WHAT'S IN A NAME?

"A HE was a blue-eyed, fair-skinned
* and undeniably red-haired little
~ girl. who ran furiously home from
the country school house on the afternoon
of the Sd OF July, not quite thirty
years ago. Her face showed the ming
ling OF Scotch and English characters
tics. Just now it was angry and fearful
besides. why can't they let me alone:
Why did mother give me such name!'
That was the sum of her vexed thoughts.
Well, it was funny. One could not ex-
actly blame the boys for laughing when
at roll call every morning they heard the
name Independence Day" If the red
blood surged back 10 her ears once. ii had
q hundred times rs she answered, Pres

That roll call was her greatest trial.
Her mother always called her Pen" and
to casual listeners that might me:m Pencil
ope. The girls often said Indie" for
it was in the days when the e's had it
all to themselves and she did not mind
that SO much. but boys are merciless, and
to hear them giggle and whisper, "Regu-
lar Fourth of July, isn't she!" was an al
most daily martyrdom: while there would
sit Miss Thompson. the teacher. with
spectacles Oh her nose and her short sight
intent on the list of names. checking them
off oblivious OF what was passing behind
the desks.

raging. She had one of those strong in
tense natures, which bear long in silence
but once giving up. give up utterly for the
time. Bursting into the house, she threw
herself into her mothers arms in Il pas
sion of tears, sobbing: Why did you
give me such dreadful name:'
Mrs. Day petted and soothed and drew
from her by degrees the story of accumu-
lated woes When she WIS somewhat
quieted, she said: Il always meant 10

On that day. ever memorable in Amer
lean annals. the Declaration OF Indepen-
dence was adopted by the unanimous
vote of the thirteen colonies.
The enthusiasm of the patriots at hear
ing the intelligence was unbounded.
While Congress had been discussing the
subject, crowds assembled outside the
hail and in the streets, anXiously await
ing the result. When it was announced
ut noon the State House bell. on which
was inscribed proclaim liberty through
out all the land unto all the inhabitants
thereof" changed deep and melodiously
and the throng gave vent to long and loud
shouts of exultation.
The. old bell ringer had been at his
post since early morning. He had placed
his boy below to announce when the
declaration was adopted, so that not an
instant might be lost in transferring the
glad tidinss by means of the bell TO the
waiting multitude. As the wearisome
hours passed and no sign came to him
the aged bell ringer finally exclaimed:
They will never do it. They will never
do it, Just then he heard his boy clap
ping his hands and vocifcrating at the
top Of his juvenile lungs Ring. Ring"
The old hands swayed- the sonorous bell
with deIirious yisor. Its reverberation
was echoed by every steeple in the city.
That was gala day in Philadelphia,
what with rejoicinss and bonfrcs and
illuminations. The cannon doomed and
messengers rode away hotly in all quar-
tiers to announce the news. Washington
then was in New York with the army
By his orders it was read to the SOL
diers, who acclaimed it enthusiastically.
The townsfolk on that night tore the
statue OF George III. from its pedestal
in Bowling Green and it was melted into
1900 bullets for the patriotic troops.

Governor was not so much surprised
but that he could exlaim: Then you

afraid to make known his temperance
principles is William II. X. Bush. Of
Reading. He served as Sergeant four

two battles. He was n temperance

organized Temperance society Of
twenty-eight members I'm his company.
but after he returned from two months

that all but four had broken the pledge
He at once reorganized the society and
built II up to sixty-eight members. Once
there came an order that every soldier
should have two doses of quinine I'm

marched his company up to the Sur

reon said: Put out 4 big one for the
Sergeant" But the Sergeant answered.:
Il swOre allegiance TO Uncle Sam to
fight. but not TO drink whisky" The
Surgeon was inclined to make a fuss,
but the Colonel backed up the Sergeant
and others of his company who refused
the whisky. When the Governor asked
that question" said Mr. Bush. Il
