Unique 4tb of July
BY I. L. NJ.

The most unique fourth of July
celebration / ever attended was on a
South Dakota ranch two summers
ago. It's unique feature was that the
practical little community had con-
ceived the idea of moving our neigh
borhood church on that day, accom-
plishing the double purpose of assem-
bling the men of the settlement for a
festive observance of the national
holiday and of transpIanting our
place of worship at the same time.
The western mind sees nothing incon-
gruous in this uniting of the utilita-
rian and the religious. Being as yet
an .Sunacclimated tenderfoot and not
having acquired this attitude of mind,
| saddled up the broncho in the boil
ing morning sun and sailed forth
Not even a morning as sultry as noon
day could keep me from a situation
so rull of amusing possibilities.
Not a neighborhood nose was miss
ing when we took the count, for every
loyal citizen of new country assists
in a ceremony of this nature-or is
socially ostracized In this Dakota
country Of mushroom growth, where
whole towns move as easily as indi-
viduals," it was a mere matter of a
few moments and perhaps so stout
pairs of arms together with a dozer
sturdy farm horses. before the light
frame building which served as
church, schoolhouse and opera house
was launched on its four mile trip
across the prairies where it was to
be set upon its new foundations The
patriotic celebration was to follow.

a dazed state at the tag end of the
nondescript procession which accom-

and buggies, laden with merry groups
of women and children and enormous
baskets of luncheon, and finally dwin-
died into the homesteaders. riding
singly and in Indian file. The dog
ended the line, following with lolling
tongue and dropping tail.
Slowly We trailed over the long
miles in the almost unbearable heat.
cheered by visions of a delicious din
ner awaiting us when the baskets
should be opened The long lines of
the buttes wavered and quivered with
heat waves until the whole country
seemed to be moving with us. After
an hour the end of the journey finally
came and the building was set upon
its new wall. Saddles came off the
reeking horses, hackamores were
slipped on and they rolled over and
over in the long grass. Then forth
from a covered wagon came a parade
of Haunting proportions-Uncle Sam,
if you please. in bunting arrayed. and
a goddess of liberty rode at the head.
