Fourth of July.

One hundred and twenty-eight wears
bring many changes in the life of a M

American citizen to-day as it was to the
people of the thirteen struggling colonies
on the Fourth of July, 1776 The bit

ancestors deemed it at the time At pres

considering itself as better than the other.
Because of this change the Fourth of

the Porto Rican laborer finds bare
subsistence easily assured unless he is
handicapped with an unduly large and
unproductive family. Fresh meats are
too expensive for him, however; he re-
lies for food on bananas, beans and
rice. In fact, 80 bananas or plantains
are frequently accepted as the equiv
alent of a days wages of about 30
cents.
This condition of the laboring class
is far from satisfactory. Thousands
are upon level with the poems of
Mexico. They are anemic in appear

liberty Bell.
BY A. m. HOPKINS.


l7T was the morning of Independ-
II ence Day may years ago-so many,
indeed, that an old man can just
remember what happened when he
was a boy.
This is the story of celebration that
happened in a little Ohio village that
was small then, and is still just a
speck on the map.
On the edge of the town there was
an old house hidden behind great trees.
as if trying to avoid the pubic eye. 1t
was, and is, the oldest house in town,
and in it lived. George Bell, or Lib
erty' Bell, as some of the villagers
called him, alone with his dog and
Memory.
He was very old. Everything about
the place betokened age. There was
moss on the roof of his home, and the
burden of years fairly made his bones
creak. He bothered no one, and he had
a cheerful good morning for every
body. He was a good citizen, but
queer" according to those who didn't
understand. him.
This Independence Day he came out
of his house with an old musket on his
shoulder.
The sun shone on his scanty white
locks and face scanned with age. His
hands trembled as he fumbled with his
powder horn, loaded, rested the weap-
on on the fence and pulled the trigger.
There was a mighty report The rob-
ms took wing and a flock of black
birds swept out of the great poplar
tree by the gate and gave voice to their
surprise at the tumult near their home.
Thirteen times that old gun doomed,
and then a quavering voice sounded,
"Hipl Hipl Hurrah" and a boy who
was peering with saucer eyes through
the fence-puzzled, charmed, half
frightened-asked, "Why do you do
that, Mr.. Bell, If you please?"
"Come in, Billy, lad" said the old
man. "Come in and help an old fel-
low celebrate. 1 won't hurt you. Just
lay your little bunch of fireworks on
the chopping block, and I'll tell you a
true story about times way back be-
fore your daddy was born"

INCIDENT BY NATURE.
Thousands of Porto Ricans Live Like
the Poems of Mexico.


Nature has put a premium upon in
dolence in Porto Rico, writes John Ball
Osborne in the Worlds Work, for as
an American official has remarked a
native, while lying in his hammock,
can pick a banana with one hand and
at the same time dig a sweet potato
with one foot The natives are never
theless warm-hearted, law-abiding and
intelligent honest and capable in bust
ness, philosophical, and appreciative,
for the most part, of the blessings be-
slowed by their new government. Race
prejudice and religious strife hardly
exist. There is no alarming intemper-
ance. There are no serious disputes
between capital and labor, and there
is no marked tendency toward social
ism.
Two-fifths of the Porto Ricans are
colored, either pure negroes or mulat-
toes, a proportion which is a trihe
larger than in Cuba (one-third) but
much smaller than in the sugar pro-
ducing British West Indies Islands.
With low rent. light cotton clothing,
charcoal for cooking, and no heating
problem, abundance of cheap native
fruits and vegetables, fresh fish on the
coast, and the dried sailed fish in the
interior, and with temperate habits,

THE DAY AFTER.

o, for crackerless Fourth Of July,
For moment of shootlessness,
When millions of boys
Would shut off the noise
And silence would follow to bless
A nation which in other ways
Is not at all detected;
In fact Is doing quite as well
As could have been expected.
o, for some soundless powder to burn.
And for voiceless boys to cheer;
To show to the world
That our flag Is unfured
And our country still is here,
And just as good as 1t ever was,
And just as patriotic,
Although It's expression may not he

That would bring a glad release
To muscle and lung
And nerves unstung,
And cover the day with peace;
When everybody In the land
Might pause In contemplation
OF that which, on the quiet Is
The worlds supremest nation!
o, for n nonexplosive Fourth.
Just one for a change of diet,
When millions of boys,
Instead of noise,
Would raise a tremendous quiet.
Fourth like that would show the world
Beyond all dubitation.
The really truly greatness of
This country as nation.
Afterword.
But you can't make the spirit of the glori
