The Sergeant Majors Creed.

From the Nineteenth Century.
"A new parson who joined at a large
home station was most anxious to i'm
prove the general conduct of the parade
service. Among other things he decided
to adopt the eastward position during
the recitation of the creed. Only the choir.
who in a garrison church are those mem
bers of the band whose Instrument are
unsuitable for church music. would be af-
fected. as they alone occupied side pews.
There was no aggrieved parishioner to
consult. and the matter could be easily
arranged at the weekly practice. But the
chaplain was disappointed. The effect.
however much II might have satisfied him
as an ecclesiastic. displeased him as a SOL
der. His idea was TO repeat the first two
words himself and make a pause; then.
as he spoke again. the choir were to turn
as one man and proceed with the declara-
ton of their convictions simultaneously.
But from the chaplain's point of view the
rehearsal was most slovenly. and he con-
hded the fact To the sergeant major. on
whom he was paying a call next day.
"Then the sergeant major advised, III
/ might suggest. sir. I'd just let things
be las you were this Sunday. and Ill
step up next practice The chaplain
gratefully acquiesced, and at the next
practice the sergeant major accordingly
stepped. No possible circumstance or set
OF conditions can eradicate or even dull
the military INSTINCT OF a srfBeaht maJof'
He had a short conversation with the
chaplain. and then addressed the choir.
Now. men The mere sound of his voice
was electric. No little band boy now lolied
on the choir desk. The third fingers of the
hands were on the seams of the trousers
and the heads erect. Even the man strug-
Cling with the bassoon SAT to attention.
The sergeant major proceeded: When you
ear the ole man say "Hi blieve," not .
move-them words II only c~autionary:
but when e starts on cord the Father"
round yer go on yer cells Then to the
chaplain: Now. sir. you try The chap
lain was wise enough to note that the sa-
cred words had been uttered in perfect
good faith and without a semblsnce OF
profanity. so he thanked the sergeant ma
jor and tried forthwith. Success was In
st~antaneous."

THE FOURTH AT THE FALLS.
II Was Celebrated More deliberately Than
Ever Before.

II Wa Celebrated More deliberately Than
Ever Before.
Great Falls, July 4.-The national
birthday il being celebrated in this
town more deliberately than ever be-
fore; there is more bunting displayed,
more flags flying, more cracker shoot
ing and more preparation for the event.
Central avenue is n long study In
the national colors and other streets
are gay in proportion. At the Park
hotel, where the wool buyers congre-
gate, there Is one continuous fusillade
of firecrackers, for the buyers have laid
in a wholesale stock and the urchins
who ave learned the habits and Gus
toms of the WOO buyer by experience
are enjoying the sport Of firing the
snappy little rolls of gunpowder and
red paper by the box. Although the
smaller towns, like Sand Coulee, Belt.
Neihart, Choteau, are each having a
celebration. there are still many out
siders in the city, and 1t is probable
that tonight there viii be an immense
crowd to witness the bombardment Of
MORO castle by Simpsons fleet In
Broadwater bay. Possibly this display
instead of an anticipation of events to
occur may. in reality. be merely a re-
production of an historic event.
The announcement early this fore
noon through a Standard bulletin that
,ttN tla : Dtttf Il ptCh 1oiiiBiNAtiy w
stroyed added not a little to the en-
thusiasm Of the day and was the topic
of discussion everywhere throughout
the city. People hesitated ct first to
believe 1t. coming as ii did on the
heels of news not quite so encouraging
and the report of the killing of many
brave boys or the American side In the
recent engagements about Santiago.
but the hopeful side prevailed in the
end n there was much speculation
as to the next turn taken by the
war.
Over In the courthouse square several
hundred people gathered at 10 o'clock
the old Fort Shaw flag on a 100-foot
pole and the attending exercises. Col.
Charles Wegner and his efficient aides
had arrived on the scene earlier-at
sunrise-and with an Did brass howitzer
brought down from Fort Benton. were
attempting, by degrees, to fire a grand
salute of As guns. Unfortunately the
fuse they were using was damp and
the salute lasted through the larger
part of the day. The programme
opened with the singing of the Star
Spangled Banner by the crowd. This
was followed by the reading of the Dec
laration of Independence by Miss Tula
Grain. The young lady has an excel
lent voice, clear and strong, and the
reading was unusually good. Then a
crowd of school children in gala-day
dress performed the ceremony of rails
ing the flag. and as soon as it's folds
were caught by the breeze the first shot
of the salute sounded.
Hon. Charles NJ. Webster of Helena
was down on the programme for the
delivery of an address, but at the last
minute was unable to come to Great
Falls. Rev. E. A. WATSON, pastor of
the Episcopal church, made a very ac-
ceptable substitute. His speech was
brief, but strong and patriotic and re-
ceived generous applause. The morn
ing's exercises closed with the singing
of America by the audience.
