THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

parade out Of sight and let them see
that we are running the town."
Some objection was raised, but in the
end the worthless were all satisfied with
a plan that promised dire trouble for
the neighboring burg. But only the six
cattle barons knew of it when the morn
ing dawned. The rivalry of western
towns does not permit of much conf
dence or exchange of courtesies.
There was another conference that
night, but the cattlemen did not know
of it, Only two were in it-Iarry and
Led. When they parted it was with
laughand merry call from the former:

Independence day dawned with the
beauty of the prairie skies shining over
the town. 1t was day for the young to
rejoice in and for the old to be thankful
for. Mayville was astir early and there

both for the purpose of making for his
side the best showing possible and to
Guido the opposition. The rival parades
started at ten o'clock.
The two young men We're the respec-
tivemarshals of the day and each guided
his troops as best lie could through the
crowds that filled the streets. The
south enders were gorgeous in their fin
cry from the stores. The Goddess of Lib
erty rode on float ali by herself and
| the horses We're gayly fitted out for the
occasion with ribbons and bunting. The
north end had more sedate, but more
expensive aggregation. 1t had in line
all the cowboys of the ranch owners
and there were some fancy riders
among them who could and did make
the onlookers wonder at their skill.
AS the bands played and drowned out
the noise of each opposition company
the two marshals of the day led the lines
toward tree-lined avenue and then
with a quick turn brought them out
plump against each other in the broad
street! twas the most exciting time, of
the towns history. The men were mad
and the women indignant-the children

But suddenly something else hap

planted in the virgin wilderness, has
become the most powerful ppon the
earth, and grand heights rise before it
in the glad perspective of the future.
Truly, like Israel of old, we can say with
humility and reverence that we are
.'the chosen of God.'
In the throes of that struggle which
gave. to our country its independence of
kingly rule, in that war for the rights
of the sailor which has no parallel in
the story of the worlds wars,in that last
Titanic contest where brother fronted
brother in deadly conflict, the increas-
Ing significance of the Fourth of July
Was appreciated by every succeeding
generation. To-day we are privileged to
witness q revival of the spirit Of patriot
Ism; and love of country and the main
tenance of its dignity are the absorb
ing topics of thought and conversation.
AT this time, above all others. the SOL
emn conviction is borne in every loyal
heart that this continent is destined for
freedom, and that it is the people of the
United States who shall hold liberty in
trust for those weak peoples of the west
,ern world who are striving to attain it.
On the Fourth of July "a years ago
two of the worlds great battles were
fought, and the reeking affairs of pa
Itriotism at Gettysburg and Vicksburg
sent up their smoke to the plying
heavens. To-day those men who
marched with Meade and Grant and
they who fought with Lee and Pember-
ton sit side by side in the sunlight of
peace, loving their country with pure
patriotism and jealous of her honor.
The crash of cannon and the rattle of
mimic musketry are fitting accom-
paniment for this day, for the repub-
lie was born in storm and stress. The
flare of guns was it's natal torch, and it's
cradle was rocked to the roar of artil-
lery. That our children may never for
get that this was so, and that they may
prize the calm of peace we initiate, on
this day, the tumult of war. On this
day, too, we fling forth the flag, and

emblems Of the states were held in the

Maybe that's so, but it ought not to
be. Just because the cattlemen live in
the north end and the land owners in
the south they ought not to quarrel"
replied Harry Morse, son of Banker
Morse, and just home from college.
"We'll get up our own then," sug-
gested somebody, land let's meet to-
morrow night. Fourth of July will be
here in a week"
Harry on his wheel met Led Norton,
the son of the owner of Hat Six ranch,
on horseback a day later and the two
young men rode SIDE by side across the
level plain for time. Harry told his
companion of the arrangement.
''That's all right" was the reply.
"The north end is goin' to perform, too.
