A 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 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 1849 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"
Garibaldi 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 1tal-
ian established a candle factory on
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 good
deal Of interest in the politics Of his
adopted country.
However, he remained here only
four years; then he dreamed anew his
dream Of the freedom and unity Of his
beloved Italy and returned to its
shores, settling as a farmer on the
island Of Caprera. Five years later he
was in the military field again in the
war waged by Sardinia and France
against Austria, and he was figure
In most Of the fighting that preceded
Italy's final unification. He died twen-
tyseven years ago on his Caprera farm.

Usefulness Of skyrockets.

The white stars in the cheap, one
ball candles" are merely balls Of cot.
ton soaked with benzine.
Scarcely less indispensable to tha
Fourth Of July celebration Is the sky.
rocket. But hundreds Of years before
a Fourth Of July celebration was
thought Of the skyrocket was used as
a warlike projectile. We are indebted
to the Chinese for this also, though all
the rockets that are now used in this
country are made here.
The rocket was used for purposes Of
war in China as long ago as the early
part Of the eighth century. 1t was
soon adopted by the Europeans, who,
however, up to the first part Of the
present century used it mainly for sig.
mailing and as means Of setting fire
to besieged cities. Many improve
ments have been introduced, and rock.
cts have been made which will carry
a five pound shot 5000 yards.
The motive power Of the rocket is
the pressure against the air Of gases
generated by the burning of the com
position which it contains The gases
escape through holes or vents in the
base Of the cylinder containing the
composition and give thus a forward
or upward motion of, the rocket. as the
case may be. The long stick or tail
is added to keep the projectile steady
in it's course.
Rockets have long been used by the
life saving service as signals, and all
ships carry dozen or more on every
voyage, which they send up as signals
Of distress in case disaster overtakes
them. But they are now likely to play
a still more important part in the
work of saving lives Of shipwrecked
mariners since a rocket has been In
vented which bids fair to take the
place Of the mortar and shot at pres.
ent used to carry lines from the shore
to distressed vessels.

Took OF the kina,. Had.

During the battle of Princeton re-
treating British troops took refuge in
the chapel Of the college. Washington
personally directed the fire Of his ar
tillery, which was aimed at the college
buildings. The first shot, it is said,
entered the chapel and passed through
the head Of a portrait Of George IL.
After the war Washington paid Charles
Wilson Peale $3.50 for a portrait Of
himself, which was placed in the iden-
tical frame through which the cannon
ball had passed.

starved and cussed and shivered at
Valley Forge, we went in and give the
British blazes at Yorktown and won
our liberty, and the American eagle is
foppin' his wings and askin' fur a
chance to scream. Shall we give it to
him and put our heels on the tyrant's
neck, or shall we loaf around and let
the proud bird Of freedom fly off with
the crows and the tyrant yoke us up
like so many oxen?'
1t was promptly and unanimously
decided to turn the American eagle
loose and knock the tyrant out in tho
first round Cheers were given and
money contributed to accomplish the
same, and the Fourth was celebrated
In Rattlesnake Greek as follows:
When the momentous day arrived a
salute was fred at sunrise, and there
was general hilariousness during the
morning, with frequent cheers for
Washington, Benedict Arnold, James
J. Jeffries and others.
At high noon there was another sa-
lutte, and, as one Of the citizens re-
marked, most of the bullets were high
balls.
At 1 o'clock the procession formed
and marched to the grove. There were
general good feeling and whoops for
liberty and the American eagle.
At 2 o'clock the judge delivered his
address on '"The Cradle of Liberty" ;"
He also incidentally mentioned that
his store was the only place in Mon
tana where fresh eggs could be had.
The balance of the afternoon was
strictly devoted to the cause of liber.
ty. Some of the patriots got Napoleon
and John L. Sullivan mixed. but it was
no time to be particular.
The fireworks were advertised to be-
gin at dark, and just at sundown, as
fuel was being carried to the square
for bonfire, the judge. noticed ten.
