Fourth Of Sul4 Don't s.

Don't get the day mixed up with
circus. This is the real old fourth of
July, and no imitation about it.
A bunch of firecrackers tied to a
dogs tail and set to popping will run
him seven miles and make him cross
eyed at the end of it. Don't do it.
If you go out riding don't try to
make the horse go faster by explod-
ing torpedoes on his back He knows
the day as well as you, and will try to
do his best.
It's no day to go fishing, but if you
do go don't be disappointed if the fish
you catch are not red, white and blue
and have no stars painted on their
tails.
Don't buy half a pound of powder
and carry it loose in your coat pocket.
Powder has been known to lift a boy
80 feet into the air and drop him
back with a thud to hurt. It's day
for balloons to go up-not boys.
If it rains, and you happen to have
the right kind of father, he'll let you
celebrate upstairs or down cellar
Don't blow the house up oftner than
you can help.
Don't eat too much, drink too much
nor yell too much. You want to have
something of yourself left for another
day. If all the patriots had Killed
| themselves off the first Fourth of July
we shouldn't have gained our indie
! pendence.
The family cat ought TO be willing
| to sit on the fence and let you fire a
toy cannon at her for an hour or two,
but if she objects, then don't do it.
Fire at somebody's goat or your
neighbours dog. We can't run this
country without cats.
Don't get George Washington and
Christopher Columbus mixed up. One
discovered the country and the other
saved it. One glass of lemonade will
do for the both of them if you don't
spill too much on your shirt-front.
If it's a hot day don't get sunstruck;
If it's a cool one don't let your en-.
thusiasm get a chill.

Ne ".elorious' Fourth.

Come on, my dear children, now let's
nave some run,
These big cannon crackers go off like
a gun.
What? You've put your left eye out?
What matters an eye
To one who would celebrate Fourth
of July!
Now fire off your rifles, and set oft
your bombs,
Don't mind if you do lose some fingers
and thumbs.
What? You've shattered your arm2
Tie it up in a sling,
Don't stop the proceedings for such a
small thing.
And now for the cannon, and now for
the shell;
The day is progressing exceedingly
well.
What's that? Little Johnny has
blown off an ear?
Well, such things will happen. Don't
cry so, my dear.
These jumbo torpedoes go off
mighty loud,
Let's fire one right down in the midst
of the crowd.
What shrieking and bowling! Are
many hurt? Yes?
Well, this celebration has been a sue
cess.

book showing that the Fourth Of July
ought to come on the I'd of the month.
The book is entitled The Story of the
Declaration of independence, and the
author is Col. VIM. H. Michael, who
has charge OF that historic document
and the priceless archives which go
with it.
| The brief account given in the pref
ace of the adoption of the Declaration
of independence shows that congress
passed the resolution on July 2.
That is really the date on which
majority of the peoples representa-
tives formally and legally expressed
their intent.
According to the journal of that
congress, the original of which is on
file, nothing actually happened on the
fourth of July 1776.
On the 9th of July the vote, by
states, was made unanimous by the
addition of New York, which had not
before been authorized to take this
course. SO this date might be cele-
| brated if it were desired to commem-
crate the date of the complete adop.
ton of the resolution.
II it were desired to commemorate
the day when the declaration was
signed, August 2 might be selected,
as on that day the members of con
gress began to attach their signatures
to the formally drafted document.
BY an error in the journal a note
was made ON the 10th of July to this
effect: ordered that the declaration
(passed on the fourth) be fairly en-.
crossed on parchment, with the title
and style of The Unanimous Decla-
ration of the Thirteen United States
of America.
1t is evident that the journal should
have read passed on the 3D." for
that was the day when Richard Henry
Lees resolution commanded a major
ity of the votes. On that day the res
olution received the votes of all OF
New England. New Jersey, Maryland
Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia
South Carolina and Pennsylvania
voted against it. The Delaware vote
was evenly divided; the New York
delegates were uninstructed, and re
Trained from voting.
The next day, July 8, Caesar Rod
ney, of Delaware, came eighty miles
on horseback, as hard as the beas
could go to add his vote for indie
pendence, and thus Delaware was
swung into line. 1t was several days
later that Pennsylvania and New Yorl
came wabbling along.
The first celebration of independ
ence day was at Philadelphia, OF
July s, when the sheriff of that cit!
read copy of the original declara
ton. passed on the I'd
The man who drafted the resolu
ton passed on the second of July
which consisted of a short paragraph
sufficient to voice the sentiment o
each state for or against the proposed
war for independence, was Richard
| Henry Lee.
The man who supported the resolu
ton on the floor, and led in the de
, bate which preceded the vote, wa
/. John Adams.
The man no afterward drafted tn
t formal declaration to the OUTSIDE
world, embodying the sentiment 0
. the Lee resolution, was Thomas JET

COOL ATTEMPT TO GAIN LIBERTY
Stackpole StrolIs Out of the Door of
the Court Room.

Los Angeles.-Ernest Stackpole,
whose trial for the murder of Joel
Scheck was concluded Saturday while
waiting in department 1 at the court
house for the verdict of the jury,
made a clever and almost successful
effort to escape from the building. I'm
noticed by Bailiff Harrington he
strolled out through the door of the
court room into the chamber of Judge
James, where an open door led into
the corridors of the court. He had
scarcely entered the judges chamber
when Harrington caught sight of him
and sprang for the open door. Har-
rington succeeded in rushing in front
of Stackpole and throwing the door
shut and locking it. He then clapped
handouts on the prisoner and led him
back into the court room. Stackpole
was cool and collected and had moth
ing to say after the episode. 1t is the
second time during the present trial
that he has made the same sort of
effort to escape from the officers.

Good coIors for Houses.

1t is not generally known--not even
among painters-why certain tints and
colors wear much better than others on
houses, and the knowledge of just what
tints are best to use is, therefore, rather
hay.
One writer on paints, in recent book,
says that experiments seem to show that
those colors which resist or turn back
the heat rays of the sun, will protect
house better than those which allow these
rays to pass through the film.
Thus red is a good color because it
turns back, or reflects the red rays, and
the red rays are the hot rays.
In general therefore, the warm tones
are good and the cold tones are poor, so
far as wear is concerned. In choosing
the color of paint for your house, select
reds, browns, grays and olives, which,
considering the various tones these tints
will produce, will give wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows like lemon), cold green's Qike
grass green, etc.), and the blues.
1t must be understood that no virtue
is claimed for tints in themselves, ire
spective of the materials used in the
paint. Any color will fade, and the paint
will scale off, if adulterated white lead
OF canned paint is used, but if one is
careful to use the best white lead-some
well-known brand of reliable manufac-
turer-and genuine linseed oil, the warm
tints mentioned above will outwear the
same material tinted with the cold colors.

ANOTHER REVOLUTION
FOR SANT0 DOMINGO
Oajabon Captured and PiIIaged by
RevoIutionists After Twenty
Lives Had Been Sacrificed.

Cape Haytien.-A serious revolu-
ton, according to advices received
here by courier has broken out in
Santo Domingo Revolutionary bands
under the command of General Ma
varro are said to have landed near
REVERE and to have attacked and cap
tured Dajabon, which was pillaged
and abandoned after twenty persons
had been killed
The revolutionists are now said to
be near Guayabin and to be marching
on to Monte Christi.
The arrival of General Deschamps
is anxiously awaited by the revolu-
tionists. 1t is understood that he will
assume command of the forces and
operate against the government in
favor of former President Jiminez.
A state of anarchy prevails in the
northern part of Santo Domingo. All
commerce with the interior has beer
stopped and traffic in the northern dis
tricts has been prohibited.
