cans is the WOnder Of the world.
We may well learn also from
this day something Of the power
Of woman's influence. When Great
Britain placed a lax on elk, the
women Of America said, 1--WE will
wear no elk" When a tax was
placed on tea, they said, 1--WE will
drink no tea" While history
speaks of the Warrens and the
Jaspers, let IL not fail to mention
also the women Of the Revolution.
And let us not forget the influence
Of woman today upon the nations
welfare. Some one says: "Here
sits a mother by a cradle in which
lies a child one year old. SIZE is
rocking five years, ten years, fifty
years, eternityl" "She who rocks
the cradle rules the world " John
Randolph said that he would have
been an inhdel but for a praying
mother. What an infinite debt
this nation owes to its multitudes,
in Lob!e succession, of praying
motheral
We may learn also from indie.
pendence Day the necessity of put.
ing ones heart into ones work.
The signers OF the Declaration Of
Independence pledged their
''lives, their fortunes and their sa.

they threw into that movement

England tried TO bribe American
generals to stop the conflict. Gen.
eral Reed, OF Pennsylvania, re.
piled: "I am not worth purchas-
ing, but poor as | am the king Of
Great Britain is not rich enough
to buy me-" Such was the pre-.
vailing sentiment. The hearts of
the people were in that struggle;
and heart.enlistment is the secret
Of effective work always. Let us
keep heart. enlisted for our ma.
tion's welfare and in all that will
promote righteousness and justice
and godliness in our midst.
There lie another lesson we
might learn when We are observ-
ing the Fourth of July: it is the
importance Of committing ones
self publicly to the support of right
principles. Fifty-six men put
their names on the Declaration of
Independence. Placing a name
there meant victory or death. Had
they not committed themselves
thus publicly they would have
been more likely to waver before
the var ceased. But after the
names were down, there was no
retreat. As one of them said:
1--WE must either Lang together or
hang separately" Their names
had been published TO the world
as supporters Of the Declaration of
independence, and this public
avowal helped them to keep firm
during the seven years' war.
When Sherman was about to set
out on his march to the sea, he
destroyed all the railroads and
bridges connecting him with the
north and the authorities at Wash.
ington. When his army began to
move, he sent a telegram to the
national capitol and then cut the
wires. There was no retreat now.
He was fully committed to the ex-
pedilion. The world was watch
ing him. Nothing remained for
that army but to go ahead; and go
ahead it did until the flashing Of
he baynoets mingled with the
glimmering of the spires of old

ALLEGED DICK TURPINS
In Tolls, Charged With Gun coIIec-
tons on the Public Highway.

Two men charged with the
serious crime Of highway rob
berry, were brought here from
Miami by Deputy United States
Marshal Shriyer last Tuesday.
The names given by the al
legged knights of the road were
Ernest Taylor and FIX. Schild.
Several nights ago as John
Seymour, of Joplin, Mo, was
walking on the road, near Mi
ami, he was held up by two
men, at the point Of their re-
volvers, and relieved OF every
thing Of value about his per-
son. Suspicion was directed
toward the men, and they were
later apprehended.
Both are neatly dressed, and
of good appearance.
The evidence of their guilt,
however, was considered suf-
ficient by Commissioner Stan
field Tuesday morning, to bind
them over, under $1,000 bond
each.
