A history OF the previous celebrations
of this day would form an interesting
book. since IL would show that some re-
markable events In American history
have taken place on the Fourth Of July.
Among these three are especially prOmi-
ucnt-thc battle of Gettysburg, the sur
render OF Vicksburg and the deaths Of
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
Strictly speaking. the brittle of Gettys-
burg began on July !, 1868. and ended
on July 3, but ever since 1t took place II
has ia the minds OF the people been MS
sociated with the Fourth. Adams and
Jefferson died within n few hours of each
other on the tftieth anniversary Of the
declaration OF Independence. jefferson
died first. and. curiously enough, Adams
last words were: Thomas jefferson still
survives
Singularly enough. our method Of celc-
brating the Fourth does not differ in
many respects from that which was in
vogue half a century ago, Then as now,
patriots everywhere made the day an Oc-
casion for delivering speeches, for eating
dinners, for attending picnics. dances and
other forms OF merrymaking, and for
ringing bells and firing of cannons. The
small boy OF to-day has better toy pis'
roI than his grandfather had when he
was a boy, but il II doubtful IL il makes
more noise than the Old-fashioned blum
derbuss which was the favoritc Fourth
OF July weapon among youths In the old
days. Similarly the fire rockets Of our
day may ascend TO n height and produce
n more dazzling effect than the old rock

quite sure that they add more to the gen
eral hilarity and enthusiasm than wa.
