THE GLORIOUS FOURTH

Last Thursday in many towns in
the United States the republics
natal day, July 4, was celebrated.
The declarauon of independence
was read and the story of the strug-
gle for the rights of man on this
side of the ocean, was told again.
Though their rulers are engaged
in subjucating an alien race in Asia
and secretly sympathizing with
England in its war to exterminate
the brave Beers, the PLAIN people
Of the land may well continue to
commemorate the Glorious Fourth.
The declaration of independence
should be read in every home,
school-house and church in thu
country. 1t is the best, most effec
tive anldote to the poison O
sordid commercialism. 1t should
be printed on every school-boo
and memorized by every pupil
Teach every boy and girl 20 regart
that im.nortal declaration with tn
veneration in which the Lord
prayer is held in the Christian home
and it will not be long before ma
terialism and the twin evils, impe
rialism and commercialisn, vii
vanish, and the spirit Of '76, which
inspired the pen of Jefferson an
the sword Of Washington. will liv
again.

DEA TIT OF MIR. II. II. HAIR.
GROTE.

In the death of Mr.. Hardy H.
Hargrove, which occurred at Shreve-
port Monday afternoon, tie State
of Louisiana has sustained the loss
of one of it's most useful citizens.
Mr.. Hargrove was a worker. A
man of tireless energy he found his
greatest pleasure in work. We be-
lieve that he contributed more to
the prosperity OF this State than
any other man. Eminently prac-
teal he was man of results
Whenever anything enlisted his CO.
operation be gave his undivi''eh at
tention to il. Years ago he dtv"ted
his time to the furtherance IF the
cause of public education. He
mastered the subject and was an
authority an educational matters.
He labored for the free schools with
characteristic zeal and helped to
give to Shreveport splendid sys
tenn of public education. The mag
nificent central high school !" III at
CITY stands as 81 monument to the
intelligence and public spirit of Mr..
Hargrove. In 1896 many people
recognized his pre-eminent fines:
for the position OF State superin
tendent and advocated his claims Il
that Office, but, unfortunately
the cause of education in Louis
lana, the slAte-makers decided
against him.
Some years ago Mr.. Hargrov<
became interested in the industrial
development Of the South, and his
efforts to bring the great POSSIBLE
ties Of this section to the notice o
Northern capital have already beer
productive of much good. No on
SINCE the time of Henry w. Grad.
has done as effective work as Mr.
Hargrove in inviting Northern CAPT
taiists to the undeveloped field
of the South. His death at thu
time will be greatly felt. ALREADY
as a result of his efforts the gla'
song Of the loom and spindle
heard in many Southern towns. H
saw in the building of cotton mill
the industrial emancipation OF tn
South and he worked toward tina
end with answering devotion, and
though much weakened by the in
I roads Of an insidious disease, h
xtrove to the last hour that the PEG
ple he loved might prosper and b
. happy.

1t is probably true that almost
every man has in him certain quail
ties which would draw some woman
to him, but it is difficult to frame a
statement in general terms OF
s.What Women Like in Men. +"
This is the task which a very we'll
known author, under the nom-de-
plume of Rafford Pyke, has under
taken in The Cosmopolitan for July
in q clever essay, which proves him
to have made woman the subject OF
thorough observation and compre-
hensive study. 1.-THE foreign girl,
says the author. t'marries the man
with whom she will be happy. the
american marsies the man without
whom she will be unhappy"

Before Justice Connerton. Of the
Long Island City Police Court,
there appeared ON Friday last an
unkemp, and bedragRled prisoner.
He had been found sleeping in the
gutter. and outraged justice claimed
him a. her prey. John Smith was
the name he gave, and John Smith
he may have been for all we know.
At least there is no reason why one
bearing that name should not have
been as dirty and forlorn as he was.
Other John Smiths have trembled
at police court bars. Others have
been down at the heel, ragged. un
shaven and unshorn, ,malodorous
and greasy. Why may not this
| particular wretch have been legally
entitled to the name he claimed7
Seeing that he had nothing else, we
might afford to yield the point.
The Long Island City Smith,
however, is not by any means an
average tramp. He may sleep in
cutters or in pig pens and look the
part in all perfection. 1t is con-
ceivable that his pretensions to in
dustrious habits and aspirations
were az impudent as those of Weary
Waggles and the rest of the frater-
nifty of lotus-eaters. The chances
all are, in fact, that the John Smith
in question is an unwashed raga-
muffin by preference and would in
finitely prefer Imprisonment to
honest toll. But in at least one
respect our John Smith was not a
humbug, for he told the justice that
he could compose poetry, and he
proved his claim ny producing these
verses by way of sample:
Last night dreamed of land SO fair,
= Where the rivers were foaming beer,
S Where fountains of Rickeys shot up in air,
And everything else was queer.
Wide brooks of gin fixes on every hand.
\ Great lakes of cold Rhine wine.
And pumps spouting cocktails to beat the
band
i For the thirsty ones standing in line.

Outside the Police Court one coulc
see steam rising from the parcheo

Smith detained aloud the verse:
above quoted, dangling before the
bloodshot eyes of the assembled
crowd that picture of GOODNESS anc
delight, the toughest peelers in the
room cried out for very anguish
and the judge himself was visibl>
affected. Perhaps the latter woule
have sent the prisoner away OF
sanitary grounds. Perhaps not
Anyhow, there was something an
cient and fish like about Smith, ant
the magistrate, after hearing tn
poetry, said:
eliot weather, Smith,
eyes, your honor"
