the booming of gun in the harbor. or II

As among our own native born popula.'

the bad--so it is with the people who
come from other shores-thcrc are the
law abiding and the lawless The former
are welcome here. The more of them the
better we like it. But Let not the lawlcss
come from other shores expecting to break
down our sabbath and institute in the
place of 1t II foreign Sabbath.
How do you feel, yo who have been
brought up amid the hills of New Eng

up. We mean to defend it as long as there
is left any strength in our arm or blood

Sabbath here. Do not bring your, Italian
Sabbath hero. Do not bring your French
Sabbath here. Do not bring your foreign
Sabbath here. 1t shall be for us and our
children forevera pure, consecrated, Chris

vehicles in Paris of whatever sort had
turned out for the holiday. The Champs
Elysees one great mob of pleasure seek

streets. Punch and Judy shows in n score
of places each one with shouting audi
