1t is too often assumed that the
small boy is the chief factor in
making life miserable on July 4th.
The little firecrackers, pin
wheels, ETC., used by the small boy
are comparatively harmless, but
that it is the 'big fellows who
use large dynamite cartridges, line
street car tracks with explosives
and tear up things generally who
are to be feared. And there is
much truth in that assertion.
These "big fellows" can be found
in many towns, and the small boy
is often deprived of his celebra-
ton by reason of the noisy big
chaps.
