A NATIONAL RELIC.
History of Old Liberty Bell That Rang
For independence.

History of Old Liberty Bell That Rang
For Independence.
Everybody knows, of course, that the
old Liberty bell is the bell that was
rung when the Declaration of indie
pendence was signed, July 4, 1776, at
Philadelphia, and that it is now kept in
Independence hall, in that city, as our
most precious national relic, says the
Chicago News. But there are facts
about it that everybody does not know.
The original bell was cast in London
In 1752, by order of the Pennsylvania
assembly, for use in its statehouse. 1t
was shipped to Philadelphia in 1853,
but it cracked without apparent cause
when it was rung to test its tone. OF
course it was necessary to Pec2St 1t,
and this was done in Philadelphia. In
June, 1853, it was again hung in the
belfry of the statehouse, where 1t was
used as was intended.
On July 4, 1776, when the Continental
congress signed and issued the Decia-
ration of Independence, it was rung to
announce that event, and it is said that
the old bellman was so carried away
by patriotic enthusiasm that he contin-
ued ringing it for two hours. This part
of the story is probably an eXaggera-
tion
When the British threatened Phila-
delphia in ,1777 the bell was taken from
the belfry and kept hidden up in the
state of Pennsylvania, where is not
definitely known, but it is generally be-
Heved that it was at Bethlehem. 1t
was taken back to the statehOuse
in ITS, when a new belfry was built
for it.
1t cracked in 1885 when tolling for
the death of Chief Justice John Mar
shall, who died in Philadelphia, and,
although an effort was made to restore
its tone by saving the crack wider, it
was not successful, and its sound has
never been heard from that day to this.

Hide the ThimbIe.

A game which never fails to delight
the children is the game of hide the
thimble This game needs no prepare
ton and is easily explained to the chill
dren, a good many of whom probably
already know it.
The thimble is given to one child,
and the rest are to leave the room.
When no one is in the room she hides
the thimble in a vase, behind a pic
ture, on the window sill, behind the
curtain or any place which suggests
itself to her as good hiding place.
The other children are called back
into the room and begin the search.
The child may give hints as to where
the thimble is by telling the children
as they come near to the hiding place
that they are getting warm" and far
Their away the colder" they get. This
prevents the game from becoming te-
dious The child who finds the thimble
is then the "hider," and the game Is
continued.

saucer and the jar may all be brought
to a high temperature without going
to the extent of boiling the alcohol.
When the desired temperature has
been reached, remove the jar from the
water bath and stand it on a wooden
table. In moving it, be careful not to
agitate the liquid. If you notice the
liquid you will see that it gives off
vapor in abundance. In a short time
the saucer will become cool enough to
conde1s5 the vapor, and clouds will
begin to form near it.
Then from the clouds fine drops of
rain will fall into the liquid. This
miniature rainfall will last for nearly
half an hour.

UnruIy Locks Betray Sex.
They Cause the Arrest Woman Hodcarier Who Was Trying
to Earn an Honest Living In Mans Attire.

Chicago has a woman hOdcarrier. but
she Is temporarily off the Job" of
'toting'' bricks and mortar up a twelve
foot ladder. Her name is Mrs. Martin
Maud; she is fOrty-fOur years old and
lives at 106S Wrightwood avenue. She
is staying at the Chicago avenue sta
ton at present because she persisted
in wearing the jumpers and other male
apparel that her fellow workmen wore.
The fact that the manly looking wo-
man Who was carrying mud on the
building was woman would probably
never have been known had it not
been for her unruly hair.
Mrs. Maud was tripping up the lad
der with a heavily laden bod when her
hair, which had been coiled under her
SLOUGH hat, started to fall down. With
a little screech she dropped the bod
and grabbed for her falling dresses.
Policeman Warner of the Sheffield
avenue station happened to be passing
and. hearing her scream, ran oyer to
the assistance of the ''toter." To his
surprise. he discovered the hodcarrier
to be a female.
She tearfully acknowledged her sex.
She asserted that her husband had
been dead for two years and that she
had tried in vain to obtain other means
of support She declared she was
strong and liked her work.

well, you can carry the bod if you
want to, but you can't wear mems

assessed her fine at 500 and costs She
was unable to pay and was confined
in the Chicago avenue police station,
but later friends came to her rescue
and paid her fine.
