And if the men won't celebrate their own eegntry's independence day, we'll make celebration ourselves, girls, I'd like to see them try to stop us"
 So the rest of the afternoon was spent in plotting. Giant crackers and other fireworks were to be secretly procured and set off in various places at tEe first tap of midnight. The church bell was to be rurg as usual. and two strong armed girls were detailed for this duty.

 This cannon was a rusty relic of the Mexican war, procured from the gov ernment for Fourth of July purposes in the days when Rustival esteemed itself a model of patriotism. It was kept housed in an open shed at the top of a slight rise of ground just outside the village.
 '.We won't try to move it down" said Columbia Wed best shootit off right where it stands"

 Suddenly the still moonlight was jared by the sharp clang of a bell; peal after peal rang out with clashino and diseordant precipitancy, like fire alarm. Then there burst forth an un- earthly shrilling and squawlling of horns and conchs. and simultaneously sputtering and banging of firecrackers of all dimensions. Joel rushed out into the street, to be greeted by the hissing rush of a mounting rocket; and the rneteoric glare as it exploded and spilled downward it's shower of parti- colored sparks showed him that the aforesaid striped petticoats" were ahundantly in evidence. 4 moment

HORSE WANTED SHOES.
His Actions showed That He Knew n Blacksmith shop sign When
 He Saw It.

If his mistress is to be believed (und who dare say she isn't9l, tic old horse Jerry, some of whose exploits have been related before, can read. The otherday he was put into the earryall and driven to town some four miles away. The roads turned out to be unexpectedly slippery, and Jerry was smooth shod.
 He had so dreadful time il getting down the hills that all the people had 10 get out and walk, and as he was trying to pull mp one hill he actually so lost his footing that the earryalI began to run backward, pulling the horse down hill after it, and if the driver had not expertly eramped the wheels into bank there must have been bad acci- dent.
 The mistress declared that if she got the horse to town alive she would have him sharp shod there. They did get to the town last.
 As they were driving through the streets-the way being easy enough In the town--they came to a place where the sign of blacksmith shop hung at the head of little alley. The shop It. Ee1 WIS not in sight-only the sign to direct people down the alley.
 The horse had never been shod at this place, nor anywhere else in the town. but as soon as he came abreast of this sign he attempted to turn down the all ley, and his driver had difficulty lhEef- ting him past. After some other mnt- iers were attended to the driver went back to the blacksmith shop to ger Jerry sbod, and be headed directly for the shop in the alley without any guid- ing.
 As the man was shoeing him, he that is, the man, not the horse--remarked ] That horse don't need word; he knows just when 10 take lip eyers foot and when 10 put 1t down. lie nnder-] stands the whole business"
 Now on his way home the old horse never slipped once, and you cannot con- vince his mistress that he did not know that what lie needed was sharp sboein2 nor that he was not Aware that that sigul pointed the way to bIackgmifh's shop(

 Then. as an offset to the hated vol unteers at Newburg, these brave lads formed a company of home guards"
 Fer right here's where we're goin' to be needed, boys, asseverated Joel, "an' purty soon, too. Fancy them crazy galS'li haul in some O their striped tog- gery when once they see the Spaniards marebin' into town"
 But when this devoted troop of de- lenders paTaded the streets the girls seoffed at them openly, and from day to 6ay the bitterness grew. Finally, as the Fourth of July drew neag, the men unanimously voted that they would have no celebration It 'ud jest be a farce an humiliation at sieh a season IS tlis," Joel assured them. 'An' ye better keep yer eyes peeled, boys, fer it's moren likely them striped petit coats.il be out fer mischief
 And in very truth, this blue-eyed daughter of revolutionary rebels and Scotch Covenanters was not the sort of girl to bear an insult tamely-least of all, an insult to her flag. And now 6 personal grievance was added; for some of these ehivalrous pumpkins had deemed it a clever joke 10 break into her garden at night, uprooting the flow CTS and tfampling down the beds-''ex- actly what a drove of hogs would have done" she cried, with angry tears. when she saw it. And this utteranee didn't tend to increase her popularity.
 Following close on the heels of this feat Of vandalism, the announcement of the Ro-eelebration resolution pro voked a blaze of indignation in the Soldiers Aid society, which was q fine display of fireworks in itself.
 That shows them for just what they spirited, cowardly traitors, 2 broke forth the warlille president, her cheeks oatfaming her costume. T

 Naturally, when the war with Spain broke out there was no enthusiasm. To be sure, Joel Slocum, the local politi- clan, made off to Washington to try for an apPointment; but he soon came back and reported a general state of rottenness.
 "Them Spaniards," he declared, .'are goin' 10 lick us out of our boots, an, I'm hopin' it may do us good. Everything s ali at siXes and sevens, and there can | nobody git any show cXceptin' rucll of rich mems sons."
 ''Why don't you enlist in the ranks, and serve your country that way?" de- manded Columbia with characteristic aggressiveness. "I'd call that better business for a big, strong man like you than loafng about and grumbling here.'
 She had just entered the pest office. where Joel was haranguing, and stood like an animated edition of the Star Spangled Banner on the edge of the crowd.
 "Ketch me servin' under them nin- compoops!" roared Joel. Better run home, little gal, an stick on few more of them red, white an blue posies you've sot out in yer Pa's front yard. That's the way you gals fight fer yer country, Clumby Alpin.p
 The men removed their pipes and guffawed approvingly.
 "I'll just show you, some day" she cried defantly, as she turned away with letter postmarked Newburgh.
 Even the news of the brilliant vic tory at Manila fell flat at Rustiyal.
 Jest happened so, commented Joel Likely the Spanish want lookin' fer 10 sech fool doin's way off t'otber side O nowhere. An what's the good on it? Should say we had savitches enough on our hans a'ready-'specially with that gal ravin' round in her war paint, mall- in waIkin' barber pole of herself. Wouldn't mind givin her a few feath- CTS, though, to help out. She's corrupt in' all the gals in the village"
 For Columbia had indeed succeeded in firing the maidens of Rustival with something of her own spirit. The war appealed to them; the element of TO- nance had been sadly lacking in their lives. They organized a soldiers aid society, held patriotic meetings, and sent flowers and dainties to the boys in blue in the volunteers camp near New burg. They also established boy colt against the disloyal youth of their own town-thotgh the young men strenuously insisted that it was just the other way, and the boycott was on

 Sc Columbia was nothing if not patri- otfc. and her name, however odd, didn't seem inappropriate. She had little need to deck herself with the national colors which she so persistently Haunted, for nature had printed the red, white and blueia dawn-tints on her glowing face; and bright stars shone there, too, right out of the blue, to make all absolutely perfect. She was herself our country's $ fairest, fruest emblem.
 But patriotism was at discount in Rusfival-or Rustyville, as it was in sultingIy nicknamed by its hust1ing neighbors in Newburg, just across the lake. For Rustival was a sour, belated little country town, which had aspired to become the local metropolis and DaQ0 TedllZtQ us dHDItiOH. !

But they had seen the rail road, and the county seat, and all the other good things which they had ae- counted their own, one by one slip from their grasp and tumble into the lap of their upstart rival. Thus Bastival, dwindling and dingy, continually losing the more alert of its youth and retain- ing only those whose shallow, rustic eonceit found scant encouragement elsewhere, had become the abode of peeyish and earping diseonteut. ripe for disloyalty.

SCIENCE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
The Smithsonian Institution Contem- plates Sending a Commission to
 the Captured Territory.

The Smithsonian institution is con- templating a scientific invasion of the Philippines along wtb the military oc- eupation. As contemplated the inva- sion will be by a company of the sci entific men of the institution under the leadership of a scientist of the highest attainments, to go along with the troops and under their protection. This is not regarded as new thing, but to the United States it would be absolutely novel, for the reason that il has never before undertaken eonquests of foreign territory. Very rich collec- tions could be obtained, it is believed, on the island of Luzon, attractive for the purposes of the institution and in- teresting for the public generally. The cooperation of the scientists and the troops would be advantageous, and it is believed that the natives would be found amiable and helpful. It would not be necessary for the success of the scientific exepdition that the United States should hold the islands. The col- lections5 would greatly enrich the Smithsonian, and with an ethnologist, botanist, geologist and other trained men along a report could be produced that would add much to the instructive literature of the institution. The dis position of the war department has not yet been ascertained, but it is believed there will be entire willingness on the part of Gen. Merritt to assist the Smith soRian institution in its desire to make this expedition a successful one.-N. |. Tines.
