people of this place ever beginto figure
out the relationships that are likely to
grow out of the several marriages be-
tween members Of the Brown and the
Price families here the harvest of luna
tics will be appalling. When in 1900
Francis L. Brown, widower, and Electa
NJ. Price, widow, each with three chill
dren, were married there vas some
speculation as to how the two sets Of
youngsters would assimilate into one
family. Not a few pessimists wagged.
their heads and sagely prophesed that
there would be a grand "bust-up".
sooner or later.
Brown, with his wife and the six
children, took up his home on the Price
farm, and there, despite the croakers,
all lived in harmony year after year.
And as for assimilation, young Earl
Brown and his stepsister, Alice Price,
fell in love and we're married two
years ago. The second step in amalga-
nation, with the promise of consequent
genealogical complications, was made
yesterday, when Eugene Price, brother
of Alice Price Brown, married Lena
Brown, sister of Eugene PRICES BROTH
er-in-law, the said Lena taking as her
husband her own brother-in-law, hav-
ing by the marriage of her brother to
Alice Price, her stepsister, become the
sister-in-law of her stepsister, and by
her own marriage the sister-in-law Of
her full brother, to say nothing of be-
i%ngdouble sister-in-law to the aforesaid
Alice Price Brown. Lena's father and
her stepmother are, thru her marriage,
her father-in-law and her mother-in-
law, and the same rule applies to all
four OF the children who have married.
The foregoing is a base for %calcula.

future and place the relationships Of

A Depressing object.

The bridegroom is generally the
most depressing feature of the mod
ern wedding. If he is well off he is
either bald, with a decided tendency
to adipose tissue, or else of a pale
sandy type, with equally pale eyes and
a retreating chin. In ordinary life he
wears sp~ectacles, which at the request
of the bride he discards at his we'd
ding, with the result that he stumbles
over the last step leading from the
chancel to the altar aisles, and is only
saved from falling fiat on his face by

Fourth of July i'm Wartime
By Gen. Frederick D. Grant

Fourth of July brings to my mind
more vivid recolIections than any
other day. l particularly remember
this holiday because it is the birth
day of several members of III family,
and my son was born on that day.
My earliest ~recollections Of the
Fourth, however, center about my
boyhood. which was spent in or near
St. Louis. We were in the country.
and l had watched wiser heads than
mine set off some powder from a hole
in a log, and so concluded to initiate
the spectacle and sound at the very
first opportunity. After tedious and
hard work the hole was made and the
powder set off with fine effect and
plenty of noise-but the second at
tempt was disastrous. A tiny spark
exploded the powder that l was emp
tying into the hole, and my face and
hands were pitiful evidence of the
celebration for many months.
My greatest celebration of indie
pendence day occurred when a boy of
13 at the surrender of Vicksburg. l
had gone with father, who on the aft
ernoon of July 8 held a conference
with Gen. Pemberton within a few
hundred feet of the confederate lines,
and l was deeply impressed with the
solemnity of it all. But the spectacle
| of the surrender on the following day
was a scene that cannot be adequately
described.
During the siege there had been a
good deal of friendly sparring be-
tween the soldiers of the two armies
on picket and where the lines were
close together. All c~onfederates were
dubbed "Johnnies;" all Union troops
called "Yanks." Often Johnny would
call: well Yank, when are you com
ing into town." The reply was some

The Love Of Country
Sermon BY Newell Dwight Hills

children carried flowers, the maids
and matrons chanted hymns, the
priests swung to and fro the censor,
filled with golden incense. But when
the procession, representing the
strength and beauty of Athens, came
to the votive altar of the Goddess
Athenae, they covered the white
marble with flowers.
Not otherwise did Daniel Webster,
with reverence and ever-increasing
solemnity, anticipate the approach Of
the Fourth Of July. To the very last
the thought of Independence day suf-
fused his Eyes with tears and filed
him with a tumult of noble emotions.
And for all citizens Of the republic to-
day this approaching day Of patriot
ism and liberty should stir civic pride.

OF the dedication Of life and gifts to

Empire Lamp Shades.

of shaded Powered silk, heavy in
quality and many colored. These
shades are trimmed at the top and
around the bottom with gold lace in
bands, on which are tiny garlands OF
ribbon work flowers which carry out
the design and color of the silk. An
other innovation is the trimming OF
the panelled shades with shirred white
gauze ribbon. This is used to outline
all the panels and around the top and
bottom. One Powered shade made
over a pink lining had this ribbon
outlining the panels and a border also
of braid and fringe in white silk.
Many of these shades, whether OF
silk, lace, cretonne or paper, have two
scant flounces of liberty silk which
has been fringeu out along the edge
hanging down beneath the fringe to
it's very end. These are used to make
the light softer than is would be fall
ing through the fringe alone. The
chiffon and very elaborate lace or silk
shades are also made with as many
fluffy underskirts as a ballet dancer;
but 1t is always a question whether
an overelaboration of chiffon Is real
ly beautiful on a lamp. Aster all, II
is as a piece of furniture that a lamp
must more or less be considered. II
needs a certain rigidity of iiaa.

Once more our people have come to
the day that celebrates patriotism and
the love of liberty. For thoughtful
men who are familiar with the rise Of
liberty, the Fourth of July is still the
golden day in the calendar of free in
situations. This high day of the re-
public holds many associations with
the two Adamses, with Hamilton and
jefferson, with Madison and Wash
lngton, and the holiday is become an
urn that overfows with sacred and
perfumed treasure. During the first
50 years of the republic the Fourth Of
July was the one outstanding day, for
Thanksgiving had not yet been made
universal, while Decoration day and
Labor day, and the birthday Of Lin
coin, had not yet been born.

persons who become insane by the

times: 1--WE propose to celebrate the
Fourth of July there" Sometimes it
would be: 1--WE always treat our pris-
oners with kindness and do not want
to hurt them" or 1--WE are holding
you as prisoners of war while you are
feeding yourselves"
The Vicksburg paper, which we re-
ceived regularly through the courtesy
of the confederate pickets, said prior
to the Fourth, in speaking of the
Yankee" boast that they would take
dinner in Vicksburg that day, that the
best receipt for cooking a rabbit was
First catch your rabbit" The paper
was printed IN the plain side of wall
paper, and the last number was is
sued on the Fourth, announcing that
we had Caught u rabbit"
According to agreement, white flags
were displayed along the lines to pre-
vent unnotified troops from firing. At
the appointed hour the garrison Of
Vicksburg, colors flying, marched out
of their works and formed line in
front, stacked arms, and marched back
in good order. Our whole army pres
ent witnessed this scene without
cheering. Logan's division was the
first to march in, and the flag of one
of the regiments of his division was
the first to float over the courthouse.
Our soldiers were no sooner inside the
lines than the two armies began to
fraternize. Our men had had full ra-
tions from the time the siege began
to the close. The enemy had been suf-
fering toward the last and l saw our
men taking bread from their haver-
sacks and giving 1t to the enemy they
had so recently been engaged in starv-
ing out. 1t was certainly the most i'm
pressive Fourth Of July | ever spent.
although it was not the most joyous

You'd six O'Clock IN the morning ] ei1
not look forward; and II l longed for
anything 1t was for a little Of the Ar
magnac l had wasted on those louis
of merchants In the kitchen below.
1t might have done me good now.
l had YEARLY strapped UP one bag
and nearly filed the other, when l
came upon something which did, for
the moment, rouse the devil in me.
This was the tiny orange-colored
sachet which mademoiselle had
dropped the night I first saw her
at the inn, and which it will be re.
membered I picked up. Since that night
| had not zen it, and had as good as
forgotten it. Now, as l folded up my
other doublet, the one | had then been
wearing, it dropped from the pocket.
The sight of 1t recalled all-that
night, and mademoiselle's face in the
lanthorn light, and my fine plans, and
the end of them; and, in a fit of child
ish fury, the outcome of long sup
pressed passion, l snatched up the
sachet from the floor and tore 1t across
and across, and flung the pieces down.
AS they fell, a cloud of fine pungent
dust burst from them, and with the
dust something heavier, which tinkled
sharply on the boards. l looked down
to see what this was-perhaps | had
already repented of my act-but for
the moment | could see nothing. The
floor was grimy and uninviting, and
the light bad.
In certain moods, however, a man is
obstinate about small things, and !
moved the taper nearer. AS l did so,
a point of light, a flashing sparkle taat
shone for a second among the dirt and
refuse on the floor, caught my eye. II
was gone in a moment, but I had seen
it. I stared, and moved the light again
and the spark flashed out afresh, this
time in a different place. Much puz-
zled, l knelt, and, in a twinkling, found
a tiny crystal. Hard by lay another
and another; each as large as a fair
sized pea. l took up the three, and
rose to my feet again, the light in
one hand, the crystals in the palm Of
the other.

to see whether l followed or remained,
