Next Tuesday the Glorious Fourth
will again awaken the echoes to the
music of patriotism. The increasing
fires of American Liberty have glowed
for more than one hundred years, un-
til beacon-like they surmount every
hill and mountain and illuminate every
plain and valley in this broad land,
whose confines are beyond the proudest
flight of fancy or ken of the founders OF
the Republic. Man sometimes builds
wiser than he knows; the edifce whose
cornerstone they laid in peril and dire
distress and cemented with their blood
to-day towers to the admiring gaze OF
all the world-a solace to the Cypress
ed, a dread to the despot. Then how
fitting the annual celebration of the
event that gave birth to this new era
in humanity! With heart and voice
let all rejoice; for one day, at least,
let dissension cease, and every member
of this proud commonwealth join in
the song of joy and gladness. Our
own Arcadia Valley will do itself
proud. Arrangements are now per-
fected for the grandest celebration at
tempted since the Centennial Year, and
it is expected that in many particulars
the proceedings will be made more in
teresting than then. Capt. Hunter,
commanding Troop X, Sd U. S. Cav
airy, now stationed at the Rifle Range,
has kindly consented TO join with his
command in the proceedings, and the
sham battle will be the most interest
ing feature of the day. Rev. Geo.
Steel will read the Declaration OF lnde-
pendence, and Hon. VIM. K. Edgar will
follow with patriotic address which
will enlist his most fervid eloquence.
The cornet band will discourse popu-
lar music at short intervals, while
games of all kinds will enliven the
passing hours. Refreshments, liquid
and solid, will be provided in abund-
ance for all at reasonable rates. En-
trance to grounds free to all. Follow
ing is the programme for the day:
Column will form in North Ironton and
march thence at 10 O'Clock A. M, headed by
Capt. Hunters Troop K, Third U. S. Cav
airy, followed by the Regimental Pack
Train, and proceed through the streets to
Goulding's Park. The column will be pre-
ceded by the Arcadia Valley Cornet Band.
Atll O'Clock the Declaration of indie
pendence will be read, followed by an Ora
ton by Hon. VIM. r. Edgar.

formerly conducted irrespective of de-
nominational lines, but the form of
worship soon became, and has since
remained. Methodist institution.

Difficulties of the civil service exami-
nations are multiplied tenfold in the
requirements set down by law of appli-
, cants for positions in the mail service
of China.
In the first place an applicant must
have strength and courage. To acquire
these he goes through very queer
method Of training. He wanders through
mountains and valleys, forests and
caves. The exact time to be occupied in
a trip is fixed by law, and heavy fine
imposed for unnecessary delay. He
must repeat these trips at night, and if
he listens to the bad spirits and there
by fails to appear at the required time
at a certain place he is sure to lose his
rights to position.
This is not all. He is obliged to carry
an enormous weight for many miles
and return with it within given time.
No allowance is made for his inability
to defend himself against thieves and
highwaymen, his road usually leading
through district thick with bandits
In training the candidate eats very
little-though he is used to this-and
he tries every straining exercise. Then
comes his real examination under the
direction of government officials. He is
taken into a long room, where, sus-
pended from high beam with strong
ropes, are very heavy sacks filed with
rocks
The candidate must give swinging
motion to all these sacks and then run
to and fro between them, carefully
guarding against blow by one of the
weights

End of a Romance that Had It's Origin
in Lincoln's Illinois Home.

T.nV OF Il thae nav 80 - -
in LincoIn's Illinois Home.
John d. Clews. aged 102 years. for
mer resident Of Springfield, ILL.,. was
married at Franklin, Pa, recently, 10
Sarah Jennings, 100 years old, who at
one time was a member OF Abraham
Lincoln's household. Despite their ad-
yanced years. Mr.. and Mrs. Clews are
still sprightly and active.
Behind this singular marriage lies a
little romance of the war, tending to
show that the course of true love Will
generally end In happiness, even after
the trials and storms of hundred
years. 1t was in Springfield, ILL.,, that
they met. John ID. Clews, born In
Richmond and tied down 10 the law,
had ever displayed weakness for the
life of the soldier, and when, in 1916.
the Mexican war broke out, he enlisted
as a private, won his commission, and
returned to Richmond wearing cap
tains epaulets.
1t was some years later when, as a
gray haired, thoughtful man of GO, he
began the practice of law in Spring
field, where Abraham Lincoln lived.
Mr.. Lincoln and Mr. Clews often met
in court, and this, with the abolitionist
agitation, then at its height, formed
the bond that was to end only with the
assassination of the President. Estab-
lished In Mr.. Lincoln's home was Miss
Jackson, a stately, grave, handsome
dame, a relative of Andrew Jackson,
and carrying some of the indOmitable
face.
Between Mr.. Clews and Miss Jackson
there arose an attachment and it is
probable that they would then have

years, at single bound. In 1889 his
first timid little volume of depart
mental Ditties' appeared. His Bar
rack Room Ballads" and his tales of
India made him soon popular as a
story teller and versifier, showing, too,
that as a globe-trotter he had become
versed in the ways of many people.
Rudyard Kipling was born in Bonn
bay, Dec 80, 1865. His father, an Eng
lishman of Dutch descent, was an ar

near to the wild beasts of the jungle.
Later he was educated at college in
England. At 16 he returned to Lahore,
India, and began working as reporter
on a newspaper. Meantime he studied
the soldier, the civilian, the native.
About these the writer wove some
charming fictions. AT 22 he issued his
first book. BY 1889 he was regarded In
London as literary man. The follow
ing year he collaborated with Walter
Balestier on IA book, and through him
became acquainted with Carolyn Bal

as if it might be an old story brought
up to date or renovated for the occa-

fond of ice cream. 1t never cloyed his
palate. 1t was with the same delight
that he saw it each time brought on the
table, and upon each of these times he
showed the exuberance of his feelings
by crying in rapturous tones: 'Oh-o-o!

were raked with grape and solid shot
by ''Black He'll Ga nickname for Ibra-
him. general of artillery and his gun
ners as they pressed through the streets,
compelling them to fall back to the
Etmeidan. where they defended them
selves with extraordinary fierceness,
staying great numbers of their assail-
ants The artillery, supported by the
marines and the bostangi, pressed for
ward and compelled them to retreat to
their barracks, where they offered des-
perate resistance to the assault.
From every street cannon Numbered
on the walls without intermission, the
building was soon in flames, the walls
torn and battered down by grapeshot,
and the janizaries, overwhelmed by
ruins, shot and flames, persisted in their
burning and blood stained barracks
For two days the gates of the city re-
manned closed and with relentless vigor
every corner was searched for such
janizaries as had escaped the general
massacre, and when found they were
hastily executed Nearly 20, 600 jani-

The woman waiting at home wrote
and wrote again to her absent lover,
but no word came in reply. Then one
day she heard that he was dead. Her
waiting was ended. A year later she
married James Jennings, of Columbus,
Ohio.
Clews, released from his prison, and
now man without occupation or ca
reer, heard that his sweetheart was
married. For many years he wandered
over the country, finally settling in
Cincinnati. He never brought to her
mind and her heart the knowledge that
he was alive, but cherished the memory
of his only love.
Three years ago one of those strange
accidents which sometimes bless the
unprotected people OF this world
brought the lovers together again. 1t
was at reunion of army veterans that
Mrs. Jennings, now a widow, and Mr..
