This was one Of the last trains to

bear them to Shanghai, and an hour
later learned that the forts of Taku

breath Of the evening air. They lounged
about comfortably in their chairs, tipped
them back against the wall of the build
ing, and amused themselves talking on
different subjects.
The conversation turned upon the crow
ing OF cocks, and the young lawyer re-
marked that he could set all the cocks In
the region about to growing. So he gave
a shrill. clear ck-a-doo-dle-doo-oo!' In
second came response from a rooster
not far away, then another took up the
refrain, then another, and so on until all
the roosters residing In that region had
had something to say about II.
The small boys Of the town, awakened
by the lusty growing, and taking II as
signal of the dawn OF the glorious
Fourth, jumped int9 their clothes with
the speed that is impossible on any day
but that one, and In a few moments

does. small cannon and everything else
employed on fhat'day to make a noise.
All over the town resounded the boom
and bang. abd doubtless many an inno-
cent sleeperl was aroused from sweet
slumber by the untimely announcement
of the Fourth. while the young lawyer
and his companions enjoyed hearty
laugh at the joke that had been played
on the boys.

added in the old days by the tar barrels
of our fathers? Happily the tar barrel
has not gone out OF fashion. The small
hoy delights in the blaze that rises from
it, and as the small boy is usually lord
of the Fourth, the resinous barrel will
doubtless continue to feed flames for
some years to come.
To hypercritical and ultrasensitive
souls our method of celebrating the great
est of American holidays seems awfully
barbaria and it Is quite true that noise
is the predominant feature Of the days
celebration. Noise, however, Is also the
predominant feature of battles. and
though they, too, are in sense
awfully barbaric. the world does
not yet seem to have arrived
at state of civilization which will rem
der it safe for the nations to turn their
swords into plowshares. And, after all,
thing may be barbaric and yet quite
useful. Sickly things, whether nations or
children, seldom make much noise, and
whatever noise they do make Is generally
of the whining order. 1t is the healthy
children and the healthy nations which
make the most noise in the world, and
they, too, usually fare best In life.
This apparent apotheosis OF noise may
rouse the ire of persons afflicted with in
somnia, who invariably look forward

doughty deeds done by Dewey and his
men in Manila Bay2
A history of the previous celebrations
of this day would form an interesting
book, since it would show that some re-
markable events in American history
have taken place on the Fourth of July.
Among these three are especially promi-
nent--the battle Of Gettysburg, the sur
render Of vieksburg and the deaths of
John Adams and Thomas jefferson.
Strictly speaking, the battle Of Gettys-
burg began on July /, 1868, and ended
on July 3, but ever since II took place ii
has in the minds Of the people been as
sooiated with the Fourth. Adams and
Jefferson died within few hours of each
other on the fftieth anniversary OF the
declaration OF independence. Jefferson
died first, aud, curiously enough, Adams
last words were: 'Thomas jefferson still
survives"
Singularly enough, our method Of ceie-
brating the Fourth does not differ in
many respects from that which was in
vogue half century ago. Then, as now,
patriots everywhere made the day an oc-
casion for delivering speeches, for eating
dinners, for attending pienics. dances and
other forms Of merrymaking, and for
ringing bells and firing off cannons. The
small boy Of to-day has better toy pis-
tol than his grandfather had when he
was a boy, but it Is doubtful IL II makes
more noise than the old-fashioned blum
derbuss which was the favorite Fourth
Of July weapon among youths in the old
days. Similarly the FIRE rockets OF our
day may ashe"d to,a height and produce

At this point the doctor came In and
made it unpleasant for the boy for some
minutes. Then he went away and the
boy shifted awhile and resumed conversa-

"We all think so In this country"
"And how long since 1t started?' per-
sisted the boy, who should have been
trying to go to sleep.
Ever since 1776; about hundred and
twenty-four years"
A shade of disappointment swept over
the boys face.
"Gee, pop" he exclaimed, "how much
I've missed" and then the father insist
ed that he must stop talking and try to
get some much-needed rest.
