This Is my countrys natal morn. My

I've bought gun for little John, the
kind that sometimes kills.
And Susie has a pistol, too. She'll burn
herself, | fear.
But what's the difference IL she does? It's
only once a year;
That I In patriotism lack 1t never shall
be said.
The baby has some crackers now that
might blow off his head.
They're somewhat dangerous; they're
filled with dynamite, hear.
But shoot them off, my darling child;
tis only once year.
I've heard that rockets have been known
to put out chldren's eyes.
OF course In every childish sport some
danger lurking lies.
Well have to take our chance of that
they mustn't stand too near
For we must celebrate the Fourth; It's
only once year.
80, though the baby's blown to bits and
Johnny's lost his sight,
Though Susie's hair is all burnt off by
time that 1t is night,
I'll sing "My country, it's Of thee" in
accents loud and clear,
For / have kept the glorious Fourth,
which comes but once year.

A MISTAKEN PURPOSE.


Eyes, dogs may be all right re-
luctantly admitted the nervous man,
"but somehow l always was scared OF
en-, and they all seem to realize the
fact. This business of conquering a
dog by looking him straight In the
eye doesn't always work out the right
way. | never cared to test the matter
myself, but l knew one fellow who
did. He lost part of his coat tall.
And there is a foolish saying that
barking dogs won't bite. Another
fallacy. l once knew an old shepherd
dog that would bark and bite at the
same time l still carry scar on my
shin as proof.
II was farming at the time, out in
Kansas, and the dog belonged on the
next farm The old fellow who owned
him said he wouldn't bite. We had
Just moved down from the city, you
know, and it was necessary for me
to call at the old farmers house for
milk.
"At first Shep wouldn't allow me to
enter the gate. Shep was the dogs
name. I tried all sorts of induce
ments-called him by name In the
friendliest tone at my command, or
threatened him with imaginary stones.
Finally the old farmer would relieve
the situation by escorting me into
the yard, with Shep sneaking along
about two inches in the rear of my
legs. Very comfortable.
But as time went on I became bet
ter acquainted with the shepherd dog,
and as long as l wore overalls and
toted my milk pail, he permitted me
to enter the front gate without chal-
lenge. On these occasions he assumed
a benevolent air, as If he was really
granting me large favor. 1t was
favor.
But one time I called on the old
farmer on matter of business, and
had discarded the overalls and milk
pail. AS l entered the gate l saw a
book agent marching boldly up the
yard. The poor fool didn't know about
Shep, and he failed to see the dog as
he came tearing up the lane.
"'Hey, there!' | shouted, in a warn.
ing voice. Climb that tree quick or
that dog will chew you up!'
But the poor chap didn't have time
to bulge, for Shep was travelling like
Kansas tornado. shut my eyes for
moment, from sheer pity, and then
opened them again to view the trag.
edy. That dog had passed the book
agent entirely, and was still coming.
He was after me-"
