Independence Day.

Letter from Johl \Adams to his
wife, written on tn 9Th of July,
1875:
Yesterday the greatest question
was decided that was ever debated
in America, and greater perhaps
never was, nor will be, decided
among men. A resolution was passed
without one dissenting colony, that
these United States are, and of right
ought to be, free and Independent
States. The day is passed. The 4th
of July, 1776, will be memorable
epoch in the history Of America. I
am apt to believe that it will be cele-
brated by succeeding generations as
the great anniversary festival 1t
ought to be commemorated as the
day of de1iverance, by solemn acts of
devotion to Almighty God. 1t ought
to be solemnized with pomp, shows,
games, sport, guns, bells, bonfres and
illuminations from one end OF the
continent to the other, from this time
forward forever. You will think me
transported with enthusiasm, but I
am not l am we'll aware of the toll
and blood and treasure which 1t will
cost to maintain this declaration and
support and defend these States; yet
through all the gloom can see the
rays of the light and the glory"

time the elephant saw him and before
he could retreat the big trunk had
caught him and deftly, but gently,
lifted him down. The hay he still
held, and timidly Offering It, It was

A few minutes later the keeper

The show settled for the broken

prejudice against circuses. AS for
Jack, to this day no one knows who
dropped the cracker in front Of Mike.
Jack looks back to that Fourth, when

Jack took the biggest cracker that
he had, one he had been saving for
a grand climax, made an extra long
fuse, attached it in the usual way
and then gave the kite all the string
he had. Up, up, up she sailed until
she foated fairly over the circus
tents. Jack heard it explode, followed
instantly by scream that made
Jacks hair rise. Out from behind
the tent shot a huge black beast,
tearing across the fields with awk-
ward, numbering strides, but wonder
fully fast. 1t was the elephant! With
trunk thrown up and back Of its head
and trumpeting shrilly, it made
straight toward Jack, smashing down
the rail fences in its path as If they
were straws, his keeper in full pur-
suit, hopelessly distaneed. From the
big tent began to pour out strange
motley crowd of townspeople, paint
ed clowns and scantily dressed bare
back riders to see what had hap
pened. For moment Jack, too
frightened to move, watched the
huge beast bearing down upon him,
then he fed to the hayloft in the barn,
and through crack watched the mad
race. Then the runaway caught sight
of the big, wide open barn doors
(Miss Ann had told Jack to close
them that afternoon) and probably
seeing safety in the dark recesses of
the barn, rushed in, where he stood
trumpeting and trembling with fright.
Gradually the elephant grew Quieter
and Jacks courage began to come
back. Presently he noticed the long
trunk feeling along the edge of the
NOW and examining the new quar-
ters, so he beat retreat once more.
The new hay was not yet in, and the
small amount of old hay left was at
the back of the NOW. A rustling at
the edge of it caught his attention
and he made out the elephants trunk
stretching for the hay, which it could
not reach. Cautiously he held out
wisp. 1t was taken and the trunk
disappeared. A minute later it was
back again. So Jack continued to
feed the elephant, and growing bold

nestly. So far Judge Wood has ruled
that evidence showing a conspiracy in
the states of Idaho and Colorado will
be admitted on the promise that the
defense will connect this later with
their line of defense. But the defense
has not given up their efforts to widen
the field and at Fridays session OF

iting of Orchard has now come to the
forefront w. D. Easterly, who, as
a member of the famous Altman I'm
ion No. 19 of Cripple Creek, was on
the strike committee, and who Orchard
swore was one of the men with whom
he made the arrangements for more
than one crime is still on the stand.
By him other links in the chain OF
alleged conspiracy of the mine owners
and the work of the detectives en-
ployed by them to create feeling
against the Western Federation will
be put in evidence.
incidentally Easterly fatty contra
dicted every statement Orchard made
connecting him with the independence
depot or the Vindicator mine. He tells
of philanthropic work of the Western
Federation through the Altman Union
in caring for the sick and widows
and orphans.
EasterIy will be taken under cross
examination by Senator Borah later,
and it is probable that this will be as
searching as the cross examination OF
w. P. Davis, which the state counts
as a distinct triumph and material
assistance to their side.
Clarence Darrow. who is conducting
the defense, and is in charge of the
witnesses, asserts most positively that,
he proposes to go, directly if possible,
into the conspiracy of the mine own
els, and claims if he succeeds in broad
ening the scope he will be able to
prove that a widespread conspiracy
existed.
Darrow says he can bring the Pin.

in the conspiracy and claims to have
witnesses who will fully support
his charges. If the court permits this

Will We look for greener graves?
Hope ye mercy still!
What's the mercy despots feel!
Hear it in that battle-peal!
Read it on yon bristling steel!
Ask it-ye who will.
Fear We foes who kill for hire?
Will We to your homes retire?
Look behind you!-they're afre!
And before you, see
Who have done it! From the vale
On they come!-And will ye quail?
Leaden rain and iron hail
Let their welcome be!
In the God of battles trust!
Die we may-and die we must;
But, oh, where can dust to dust
Be consigned SO well?

On the martyred patriots bed,
And the rocks shall raise their head
OF his deeds to tell?
