ever known. Asold
stocks give out. orders for replenishment
are first for cheaper goods than have be-
fore been chosen. traders therein repre-
senting consumers who are compelled or
desire to live more cheaply. Then the
quantities ordered are so much smaller
than the industries have been accustom-
ed 10 supply. and so far below the capac-
ity of the works. that the competition
drives prices in each grade down to or
below actual cost. squeezing out prohts
and forcing down wages. Yet the profits
and the wages are the fund from which
future purchases for consumption must
be made. 1t is under such conditions
that more works are going into opera
ton. many with a doubt how long they
will be able to operate. Thus the meas
ure of resumption by works or hands or
hours of labor is 10 a measure OF the
revival in business. either as TO quaint
ty or values Of goods distributed. Prices
of commodities are this week on the
whole the lowest Of which there is any
record. having decliued L. per cent III
March. and averaging lib per cent lower
than a year ago so that more a third oi
the decrease in volume Of all payments
is due to decline in prices Of things con
sumed.

E1. President Harrison's remarks
on the assassination Of President
Carnot are timely. There are too
many evidences abroad, in the midst
Of civilization to. day, Of the spread
Of the doctrine that the end justi-
6es the means. The natural conse.
quence is that bad men put the
doctrine in practice Tor the very
worst ends. Strict respect for law
and lawful methods il the best anti
dote against anarchy. That Mr..
Harrison's advice is needed has had
illustrations in Hawaii. A startling
instance has lately been given, in the
tacit approval Of shotgun politics in
the South, by citing it as . parallel
whereby to justify minority rule b,
force in these islands. This, too
has been out Of the mouths Of ,
class that claims to possess pecu
lisrly friendly sympathies for tn,
lowly peoples Of the earth.
