night, Toby. When we are old men.
we can tell how we saw the kings
men steal out of Philadelphia"
That night Johnny had to describe,
for Prudence and her mother, the
evacuation of the city, as he and Toby
had seen it, and before he retised he
wrote, among other things In his
diary, the following:
June 17.-This night We British
went away. Toby and watched them
from doorstep, and I shook hands
with Corporal Benson, and wished
him well. Tomorrow there will be
great rejoicing among our people. and
We city will put on new airs"
The next day Philadelphia awoke to
discover that she was no longer a
British city by occupation. The kings
troops had vanished during the night,
and few could tell how or when they
went. That very day some of Wash
ington's light troops rode into the city,
and soon afterward the battle of Mon
mouth was fought and the British Sc
verely punished.
The year after the war there came
to Philadelphia, by mail, letter ad-
dressed to Master Johnny Phillips"
and when the patriot boy opened it,
he found several locks of pretty hair,
woven in the form of a. heart
The heart was a double-leaf one,
and when Johnny opened it he read,
in the handwriting of a child:
"From the children of Corporal
Benson, OF We Royal grenadiers, to
Master Phillips, who reminded their
father so often of his little ones at
home. Father sends his love-"
johnny often told how he saw the
British evacuate Philadelphia, and
many years afterward an old man
showed with pride to his grandchil-
dren a heart of hair woven upon pa
per, and on the inside the love of the
old grenadier and the little ones.-

While the Fourth Of July is looked
forward to with positive terror by the
mothers of small boys and venture
some girls, not one woman out of a
hundred has the heart to forbid the
observance of the day by the popu-
larly approved method of noise and
the necessary combination of gun.

mother was more heroic in sending
her sons to the training school and
battle than the plucky little American
mother of a pack of patriotic young
people. 1t is to be feared that the
fundamental spirit of independence
which made the day worthy of re-
membrance is very often forgotten, or
at least lost sight of, in the awful de-
light surrounding a pack of fire.

But how is 1t that on this day OF

about her headache; paterfamilias

How Johnny Saw Them Go
A Story of the Days of 1878
\ Story of the Days of 1878

Near the close of what had been a
delightful June day, in the memorable
year of 1878, two children were seated
at an upper window Of two-story
frame house on quiet street in Phil
adelphia. They we're brother and sis
ter, Johnny and Prudence Phillips,
children of Capt. Phillips, then with
Gen. Washington at Valley Forge, and
the topic of their conversation was the
a1l-prevailing one of the war.

day." suddenly exclaimed the boy.
"FIe was taking stroll along the river
front, and did not have his musket.
When he saw me he cried: Here we
are again, boysi' and then / had long
talk with him about many things"
"Of course he told you when the
troops are going away" smiled Pru-
dence. II have no doubt you asked
him"
"Of course | asked him! There is
no harm in that, I'm sure. He told
me that he did not know anything
about the rumored evacuation-that
would have to ask Gen. Howe; and
from the way he smiled as he said
this, knew he thought his general
would tell the son of Capt. Phillips

find out for us, you know; but, really,
can't see how he is to obtain the
secret"
'I have not much confidence in

secret like theirs to simple tailor?"

His Nice Quiet Fourth
James DunstOn Dasho Spent 1t
in the Woods with his Family

And loi about this time the key be-
gan to get busy. And James Dunstan
Dasho began to dance before the peo-
pie, and he spake many strange words,
the like of which had never been
heard before. And loi a red-faced
man with a wart on his nose aweke
and remarked that James was not
pleasing unto him. And James and
he straightway rushed together with
much enthusiasm. And it came to
pass that James presently looked like
bale of loose hay. and he said he
had enough. And every one believed
him. Then he slept And when he
awoke he found that his mules had
wandered off about three days jour-
ney. Then he gathered his family to-
gether, and they hot-footed it to town
And the following day his neighbor
questioned him how he had spent the
Fourth. And he answered:
"Oh, we had nice, quiet day in tha
woods. You ought to have wept.-
Judge.

Now, it was the custom in those
parts to gather themselves together on
the fourth day of the seventh month
and to make much noise, and go on a
picnic and have high old time. Ac-
cordingly James Dunstan Dasho arose
about the first watch of the morning,
and went into an inner court of his
house, where slept his sons and his
daughters and his bird dog. And when
he found them slumbering he cried:
arise, We young coyotes! This is
the Fourth, and man must needs get
up early and chase hi4nself, lest the
night come and find him sober and I'M
mutilated."
So they all got busy. And James and
his sons straightway yoked up his
mules and attached them TO the
springless wagon. And they all got
in and went long journey into far
country, where there was a lake no
larger than a mans hand. And with
them also was small key which
contained neither molasses nor nails.

TEETH THAT WE'RE USELESS
Puzzle to the Man Who Had Sud-
denly Sustained the Loss
of Them.

Harry Leon Wilson, author of THE
Spenders," was domiciled for summer
In Connecticut with colony of artists
and writer's, all of whom had to go into
the city every day, relates the Saturday
Evening Post,
Wilson was doing nothing but loaf
ing. He loafed artistically, and from
time 10 time met and ha6 fun with
some of the natives of the place. One
day he found two men in the road who
seemed congenial, and he struck up an
acquaintance with them. He proposed
a drive and they got a surrey and two
horses.
Can you driver" asked Wilson.
"Sure." one of his sudden friends re-
piled, 81 am fine driver"
They got aboard and started down
the road. Before they had gone half a
mile the team was frightened by a
passing automobile aud ran away. The
driver valiantly steered the horses
into a telegraph pole and Wilson and
his two friends were thrown helter-
SHELTER into the road.
Wilson slowly gathered himself to-
gether. One of his friends was sitting
in the ditch rubbing his bruises and
the other stood in the middle of the
road gazing in fearful misery at two
front teeth which he held in the palm
Of his hand.
Pretty lucky escape, wasn't it?'
asked Wilson, for want of something
better to say.
Eyes, replied the man with the
teeth, weeping afresh, "but please, oh,
please, tell me, what shall I do with
these?"

The signing of the Declaration of
independence at Philadelphia on July
4, 1776, meant more to the world than
the breaking of the bonds between
Great Britain and rebellious colony
across the seas. The establishment of
government by the people and for
the people meant an object lesson for
the nations Of the old world which has
had its effect on every day of history

Those words have been the battle
cry of many peoples. They have en-
couraged the races of Europe and the
east in the battles against oppression.
and tyrannical governments, one after
another have gone down before them.
They are to-day the rallying cry of
