morrow. The patriotic youngster has
known this for several months and has
been saving his cents to buy fire works,
which, however, cannot 60 up IN smoke

authorities have united in creating Mon.

of glaring beautiful tints and many other
varieties of pyratechnics within reach of
the humble purse are being sold in great
quantities, will be used on Monday but it
Is unreasonable to suppose that there will
