Sec here, old man, don't you
even think or allow yourself to
think you will think of keeping
the boys and girls home from
the Fourth of July celebration.
Above all things, keeping chill
dren home on the Fourth of
July is an ineXcusable crime
against the children and
against patriotism. BY all
means make some provision to
let the children celebrate until
they are plumb tired out and
willing to acknowledge that
they have had enough Fourth
of July to last them a year.
Remember when you we're a
boy? And how you planned,
schemed, conspired and plotted
for weeks before the big day to
get to go and to round up
money enough to spend? How
you laid awake until late at
night thinking over it and then
fell asleep and dreamed about
bit? Yes. Well, then you get
busy and see to it that all the
children have a good time and
a whole day for it, Thursday.
The old lady might enjoy the
celebration, too, so don't try to
coax her into staying at home
to avoid the headache that you
figure the noise might produce
for her. She may not be as
grouchy as you are, so plan to
show her a good time, too.
You'll feel so much better
when you see the kids having a
good time. Nothing makes a
man better than to enjoy seeing
children have a good time and
get all they want to eat. Turn
'em loose and let 'em pull al
the tail feathers out of the
eagle and spend all of that lit
tile hoard in their banks on the
| Fourth. 1t will do them gooc
and make q better man OF you
lSee? Manson Democrat.

Fire Destroys Millinery

About 8 o'clock Monday even
ing the fire bell gave an alarm,
and in two minutes time the
hose company was out. The
fire was located nearly across
the street from the hose house
in Mrs Buffers millinery store
and had got under good head
way, the dense smoke making
it almost impossible to enter
the rooms. Goods were carried
out as soon as possible and the
fire put out, but the entire
stock was practically ruined by
smoke and fire, cntailing a loss
which will be, she estimates, at
least $1,000, with only $500 in
surance. The building was
damaged about $500. This is a
severe loss to Mrs. Butler as
she had many orders to fill for
the Fourth of July which she
is now obliged to cancel, besides
her stock of ribbons and flowers
and goods that have to be car
.ried. The insurance was In a
company of which Oviatt & Coo
are agents and an adjuster is
expected here this week and nc
doubt the loss will be promptly
paid. Woodbine TWiner.
