ODE FIRST
FOURTH

It required a long time to prepare
for the celebration of the first Fourth
of July; it demanded nerve, courage;
@erty then was in danger of putting his
head in a moose, and he who fired
;gssa in honor of the occasion was shot
without trial if caught.
Nowadays, people who wake up on
the morning of the Fourth of July,
amid the booming of cannon, the noise
of trumpets, crackle of guns and snap
ping of fire crackers, and general
pandemonium of free and generous
noise, seldom think of the years OF
anxiety, suffering and bloodshed
through which the Colonial Americans
passed before reaching the great day
when they could shout for freedom.
There had been long resistance to
tyranny, oppression and injustice. The
Lexington shot that was heard
around the world" had been fired.
Harry Lee had proclaimed independ-
ence, Patrick Henry had demanded
Liberty or DEATH but the, time was
not quite ripe for that day of all days
in American history, the Fourth of.
July, ITS.
On that day, fifty-six determined
patriots assembled in the state house
at Philadelphia. They had purpose
in assembling, and that purpose was of
grave import to the whole world. Thir-
teen colonies, with their three mil
lions of people knew what the purpose
was; they had sanctioned it, approved
lit, and what the fifty-six men were
about to do they were to do on be-
half of those three millions of people
who had fought, suffered, .bled and
starved that it might be done. Every
body knew what was going to happen,
even the small boy who now makes as
much noise as he can, was there with:
the crowds assembled to hear the
tocsin of liberty.
A member of this great Congress of
the people arose, and stopping mo-
ment, looked at the grave faces before 4
him, then he began to read from a
paper he held in his hand: .,+s~

You have all read the Declaration OF
Independence. I suppose. 1t 10 print

Child's History, and at the top of the
names signed at the end to show how
they wrote them is John Hancock s
big and bold, the way a person would
write if he were doing it with a burnt
match. Papa used to gather us to-
gether in the parlor after breakfast
every Fourth Of July and read us parts
of it and explain the long words, SO
that we would understand what the
Fourth of July was really for-that it
wasn't just to burn holes in your
clothes, and brighten horses, and leave
stubs of fire crackers on the sidewalk
that don't get swept off for days. When
we children came to have our own
revolution against the governess that
time mamma and papa went away to
be gone two days, we knew just how to
go about it.; and we wrote a Declare
ton of Independence, copying it az
ter the real true one, and then we all
signed our names at the bottom with
big flourishes, the way John Hancock
and the others did.
We thought with all our preparation
success was sure, just as the patriots
of rs were successful as the reward
Of their daring, but alas! .
Our governess' name was Georgiana
Saunders-which made it
all the more appropriate, because the
name of the King about whom the orr
ginal Declaration was written was
George, as you probably know.
When we got the Declaration done,
it was something like this some of the
language we took from the book and
some we made up ourselves:
When in the course of human events
it becomes necessary for something to
be done about it, and we can't stand it
