Dick, slow match in hand, got we'll out Of
the way, as he thought, and with shout
of triumph touched off the fuse.
A binding fash, hiss, as of fifty wild
cats tied by their tails and turned into the
standing corn Of the Philistines, and then
a loud cry, as if the Phihstines, or some
body, were having an exceedingly hard

began to cave around about it he sent

down. This caused more Indignation and
one day the matter was brought to focus
when a lot Of our boys got together and
held square mems meeting. Among
those present were Patrick Henry and
George Washington. Pattmade a ringing
speech and told them that the people ought
to rise up out of their lethargy and make
this free country. A declaration Of in
dependence was written out and signed
and the bell was rung, as we have said.
| When old George Threetimes heard of
| this he sent over more soldiers and tried
to wipe out the little band parading under
George Washington.
But Mr.. Threetimes' gingerbread sol

George let them chase him around New
Jersey and Pennsylvania and when they
finally did catch him they at once tried to
let him go. But George didn't go-not
much! That night our George crossed
the Delaware river and made old George
Threetimes' army look like boiled Holsters.
Our George found the most Of them at
5O-cent dance, but he sailed right in, new
ertheless, and history tells us that he
broke up the ball. Because he won the
war we made our George President and
we have been having Presidents and

GRANDFATHER'S FOURTH.

Grandfather Watts used to tell us boys
That Fourth want Fourth without any
noise.
He would say, with thump Of his hickory
stick,
That it made an American right down sick
To see his sons on the Nations day
git round in a sort of listless way,
With no grafton and no train-band,
No 1re-work show and no root-beer stand,
While his grandSonS, before they were out
OF hibs,
Were ashamed great scott!-to fire of
squibs.
And so each Independence morn
Grandfather Watts took his powder-horn,
And the fint-lock shotgun his father had
When he fought under Schuyler, country
lad.
And Grandfather Watts would start and
tramp
Ten miles to the woods at Beaver Camp;
For Grandfather Watts used to say-and
gcowl-
That decent chipmunk or woodchuck or
owl
Was better company, friendly or shy,
Than folks who didn't keep Fourth Of July.
And SO he would pull his hat down on his
And march for the woods, sou east by SOU.
But once-ah! long, long years ago;
For grandfather's gone where good men go
One hot, hot Fourth, by ways Of our own,
Such shortcuts as boys have always known,
We hurried and followed the dear old man
Beyond where the wilderness began,
To the deep black woods at the foot Of the
Hump,
And there was clearing and stump
A stump in the heart of a great wide wood
And there on that stump our grandfather
stood,
Talking and shouting out there in the sun,
And firing that funny old fint-lock gun
Once In minute, his head all bare,
Having his Fourth of July out there
The Fourth Of July he used to know
Back in eighteen -and-twenty or so.
First, with his face to the heavens blue,
He read the Declaration" through;
And then. with gestures to the left and
right,
He made an grafton erudite,
Full of words six syllables long;
And then our grandfather broke into song,
And soaring the squirrels in the trees,
. Gave Hail, Columbian to the breeze.
And tell you, the old man never heard
When we Joined In the chorus, word for
word!
But he sang out strong to the bright blue
sky,
And If voices Joined In his Fourth Of July,
And when he had done, we all slipped back,
AS still as we came, on our twisting track;
While words more clear than the f1int-ock
shots
Rang In our ears
And Grandfather Watts?
he shouldered the gun his father bore,
And marched off home, nor'west by nor.

The Village Fourth.
Within the shaded doorway

Within the shaded doorway
The eager children stand,
For the strains Of stirring music
Announce the coming band.
The roar of distant cannon
M1ngles with the chime Of bells,
While nearer still and nearer
The joyous tumult swells.
Dear grandma leaves her knitting,
And with baby on her knee
Comes and sits among the children,
Who are shouting now with glee,
For adown the street comes marching
A long and varied train
Keeping step to Yankee Doodle"
The merry old refrain.
Now the last Of the procession,
With It's flags and STEAMERS gay,
Whisks around distant corner
In a cloud of dust away.

! skim Milk Made Useful.

A new use has been discovered for
milk, and fortunately it is skim milk
that is this time in request. It is want
ed to make sizing, to be used by paper
manufacturers in the glazing of paper
of a fine quality. Heretofore, for the
accomplishing of this purpose, supe-
rior grade of glue with other ingredi-

a much better and cheaper sizing can

We have to mention among other
things that disastrous hail storm visited
Hatfield, Wednesday, July y, about
o'clock, p. m. and destroyed many acres
of tobacco. Our correspondents write
about it as follWs: Hatfield, July 3 "a
severe hail storm last night ruined about
300 acres of tobacco in Hatfield. My
whole crop is gone New Field and Scot
land localities in Hatfield) have slight
damage. These are in A. B. Groves and
G.. l.. Warmers tracts, but through Main
street and East Division it is bad"
Wethersfield: Tobacco is growing nice
ly after the copious showers of late; some
pieces are uneven on account of cut
worms, but the whole is looking nicely"
East Deertield: ''Zeri Smith has sold
his 81 crop of tobacco, about 312 acres,
but at low prices. 1t is now nearly all
picked up. This was said to be very
fair crop for that year. The present crop
is growing finely. The crop is not quite
as forward as the average years, the rains
are helping it very much" Conway,
July IL ''The drought in the tobacco
trade has been only equaled by that of
the weather. Taken as whole it has
been hard season to start the crop.
Since the rains the tobacco has made a
rapid growth. The late pieces are com
ing along finely. Topping has com
menced and more will be done this week.
We have some fine crops in town"
Northampton, July II: Tobacco in this
town was not large enough to be injured
by the hail storm of the 18th. Though
it was not as heavy as at Hatfield, yet
YOU can see the effects of the hail on to-
bacco and corn. 1t will not be ready for
topping under two weeks" Fast CRANKY
Ct: sThe tobacco crop in this vicinity
is looking nicely. The early set is topped
or being topped. Our growers are a

but don't lose their heads.-Cultivator

Baldwinsville, n. Y.

In section almost devoid of leaf in
growers hands it is difficult to write up
a market. There is market for every
ounce of leaf unsold but the trouble is
to find that sixteenth part of a pound.
The '9S Onondaga is turning out we'll
and its good repute makes demand for
every scrap of that article. The recent
rains have greatly benefited the
growing leaf, but the rainfall has
been sectional, and while some localities
have had fine climatic conditions, Others
have suffered from drouth. The cut
worm has done considerable damage in
regions remote from Baldwinsville. We
know of one acre field where there are
not over 200 plants left growing. Near
by we think the tobacco has been less
injured, for some reason. We doubt II
results will show much greater product
this year than last. More of an acreage
was set, but very many plants died dur
ing the dry time, and for lack of rain or
press of other work resetting was not in
all cases done.-Gazette.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, WIS, July %, 1899,

EDGERToN, WIS, July %, 1899.
A few struggling lots of cased goods
are being marketed but the trade is,
necessarily, a limited one owing to the
scarcity of leaf remaining in first hands.
The country districts are about as thor
oughly cleaned up as they have been in
years, and yet persistent hunting will
always turn up more or less of old leaf.
The following sales have come to our
notice:
Chris Asbjoinson, 1O1cs '9S at 1910.
[. E. Skaar, 100cs at TIC.
Ole Osgard, 41cs at TIC.
Chas. Hildreth, 25cs at TIC.
Packers are enjoying some trade,
though the particulars of no large trans
actions have reached us. Louis Hitler
of Chicago, was looking through this
market during the week.
The extreme hot weather of the week
has had tendency to give a spindling
growth to some of the fields in sections
not favored by local showers. The early
fields are showing up finely and no hail
is reported thus far in any of the grow
ing sections. Topping is now becoming
quite general.
The shipments out of storage reach a
total of 036cs, about II car loads, for the
week from this station to all points.
Since last report losses of cigar leaf were
exported from New York.

LANCASTER New ERA. July Is, '99.


A very moderate volume of trade has
marked the business in tobacco during
the past week. But few buyers were
here and they operated but lightly. A
good deal of tobacco is seen moving on
the streets, however, which may be taken
to mean that some tobacco men who have
supplies stored here for a long time past
are taking them home or sending them
elsewhere. The sales reported are 29Ocs
by M. M. Fry, 105cs sold by G. II. We'll
CHAINS 81 Co. and Toes bought by Isaac
Stirk & Co., in all 471cs For the CORE
spending week of 1898 5T0cs were sold.
The past week has been largely made
up of tobacco weather. Sunshine and
showers marked the entire week, and
warm nights also, SO that the tobacco
fields have had no excuse whatever for
tagging. Nor have they. 1t has Just
been ''get up and go" all the time, and
no mistake. We are sorry to say, how
ever; that the pest of the tobacco fields,
the flea, has already been getting in its
work. 1t has appeared in various local.
ties, and it's early appearance seems to
over the country in due time. This is
most unfortunate. 1t will give us two
seasons of flea eaten tobacco in success
sion. AS very reasonable price was
paid for our fea-eaten crop last year we
feel little consolation under the new
infiction. We hope, however, that the
infliction may not prove very severe
Several farmers have informed us they
will top some seed leaf this week, which
is early for that variety.

But this previousness may prove very
costly venture. Because there was
larger demand for domestic wrapper leaf
this year than for many years past that
is no conclusive proof that that demand
will increase or even hold out. All ex-
perience points to a reverse course. But
it seems that experience never counts for
anything in the trade, in spite of the fact
that fashions and taste are as tickle with
the smokers and are as liable to change
as with the millinery makers.
