greatest day of the year. Griggsvhie mac
thought it all over, remembering Una,
crops were bad, that the times were naru
and that taxes were high, and had come
10 the conclusion that it would need AZ,
the money it could get for winter fuel ano
buckwheat -four and bacon.
All of the older folk agreed with this oe-
ciAion, not without many mournful shakes
Of the head, but the boys of Griggsviile
were much displeased. :.
ats what l call burning shame,
shifted Jack Morris when he heard the
news.
Eyes, chamed in Rudy Wilson, AL
den's Mills and Norcross and Simpson
Landing and nearly every town in the
county is going to have a celebration, and
now Griggsville has backed out"
"Course all of our games are off" re-
marked Dick Lansing, disconsolately; mo
team will come here to play unless there
u something going on"
Dick was the manager Of the Griggs-
Vile Baseball Club and he felt the dis
appointment deeply.
For a moment all the boys were silent,
a. If the weight Of the affection was too
great for expression. Presently Will
Spencer blurted out:
Lets have celebration anyway. I've
got few dollars I'll put into it and we
can get enough more among the boys to
make something of a show at least-and
wen leave the old folks out of it, too"
That's all very WELL" returned Dick.
''but it's easier said than DONE" ana there
the matter dropped.
The next day when the boys met at the
ball field Will came rushing up the street,
evidently much excited. AS soon as he
was within hearing he shouted:
1--we got it, fellows, I've got it,"
well, out with 1t, old man; don't keep
N in suspense" replied Dick, who didn' I
think much Of Wills many plans. For
W1l had only lived in Griggsville a shor
time and Dick was little jealous of his
popularity.
As soon as Will recovered his breath he
unfolded his schemes. 1t was to go down
to Sullinger's Hole and find the cannon
and muskets that were supposed to lie hid
den in its depths. During the war the
part of Missouri in which Griggsville is
located had been overrun by rowing bands
Of marauders, belonging to both the Con-
federate and Union armies, and it was ON
one of these raids that the Southerners
had ponnced down upon a quantity of
stores and ammunition held at Griggsville
and, being unable to get entirely away
with their plumber, they had dropped it
Into Sulhnger's Hole. AL this had been
long known to the boys of Griggsvine,
whose fathers and mothers often told of
the wild day of the raid, and pointed out
the bullet-furrows in their homes. And
they knew, too, all about Sullinger's
Hole. 1t was said no one had ever found
bottom, although more than one of the
men of Griggsville had sounded the pool.
The earliest settlers in the county had
called It the haunted pool" but ever
since old man Sullinger had scoffed at the
idea and had gone bathing in it's waters,
never TO return, it had been known as Sui
ringers Hole. All these things the boys
knew, and It was. therefore. not at all
surprising that Ruddy Wilson shrugged

.Celebration" and "observance,.

The Sons of the American Revolution
addressed the town clerks in Massachu-
sets, asking that they endeavor to bring
about fitting and universal observance
of the Fourth of July. WHAT every
boy will exclaim, do we not now observe
that day? Does not all our spending
money go for frecrackers and rockets and
lemonade|
Yes, you do keep the day with as much
noise rs Webster suggested, IN the sup
posed speech Of John Adams" But do
you observe it? The Fourth Of July
was at first observed as the anniversary
of the day when the throwing off of the
"Rritish yoke began. But the nation
ia now a hundred and twenty years old.
We have outgrown our fear and our ha-
tired of Great Britain. Now it Is time to
cease regarding the Fourth as "Indepen-
dence Day" merely, to forget all the sug-
gestions of England that the anniversary
brings to mind, and to treat 1t as the ma
tons birthday, in the broadcast sense.
That means that ii should call up be-
fore us all the glories of America, not
simply the heroism of '76 and 81, but the
conquest of the soil of the great West,
the triumphs of industry and invention,
the victories of education, art and culture,
the spread of religion. These things cam
not be adequately commemorated by burn
ing gunpowder. We do not go 50 far as
even to suggest that the frecracker be
abolished.
Yet while we ring the bells, and FIRE the
cannon and faunt the flag, let us all re-
member that the day is solemn as well
as a joyous occasion, and observe as well
as celebrate ii. Let us make it a day Of
commemorating glorious deeds in peace
and in war, by speech and song and STORY.
1t should be day of revival of patriotism,
real and earnest; of conservation to the
cause of good government; of stern reso-

why smokestacks Escape Lightning
Statistics show that OF 10000 smoke
stacks only three are struck by light
ming each year, while OF 10000 church
spires slxty-seven, and Of 10000 wind
mills. eighty-nine are struck by light
ming annually. An endeavor has been
made to explain this condition by tho
fact that the smoke discharged from
the smokestacks takes the electricity
assembled around the building along
and distributes 1t In the air, whereby
the source of attraction for the electric
spark Of lightning is not only dimin-
ished, but almost disappears. This
fact also explains, 1t is said, why peo-
pie In the country kindle large fire

President will send McKenna's name to
the Senate to fill the vacancy in the
Supreme Court caused by the resigna-
ton Of Justice Field. Months ago it
was known that the administration was
very DESTROYS of elevating McKenna to
the bench. 1t was understood then, and
is understood now, that the desire was
|.superinduced by a demand of certain
interests which contributed heavily to
the Mckinley campaign fund. To be
explicit, the Pierpont Morgan syndicate
of railroad monopolists demand Nc
Kennas appointment to the Supreme
Court. While investigating the Kan
sas Pacific sale the Senate should also
investigate these rumors of the sale of
Supreme Court Justiceship
But whether the stories be idle rumors
or based upon substantial fact, McKen-
ma has shown his UNIV orthiness of a
place ON the bench. His conduct of the
Union Pacific sale was weak and unbusi-
nesslike. He acted from the inception
not as the representative of the Gov
eminent, but as person extremely
anxious to protect the private interests
in the property which had been prom
ised big advantage in bidding for
the Governments claim. His attempts
to straighten out his conduct to the sat7
isfaction of the public conscience haze
been ridiculous, and the confusion fnto
which the whole matter has been
thrown by his own contradictions, de-
malls, charges and counter1charges has
clouded the transaction il uncertainty
and suspicion.

How many of .'the" people? Less than
half the number of the people entitled to
Luckily, neighbor, for the showing
your side made, they did not.
1t was the largest vote ever cast at a
bond election in the history of the city.
1t showed unusual interest upon the
part of the people. The City Hall
bosses had all the machinery of the city
in operation to bring out full vote for
the ordinance; every office-holder in
the city was dragooned into service.
On the other. side there was little or
no organized effort to get out the vote.
Therefore, 1T is but reasonable to
claim that the City Hall ring got all the
votes they were entitled to-they had
their nets out everywhere and dragged
the city from one end to the other.
And still, the refunding ordinance,
Which required three-ffths majority
to carry, was defeated by clear ma
jority of more than 500 or close to a
three-fifths majority against it. And If
the total vote of the city had been cast
at this election, the majority against
the ordinance would undoubtedly have
been nearer five thousand than five
hundred.
