FREEDOM.

Here in the forest now,
AS on that old July
When first our fathers took the VOW,
The bluebird, stained with earth and sky,
Shouts from a blowing bough
In green aerial freedom, wild and high,
And now. as then, the bobolink
Out on the uncertain brink
OF the swaying maple swings,
Loosing his song out link by golden link,
While over the wood his proclamation
rings,
A daring boast that would unkingdom
kings!
Even so the wild birds sang on bough and
wall
That day the bell of independence hall
Thundered upon the world the word Of
The word God uttered when the world be-
gan
That day when liberty began to be
And mighty hopes were out on land and
sea.
But Freedom calls her conscripts now, as
then:
1t is an endless battle to be free.
AS the old dangers lessen from the skies
New dangars rise.
Down the long centuries eternally,
Again, again, will rise Thermopylae:
Again, again, new Leonidas
Must hold for God the imperiled pass.
AS the long ages run
New Lexington will rise on Lexington
And many a valorous Warren fall
Upon the imperiled wall.
Man is the conscript OF an endless quest.
A long divine adventure without rest.
A holy war, a battle yet unwon
When he shall climb beyond the burnt
out sun.
Each hard earned freedom withers to q
bond;
Freedom forever is beyond-beyond!
Edwin Markham in Independent.

served in this country, it has already
become a formidable rival of the
Fourth. Indeed, it is said that they
do not compare for enthusiasm, which
is not surprising, for as a rule what
we really need in this country in July
is rain, and not liberty at all.
After the 22d the month will be un-
der the influence of Leo the Lion, the
fifth sign of the zodiac, and day or
so later it will also come under the In
fiuence of Sirius the Dog, which be-
gins rising with the sun and ushers in

Sirius the Dog and Teddy the Bear
are settling it among themselves, Con-
gress and pretty nearly everything
else will adjourn to it's hole and occupy
itself with prayer and an occasional
peek out.
And then or thereabout the month
Of August will be due,
And the wicked get warning taste

SOME MORE WEDDINGS.
Lundgren-Olson.

On the 23rd of June at 4 O'Clock D..
m. a very pretty wedding occurred at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. K. J. Lund-
gren, of Langenburg, Sask., Canada.
When their eldest son, Gus.af Adolph,
was united in marriage to Miss Ellen
M. Olson, second eldest daughter of
Jacob Olson, formerly of New London,
Mimi.
The bride wore a white silk dress
trimmed with val. lace, her tulle veil
fell to the hem of her gown and she
wore wreath of orange blossoms.
The bridesmaids, Miss Ella Lund-
gren and Miss Ida Olson, looked
charming in white swiss lawn dresses
trimmed with val lace. The bride
carried bouquet of BRIDES roses.
The bride was given away by her
father. Miss Clara Lundgren played
the wedding march. The room where
the ceremony was performed was
beautifully decorated with ferns and
and roses.
Mr.. John Lundgren and Ole Olson
were best men.
The song, 80 Promise Me-" was
played and sung by the Misses Clara
and Amelia Lundgren, before the
ceremony and "Bless be the Tie that
Binds" was sung after the ceremony.
The officiating clergyman was the
pastor of the Landerstrue church.
A large reception and dance was
given after the wedding. Many and
numerous presents and congratula-
tions were bestowed on the happy
young people.

Let your banners be unfurled.
Shout until the welkin seethes
All about the deafened world.

Cheer until you split the skies,
But be careful while you spout

Echo with its blim-b -blim!
Let the crackers hiss and spit,
Rocket sticks come down kerplunk.
But be careful how you sit
On the punk.
Let the Roman candles flare
All the darkened heavens through.
Let the nortars fill the air
Full Of stars red, white and blue.
Let the fluent red lights flow,
Dimming both the moon and sun,
But be careful how you blow
Down your gun.
Roar. rejoice and speechify.
Go through all the bag of tricks
With which now we glorify
Heroes of old seventy-six,
But, no matter what your glee
Mid the roar Of bursting bonnbs,
Careful, oh, most careful be
OF your thumbs!
Liberty a blessing is
Worthy to be gloriied,
Worthy of the fiery whiz
OF a nation full Of pride,
But it seems bauble vain,
Empty, useless thing Of chance.

We'll pile the victims in heap, un-

July is the month of human pro-
gress. AS there can be no progressun-
less everyone is hot and mad, so it is to
July that we must look for getting
anywhere at all. sHeaven for climate,
but hell for company" said the pro-
phet. June forever, but July for
growth, says your Uncle Granderbone.
The ancients esteemed July above
all the other months. To Rome it
gave imperial Caesar, the fightinest
man who ever lived. Marc Antony,
who changed the name of the month
from Quintilis to July, said that if
Caesar had opened his eyes anywhere
else on the calendar he probably would
have been molly -coddle and Rome
would have had woman suffrage. The
Celts, who have made fewer mistakes
than any other race, made July the
beginning of the year, and John Han
cock, who was first the sign the De-.
claration of independence, said that
credit for the stampede to that his
toric revolt did not belong to him,
but to the weather.
The lowly worm
Will take brace
And slap the robin
In the face;
The liquor man
Will utter cries
And kipper half
A dozen drys;
The hot consumer,
What with thrusts
And blows, will kill
Himself some trust,
And the swimming pupils,
Burned and red,
Will chase his dad
Around the shed.
To all of which nobody much can
make the least objection. We never
shall get anywhere except in that
direction. We never shall do any
thing to Aldrich and his tariff until
the meek insurgents rise and take
somebody's hair off. We never shall
reform thing until we have rnction
in which we get our dander up and
compass some destruction. And while
