A HAPPY FOURTH.

OF course the grandfathers of the
twentieth century small boy take the
field this Fourth of July to show how
the day was celebrated before the war.
BY the help of tradition they bring the
first Fourth of the last century into the
picture. When the day is over who
will undertake to prove that the small
boy of 1901 has enjoyed more fun to
the inch or shot away more flesh or
exploded more breath shouting for lib
erty than his t-grea -granddaddy
did just 100 years ago?
This is not saying that the small boy
of today is slow, that he isn't up-tO-
