Ole FIRST
FOUR T III

1t required a long time to prepare
for the celebration of the first Fourth
of July; it demanded nerve. courage;
heroism; the man who huZzaed for lib
erty then was in danger of putting his
head in a moose, and he who fired
gun 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 a 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, 1916.
On that day, fifty-six determined
assembled IN IQo Sldlo mousse
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
it, and what the fifty-six men were
about to do they were to do on be-
half of those three millions of people
-I,< .cot sniff n
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 a mo-
ment, looked at the grave faces before
him, then he began to read from a
paper he held in his hand.

him was in the top of a cherry tree
which commanded the low ground or
swale over which the Union troops
must make their way to reach Nc
Pherson's woods. What followed is
best told in his own words:
4 had been in the tree top perhaps
half an hour when the Wisconsin regi-
ment came charging across the low
ground toward the woods, and had
made couple of shots, when the par
ty of officers rode up on the little knoll
and halted.
4 was trying to make up my mind
which one / should try for when my
lieutenant appeared under the tree
and began observing the party through
his field glasses. A moment later he
glanced up and said:
Ben, do you see the tall, straight
man in the center of the group? He
is evidently an officer of some high
rank and is directing operations which
threaten our line. Sight your gun at
700 yards and see if you can reach
him.
81 did as he told me, but saw that
the bullet struck far short of the
mark.
THAT was a little short, Ben,' said
and careful glance through his field
glasses he said:
'-Sight her at 900 yards this time
and hold steady, for we must have
him.
Carefully 1 sighted my long-bar-
relied rifle at the range given, and.
steadying it on a big limb, took good
aim and fired. l knew before the re-
port died away, before l saw Gen.
Reynolds fall, that the shot had been
a good one, and would reach it's
mark.
Il saw the horse plunge forward,
saw the rider sway and fall from his
saddle. and then heard the voice of my
lieutenant saying:
Ben, it did it's work. You may
come down now, it's time for us to be
moving
Not until long afterward did I
learn who it was my bullet had
brought down, and when 1 did learn,
when 1 heard and read of what a great
and good man and splendid soldier i
had brought to death, 1 was genuinely
cory. / have been sorry ever since
and when the war was over l took
occasion to write to his relatives in
forming them of the facts and express
Ing my sorrow and regret
Il have letters from them. splendid
letters in which they tell me not to
worry over it, that was the fortune of
war, and that they could hold no ami
mostly or hatred against a soldier boy
who had fought as he believed and
simply obeyed his superior officers
orders.
1T was, of course, the fortune of
war, but 1 cannot help feeling even at
this late day that it was a cruel for
tune which selected me, a mere boy,
to bring to his death this gallant gen
eral who had won fame and escaped
the enemies bullets on SO many
fields.
I have read his history since. He
was a grand man on his record, and
from all have otherwise heard, and

And promptly their own quiet woodlands
fOrsook.
To share in the fun and the noise.
BY the light of the moon they crept out

And merriiy sang their way.
Asking politely of each paSserby
How far they must go 10 meet Fourth

Till they came to the dawn of the day
What different song these three elfins
sang
AS they limped their way homeward
that night,
They had heard how the bells in the
steeples go 'Clangi''
Torpedoes and crackers go "Rattlety
bang,'
And the rockets go up out of sight
For one little eifin by chance got astride
OF a giant torpedo nearby;
On huge cannon cracker the next took

Number three to the tail of rocket was
tied.
And ali three Were blown up there, sky

And promised hims +. if he lived to be

To ever reach home. and the damage re-

He would stay there on Fourth of July.
