Of our daughter Mae. who died one year a.
-oday, July ID, 1908.
One year of grief has passed away
TO us, who mourns for you dear Mae.
She's gone, but was so young and fair
She SIumbers sweet, but knows no care;
Her heart was true, her life was young,
Yet not our will but Gods be done.
Forget thee. oh. when life shall cease
To fill this heart of mine,
And not till then shall we forget
One look or tone of thine.

The Fourth at Berkeley Springs.

Imagine yourself at the base of Il long
low mountain with higher crests i'll the
distanc and there you will find the little
mountain village of Berkeley Springs,
originally called Bath. Right under the
mountain is the grove i'll which are the
warm springs and bath houses, and here
it was that most OF the entertainment
was found. AS carly as six O'Clock in the
morning the country people began to
come to town in buggies and wagons OF
every description and various stages of
dilapidation. The costumes were beyond
description. The town board had order
ed all fireworks to be discontinued at ten
in the morning and to be within the hours
of six and ten i'll the evening, SD we had
several hours of comparative comfort
during the day never heard SO many
cannon crackers in my life, and an I'M
mensc amount of money must have been
spent i'll fireworks, and they had so.:.c
very beautiful ones at night.
About eleven o'clock i'll the morning the
real fun began. The Red Men had the
day in. charge. They came from various
places other than Berkeley Springs and
were clad in full Indian rcgalia aud
mounted on horses. They had Indian
SuuaWS on uldSS uIdNll by HOLSCs HUI
tation wigwams and two of the cutcst
| little chaps dressed as Indian boys one
a little fellow of about six on horseback.
The band headed the procession and
| looked fresh and cool i'll their white uni-
| forms. The Red Men had their head
quarters in the grove and there pitched
their tents. Large tables were scattered
here and there and supper served. In the
afternoon there was ball game between
this town and a team from Harper
Ferry. This we ali attended. but as the
latter's team did nothing bat fuss because
Our boys We're On the winning side, We

representative affairs. You would scarce

they are not letting any feeling interfere
