THE FOURTH OF JULY.

Fling wide to the breezes that flag whose un
furling
Der the heads of orr fathers a century gone
Told the tale to the world of tyrant's down
hurting,
OF star freshly risen, a nation newborn;
Whose folds, Ger the breadth Of our continent
streaming,
For the sword that leapt forward, all eager
and cleaning,
To defend The flag raised on the Fourth Of
July.
No need to repeat now the soul thrilling story,
Marked by whistling of bullet and bursting
of shell,
OF that nigh hopeless struggle for country and
glory,
From the ride of Revere until CORVALLIS
fell
No need to dwell on that sad time in the val
ley
When our soldiers bare feet left the blood on
the sod,
Or each crushing defeat, or each heroic rally,
Or the hopes often raised and as often down
No need to recall that long. glorious roster
Of heroes inspired by liberty's breath
Who calamity answered each roll call and
muster

death,
Nor of how the stern veterans whom England
tyrannic
Hurled 'gainst our brave ranks were as often
hurled off.
Twas the fight of pygmy 'gainst forces
titanic,
With the sword of the Lord on the side of the
dwarf.
Today DER our country from ocean to ocean,
From Mexico's gulf unto Canada's line,
Let us gladly renew all those VOWS of devotion
Our ancestors uttered at liberty S shrine.
Let our minds contemplate, and with just ex-
ultation,
That thrice sacred day of Americas birth
When the breath of life came to the glorious
nation
That now leads the van of the powers Of
earth.
From the towns of the east. from each south
ern savanna,
From the mounts of the west, from the for
ests of Maine,
Let our voices uprise in a heartfelt hosanKz
Unto him whom our fathers besought not in
vain.
Let each unbearded youth and each grandfa-
ther hoary
Alike render thanks to Jehovah on high
That the flag still floats Ger US in all Of its
glory
That our ancestors raised ON the Fourth OF
July.

The Inspirinr Theme.

Let each American today renew within
his heart the pledge given by the men of
1875 to the principles which they estab-
lished; cement his faith to the constitu-
tion which they and their compatriots
erected and consecrated. Then shall our
land take ber proper place among the ma
tions of the earth; then shall gather around
her altar emancipated millions; then shall
her institutions rest ON political truth,
having public morals and private worth
for It's base, and from now on to the re-
motest end of time she shall proclaim to
the world, the soul inspiring theme that
all men are created free and equal and en-
dowed by their Creator with certain nat
ural and inalienable rights, among which
are life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness.-Selected.

Let the Boy Have His Fling.

Let the small boy alone. He is doing
what nature meant him to do-to make
noise and be glad. Nobody can keep him
down. He ought to have his fling, and he
ought to shout for his country as much as
he likes. He will soon enough reach the
age when few things in life can make his
heart beat faster or the color deepen in his
faded check, when he will echo the uni
versal sigh for youth departed;

stretched out, but the wrists turned at
as sharp an aygle as possible, the heels

Patriotism Long Ago.


1t became an early custom in the army
to notice the passage of the day of Inde-
pendence by some appropriate military
ceremony. And in those days the words
Independence day were more frequently
used than they are now.
Squeak the fife and beat the drum
Independence day has come.
This is the beginning of Royal Tyler's
little poem, called "A Country Ode For
the Fourth Of July. "-ExchanIe.
When Uncle Sam Was Young.
When liberty first spread her wings and free
dom found her tongue,
When Independence day was new and Uncle
Sam was young,
When came the jolly Fourth sround-the first
grand celebration
With fun and noise for all the boys, with joy
and exultation,
Do you suppose those old time lads, SO many
years ago,
Knew half the joys the merry boys of recent
decades know?
Did Andrew Jackson fireworks have? If so, dc
you suppose
He got excited, burned his hands and set on
fire his clothes?
And did the youthful James Monroe, when
shooting off rocket,
Forget and drop his lighted punk with crack
ers In his pocket?
Did Madison and jefferson and Burr upon that
day
At early dawn shoot cannons off and scare the
infant Clayf

smile, stood by
And watched the roman candles as they sailed
across the sky.
And Hancoek-he whose heavy hand signed

Do you suppose his bosom swelled with rapture

And from flag enveloped stand did Washing

And call in bursts OF eloquenee on freedom g
sacred name?
Do you suppose grand parade passed by the
speakers stand,
The columns moving eayly to the music Of the

And did they have fantastics and all kinds Of
games and races

FOURTH OF JULY DINNER.


A Typical American Feast For Our Great
National Holiday.
If there is one day in all the year when
we should serve a typical American dinner
the Fourth of July is the day. This is the
day par excellence when every one should
show his patriotism and respect for Amer
lean customs and institutions in some
way, and if it is true that the way to a
mans heart is through his stomach the
woman of the home may use the one argu-
ment in her possession to make a man 8
heart warm to his country and to make
him thankful that he is an American.
Here is a menu that is appropriate and
hard to beat
Cream of CLANS.
California olives. RadiSheS.
Broiled sweetbreads.
Brown mushroom sauce.
Roast hind quarter spring lamb.
mint sauce.
New potatoes. Green peas.
Lemon ice.
Fried chicken, Maryland style.
Tomato and lettuce salad.
Toasted Boston crackers.
Cherry pie Ice cream.
Martha Washington cake.
Watermelon.
Coffee American cheese.
Notices.
The dining room should be decorated
with bunting caught up with punches of
daisies and Other wild flowers. For this
purpose the services of the men and boys
of the household should be enlisted It
will give them double interest in the day
we celebrate. Then let the girls, big and
little, set and decorate the table. Lay on
the finest and snowiest of linen, get out
all your best dishes and silver. They can
never be used on greater anniversary.
Buy lot of tiny little flags and red,
white and blue favors, and leave it to the
taste of the girls to trim the table. 1t will
be all right, never fear. Their hearts will
be in their work, and success will be the
result. t.-Selected.

THE FRUIT OF INCOMPETENCE.

Auditor Aver was not pleased yester-
day morning. The tax-list sheets are
large sheets of heavy white writing pa
per properly ruled for making out re-
turns of the property of the county as
set forth in the abstracts. They were
made at great cost, and to have more
ruled and printed, now that the forms
have been destroyed, would be very ex-
pensive. But it seems that some of the
fusion county officers, in their ignorance
and incompetence, when they sent in
their orders, did not ask for enough. So
enough were not made. They are now
hndine out their mistake and writing for
more. The Auditor says they will not get
them, that it will cost the State $1,000 tt
duplicate those tax sheets. One register
of deeds says he lacks twenty-five sheets
of having enough.

YERMIFoRM APPENDIX.

The vermiform appendix is known to
science as vestigial organ. 1t was
once larger and played an important
part in the digestive operations of the
human system, but, like the tonsils and
wisdom teeth, has fallen into disuse,
hence it is imperfectly nourished and
especially liable to disease. The false
notion that appendicitis is caused by
a grape seed or some foreign substance
finding an entrance to this little organ,
whose interior is only large enough to
admit small darning needle, has no
foundation in fact 1t is atrophied by
disuse, and is unable to throw off dis
ease as do the stomach, lungs, heart
and other organs. 1t is composed of
lymphoid tissue, which is lowest in
scale of material in the body. The true
cause of disease is Inflammation and
consequent gangrene in the tissue Re

removal of the organ is the simplest of
operations, but it should be done with

JAPANESE GOVERNMENT FRIENDLY
Damages May Be Asked
By Japan.
Matter Will be Settled Amicably.
Arbitration Not Necessary.
Who Will Decide?

Mr.. Akiyama, who is here as
counsellor to the Japanese Legation,
fills the same important post for his
Government at Tokyo. He was here
in February last year, when on his
way home from St Petersburg, Rus
STA. His visit on that occasion eX-
tended only during the 10 hours dur
ing which the steamer remained. 1t
is his intention to travel over the Isl
ands during his present visit.
Mr.. Akiyama was educated at the
Imperial University, Tokyo, his spec
ial instruction being international law.
He has an excellent knowledge of the
English language, and cOnverses more
fiUently than the average tourist from
Asia. He is at present stopping at the
Hawaiian Hotel, and when seen yes
terday was very cordial in his treat
ment of a reporter for the Advertiser.
My stay here depends entirely upon
the wishes of my Government and the
time it takes to finish the negotiations.
The impression seems to obtain that
am here as a Commissioner, specially
appointed to conduct the investigation
for my Government. This is not the
case; I will act as counsel and assist
Minister Shimamura. The negotiations
will be in the form of an investiga-
ton into the causes which led to the
rejecting of number of japanese,
whom their Government permitted 70
leave Japan.
Their cases were inquired into on
their return, and, may say, investi-
gated, but, being without, cable com
munication. it was very difficult to get
all the points. But with the papers in
the case from that side, and what we
may get here, we think a proper I'M
derstanding may be had. What my
Government wishes to inquire into
particularly is the reason for the re-
lection of these people. We feel that
it is most unfortunate that it should
be necessary to come to a Government
that has always shown to be so friend
~ to Japan, but there was nothing else
to do. The Japanese at home are very
much excited over the affair, and it
was necessary to take the step.
'The negotiations will be conducted
in the most friendly manner, and, if it
is found that the action of Hawaii was
not according to international law
there may be a claim presented by our
Government for exact damages. In the
event of the Hawaiian Government de-
clining to pay the damages, it will be
asked to give its reasons. There will
be no arbitration. The matter must
be settled by the two Governments. -
