For Columbia had indeed succeeded
in firing the maidens of Rustival with
some thing of her own spirit. The wal
appealed to them; the element of rO-
NANCE had been sadly lacking in theil
lives. They organized Soldiers Aid
society, held patriotic meetings, and
sent flowers and uainties to the boys in
burg. They also established "a boycott
against the disloyal youth of their OWL
town, though the young men strenu-
ously insisted that it WAS just the 9th

But when this devoted troop of de-
tenders paraded the streets the girls
scoffed alt them openly, and from day
to- day the bitterness grew. FINALLY,
as the Fourth of July drew near the
mem unanimously voted that they
would have no celebration. ''It 'ud jest
be "a farce and a humiliation at SIGH a

And, in very truth; this blue eyed
daughter of Revolutionary rebels and
Scotch COvenanters was not the sort OF
girl to bear an insult bamely-lekst of
adj an insult to her flag. And now a
personal grievance WAS added, for
some Of the chivhlrOus pumpkins had
deemed it a clever joke to break into

flowers and trampling down the beds
''eNactly what IA drove of hogs would

tears, when she saw it. And this ut
terance didn't tend to increase her pop
umrity.

feat of vandalism, the announcement

SO Columbia was nothing if not pa

didn't seem inappropriate. She had ill.,
tie need to deck herself with the ma

red, white and blue in dawn tlnts on

But patriotism was at a discount in
Rustfval, or Rustyville, as lit was in

neighbors in Newburg just across the

little country town, which had aspired
to become the local metropolis and

CANT were the expectations OF the vii
layers. But they had seen the railroad
and the county seat and all the other
good things which they had accounted
their own one by one slip from their
grasp and tumble into the lap of their
upstart rival. Thus Rustival dWind

disloyalty. The whole country was 60

glance at their neglected street, Weedy
yards and the white paint scaling from
a struggling line of houses was proof
enough to this widowed community.
Naturally, when the war with Spain
broke out there was no enthusiasm. IL
be sure, Joel SlOcum, the local pOliti
