JULY a. 1875.
laration of Independence
Was Signed.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Mr.. Landon Knight gives graphic
description of the dramatic moment
when the Declaration of Independ-
ence was signed. He says: THE
fourth day of July, 1776, arrives, and
every member is in his seat. No,
Caesar Rodney, of Delaware, does not
answer the roll-caIl as his name is
called. A week before he had gone
home to get influence to bear on one
of his colleagues who opposed the
resolution. The night before Thomas
Jefferson and DIR. Franklin had sent
post-haste for Rodney to come, If he
wished to save the resolution, for his
vote would decide it. And now, as
the friends of the measure looked
upon his empty seat, there is un-
easineSs, almost CONSERVATION. The
debate begins, and wakes warmer as
the day grows; the noon recess is for
gotten; the calm, telling logic of John
Adams, the quaint, clear sentences OF
DR.. Franklin, the impassioned ora
tory of Henry, are still falling upon
attentive ears. Never was such a
scene witnessed as that now being en-
acted here. There is no confusion,
no excitement, but the gravity of the
occasion rests heavily upon all. Now
the hour has arrived. The roll-call
has begun. Delaware is reached.
Caesar Rodney, of DelawareH calls
the clerk. There is a clatter of
hofs, changing of spurs; the door
is thrown open; man travel-stained
and flushed with excitemnt rushes
into the chamber. Caesar Rodney, of
Delaware!' again calls the clerk, and
in ringing tones the reply comes:
Caesar Rodney votes aye!' The roll
call continues; is finished. The Dec
laration of Independence is adopted,
and the United States of America is
born as a nation upon the earth!"

ANTE-BELLUM EPISODE.
Removal of LOng-Buried Remains
Recalls Famous Congregational
Controversy

To the cemetery at East Troy, IN
Walworth county, Wis, there were
removed recently the remains of a
man who before the civil war electri-
fed the whole country by the nature
of proposition he had made to one
of the southern leaders III congress.
For the last half century this man
was known all over Wisconsin as
''Bowie" Potter, but the name that
is carved on a plain marble slab is
John Fox Potter, says the Chicago
Tribune.
In the dark days just before the
war Mr.. Potter was the member of
congress from the Wisconsin district
of which Walworth county was a
part, and during one of the hot de-
bates in congress he became engaged
in a wordy war with Roger A. Pry-
or. Potter, who was born in Maine
and an uncompromising abolitionist,
made use of some remarks that
stirred the hot blood of the south
erner. and the upshot of the matter
was that Pryor challenged Potter to
fight duel.
In accordance with the code, it
was the privilege of the challenged
party to select the weapons, and
when the slave trader heard of Pot
ter's selection his rage knew no
bounds, for the gritty Badger had
made the choice of long bladed
Bowie knives and the place of battle
was to be in closed room ~ feet
square. Pryor did not dare accept,
and he had no alternative than to
back out.
After the close of the war Mr..
Potter returned to his Wisconsin
farm, on which he had settled in
1887, taking up the land from the
government Afterward he became
consul general at Montreal, Canada,
but the most of his life was spent on
his farm.
Until recently the former con-
gresham had slept with his people
in a private burying ground on the
farm, but friends of the family
urged that he be laid away in the
cemetery at East Troy, and this re-
movaI was made recently. The
grave is marked by plain slab with
a modest inscription, and at the head
of the man who was willing to fight
the most sanguinary battle ever pro-
posed in the history of the country
has been placed a huge bowlder
taken from the farm on which his
life passed away.

BIRTH OF THE FLAG.
BY ARTHUR LEWIS TUBES.

In the good old Quaker City. by the side
of the river fair,
In the home of an humble Woman-the
birth Of the flag was there.
The heroes had won the battle, with hearts
that were true and brave,
But a woman gave us the banner that none
shall forbid to wave.
She gave her heart to its beauty as she
fashioned its cleaning bars,
And the soul of loyal woman shone out
through it's radiant stars.
For never a nation triumpheG and never a
land was blest
That loved not the name of woman and
woman's love possessed.
In the light of a nations glory, the flush
of pride newborn,
1t cleaned with the rising splendor of a
countrys radiant morn.
With the flash of its stars eternal, deep set
on a field of blue,
Unfurled was the loveliest emblem that
ever a nation knew.
1t has braved the brunt of battles, 1t has
led us through the years.
The same beloved banner that sheltered
the pioneers;
Not star grown dim upon it, for time has
proven IL True
And Heaven has sent it other stars to give
it a luster new
Oh bright from the fields of glory and
proud from triumphant seas,
Our flag looks up TO the sunlight and ffaunts
the caressing breeze;
Undimmed in the light Of Heaven, no
shadow its beauty mars,
For defeat has never sullied the glorious
Stripes and Stars.
The pride. of a mighty nation, the treasure
of freedoms land
Long may it be unfettered for love and
for right to stand;
And SO. as our first bright banner was
fashioned by loves decree,
May TIE flag of our country ever God
blest emblem bel

A Woman's Back.

Dublin, Mich, June 29th.-To the many
women who suffer with weak back and pains
and tired feelings in the small of the back,
the experience of Mrs. Fred Chalker of this
place will be interesting and profitable.
Mrs. Chalker had suffered a very great
deal with these back pains and although
she had tried many things, she could find
nothing that would relieve her. The pain
kept on in spite of all she could do.
At last she CHANGED to read the story of
another lady who had suffered with the
backache, and said she had been cured by a
remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Mrs.
Chalker thought she would try the same
thing.
After the first two boxes had been taken
according to directions, she began to feel
some better, and she kept on till at last she
was cured.
Her pains are all gone, and she is very
grateful. She says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills
helped me greatly, and l will always recon-
mend them as a cure for Pain in the Back"
