BY Sadie B. Finch, Aged IL, 2O16 Fourth
Avenue, Kearney, Neb. Blue Side.
The British arrived in 1774;
Bent on the revolutionary war,
The troops came In by the score;
Urged by the king to keep ships ashore.
The first celebration was very hearty,
Called the Boston tea party:
Americans boarded the British ships
And 800 chests Of tea were dipped.
Tea was not allowed on shore;
Some In damp cellars was stored;
Great chests OF Ii were burned,
Which angered the king and his temper
turned.
British goods no longer used,
TO obey, the Americans refused.
MuSkets, powder and shot
" ere now eagerly sought
North church signals were hung,
Out from the towers the lanterns swung;
Paul Revere galloped along,
Awaking all with his voice and song.
Battle OF Lexington, April 10, 1875
Was the first loss OF blood and lives
Gage did not think that the Yankees could
But soon found himself shut in very tight.
Declaration Of Independence July 4, 1776,
BY thirteen colonies was bright and slick.
Each year on that particular date
The United states will always celebrate
Cold and hardsnips were endured;
Food for the armies must be procured;
But for America they stood.
FEELING the. red coats with muskets OF
wood.
The British soon met their fate,
And were glad to leave at rapid rate
Our own Washington, so big and fine,
Was the noble man at the head Of the
line.

We took the 1923 train at Fairmont to
go to California. My sister and 1 thought
It great fun to sleep on the upper shelf, as
we called the upper berth
We reached Denver about 10 o'clock a. m
On the way we saw many snow-peaked
mountains We went along the Arkansas
river in the afternoon 1t was just grand
to see the water dash over the large bould-
ers. We reached Colorado Springs about
noon.
The next day we went through Salt Lake
City and about supper time we crossed
the great Salt Lake. That is one Of the
most lovely lakes l ever saw. We saw a
lovely sunset behind the mountains.
We went through forty-nine miles of
snow-sheds Saturday. 1 saw two gold mines,
a paper mill and many other interesting
things. We went across the bay on the
largest ferry boat in the world at quite a
late hour and got to Oakland at about Ii 80.
All our folks were at the pier to meet us.
We went to the ocean a number Of times.
1 enjoyed bathing in the ocean and to
watch the big waves come in. We went
to Golden Gate park, which is very pleas
ant place We could ride on donkeys, in
a goat-cart or on the -go-round. They
had a children's playground which is very
nice, too. We went to Idora park which
Is another park Of amusement.
On our way back we had an eight-hour
lay-over in Salt Lake City. So we took
an automobile and went to see the city
We saw Brigham Young's statue, where he
and part of his family are buried. Where
his three remaining widows live, and we
went through the holy tabernacle and the
temple.
But was very glad to get back to my
good dear old Nebraska.

Dickey went to bed that night earlier than
usual because, as he said, Tomorrow is
my birthday and 50 l will dream an extra
good dream tonight" And 80 he did, for
this Is what he dreamed: He dreamed he
was out walking and he went down by the
river, but as he was looking for a stick
to sail in the river he heard a tiny noise
like the splashing OF water, only very faint
He pushed aside the flags 6or they were
wild flasO and stopped down, and what
do you think-he saw on one of the water
lily pads a dear little fairy man. After
that he looked closer and discovered a
lot of other fairies. They had on little
blue bathing suits, for they we're flag
fairies, that is to say. they lived In the
flags and took care OF them. So they had
to have suits to match, 90 nobody would
spy on them. But they were very friendly
ard not the least bit afraid OF Dlckey.
They did some very funny things, which
made him laugh. BY and by they let him
hold them in his hand. But just as they
were going to Fairyland with Dlckey he
felt something heavy laid upon him and
he woke up to find a picture on his bed
with a gold frame on it. And, strange to
say, It was just like his dream, for It had
the river and flowers and fairies and a
little boy watching them. And l think II
he could have chosen birthday present he
would have chosen the picture he received.

ELECTRICITY KILLS EAST
STONE GAP YOUNG
MAN.

East Stone Gap, Va, Sept.
lo.-The funeral and interment
of George Carter, the young
man who was killed i'm the
mines at Roaring Fork, Va,
took place here Thursday eve
ming The interment was in
the family burial ground.
Young Carter was p years
old, and is the son of Joseph
Carter, who has been in West
Virginia for some time, and
grandson Of Van Buren, Carter.
"a former resident of East Stone
Gap, but recently moved to
kellyview, Va. A large num-
ber of people attended the
funeral, and mourned the death
of their kinsman and friend.
The exact circumstances of
the death OF the young man
could not be ascertained. He
was running a motor IN the
mine, and il seems that a troll
ley wire struck him at the back
of the neck, and he received
the full charge of seven hun
dred volts. He was badly
burned, and death was proba-
bly, instantaneous.
This accident, resulting IN
the loss of young Carter's life,
has caused active discussion in
this section of the proposed
establishment of mine rescue
station at Norton, Va. With
this station here in the coal
fields, equipped for inspection
of conditions both in the mines
and in the operation thereof,
and To cooperate toward gem
eral improvements, this fire
quent loss of life in the mines
might measurably be avoided.

Views on the Situation in
the South.

In part, Colonel Roosevelt
says: "This nation is thrilling
for ideals at this very moment.
and these ideals relate TO con
stTuctive work in the future.
The South must do its full share
in realizing il, and from now
on it must participate in full in
the solution of all the national
problems. All Of us alike must
turn TO the special problems of
this age with the courage that
our fathers showed in those
heroic days to which we look
back with mournful pride.
"The statute of General Lee
in Confederate uniform stands
in the halls OF Congress, and
his memory is honored no more
by the South than by the North
and in the North and In the
South alike / think we are now
learning 20 apply absolutely in
good faith the great words of
Grant. Let us have peace.
The part played by the
South in the constructive states
manship of our nation during
all cur earlier years was Of in-
calculabie weight and value
firmly believe that the time has
now come when the South IS in
huence will again be felt. not
only IN constructive statesman
but IN the enormous field of
constructive business endeavOr.
No part Of our country has seen
such progress as the South has
made IN the last twenty years
along the material lines. and
believe the next twenty years
viii see a greater progress. For
long the eyes Of this nation
have been set steadily westward
90 watch it's great and typical
growth From now on think
the South will share with
the West IN rapidity OF
growth. This leadership will bt
hastened by the completion OF
the Canal. The East has the
Atlantic and the West the
Pacific; the South, even NOR,
than the East and West viii
have the Panama Canal. anC
Will, therefore. stand at TN,
