met various official delegations at the
Hotel Excelsior, where apartments
had been reserved for him, scores of
prominent Americans and the repre-

them all he expressed his warmest
thanks forr the welcome he had re-

later dined in private at he hotel,
going ON board the Gamer Admiral
about 10 o'clock in the evening. The

SONS from the empress
WANTS TO SEE ROOSEVELT.
Emperor William, indeed, showed
particular interest in the former
president. The German consul
general, in the name of the emperor,
carried to Mr.. Roosevelt the warmest
greetings and letter in which the
emperor expressed the hope that he
would see Mr., Roosevelt in Berlin on
his return. In reply to this Mr..
Roosevelt told the consul general to
inform the emperor that he would
certainly go to the German capital
and would tell his majesty "how the
white man can live and fight in
Africa.
The emperor closed his letter with
"Weidmannsheil'' -"Hail to the
successful huntsman. - Mr.. Roosevelt
was particularly touched by this. and,
in expressing his thanks for the
gracious thought, he said:
I'm a year from now you will be
in position to see whether deserve
such a wish.
In accordance with Mr.. Roosevelt s
desire, before going on board ship the
party made trip to Posilipo, and
the ex-president was recognized and
cheeredf all along the way. The
party sat in the balcony of one of the
characteristic Neapolitan restaurants,
overhanging the sea, the bay at
their feet, always glorious, whether
in calm or storm.
The sunset was magnificent and
brought out the colors on the slopes
of Mount Vesuvius, Capri in the
distance and the emerald sea. Mr..
Roosevelt was enchanted and re-
marked that he had not looked upon
this scene for twenty-five years. 1t
was his wedding trip then, and he
could only wish that Mrs. Roosevelt
might De there at this time.

Harvesting the Heat of Electricity.

It is an impatient. speed mad age,
and electricity, quicker even than
light, is the one agent to faithfully
keep the pace a hustling people has
set. The Unsuitable demand for speed
has done more to further the develop
ment of electricity in the past few
years than any one thing. In this
press the button" age both neces-
stiles and luxuries are demanded at
the touch of finger.
The mails are too slow. and
electricity must carry messages
through the air over the seas
Steam power is too cumbersome,
and electricity must bear the burdens !!
Oil and gas are too inconvenient,
and electricity must give the light !
Last of all. coal has been pronounc-
ed archaic and electricity must give
heat
There is no time to waste over
slow fires The demand is for in
Simultaneous heat and plenty of it.
Electricity, which has answered all the
problems of speed, has been called
upon and the result is a long list of
electric radiators and electric heat
ing and cooking devices.
No more mysterious source of heat
can be imagined than that afforded by
electricity. Without flame, smoke
or gases it is ready in an instant and
can be regulated at will from a slight
warmth to the carbon melting
temperatures of the electric arc
furnace. The convenience. speed and
cleanliness of electric heat has led to
many new developments in electric
household devices.
Among the latest heating devices
which have been perfected for the
home are the instantaneous water
heater; the electric curling iron
heater; the electric hair dryer; the
new electric oven; the electric corn
pepper shaving mug; luminous
radiators and electric tea kettles.
These added to the number of frying
pans, broilers, cookers, cereal cook
ers, coasters, etc., already in use
make the electric kitchen practically
complete. There is no longer any
need of a fire in the house or
chimney on the house. The building
can be easily heated by electricity.
The cooking, washing, ironing and
scrubbing can all + done by
electricity. Water j. .aied to a
boiling point as fast as it can be
drawn. A turn of the switch and
the irons are hot. A press of button
and the dinner is cooking. At the
weight of finger the house is warm
eel, ventilated or lighted. With the
same ease and speed the small electric
motors will do the washing. wringing,
grinding, chopping, ventilating,
refrigerating. freezs the ice cream,
sweep the floors. clean the house,
carry the coal or sift the ashes.
The instantaneous water heater can
be attached to any wash stand or
water pipe. The flowing water passes
over the heated surface and is quite
hot BY the time it reaches the outlet.
There could be nothing quicker, or
more simple than this electric con-
vsnience. Another new device is the
electric hair dryer. After miladi has
washed her hair a press of a button
starts the hair dryer and fine breeze
OF hot air quickly dries the damp

Our Glorious Fourth,

Seems to be you are beginning your
preparations for the great and glorious
Fourth little early" observed the fat
clubman to his thin brother when the
latter took from his pocketbook what
appeared to be half dozen tiny hags.
Fourth of July nothing! I'm going
for weeks fishing"
Where do the flags come inT
That's where the fish bite, hope"
smiled the thin man. ''They are flies,
as carefully made as any grayhackle
or Silverton you ever cast"
"Do you dope 1t out that the Adiron-
dack trout have taken on patriotic
streakY asked the fat man, taking one
of the American flag novelties and ex-
amining it. Whose idea?'
1.-THE first one" explained the owner
of the flies, twas made for the British
Fly Fishers club and presented to Am
bassador Choate at dinner which the
club gave him 1t was Just conceit,
pretty compliment, and no one
thought of really using the fly. Then
one of the members tried 1t on the Tay
and got rise after rise for the Amer
lean flag when the fish had scorned
everything else. If British trout will
bite simply out Of their regard for the
new -the-sea spirit, what
won't the Americans do for their OWL
emblem? Anyway, Pm going to give
them a try. and we'll hope they have
sense enough to follow the fag-swal

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
or the swaying maple swings,
Loosing his song out link by golden link,
While over the wood his proclamation
A daring boast that would uniingdom
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
man,
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;
II is an endless battle to be free.
AS the old dangers lessen from the skies
New dangers rise.
Down the long centuries eternally,
Again, again, will rise Thermopylae;
Again, again, q 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 a
bond;
| Freedom forever is beyond-beyondl

An Emporia Kan) man recalls an
interesting incident Of the Fourth OF
July celebration held in Emporia In
1859 The Kaw Indians, whose reser-
vation reached almost as far south as
Americus, heard of the celebration and
started to Emporla In order to reach
there in time for the big feast at night.
A few fireworks had been secured
for the celebration, and when the In
dams reached the corner where the
First Presbyterian church now stands
the people downtown fired big rocket
up north. The Indians saw 1t coming
and gazed In open mouthed wonder till
1t broke high above their heads. Then
the warriors and bucks gave a big
yelp and, turning, fed back toward the
reservation, leaving the frightened
squaws and papooses to follow as best
they could. People at Americus said
that when the Indians passed there
they were still running.-St. Louis

obeyed, burying his face deep in the

she had retreated so slowly as not to

4 Real Fourth Of July
Champion Of Freedom

Giuseppe Garibaldi, not an American
born, but for time an American citi-
zen and as truly devotee of political
liberty as any Of those who signed the
Declaration Of Independence, was born
ON July 4, 1907.
The story Of his life as a fighting
Italian patriot is one Of the worlds
greatest romances. He was first exiled
from Italy in 1884, then choosing
South America for an asylum. He
served the now forgotten republic OF
Rio Grande do Sui and later the re-
public of Uruguay. In 1919 he return
ed to Italy and entered the service of
the Roman republic. Defeated, he was
exiled again. This time he came to
the United States. This was In 1850,
the year that Hawthorne completed
'The Scarlet Letter"
Garibaldl was then as hard pressed
for money as Hawthorne ever was
but entirely without the supersensi
tiveness which was Hawthorne's curse
through life. Confronted with "a
plentiful lack Of cash." the great ltal
ian established a candle factory or
Staten Island, in the harbor of New
York, and apparently decided to live
the rest Of his life as citizen Of The
United States, for he took out natural
izatIon papers and manifested a goot
deal Of interest in the politics Of hi
adopted country.
However, he remained here onl.
four years; then he dreamed anew hi
dream OF the freedom and unity of hi
beloved Italy and returned to 1t
shores, settling as a farmer ON tn
island of Caprera. Five years later h
was in the military field again In tn
war waged by Sardinia and Franc
against Austria, and he was a hgur
in most of the fighting that precede
Italy's final unihcatiOn. He died twer
ty-seven years ago on his Caprera farm

The Fourth of July has been a big
day in the wars Of this republic. In
1861 July 4 was the first day Of the ex-
ira session of congress, with eight
states unrepresented.
On July 4, 1868 Vicksburg surren-
dercd to General Grant.
On the same day news was sent over
the country that the Federal forces had
won at Gettysburg.
On July f. 1864, Grant was gradually
driving Lee back though at a terrific
cost Of human life.
On July 4, 1893, we got the news that
Ccrvera's entire Spanish feet had been
destroyed off Santiago by the United
States fleet, that coo Spanlards had
been killed and drowned and 1,4OO
taken prisoners on the day before.

Spread your bunting; hang your wreaths; ;
Let your banners be unfurled.
Shout until the welkin seethes
All about the deafened world.
Get your old time speeches out,
Cheer until you split the skies,
But be careful while you spout
or your eyes.
Drag the ancient cannon forth.
Load 1t to the muZzle's brim.
Let the east, south, west and north
Echo with Its blim- blam-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 mortars 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.

With which now we glorify
