led the way, followed by the three finest
equipge, to be had, in which sat the
aged revolutionary heroes. The veterans
marched next, and then came all kinds
of vehicles, from the heavy farm wagon
to the light buggy, containing the child
rem and the very old folks. All the 9TH
ers walked, and to the mixed time of the
band, made fine showing.
AT the grove the minister offered a
prayer, and then read the Declaration o!
Independence iE his finest voice. Next
came the orator of the day, who, of course,
took as his theme patriotism and the
great and growing country. Here is an
example of his style. 1t refers to the
signers:
behold those iron-hearted men armed
with dauntless valor and encased in a
panoply thai no human force could shat
ter. and In readiness for battle, stalk
boldly forward. and with one stroke of
the pen cause a vibration that shall only
cease to be felt when the universe returns
to primeval chaos. Then listen, in imag-
inatlon, to the vociferous and long-con-
tinued huZZas that rent the welSin. to
the boom of cannon and the universal
ringing OF church bells, which announced
to an intensely interested world the
never-to-be forgotten fact that indepeni-
ence OF kingly and monarchical tyranny
had been declared with trumpet tongue,
and would Aenceforth prevail and con-
quer, till every individual human being
would, and of right ought to be, forever
free
This was considered magnificent and

After the deluge of eloquence the joints
of beef, and other delicacies were at
tackled, and it was dusk when the feast
was over. Back in the village at MIG Mt
there were fireworks provided by the pol
itician. which were considered magniti-
cent. but which would be sneered at by
the average small boy of today.
Altogether this was ranked as the finest
Fourth of July celebration in the history
of the place, and a good many people
with tender ears and delicate nerves would
doubtless like to see the customs prevail
ing then, revived.

hungry citizen who had patiently been
waiting his turn. The war heroes OF the
Revolution and of 1872 were given first
chance at the provender and also the seats
of honor at the heads of the tables.
None of the ladies dined with the men.
It was not considered proper. They stood
in groups near the tavern, .gowned in
their best and making polite comments
on the diners. In the late afternoon.

there was ball in the public house and
it was here that the ladies really enjoyed
the day. They danced right merrily until
well on toward midnight, when the can
dies, the musicians and the dancers were
all exhausted. Hs1
In the 30's there was a change in the
method OF celebrating the Fourth. The
country was more prosperous, and its pa
triotism had taken a more vainglorious
turn. The town OF Newburg- on the Hud-
son gave great Fourth or July celebra-
tion in the year 1881. 1t was gotten up
by an am bilious tradesman who had con-
tracted the political fever, and desired to
represent his district in congress.
and after enlisting all the ladies of the
place IN the scheme he promised to
make good any amount that might be
needed after the townspeople had been
canvassed for contributions.
The ladies began the work weeks before
the Fourth. Committees were appoin ted
and each member was to cali upon GER

tions. One lady pomised to contribute

presents peaceful picture of hearty pa
triotism more in keeping with the real
sentiment of the event than the present
clustering fashion. For instance. here is
the way the people of Germantown, Pa.
celebrated the Fourth of July of 1878
There were three cannon in tho town
which had done service both in the Rev.
olution and in the War OF 1912. Several
days before the Fourth the ladies of the
place boiled hams, roasted sucking pigs
whole. baked pies by the dozen and bis.
cults by the hundred, made all manner
of cake generously filled with jam, and
on the morning of the great day deposit
ed the good things with the proprietor of
the best tavern of the town. 1t was the
province OF that important man to feed
all the men and boys OF the place and sur
rounding country with the provender
supplied ny their wives and daughters.
Huge tables. rough but solid. were set
on the village green, as there were no
buildings in those days large enough to
accommodate such a great congregation
of people. Early in the morning the
young men of the place had fired off the
cannons two or three times as official
notice that the Fourth of July had come
again. Powder was none too cbeap then
and it was needed for more practical pur
poses than making noise, so the salutes
were few in number.
At the noon hour the whole communi-
tyfof the town met at the green, where
mine host of the tavern had already
heaped up the tables with the goodthings
provided. There were speeches and n
prayer. and then the work of the day be-
gan. Benches were placed on all sides of
the tables. and the eaters sat as closely as
possible. There was not enough room

Several years ago, when Mr.. W. F..

was general passenger agent of the same
road, with headquarters at Topeka, Kan,
he had in his employ an office boy by the
name of W. ]. Young. He was an or

oluer brother, "bached' in a little room
of a house on the outskirts of the town.
He was very industrious. and often.

night, he would sleep on desk in the

by the first clerk who arrived in the
One day Mr.. White found carefully
written and sealed letter on his desk

the following brief communication:

STORIES FOR OUR LITTLE MEN AND WOMEN :

Furthermore, she said she would help set
the tables and give the use OF her silver
spoons and cake basket. This was a
prize contribution. Another lady whose
husband had already subscribed $40 prom
ised for the event six loaves of cake. six
dozen biscuits and also enough cut how-
ers from her garden to decorate the
tables. She also rendered the services of
her coachman for the day and the use
of her farm horses for conveying the pro.
visions to the banquet grounds, grove
about two miles from the village.
Powder was purchased by the ambitious
politician, and the village cannon was
shot off at regular intervals during the
morning of the Fourth. He also gave
small change to the boys of the town and
this was used to buy peppermint candy
and gingerbread. Firecrackers were ex-
pensive things then. and few boys cared
to indulge in the luxury of using them
even if they had the financial means.
In the morning all the people who had
promised provisions had them carried TO
the vestibule of the church. which was
used as depot on that day. The streets
leading to the church were tecming that
all carrying baskets filled with good
things. From the church they were
carted to the grove. There, from early
sunrise. young ladies and young men
were busy making and setting rude tables,
also a place for the orator of the day.
The latter had been invited from
neighboring town because of his wide re-
pute for Cloquence. He was a young
man, who wore his hair long.and affected
an artistic indifference to the common
affairs of life. He was also eccentric in
his dress, and in ordinary conversation
used nothing but the most ponderous
language. He was regarded as one of the
coming men of the day by the communi-
ty and himself.
At midday all the preparations at the
grove had been completed, and the peo-
pie gathered at the church for the grand
procession to the festive place. A band,
