EMPORIUM, PA. THURSDAY, JUNE s, 1905.
The Observer.

fla public holiday or church festi-
bration should be of such a character
| as to emphasize fittingly the principle
or the event which the holiday is in
tended to commemorate. Thousands
| of people observe Thanksgiving Day
in manner of which pagan would
be ashamed. A devout pagan would
at least offer a libation to his gods in
acknowledgement of his sense of de-
pendence upon them; but by a large
number of Americans the festival is
celebrated in manner totally devoid
of any religious observance. The
Christmas festival has often been cele.
brated in manner which makes much
of Santa Claus and nothing at all of the
Nativity of Christ.
The approach of Independence Day,
the first and greatest of our national
holidays, makes timely a plea, not
only that the day should be observed,
but, also, that it should be observed
in proper manner. If the day is to
be merely an opportunity for the
juvenile males to make the small hours
of the morning hideous with the ex-
plosion of giant fire crackers, or if it
is to be made chiefly an occasion for
colossal drinking, we should be better
off without an Independence Day. A
parade, such as we had last year, is
very good in its place, as are also a
properly conducted ball game in the
afternoon and display of fireworks in
the evening; but none of these should
be regarded as constituting the core of
a Fourth of July observance. They
are but the accidents and trappings of
a proper observance. The real core of
the Fourth of July celebration should
be gathering of the population, old
and young,in and about the park paw
lion, or in some other suitable place,
to listen to the reading of the Declara-
ton Of independence and to one or
more patriotic addresses, interspersed d
with songs and instrumental music
suitable to the occasion. This is not
an innovation that the Observer is
suggesting, but simply a return to a
time houored, but lately neglected,
custom There is certainly in our
community sufficient spirit and abund.
ance of talent to make the successful
carrying out ofa proper Fourth of July
program possible.

Chas. w. RishelI's Big Fish.

Chas. w. Rishell went up to Gardeau
last week to decorate few speckled
beauties with his new doped flies.
Chas was determined to capture that
big blind trout supposed to measure
about "a inches. He armed himself
with all the new tangled lines, dope
and hooks that Dodson and II. S. Lloyd
knew about and failed to land the
monster when they last visited the hole.
Rishell patiently awaited the appear
ance of the whale but no fishy would
come, not until he lighted his new
mown hay pipe. Then up jumped his
satanic majesty. Charley was not pre-
pared for the sudden attack and rolled
down the old bank, where Noah Par.
ker SO often coaxed the big fish into
one pool, when he succeeded in snag-
ging against ounce tree and held
Mr.. five pound trout in check Fate
was against Charley, for the old tree
gave away and into the mighty deep
did this now exasperated chap 90 on
all fours. DOG gast your buttons'
saidChas., 81 will capture you or perish
in the attempt. When almost ready
to drop his clothes line, to which he
had attached Nick Stern's ice tongues,
he yelled for Nick who hastened to the
scene with his Jersey bull dog. Now
it was dog eat fish and fish eat dog for
ten minutes, when the big fish grabbed
Mr.. bull dog and threw him across the
creek and made for his happy home in
the silent deep. And Chas lost his
fish and dream.
Harry Lloyd, "Bucky" Norris. E. J.

ed to make dose of Pittsburg powder
and make an effort to defeat the man

OF their daughter, ten years old, from
The results of an operation, which oc-
cured last Monday evening. The child
had been i'll for long time and the
operation was decided upon as a last
resort and though hopeful of favorable
outcome, her weakened vitality
thwarted the prayers and wishes of the
fond parents. Preliminary to the re-
moval of the remains to Eagle, N. Y,
for interment, services were conducted
at the home of the parents in Rich
Valley by the Rev. j. NJ. Robertson,
pastor of the Free Methodist Church

time friend of Mr.. Dow and his SER
vices on this instance were most time
ly, tender and helpful.

sympathy of the neighborhood in their
affliction.
