MARSHALL A HAS BEEN.

Nome Tribune: There are still 8
few North Dakota papers for Tom
Marshall. Either they can't realize
that he lis enjoying the refreshing
repose of the numberless also-rans, or
else they imagine him possessed OF
the proverbial nine lives accorded TO
the felines. However. 1t is not beyond
the realm of possibility that his fitful
slumber will not be disturbed to any
extent and that he never finds the

George soon learned much of David's
life and ambitions.
The Fourth of July was approach
ing and George thought it would be
nice to give David a little surprise as
well as pleasure. George told his plans
to the other boys and girls and they
entered heartily into them. They then
prepared a nice program and got to-
gether and purchased a large flag and
a big display of fireworks.
At last the great day came. You
may imagine David's surprise when
they came to his home, and also his
joy when they presented him with the
flag, after which there was a great
display of fireworks.
David was never lonely any more.
The boys and girls very often came to
see him and they made his life very
pleasant. His mother, too, received
more sewing from the neighbors than
before, and very soon she was able to
buy a wheeling chair for David, so
that he could stay out in the sun.
By the help of the sun and fresh air
he became better and was soon able to
go out with the boys and girls and help
brighten other lives.
Every Fourth of July he now does
something to brighten some ones life
in memory of the Fourth which was
the turning point in his life. Your low
ing niece, ALTA DUNLAP.

A FireIess Fourth
Dear Aunt Laurie;

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The Fourth of July of 1908 was the
happiest Fourth I ever had. Papa
and mamma did not want us to have
any firecrackers or other dangerous
playthings, so they talked it over with
us, and we decided to do without any
or many.
They promised to give us a good
time, and they did.
Soon after lunch some of our friends
came up making our crowd eighteen
in all. They came to spend the after
noon and evening with us. We played
games and ran races until supper time.
We had long table out on the lawn,
decorated with flags and with center
piece of red, white and blue flowers.
We had splendid supper, with bean
salad, saratoga chips, nice Boston
bread, chocolate cake, lemonade and ice
cream.
After supper we cleared ur-the dishes
and got them off of the lawn and
played games until dark.
When it was dark we snot off the
few fireworks we had. All of US chill
dren wanted to shoot them, but we
have found out mammas and papas
know best.
After papa and a friend had shot
off the fireworks we went to the top
of the hill, which is about block
away, and watched the fireworks in
Long Beach.
We could also see an occasional sky
rocket in the surrounding towns, some
of which were Los Angeles, Los Ala

Dear Aunt Laurie:

July to come for a long time. At last
on July l went downtown to get my
fireworks-some day works and some
night works. Next morning l got up at
o'clock 1 put on an old dress, got

crackers.

crackers all morning. In the afternoon
we went up to a boys house. He had
two guns.
My friend learned to shoot the guns
She had a balloon. She asked this boy
if he would put her balloon up He
said he would. At dark we all went
over to the girls house with our night
works. We had roman candles, flower
pots, skyrockets and many other things.
There were Japanese lanterns all
around the porch. After we We're
through with our fireworks we sat on
the porch until it was quite late. The
boy brought down his guns. When we

Dear Aunt Laurie:
l was very glad that you put my
story in The Herald Junior l will tell
you of a good time l had last Sunday
My sister, brother and I all took our
lunch and went to BiXby park. We

a little shady tree on the lawn. L
got acquainted with three little girls,
whose names were Irene and lone
Pierce. The other was Margaret.
After that we shot off a half pack
ace of fire crackers. At 4:30 we went in

Suggests Playground Picnic

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 am very sorry did not write sooner
to give you my suggestion for a mid
summer frolic.
l think the Juniors would delight in
spending days outing at Echo park,
which is near the city and is also one
of the prettiest parks in Los Angeles.
There is a large playground, where
many games may be enjoyed by the
Juniors
Adjoining the playground is a lovely
little park with shady trees and pretty
green grass and blooming flowers. I
am sure many of our cousins would en-
joy the pleasant boat rides on the clear
water lake.
I am looking forward to jolly time
for the Herald Juniors midsummer
frolic. Your loving niece,

A Picnic Celebration

Dear Aunt Laurie:
one Fourth of July four of us girls
and a chaperon went in a buggy to
the river On the way we shot off
small firecrackers to our hearts con-
tent
After we got to the river we put on
bathing suits and went in water up to
our waist We couldn't swim, so we
took planks about six feet long and
two inches thick and one and one-half
feet wide and fioated on them. Oh,
what fun we had! We got there about
o'clock and about 1 we got out of the
water and had a lunch. Then we shot
off firecrackers again and then went
in bathing. After 5 o'clock we started
home. After dark we had some lovely
fireworks which lasted until about 10
O'Clock.
believe that was the loveliest
Fourth of July 1 ever had.

An Old.Time Fourth

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1t was many years ago. A great and
fierce war was raging.
The soldiers of the American army
poor. unfed half clothed-were strug-
British. In one of the small towns a
little boy lived with his mother and
baby sister His father and brother
had gone to this awful war
"Will they ever come back?' the
little boy asked.
I'VE can only hope So" his mother
replied.
But there did come a day when they
came back, father and brother to-
gether. That was the first Fourth of
July. Oh, what a wonderful day.
Every soldier was eager to tell his
friends about the British surrender.
There wasn't any great feast in the
little boys home-only great thanks
giving.
The mother was thankful, as only a
mother can be that her dear son and
his father were safely home again.
The little boy was thankful and
talked and laughed with his father and
brother Baby was happy for she
crowed and laughed all day.
l think it was a lovely Fourth of
July. There were no burned fingeIs,
no scorched clothing. no lives lost.
Oh. Aunt Laurie. l only wish they
celebrated the Fourth of July like that
nowadays, don't you?

Firecrackers and Ice Cream
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Fourth of July is always a glorious
day for me, but this year l have had
more fun, although l guess the fun was
partly due to Helen, my chum, who is
a jolly girl and is always full of mis-
chief and fun. The Saturday before
the Fourth of July Helen and 1 went
uptown and got our fireworks. We
could hardly wait until Monday came
so that we could celebrate for the day
when our country's freedom first began.
Monday morning at the first breaking
of dawn we were up firing firecrackers.

fast. Janet was surprised at this, for
since she had been well she had gone
downstairs for her meals. She could
not get the maid, Mary, to tell her why
it had happened, except that her moth
er had thought it would be nice for
change
Janet contented herself reading
book she had received the day before
from her Aunt Ida. She had read but
a few pages when in walked her father.
He picked her up, book and all, and
carried her down the stairs.
He took her to his den, small room
adjoining the library. Her smother and
her aunt were sitting there. A large,
easy chair was decorated with flags
and ribbons. A robe of red, white and
blue cloth was slipped around Janet
and she was put in the chair.
Her mother gave her a large box,
and when Janet took off the lid, out
popped many firecrackers. She was
surprised at first, for she could not go
out of doors, and why should she be
given so many firecrackers
But she recovered from her surprise
of the giant crackers. One after anoth-
err of these were opened, and in each
was found some present or gift from
some of her friends. AS she was ready
for bed that night she told her mother
it had been the happiest birthday of
her life. RUTH JACOBSON.

very hard to keep food in the house,
and it was not an unusual thing for
them to have no fire. Although David

There were several boys and girls
in the neighborhood and David would
sit all day at his window and watch
them at play. One day one of the boys
passed by and spoke to David. After
this they were very often together and
