upon the young idea that neither fire.
crackers nor cannon crackers, nor explo- |
sives OF any kind. are to be thrown under
the feet OF horses in the parade or out OF
the parade. The fun of seeing the nervous
animals jump will not seem such desir-
able form OF amusement to a reasonable
youngster IL he is made to understand that
he will be putting peoples lives in ieop-
ardy, to say nothing OF the minor consid-
GRAFTON OF spelling the parade and running
the floats IL the terrified horses should
succeed in running away. Furthermore,
the lads should be told plainly that II
caught INDUCING in this pastime, they
will be led away by a policeman and
locked up, to be prey to melancholy re-
greet for their foolishness until after the
Fourth is over. This last they will find
to be no vain threat II they investigate the
matter. II is always pleasure to tell
parents how to bring up their children,

this anxious period are most cheerfully
given.
