"What do you suppose he told the
'stay-at-home,' who cared most for the
ruff1es in his shirt and the coins that
ingled In his pockets? The crippled
brother said he wished he could fight
for his country on his stumps of legs,
because he loved 1t.
"And then, one day, they carried the
father into the old home. 1t would
have made you cry, boy, to have seen
him. He was ragged, SCARED, and in
| his breast there was great wound
that made those who saw it shudder,
and just before he died he called his
worthless son to him and whispered,
Don't be coward! No man can ever
pay the debt he owes to his country.
1t should be more to him than father
or mother. Hoist your colors. my boy
Don't shed tear for me. Take my old
! musket and fight for the cause.
BILLY, that young man promised. He
face in the bedclothes, and as he cried
the life went out of brave, gentle
man, and there was smile on a dead
face, and cold hand rested on the
head Of one who had been a coward
and was trying to be a man.
"He fought, Billy, and he learned to
love the flag. He got bullet in the
hip at Monmouth and bayonet wound
at Guildford Courthouse. He found out
what hunger meant. He spent his lit
tie fortune to help better men, and in
his heart grew great love for his
flag, and he wondered how any man
could ever forget his duty.
"One day 1t was all over.
"The enemy marched away, and the
sun shone on broken but happy peo-
pie, and the young man praised God
because he had found himself and
been allowed to live to know the glory
of freedom.
Every year after that he celebrated
Independence Day. He took that old
musket given to him by his father and
fired a salute to the 13 original States
and cheered the President of the
United States.
"And when this man moved away to
a far place, and kept on celebrating,
the people called him Liberty Bell.
"Why, that is you, Mr.. Bell" said
the boy.
''Yes, Billy, that is me. Now get
your firecrackers off the horse block;
I'll load the old musket, and We'll fire
an extra salute to let the world know
that the cause is as great today as it
was in the beginning"
And they did. And they cheered the
President of the United States and the
flag, in the cracked voice of an old
man and the piping treble of the yel
low-haired boy.
And it was all on Independence Day.

A WONDER WORKER.

Stories of c. p. Steinmetz, a Great
Electrical Worker
In the Worlds Work Arthur Good
| rich tells some interesting stories about
Charles p. Steinmetz, one Of the great
est electrical inventors. Steinmetz
has mathematical brain. One of his
ablest assistants spent q number Of
| days of hard work in solving an intri-
cate mathematical problem. When he
had finished it he asked Steinmetz to
work it out. The inventor grasped the
problem at once, counted on his fingers
a few times and gave the correct an
swer without touching pencil or paper.
Yet he remarked recently: "Mathema-
tics Is valuable only to obtain results.
Mathematics for mathematics sake is
foolishness."
Some years ago Steinmetz went into
the Adirondacks with hunting party
Of friends. Not caring to hunt, he
was often left alone at little lodge
that was made the party's headquart-
ers. One night before the campfire
a mathematical question came into his
head. To settle 1t, he needed table
Of logarithms, which could not have
been found within miles Of the camp.
He remembered few figures, and in
short time had worked out an en-
tire table of lOgarithms for himself,
and from it solved the problem. This
mathematical sense, which was origi-
nally trained by hard study at Bres,au,
makes it possible for him to answer
quickly the rapid fire Of questions his
aids hurl at him daily.
The laboratory workers come to him
constantly for advice and direction.
Eighteen thousand employees stand
ready to work out his ideas. With
the men, he is always genial and demo-
cratic. When any business matters
needs settling he does 1t in determined
fashion. He is as Independent as he
is good natured. When the heads of
the works made a rule against smOk-
ing In the factory Mr.. Steinmetz said
he would smoke or leave. He did not
leave. HE can accomplish more in
sdlu Oilt VI LIS uSolStunts,
than 1 can do In a week" II some
difficult problem needs solution at the
works 1t is nearly always taken to
SteinmetZ.
Not long ago there was an explosion
in manhole in New York city. which
made great trouble for an electrical
railroad Many local engineers tried
to find the cause Of the trouble and
gave various unsatisfactory explana-
tions. The matter was brought to
Mr.. Steinmetz's attention. In a few
moments he asked how certain ada
cent wires In the manhole We're cover
ed. Here, indeed, was the trouble.
1t was simple, but no one else had
thought of it. He takes the short cut
to the essential thing. 1t is character
fstic of all his work.

Durham, N. c., says: 81 was sick and

The DAY AEIER.

o, for a crackerless Fourth Of July,
For q 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 unfurled
And our country still is here,
And just as good as 1t ever was,
And Just as patriotic,
Although its expression may not be
So bangle and boomic and shotic!
o, for Observation-Disclosures
That would bring glad release
To muscle and lung
And nerves unstrung,
And cover the day with peacei
When everybody In the land
Might pause In contemplation
OF that which, on the quiet, Is
The worlds supremest nation!
o, for nonexplosive Fourth,
Just one for a change Of diet,
When millions of boys,
Instead of noise,
Would raise 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
GUS Fourth
Celebrate the nations day
In style like that, to save your life,
Because it amt built that way.

WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS
Suggestions by Or. Hartman.-How to
Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anaemic
nerve centers. The nerve eenters are
the reservoir for nerve vitality. These
centers become bloodless for the want of
proper nutrition.
This condition is especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum-
mer an army of invalids are produced as
direct result of weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by the
use of Peruna. Perurl strikes at the
root of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve centers.
Perfectly digested food gives these reser-
voirs of life vitality which creates
strong. steady nerves. and in this man
ner fortifies and nourishes life
Miss Blanche Grey, prominent young
society woman of Memphis, Tenn, in
recent letter from ia Alabama street,
writes: ITO society woman whose
| nervous force is often taxed to the utmost
from lack of rest and irregular meals,
I know of nothing which Is of so much
benefit as PeruEa. l took it a few
months ago when / felt my strength
giving way, and ii soon made itself
manifest In giving me new strength
and health. ".--Miss Blanche Grey.
Pe-ru-ns Contains no Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing 4 drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is perma-
nent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by
removing the cause of catarrh. There
are a multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used off and Oh for twenty
years. Such thing could not be possi-
BILE if Peruna contained any drugs Of .
narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we are
peculiarly liable to in.lammations of the
stomach and bowels. 1t is the part Of
| wisdom 10 learn how TO cut them short
and in the easiest and quickest manner.
Peruna does this by its peculiar power
over all forms of catarrhal troubles.

Congress AdiOurns.

The "long session" of Congress
came to an end on Thursday, at an
earlier date than in any Presidential
year in nearly half a century. The
two Houses have kept busy and
made a record that is highly credit
able to the majority. 1t is record
upon which the party may conf
IDENTIFY go before the people in the
Congressional elections of the Fall,
and ask an endorsement of the good
work of the Fifty-eighth Congress,
An outline of the more important
measures acted upon at this session
follows:
The ratification OF the treaty with
the Republic of Panama, and the re-
moval of all obstacles to the con-
struction of the Panama Canal, is a
matter of great Importance in the
history of the alton. The carrying
into effect of the Cuban reciprocity
treaty was another singi6cantevent.
The commercial treaty with China,
which was ratified, is in part nullifed
by the war in the East, but that is
only temporary. The annual supply
bills were carefully framed, and
there is no ground for any charge of
extravaganza. The estimates were
cut down so as to leave a probable
surplus of 100000 in the next
fiscal year. Many important mea-
sures, such as the statehood and the
pure food bill, have been considered
and passed by one house, ready to be
acted upon by the other branch of
Congress at the next session.
