in the town:
Yet he said as he opened his only well

Two thumbs and eight fingers with lint
Were tied up.

And his smile was distorted his face ali
awry
From the joys Of the glorious Fourth Of
July.
We Were glad: he had started abroad
with the sun.
And all day he had lived in the powder
and fun:
While the boom of the cannon roared w
to the sky.
To salute young Americas Fourth Of Ju-
said we were glad the pieces were
there
As We plastered and bound them witt,
tenderest care,
But out of the wreck came the words,
with sigh.
IF tomorrow was only the Fourth Of
July
He will grow all together again, never
fear
And he ready to celebrate freedom next
year;
Meanwhile all his friends are most thank
full there lies
y crackerless twelvemoHt4t 'twixt Fourth

We kissed him goodnight on his powder
speCked face
We laid his bruised hands softly down In
their place;
And he murmured as sleep closed his on,
Il wish every day was the Fourth Of Ju-

cRAY0NS FOR CHILDREN
A Christmas Gift That Will Be
Very Acceptable

A box of colored crayons and some
old picture books or pads make very
acceptable Christmas gift to a small
child
The use of such tools teaches a
child nicely and development. In
Mrs. Louise Hogan's interesting vol
ume, "A study of child" one observes
one there described was the skill used
in using paper and pencil. Many mo-
theirs are too occupied with other things
to keep a record of their children S
early artistic efforts, and not every lit
tie one who uses pencil and paper is
destined in after life to become a
great painter or artist; but the abil-
ity to draw, to sketch, to show what
one sees with the eye by the work of
the trained fingers, adds distinct joy
to life
Children need great deal of variety.
BY simply keeping them happy and
busy they are often saved from fits of
temper and crossness which leave
them exhausted and precipitate end
less controversies For the tempests in
the nursery which sometimes raise
havoc there the mother and the teach
er, and sometimes the nurse, are re-
sponsible rather than the little ones
who are so responsive to gentleness
and so willing to be good if only they
are happy There is a great deal of
difference. of course, in the innate abil-
ity of children to employ themselves.
One small person finds engagements
and occupations for himself, and rare
ly comes with the battling question:
what shall we do now?" Another
is depended on the suggestions of
those about him. There are children
who even in the nursery show that
they are born to rule, while there are
others who are born to follow
The withdrawal of an amusement
when it ceases to be interesting is
desirable, and children should not be
forced to write or draw or compelled
to keep on with a distasteful pursuit
for which there is no occasion. The
homely game of gobelinks is liked by
many little ones but if they are very
small, some older persons should be
present, that ink spots may not come
upon face, hands and clothing. The
gobeink is a picture made by letting
a single drop of ink fall upon a sheet
of paper and then folding over the
paper the ink runs in very droll shapes
and forms about which the mother
may easily weave an interesting story.

GET THE BEST STOCK
What Is to Be Gained BY Early
Christmas Shopping

The advisability of buying early for
the Christmas season is made all the
more self-evident with brief study
of the situation and especially when
ones thoughts go back to the crush
and jam of a year ago. A prominent
merchant writes as follows upon the
advantages:
There are many reasons which
should induce early buying. In our
own business we have yet to receive
many goods that were ordered as early
as last February. This is not only
true Of domestic products, but of i'm
ported articles as well. 1t seems that
although all the manufacturers are
running full force, in fact, a great
many working overtime, they are I'M
able to begin to get out goods to fill
their orders. We anticipated this rush
as far as possible, and our holiday
showing is practically complete, but
il the season only half meets the
promises, much of the most desirable
goods will be gone long before the
week preceding Christmas. AS far as
duplication is concerned, it is simply
out OF he question, as the prices have
so advanced since our monday ORDERS
were placed that in many instances
we would have to pay the prices at
which we are now selling.
you mention the fact that one can
shop now at far greater convenience
than later, When the holiday rush sets
in and the crowds are too great for
comforr. You might also state that at
present the opportunity presents itself
to have your orders looked after now
by various salespeople, who are thor
oughly acquainted with the stock,
having been employed during the en-
tire year. while the last week, this
force is augmented by many novices,
who, despite their best efforts, are not
sufficiently well posted to meet the
customers demands with the same
promptness and satisfactory results
"All goods purchased Of US we shall
be glad to deliver at any time later
that may suit the convenience of the
buyer.
He thinks it would certainly be of
great advantage if the business of the
next three weeks were to be evenly
distributed, but he fears the season
will be like it's predecessors-tho
will wait until the last day and then
there will not be enough salespeople in
any of the large stores to properly wait
on the customers.

/ never satisfied with his work and goes
| to infinite pains with regard to details.
| His fellow artists give as an EXAMPLE
his using eight models in order to get
| the boatswain that he wished for the
Saga of the Seas" one for the arms.
another for the body and so on. The
| ideal result is the mingled pecuIiaritiea
OF the types of our docks. He is always
| on the search for odd characters, for
extreme types, and frequents the parks
and docks for sthem. He often has
| amusing experiences in consequence;
the possibility Of making money without
work will persuade them to accompany
him to his studio, but when they find
that he is getting a portrait of them,
they cannot be convinced that he is not
doing it with some sinister design, and
they incontlnently decamp.
/ This peculiar selection Of models has
it's advantage, however, for there Is
never any mistake as to the status OF
his characters; it is never a model
dressed up to impersonate, but 1t is the
real person in his native condition One
would instantly recognize that such a
type belonged on the east side or other

as to locating or classifying it.

ordinary interest in the future career of
