had done too much OF \ good thing. II
lost the second The frst. which VIII
mington on by score Of TO z, was a
well played, interesting game from star t
to finish. Amole and Frye, the opposing
pitchers, broke even as to hits, each Civ
ing ten. Each club made two errors
also, and It was simply by superior base
running that Wilmington won.
The second game was disastrous fall
down for the local team. Mcintyre
pitched and though the New Hsven's got
but four hits off him, they made them
count for ten runs because OF four errors
that gave them the game Wilmington
got but one hit of Smith, aud the fact
that It made seven runs was due to rapid
base running, helped out By two errors
In this game but seven innings were
played on account Of rain.

portant Part In n Fight.
Most men can remember when nroornck.
ers were blssful excitement. Now, for
the most part, they think Of them ms q
kind Of indispensable nuisance--noisy,
more or less dangerous, but needful, once
year, TO the happiness Of patriotic boys.
But Major S. b. Pillsbury never passes q
Fourth Of July without recalling a day
when q few 6recrackers saved his life
This was how 1t happened:
In 1869 / was in southwestern Kansas
with surveying party. had been sent
back to our supply station, some 30 miles
distant, and was returning with two well
laden pack mules and young half breed
Indian boy when band Of rowing Apaohes
swooped down upon me.
There were n dozen in the party, but
knowing that surrender meant certain
death prepared to make such defense as
could Right in front of me were two
large cottonwood trees.
had fine rifle and LARGE fowlinp
piece, and put a charge of buokshot in
each barrel of the fowling piece and re.
served IL for tho rush. The bucks, well
mounted and armed, began circling around
me, shielding themselves behind theil
horses and firing rapidly.
My first and second shots were fortu
nate, and the survivors retired to q safe
distance and held powwow. felt sure
that they would make rush, and that Il
they did they would get me. Something
must be done
In the packs were dozen punches o.
flrecrackors, intended for our modest
Fourth of July celebration. 1 cut tht
fuses short and lit fire with twigs ant
dry grass.
The rush cameo led with my rifle ant
threw the crackers into the fire. Then
fred both barrels Of buckshot into tht
| Apaohes, and the crackers set up a roa
like n platoon of musketry. The indiana
were astounded, and, dividing to right ant
left, went by me like the wind.-Youth'

Fourth of July Dignitaries.

There is the man who reads the Decla-
ration of Independence. He is usually the
schoolmaster, with an oyerawing sense of
his own Importance as such. Tremendous
ly at his ease terror inspiring in his school,
he gets stage fright before an audience OF
grown people and begins, "When In the
course of human events" with a half
scared squeak in his voice and tremor in
his legs, which excite in about equal parts
the merrimont and sympathy of the audit
ors. There,is the man who manages the
parade and who wears sash so huge that
its dimensions seem a carioature on his
own size; no one on the grounds so i'm
portant as he, and when he rides through
the gate at the head of the parade with a
big drum laundering, the trombone bray
ing and the other instruments squealing
and shrieking just behind his mortally
frightened horse he feels that "to be a
marshal is greater than to be king" and
is half prepared to admit, II any one
should venture the statement, that the
Fourth of July WAS created for his especial
behoof. f.-Exchange.

WASHINGTON AND THE FLAG.
He Bowed Low Before the First One and
Caressed Its Bright Folds.

He Bowed Low Before the First One and
Caressed Its Bright Folds.
The credit for Old Glory must be divided
between George Washington and Betsy
Ross. Washington asked for flag designs,
and Betsy Ross competed and won the
prize. Washington did not wholly like
the first plan she submitted, so acting up.
on his suggestion she took the strips Of red
and white and sewod them together again
until she had it ready to show him. In
one corner she put the white stars which
the Father Of His Country said looked
"like white light in Gods blue sky"
Washington made plan up, l a sheet of
paper in Betsy Ross little back parlor in
a very plain house in Philadelphia and
Mrs. Betsy worked faithfully to carry out
the idea. When she had it nearly DONE
she showed it to him, asking, as this ac-
cording to your cxcellcncy's ideal" And
Washington said it was and "flt for this
new Union" Then he bowed low before
1t, clapping his hands for joy and caressing
It's bright folds.
Three million of Betsy Ross flags are
now made every year in the United States.
A few of these go over the water to Amer.
leans abroad, and a large number go I
private citizens, but after all the flags Z,
public buildings have been deducted from
the whole number there remain 1000, 00O
to be accounted for. And this can only be
done by allowing enough patriotism to the
small boy to admit of his burning them
up and wearing them out on the Fourth
of July.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Small Boys Day.

1t ls probably useless to sigh for the good
old style Of celebration, for the conduct of
affairs on this day as we'll as upon most
other days has been relegated to the small
boy, and the average small boy Is far from
being one of the noblest works Of creation
on the Fourth of July or on the fourth day
of any other month in any other year The
only consolation in the case Is that as he
goes forward into manhood minus leg,
arm, hand or eye ho may look back with
some degree of regret at his own breezy
idiocy and discourage the hideous Mon
golian ceremony with which young Amer
leans express their gratitude over the re-
turn of the glorious day.-Chioago Trib'

He would be rash man who should say

doubt natures deep as his and various al.

be sounded only by the Judgment of men

some things We all may see and judge con-

could be.-PrOfessor Wilson in Forum.

The University of Virginia, the first to

which it was originally designed, almost
q century ago by Thomas Jefferson. 1t
will be remembered that in October, 1895,
the university buildings were damaged by

most was that grand old rotunda, which
has been an ancient landmark, visible for
many miles around Charlottesville
