Don't Bind the Wound.

Twenty-four cases of lockjaw from
toy pistol injuries in Chicago on the
Fourth of July. 1900. and similar ex-
periences elsewhere resulted in the use
of pistols and firecrackers being pro-
hibited in many cities.
Do not bind or close any Fourth OF
July wound or any wound produced as
such wounds are. Lockjaw or tetanus
is caused by the bacillus or germ which
exists plentifully in street dirt. and
especially in and around stables. 1t
is inactive so long as exposed to the
air; but when carried beneath the skin
and buried in the flesh. as in the
wounds caused by bits of percussion
caps or by rusty nails. and when the
air is thus excluded. the germ is reused
to activity and produces the most vir-
ulent poison known. This is the cause
of lockjaw, and death from it is most
agonizing.
Have any Fourth of July wound. no
matter how apparently insignificant,
dressed by a doctor. who will know
how to cleanse it thoroughly and ap-
ply the proper treatment to prevent
the growth and activity of this bacillus
and the resulting disease.-Washing
Post.

ONE FOURTH OF JULY

The youths face was ardent and

you know that my father never will

with the rebels" said she, glancing in
to the manly open face and dropping
her eyes modestly. 81 have told you
SO many times"
But what has politics to do with
lover" cried the youth. you know
how long 1 have loved you and you
have regarded my suit with favor I'M
til our people turned on their oppres-
sors. Since last year, when the patri-
OTIS made the stand at Bunker Hill,
you have had but cold words for me.
And yet know from your eyes that
you still feel kindly toward me-"
1t was in the shadowy cool of a
modest brick house in Philadelphia on
a hot day in early July in 1915, and
the personages were stalwart young
man of five and twenty, clad in the
knee breeches, silken hose and cut
away coat of that day, and dainty
damsel of eighteen, red-lipped, bright
eyed and altogether ailuring in her
brocade gown and rustling petticoat.
II fear you do not think SO much of
me as did the gallant knights of the
story books" replied the maiden, pout-
ing.
II swear I will go as far as any Of
them to do you any SERVICE" he re-
piled eagerly.
but you will not give up your stub
born support of the cause of the king
enemies" she replied with spirit. IF
your love for me is so strong why do
you choose to erect between us an I'M
surmountable barrier?"
You would not have me do violence
to my principles?" the young man
spoke sternly.
MY father says that the principle is
all on the other side-loyalty to the
king, obedience to the law. support of

Fourth Of July Novelties.

For Fourth of July decorations great
quantities of tissue paper novelties are
being sold this year. These tissue nov
elites hail from France, Germany, Jap
an and New England, so it is not sur
prising that the variety is bewildering.
These novelties are of all hues and
sizes, and fold up into very small
space, so that they can be slowed away
and kept for another fete after having
performed their identifying mission
on the Fourth. Among the forms which
these paper trifieS assume are garlands
of green and white, pink and green, or
red or yellow and green, lanterns, fans,
vases, bouquets, birds, boats, etc. They
are made of pleated paper on a foun-
dalton of cardboard. The large balls of
various colors are particularly decora-
tive, to hang In summer houses, and to
suspend from the low bougf1s of trees
if luncheon is served out of doors.
Many persons use these inexpensive
but effective decorations to beautify
improvised dancing "pavilionsn or pa
gOdaS or to decorate the barn if that
humble building is pressed into service
for the festivities.
Giant rockets, firecrackers and tor
pedoes of cardboard are being sold as
candy receptacles.
Baskets Of birchbark decorated with
Indian heads, canoes, woodland views.
etc, are sold for Fourth of July souve-
Mrs for childrens parties or grownup
folks dinner fayors.
Sweetmeat boAesEcandied cherries
are. of course, the most patriotic
sweets with which to fill then-for the
Fourth are in various designs. They
are of white paper or silk embrazoned
with flags. portraits of Washington
and reproduction Of historical paintings
such as washington Crossing the. Del
aware" and the father of his country
at Valley Forge. Boxes of star-span-
gled and striped silk are gayly pretty
and continental hats of felt, beaver,
satin or cardboard come in several
sizes to hold an ounce or two or
pound of sweets,o
Packages of chocolate torpedoes and
sheaves of candy SArecrackers are tied
with tri-colored ribbons.
More costly are miniature forts, can
non, tents and soldiers in continental
uniforms. These, ornament the corners
of boxes of chocolates; the sweets
themselves are in the form of flags,
guns, hats, swords, etc.

even Col. Gordon. Mistress Elizabeth
Gordon, are you going to throw me
over for that cockney?"
II have not said so, Mr.. Charles Cal
vert" replied the girl demurely. my
father approves his suit and he is nc
cockney, but an English gentleman
There is no better family in the king
dom than the Alaines, my father says
Charles turned scarlet with jealousy
and rage. Very WELL" he said loftily
IF you prefer to marry a man be-
cause of his politics and his family
rather than for his merits and the
dictates Of your heart, I will retire
from the contest
"Good-by, Mr.. Charles Calvert" she
said demurely, as he turned toward
the door, but there was that in he1
eyes which caused his anger to drop
from him, and he addressed her again:
Forgive me, sweetheart; I was mad
with jealousy. What do you care for
King George and his kingdom? Your
life is cast here, and your sweet smiles
should be for the patriots rather than
the oppressors."
But is 1t not only hopeless rebel
lion?" asked Elizabeth, seriously.
Father says they will all be beaten
in few months-as soon as the king
and parliament realize the necessity of
sending over enough ships and SOL
diers, and then all the rebels will be
hanged, imprisoned or transported
I'm sure I don't want to be a widow
before I am twenty. nor yet to be be-
trothed to felon."
THE patriots will win" replied
Charles. sturdily.
What do you care, anyway" cried
the girl. suddenly softening and laying
white little hand on her lovers arm.
You are well-born and a property
holder. These troublesome times will
soon be over and If the rebellion is
crushed, you will lose your property
and reputation and liberty, If not your
life. Why take sides at all? If you
do not embrace the rebel cause and
not agree so obstinately for their side,
am sure father will not oppose your
suit-and / like you much better than
Mr., Alaine," with dropping of eyes
and a pretty flushing of face.
The heart Of the young wooer leaped
to his throat. The prize which he had
longed for 50 earnestly was within
his grasp. He was intoxicated by the
soft and yielding manner of the girl
Her downcast eyes and heaving bosom
the scarlet in her cheek all filled
him with desire. To be so near the
realization of his dreams and then to
lose-it was madness to think of It.
After all. why must he let politics
stand between his love and he? May
