for terrific explosions accompanied every
jump of Julius Caesar, and comets don't
, make any noise. 1t was all swift, but the
noise and awful appearance of Billy and
Julius Caesar suffced in minute to startle
such of the populace of Honolulu who were
already awake, and there was wild rush of
: scores of people in the wake of where Billy
and Julius Caesar went downward to the
sea. The extent of the leap of Julius Caesar
when he finally reached the shore has never
been fully decided upon, but it was great
leap. Billy, jackass and fireworks went
down like plummet, and, very soon there
after, Billy and jackass, but no fireworks,
came to the surface again and then swan
vigorously towards the shore, for everybody
and everything in Hawaii can swim like a
duck. They were received by brown and
wildly applauding crowd of natives, and a
minute or two later by Cocoanut, who had
run like deer to see the end of the vast
performance he had inaugurated.
An hour or two later two boys and little
jackass were all together upon the hill again,
the boys excited and jubilant and saying that
they'd had Fourth of July, anyhow, and
the jackass in doubtful and thoughtful
mood.
The boys have grown amazingly within the
last year. The jackass seems to be about
the same But, about the Fourth of July
next at hand, it looks a good deal as if the
boys wouldn't have the same trouble they
had in 1897 STANLEY WATERLOO.

probably the most astonishing supply of fire
crackers ever possessed by two boys of their
size and degree of understanding. There
were package upon package of the small or.
binary Chinese frecrackers, and there were
q dozen or two of the big cannon" fire
crackers which have come into vogue of late
years, and the first manufacturer of whom
should be taken out somewhere and hanged
with all earnestness. They were now con
sulting regarding the morrow. Would the
flag fly over Honolulu and could they cele-
brate? They didn't know, but they had q
somewhere with Julius Caesar and had a
good time all day, but ever the morrow was
in their mind.
1t was early the next morning when the
two boys and Julius Caesar were again on
the point of hill overlooking Honolulu. 1t
was so early that the flags had not yet been
hoisted over the public buildings. Each
boy carried a package, and these they un-
rolled and laid out together. The display
was something worth looking at. ANY boy
who could see that layout of irecrackers and
not feel kind of a tingling run over him
resembling that which comes when he takes
hold of the two handles of an electrical
machine wouldn't be boy worth speaking
of. He wouldn't be the sort of boy who
had it in him to ever become president of the
United States, or captain of baseball nine,
or anything of that sort. But these two
boys quivered. Cocoanut quivered more
than Billy did.
Silently the two boys and Julius Caesar
awaited the raising of the flags over Homo
lulu. Could they or could they not let of

LESSONS OF PATRIOTISM.
As Long as We Heed Them We Shall
Be Happy People.
n HE true object of the celebration of
the Fourth Of July is the teaching

IT HE true object Of the celebration of
the Fourth Of July is the teaching
Ii of patriotism, and for this purpose
nothing is more important than love for
the flag. A flag should be as much a part
of every household as the furniture, and
should not only be owned, but put out on
every occasion on which there is the least
excuse. Another point much neglected is
the reading of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, the greatest document in the his
tory of the world Every boy and girl should
be familiar with its words and their mean
ing. We are now liberating downtrodden
people, and were forced into the arena for
their defense by this same Declaration of
Independence, which gave liberty to the
thirteen original states. 1t makes us the
champion of the oppressed, the chosen peo-
pie of the Lord. While we teach our chill
dren to revere the flag and honor the con-
stitution of the land, we cannot fail to pros
per. Patriotism is the highest civic senti-
ment, and the country whose people fail to
foster it is doomed to destruction and decay.
Happily, events have hitherto always SO
shaped themselves that as a nation we have
never been allowed to forget the blessings of
free government, and the highest thought of
the land, the brain as well as the Drawn,
are even now putting forth their utmost
efforts to give a stable government to fair
Cuba-without hope of material reward,
governed only by the conviction that all men
are by right free and Independent.

their frecrackers? They might as well,
said Cocoanut, be getting ready, anyhow,
and SO he began tying strings of firecrackers
together, adjusting cannon crackers at inter-
walls between the smaller ones and adding
Billy's string of crackers to his own. When
completed there were just 373 feet of fire
crackers of variegated quality. Billy looked
on listlessly, and Cocoanut himself hardly
knew why he was making this arrangement.
The sun bounced up out of the ocean, a great
red ball behind the thin fog, and bunting
climbed the fagstaffs of Honolulu. With
eager eyes the boys gazed cityward until the
moment when the breeze had Strengthened
out the flags and the device upon them could
be seen. Then they looked upon each other
blankly. 1t was not the Stars and Stripes,
but the Hawaiian flag which hoated there
below them!
They didn't know what to do, these poor
boys who wanted to be patriots that morn
ing and couldn't. They sat down discon-
soately near to the heels of Julius Caesar,
who was whisking his stubby tail about occa-
sionally in vengeful search of an occasional
fly. 1t CHANGED that in the midst of this he
slapped Cocoanut across the face, and that
.Cocoanut incontinently grabbed the tail, to
keep it from further demonstration of the
sort. Julius Caesar did not kick at this, be-
cause it was too trifing matter. Far bet
ter would it have been for Julius Caesar had
he kicked then and there, but the relation
of why comes later on. Lost in their sor-
rows, Cocoanut and Billy came home to-
gether, and Cocoanut, in the forgetfulness
of deep reflection, began plating together
the end of the string of firecrackers and the
hairs in the tail of Julius Caesar. He was
good platter, was Cocoanut-they do such
work with grasses and things in and about
Honolulu, and lots of little Hawaians are
good plaiters-and it may be said of the job
that when completed, although done almost
unconsciously, it was a good one. That
string of 374 feet of frecrackers was not 60
