Fireworks for the Fourth

The Fourth OF July that quickens
the heartbeats OF all American young
sters and the nerve quivers of all
American mothers Is once more upon
us, fact too well realized as we
dodge an exploding coil of firecrackers
or blink fast as we hurry by street
urchin cooking his toy pistol
But while the din of the Fourth, In
stead OF stirring our souls with pa
triotism, may give us Weakened
longing to follow our pet poodles ex-
ample In crawling under the bed,
when the day is safely ever and we
sit at the front window, waiting for
the evenings hreworks-our sidewalk
already saturated by cautious hose
and buckets of water standing on the
roof-we begin to feel reconciled TO
our forebears' indlscretion In signing
the Declaration of independence.
Our earliest recolections link the
Fourth of July and fireworks so indis-
solubly together that we fancy 1t was
the vivid conviction OF the nursery
that Washington and his associates,
after signing the illustrious document,
hurried round the corner TO confer
with the inventors OF pinwheel, bomb
and rocket, writes Mary c. Ringwalt,
In the Los Angeles Times. But long
before the colonial fingers let go their
hold on the mother hand, long before
America claimed her own on the
worlds map, some ambitious wizard
had stolen into fairyland and secreted
himself there until he had learned the
magic art OF making fireworks, Just
when and whore he gave the first dis
play on his own little planet, history
does not record, but very early the
Chinese took embroidery lessons Of
him, as II were, and none have sur
passed this chlld-natured race in the
ingenuity of their pyrotechnics
Quick TO seize any excuse for their
beloved pastime, which they poetical-
ly describe as letting of flowers" the
Chinese indulge In fireworks on all
occasions The national festivities of
the new year are. of course, illumined
by an exuberance OF rockets and fam
tastic pyrotechnic phenomena repre-
santing everything from fish 10 a
man. There are constant local, pri-
vate manifestations births, mar
riages, funerals, meetings of friends,
theatrical spectacles. etc. One touch
ing use OF fireworks by the Chinese
is when a young woman visits a tenn
pie dedicated 10 the goddess Mother"
and praying that she may have a lit
tie son, has flowers OF hope and
promise set off in the goddess honor,
In all probability fireworks were in
troduced into Europe through Italy,
the Italians employing the art as early
as the sixteenth century. II is stated
that fireworks were used In England
in a pageant honoring the nuptials OF
Henry VIII. and Anne Boleyn, while
one Of the earliest and most noted
pyrotechnic displays In France was al

A fNsP congregation was present to

not been preached since the meeting
began. Self-examinations were made,
wrongs were made right, and conse-

DOG HAS APPENDICITIS.
New Phase In Surgical History-op
Grafton Is Performed.

Bonham, Texas. May ga dog suf-
fering from appendicitis is the latest
thing in the surgical line. Rev. G. P.
Ball of this city has a dog that is
highly priced by himself and family.
When the animal became sick it was
sent to an out-of-town veterinary, who
pronounced the animal as suffering
from an acute attack of appendicitis,
and accordingly operated upon for
that disease.
This is the first time in history, SO
far as known, that an animal of any
kind has been operated upon for this
complaint.
