when she came back in the fall, just

Sallie to stay with her until her uncle
came back.
'Tain't likely she'll eat enough to

In spite of the absence of fireworks,
and lemonade, and ice cream, all the
children-boys and girls too-agreed
that they'd never had so jolly Fourth

minds the next year.

THE TRUE LOVE OF COUNTRY
Always Puts First and Foremost
Loyalty to Highest Ideals of
Character and Conduct.

The nation to which we belong has
become very different nation in i'm
portant respects within recent years.
It has assumed new and different re-
sponsibilities. Its relation to other
nations has altered materially and
finally. It is not strange that differ
ences of opinion about many questions
have arisen. But one thing remains
certain. The nature of patriotism,
that is, the true love of country, never
alters, and the true patriot as he faces
the new conditions must not expect
that new principles are to be revealed
to him, but that the old familiar prin-
ciples are to find new opportunities,
and perhaps new methods, of illustra-
ton and service. AS the national cele-
bration of independence returns, it
can bring with it no more vitality bene-
fetal suggestion than this-that true
love of country always is one and the
same, and that it puts first and fore
most loyalty to the highest ideals of
character and conduct which God has
revealed to man.-Boston Congrega-
tionalist.

Meanwhile Dottie and Tottie, as
everybody called them, though their
real names were Sarah Josephine and
Amelia Ann, walked straight down to
the playground, and all the primary
scholars followed them, and they

ten tots waiting for them in the shade
under the big elm.
'What did she say?" cried the big
gest girl.

~ asked the very ittlest one.
The twins nodded solemnly and Dot
tie cried:
"And I most know that lovely Miss
Swinton is going to give up her vaca-
tion and spend the money for that
poor sick Sallie-and she didn't ought
to, 'cos she's all run down anyway, my
mother says, and first thing she knows
she'll be sick herself" and Dottie
looked mournfully round on her conn
panions and gave a pathetic little
sniff.
''And whatever should we do if Miss
Swinton died." dolefully incurred
Tottie.
By thistime all the kindergarten tots

gether), and they all marched over in q
body, keeping step like soldiers, and
stopped in front of the Thompson
twins.
(You had to stop in front of both
of them, because they were always
just as close together as they could
possibly get.)
s'Miss Dottie Thompson and-and-
young ladies'" began Tommy Trott,
with a defiant and yet bashful glance
at Aggie Davis. "You have slandered
and insulted us boys by saying we
couldn't be generous and self-sacrific-

that there's all our Fourth of July
money-in a bunch-and us boys want
to know where's yours-and you can

father says: Now put up or shut up!'
And we wish it was more-and we
don't want anybody to die and now
lSwinton can go on her
vacation-and-and- all" And
with a very red face Tommy turned
and tried to bolt.
But Aggie Davis was too quick for
him. She caught him by the front of
his jacket with one hand, and with
her eyes full of tears and her pretty

Tariff Restrictions by United States Tem-
Poxarily Cripples the Island's Trade
Woods Order About Debts.

Washington, June 22.@Secretary
Root has received q report from Gov
Gen. Wood concerning affairs in Cuba.
in which the governor general says
that the action of the constitutional
convention in accepting the Platt
amendment is received with general
satisfaction throughout the island
The great difficulty which is now
contended with in Cuba is that re-
lating to commercial affairs and the
necessity of better markets for Cuban
products without the tariff restric-
tons in the United States. Nothing
can be done, however, until the Cuban
governments is formed, when reci-
procity arrangement may be made,
but this will require ratification by
the senate. An order of Gen. Wood
relating to debts and mortgages, it is
understood, will tide over the diff
culties which were feared q short
time ago.
The Lucha says that the Cuban prob
lem has not yet been solved. 1t was
easy, says this paper, for the Ameri-
cans to obtain the acceptance of the
Platt amendment when they were
holding the reins of government in
Cuba. It will be different, however,
when the government of the island is
handed over to Cubans. The Ameri-
cans will discover then that the Gu
bans are less docile than they have
imagined.

SAYS 1T CANNOT STOP.
James Halter. q Wisconsin Dane, Claims
to Have Constructed Perpetual
Motion Machine.

Kenosha, Wis, June 22.-James
Halter, a Dane residing in Somers,
claims that he has solved the problem
of perpetual motion. Thirty years
ago he began work on a machine to
solve the question and to-day he sent
model to the patent Office, seeking a
patent. Halter claims for his machine
that it is impossible for it to stop.
Eight months ago the machine was
started and the people who have
watched it closely claim that it has
never lost a second. Up to the pres
emit time the motion of the machine
has been from east to west and not
circular, but Halter claims that the
new model solves the question of cir
cular motion.

THE aGLoRIoUs FOURTH"
The One DistinctiveIy American
Holiday, But One That Needs Re-
forming Along Certain Lines.

The adult American who thinks
what gap it would make in the mem
cries which he treasures to wipe out
all those relating to the Fourth of
July will scarcely object to the noise
of that fearsome festival, even though
he freely admits that it is no longer
the music that once It was to him.
The Fourth of July is the one dis
tinctively American holiday. Scien-
fists cannot dig down in the records
and discover that the Chinese knew
about it thousands of years ago. 1t
belongs solely to us, and if any for
eigner does not like the way we cele-
brate it he would do well to keep his
objections to himself.
At the same time the dreary lists Of
killed, MANNED and grievously strick-
en-, the tortured nerves of feeble folk,
the burning houses and all the other
sorry results of slambang patriotism
show us that the GLORIOUS Fourth" is
in some respects an inglorious day
which needs reforming along lines
that shall eliminate from it mayhem,
child slaughter and arson and shall
restore those elements of real happi-
ness and pleasing celebration which
have been frightened away by broad
sides from the horse pistols of howl
ing idiots and ceaseless cannonading
of deadly paper tubes loaded with
dynamite.
The Fourth of July is unquestion-
ably a good thing, however, you
survive it.-Chicago Daily Record.
