Fourth Of July adopted the Declaration of
Independence. Gov. Hancock wcc C2::as,
tanning Il large company. when servant
let fall Il cut glass epergnc, dasliing it into
Il dozen pieces, and mahilg terrific
| crash. There was moment of embar-
| rassed silence, then the host relieved the
company by remarking cheerfuly:
james, break as much as you ple6ac,
but don't make such Il confounded noise
about it."
The noise of the small boy on the Fourth
confounds the most patriotic soul, but on
that one day he is given the freedom Of
the city-or he takes .it-and his elders re-
tire to a safe distance from his ear-split-
ting patriotism.
1t is only 120 years since the Fourth
was established, and the most wonderful
era in the history of the world dawnel III
America; when the Old Liberty bell rung
out the glad tidings to the people of a dis
enthralled land, and the declaration was
made which spake to the world Of pos.
terty in thunder tones:
I'VE hold these truths TO be self-evi-
dent: that all men are created free and
equal; that they are endowed ~ their
Creator with certain inalienabie rights,
among which are life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness"
The new Liberty bell is essentially an
American product; but the old bell was
cast in London. and the order for it was
sent year before it was received in this
country. At last ii came, in 1852, and be-
fore it was landed from the ship that
brought it, hundreds of people went to in
spect il, and rejoice in its coming. 1t
was all that had been expected, but an
accident ruined its clear tone and mutilat-
ed it so badly that it had to be rccast.
Isaac Norris, Esq, speaker of the colo
nial assembly, was given the superin-
tendence of the task, and TO him is as
cribed the honor of having originally sug-
gested the motto: proclaim liberty
throughout the land, and to all the inhab-
itants thereof" The reason of the break
ing of the first bell was that it was too
brittle, and its tone was too high and
shrill. But the new bell was considered
perfect. and mounted on its PEDESTAL in
the old state house at Philadelphia, it
rung in the birth of freedom on July I,
1116, and its reverberation still echoes in
the hearts OF Americans everywhere.
The old State house bel-time-hallowed bell
Thy magic tones were first to tell
IN thunder peals, nation free!
For fifty years the bell of freedom kept
the national jubilee Then it cracked,
and became silent
In the New England States the Fourth
of July is celebrated with greatest arior.
Cannon are fired at sunrise, and the ring
ing of bells, the swapping and cracking of
trecrackcrs, and the shouts OF the juve-
niles make noise that is dcafcning. but
welcome. Later in the day there is
meeting of the military, and the bearing of
flags and beating of drums add TO the
glory OF the spectacle. Picnics are at

Upon the Yakima reservation is
an Indian doctor who cures all the
ills to which the aborigines are
heir. He is whole system of
medical philosophy and drug store
combined. He came down to
Pendleton the other day, says the
East Oregonian, especially to treat
Paul Shoaway. Shoaway is the
real chief of the Cayuse tribe, and
his people recognize this fact.
There is not much in the chieftain-
ship business now, and so he does
not assert his rights. But they
want him to fully recover, and so
they sent up to Yakima for an
Indian doctor This Indian doc
tors method is as simple as the
nature of the child of the forest,
and consists only of doing this
He applies his mouth to spot on
the body directly over the heart, if
the heart is affected, and by suction
power, draws from the body all the
deleterious substance which causes
the disease. If the arm is lame, he
applies this suction to the part
affected, and draws out the pain
and the disease. Paul enthusi-
astically declared that no one could
fail to recover when treated by this
Yakima doctor, and he expects
soon to be as we'll as ever. Once
recovered, said Paul, II will never
again drink whisky. There's
nothing in it"

An Eastern Oregon paper says a
man who chewed 90 cents worth
of tobacco in a week concluded to
try the tobacco cure. In two
weeks he ate up $I.5o worth of the
cure and for the next two weeks he
used 10 cents worth of candy, s
cents worth of chewing-gum, s
cents worth of peanuts and S cents
worth of cough drops per day.
During these two weeks he also
consumed two large rubber erasers,
ate the rubber tips from IA lead
pencils, chewed up dozen pen
holders and browsed off his mustache
as high up as he could reach. He
is now chewing tobacco again in
the interest of economy.
