What shall we say of the Glorious
Fourth? Nature provided model day,
it could not have been better. Further
than this there was not one pleasing
feature, and here we will drop the cur
tain.
There have been no recent cases OF
assault, but an occasional threat OF ar
rest. Say, were you ever excommunicat..
ed for refusing to kiss the Pope'S toes!
The senior editor of the Democrat was
in town Thursday accompanied by three

the Lewiston Journal, as l frequently

A swarm of bees alighted in maple
on the lawn of |. w. Shaw on the 4th
inst. There were a goodly number of
spectators to witness the hiving. G. w.
Brown directed proceedings, and Fred
Holland went up the ladder we'll pro-
tected, but George had no protection and
the bees followed down and paid their
compliments to him. But George never
runs for bee. Bowling to earth with
his face covered by his hands, he pre-
sented a picture for an artist. Abel
Irish claimed the bees.

better.

came down Wednesday a Ia automobile,
accompanied by lady. The next morn

past, and with it fled, all pristine joys,
thus early fled.

The glorious Fourth passed off yer!
quietly in this vicinity. w. E. Waldron
who was visiting your correspondent oil
/, Wednesday, told of little acciden
which might easily have been big one
that befell his little son Ivan. Th
youngster put a package OF tirecracker
and a handful of matches into his hi
pocket, and started for neighbours t.
celebrate with a Chum. When abou
half way there the friction ignited tn
matches, and to the terror of the boy tn
firecrackers began to go off. Th
youngster had his celebration all t
himself with little circus performanc
thrown in, but was lucky enough t.
get out of it with a few burns on hi
hip and the loss of pocket; but wha
would have been the result if his clothe
had taken fire?
The fishing weather still holds good

Mrs. Adelbert Jordan single stalk o

raising it for market another year, ant

Field Strawberries are large and plenti
full and form large part of my diet.
