she wouldn't let me go out the door,
an all the boys were a hootin' an
yellin' an firm off amemition like
sixty,
| thought sure she'd let me go after
breakfast but she looked at me stern
like. an said: Johnny, you must stay
in doors fur your father said fur me to
keep you right to home, an I'm goin'
to do my duty by you an keep you right
under my eye"
Perhaps you don't know my gran ma
Is one o. them sort thet never remem-
hers bein' young! Yes, she forgot long
ago that Fourth O. July was made for
picnics an good times. She's also one
o. the kind tibet never goes back on
their word, so eryin' kiclsin' nor moth
in would do no good, an make her
change her mind enc bit. but l sot
down and cried. first an orful mad sort
Of a cry, then an orful sorry cry. an
then | got to sleep an woke up most

bowl o. bread an milk. fur the girl was

longest day I'd ever 'sperienced!
When ma come home, the next week,
jest told her all about it. an she felt
so bad fur me tibet she almost cried,
then she went right to the buttery an
brought me big lot o fire crackers an
things she got a'fore she went away
you know mothers never forgit a fell
lers wants. She told gran'ma all about
EN-: but she forgot-she's got such a
good forgettery.
OF course, 'twa'nt best to let me
know bout EN- fur I'd likely used 'em
up 'afore time. But | went an got the
neighbor boys over, If twas the 18th of
July, an we he'd a jolly time; fur
mother made lemonade an cake an
ice cream-tell you | 'preciate mothers

You see father wrote fur her to

him to jog gran mas memory bout the
Fourth of July amemition up In the
buttery! but he forgot 10 say anything
about it.
Huh! / guess those old forefathers
knew what they was about when they
pinted day fur boys TO make a big
noise! 'Spect we boys couldn't stand il
if we couldn yell all we wanted to one

A GENTLEMAN OF '76.

He cut gallant figure
In bonnie buff and blue;
A goodly sight his buckles bright,
And primly powdered queue!
A more courageous quester
Meier served Sultan nor Shah
Than he, my brave ancestor,
My Observation-Disclosures!
And then in his citation
Did my forefather gay
Speak out the word he'd long deferred
For fear she'd say him Nay"
And when he saw how tender
Within her eyes the light.
He cried:-"In your surrender
l read-we win the fight!'
And when the freedom-paean
Swept, surgelike, through the dells--
A mighty clang whose echoes rang
From Philadelphia bells
Loud from a stern old steeple
He hurled the proud hurrah,
The joy-peal to the people,

Catching Moles Is an Art That Requires

isn't money that makes my pockets
bulge out In that way, but 1t Is the
equivalent" remarked a gray-haired,
gray-bearded rancher from Mendocino.
as he took in the slack of a hay rope
that did services for belt.
ITO tell you the truth, my breeches
pockets and my coat pockets too, are
pretty we'll lined with moleskins.
Within the last year l have developed
into a mole hunter, and 1t pays. I
have several acres in Strawberries at
Ukiah, and they need considerable
water. / used to put in a lot of time
digging little trenches and turning
water this way and that, but ii was dis
appointing to go out the next day and
find that l had been irrigating a mole
hill. l set watch on the little pests.
and soon learned their habits. Since
then 1t is no trouble at all to get them.
I'm the first place, l found that a
mole never comes straight to the top
of the ground, but always on a slant,
and you will see the ground agitated
for some time before he throws up his
hill. II you step within twenty feet
of him when he comes to the top he
will instantly stop work and run. It's
no use to try to catch him then.
But = "iole is the victim OF habit.
X he is dist-i he'd at his work at 2
o'clock to-day he will not come back
till exactly 2 o'clock tomorrow. You
can set watch by him and depend on
its being right. Well, watch around
my berry patch and take the time
whenever disturb Mr.. Mole. The next
day when it is time for him TO come
back take my station near the hole.
AS soon as he throws up his little
mound plant my foot behind him and
close up his hole. Then all / have to
do Is to scoop him out OF the dirt and
drop him in my pocket, kicking and
scratching like good fellow. | kill
him. stretch his skin on a single. and
a man here in this city pays me 81
apiece for them to make purses Of"
