Fourth OF July In chaIIis.

Fourth of July in Challis was
not observed on so great a scale
as in previous years, but it was
celebrated to some extent never
theless, by our people. The day
was ushered in by explosion of
giant powder and artillery, but
later in the day the small boy
with his fire-crackes were num-
erous, and kept up his patriot
ism until along in the night.
The town was gaily decorated
with flags and bunting which
added much to its appearance.
The large town flag fioated over
the l. o. o. F. hall, as also did
the school flag wave from the
flag pole on the school building.
We also noticed several flags of
pretty size about town on this
day which bore the inscription
on them in bold letters: ITO HI
With Spain; Remember the
Maine"
One of the pleasant features of
the day was public picnic in
the grove in front of the county
hospital. At l o'clock p. m. a
large crowd of men, women and
children had assembled for the
purpose of listening to the exer-
cises and partaking of the boun-
tiful repast which had been
spread for the occasion under
the branches of the tall cotton
wood trees. The first was avery
appropriate program of exercis-
eS which consisted of singing
patriotic songs and which all
joined in on the chorus. Prof.
Schermerhorn read the Declara-
ton of Independence in very
able manner. 1t is an old docu-
ment, but it never grows stale to
the hearts of all true American
citizens. Evan Stephens, the
orator, then delivered Patrick
Henry's Appeal to Arms" in a
masterly manner. The next on
the program was a general
spread, in which all appeared to
enjoy very much, and there was
abundance of eatable of the
choicest kind. The picnic was u
decided success, so they all say.
In the evening a grand ball
was given in the l. o. o. +. hall
by the local lodge K. o. T. NJ.
1t was well attended, and con-
tinued until after daylight the
next. The hall was neatly dec
GRATED with flags. bunting and
evergreens. The party was a
financial as. we'll as a social sue
cess We are informed.

While the family were at din- ner few days since, one of the number glanced toward the lounge, and there sat a large bullfrog, who was evidently huge ly enjoying the situation. But the climax came a few nights later. After the lights were extinguished and all were safely in bed, the lady was certain that she could hear somebody trying to get in at the window; ste was sure she could hear the curtain move now and then. Visions of nocturnal marauders, burglars, robbers and midnight assassins filtered through her mind, but she was unable to get her husband enough interested to get him oui of bed. Slowly the night dragged itf weary length. she still hearing that mys. terious sound, until daylight came at last to relieve her anxious mind.

 The frog had been attracted by the faint light from the window, and his continua jumping against the curtain had been the ] innocent cause of all her anxieties.
