vine right of kings. which means that
God IN some mysterious way selects
certain men to rule over nations and
keep the people in some sort of condi-
ton of bondage. AS you know, we do
not believe in anything of that kind
now, and no king or ruler can claim
obedience from u.s. We make our own
laws and put our servants in charge of
things to see that those laws are OBJ
served.
81 am saying all this principally to
the younger children, continued the
young schoolteacher, "but it seems to
me Q good thing that some of us older
ones should stop and think about it
from time to time, so that we may real
lze how simple it is, and yet how i'm

We are proud to call Independence day,
IS the time of all times when we should
10 this, because on that day some of
our forefathers took their lives in their
hands and signed that declaration of
human rights which resulted in free
government. They were called traitors,
and in certain sense they were guilty
IF treason, but their treason was glo-
rious loyalty to the human race.
"And now what want the children
20 learn from all this is, first, that each
one of them is responsible for the good
government of this land. As they grow
DIP they have the duty of maintaining
the laws of their country. When they
are grown, they will have the response
bility of changing those laws in any
particular i'll which those laws are
wrong 1t is not enough for us to say
that the majority should rule. That is
perfectly true, but q single man or wom-
an who has the support of the Almighty
is in the majority. 1t was only hand
full of men who signed the Declaration
of Independence, but it afterward proved
that they were in the majority. And ii
has happened in the course of the history
of our government more than once that
few men and women have used theil
influence to change our laws, and by
continual effort have brought the entire
nation to see that they were right. And
so, while it is the first duty of an Amer
lean citizen to obey the laws, it is his
second duty to see that the laws are
what they ought to be. And that is the
true lesson of Independence day.

jubilant amusement are we'll in their
way. But the day should DO honored
far and wide by more formal and sys-
tematie observance 1t should be made
an occasion of the illuminating study
of ideals and principles which lie be-
hind it by our greatest writers and
speakers. That week should be specially
devoted by our schools to the inculca-
ton of the national idea by lecture and
other teaching. 1t is time for the PEN
dulum to swing back, even if it goes to
the old fashioned hyperbole. Better a
little American "hifalutin" than the
ice water of cosmopolitanism. The one
may be only soapsuds. but it fertilizes;
the other freezes and kills.

few days ago he met a fellow member

was good enough to say pleasantly: ~

While the minute men at Concord
drove the soldiers of King George back
again to Boston there was one clone
woman, Dame Batherick, who had
taken her own musket into the field
where she worked, but had not heard
the first sounds of battle.
1t was only when squad of flying
soldiers broke across her land that she
became aware of the situation. With
courage born of excitement she halted
them and actually drove them into the
hands of their pursuers.

In the 80 years that DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets have been sold, hundreds Of thou
sands of people have takert them, and have
been cured by them. There is no longer
any possible question of their efficacy.
They are the product of experience, tried
by time. They are intended to cure con-
stipation. They are good for men, wo-
men and children. They are tiny, sugar
coated granules, very easy to take, very
quick in their action. One Pellet" is
gentle laxative, two "Pellets mild
cathartic. A great many people make
the mistake of sandbagging their di-
gestive organs. They take some strong
and violent medicine, which creates
worse troubles than it cures. Strong
purgatives shock the system unnecessar-
lily, and they do not cure constipation.
Constipation is thing that makes peo-
pie lstless and languid; makes their
breath bad; wakes them up with foul
taste in their mouths; puts black spots
before their eyes; makes them dizzy;
causes headache makes them bilious !;
produces pimples and blotches-runs into
all sorts of serious consequences. All this
