The Patriot.

This is my country's natal morn, my heart
with rapture thrills
I've bought gun for little John, the kind
that sometimes kills,
And Susie has a pistol, too-she1l burn
herself, | fear,
But what's the difference if she does? it's
only once year.
That / in patriotism lack, it never shall be
said
The baby has some crackers now, that
might blow off his head.
They're somewhat dangerous, for they're
filled with dynamite, / hear;
But shoot them off, my darling child, tits
only once year.
I've heard that rockets have been known
to put out children's eyes
Of course in every childish sport, some
danger lurking lies.
Well have to take our chance of that,
they mustn't stand too near,
For we must celebrate the Fourth, It's only
once year.
So though the baby's blown to bits, and
Johnny's lost his sight,
Though Susie's hair is all burnt off by
time that it is night,
I'll sing, "My country, It's of thee" in ac-
cents loud and clear,
For have kept the glorious Fourth, which
comes but once a year.

Why not buy them some of the

him a lifelong sufferer?

so pretty when throwing off the diff

the roman candles and skyrockets eat
up enough money, but not half as
much as the many packs of firecrack-

Take your children away from the
noisy city ind arrange your fireworks
so they may be set off in the suburbs
somewhere and enjoy them after you
have had an evening meal near the
woods. 1t will give you and the chill

A gay young cavalier, in the scar
let and gold of an English soldiers
uniform, stood talking with a brown
haired girl, on the veranda of a
quaint old Dutch house in New Jer-
sey.
1t was in the year 1776, and the
young people were typical represen-
tatives of two widely different classes,
with bitter feud between them.
But young hearts are often truer
to nature than to the well-taught
rules of social prejudice, and so the
British regular talked in low, eager
tones with the Puritan maiden, and
both forgot how seriously they ought
to hate each other.
81 believe your heart is with u.s."
said the girl, looking up with happy
smile into the face that bent above
hers, and meeting the earnest eyes.
"My heart is with you, little Faith
that l will not deny" answered the
soldier. ''And 1 remember very we'll
all the arguments that our dear Corn
wallis used against this war before
we left England, but 1 have learned
to say, with him: My secret thoughts
belong to my soul, and my soul to
God; but my right arm is my Kings,
and all the strength of my body must
go with that Therefore, you will
win no reasonable word from me.
Only remember, darling, that am
yours, and you are mine, and when

Dear Gil, do not talk in that way.
You know there is an old legend that
the Veres bear charmed lives in bat

Her voice trembled as she spoke.
"And you, too, are Vere!" he
said, almost triumphantly.
Then turning to the long window
that opened from the veranda where
they stood, he slipped the diamond
ring from his finger, and wrote in
clear, round hand on the glass:
Faith We're Underworld"
'Now, remember, little one, you
are to be my faithful heart, to wait
patiently until am free. Then we
will add another We're to your name,

ooh, Gil, it seems so real to you,
and so solemn, that I shudder when
think of it; and how angry our par
ents would be if they knew we had

BANQUET HALL, INDEPENDENCE HALL.

The picnic music beat the band,
The air was full of airs;
And while the drinkers drank their horns
The tooters footed theirs.
The bill-of-fare was just the thing
To make the patriots hop;
For crackers were the food they ate,
And what they drank was pop.
And when the day was done l thought
One-fourth of so much noise
Was quite enough to satisfy
Our patriotic joys.

FRESH LIGHT ON
THE REVOLUTION.
Recent Discovery OF Sketches
and Papers Kept by a French
Officer During the American
Revolution.

and Papers kept by French
Officer During the American
Revolution.
A recent discovery in Europe of
sketches and papers kept by one of
the officers of the French army while
in this country during the War of
independence has proved most inter-
esting. The manuscripts were found
in the castle of the Won Chosen family,
in Bavaria, near Munich, and include
the journals of Ludwig, Baron Won
Chosen, aide to Count Rochambeau.
The portraits and sketches, as well
as the many papers which accompany
them, are of great historical value.
There is a silhouette Of Nellie Gusts,
crayon drawing by Alexander Ham
ilton of Martha Washington, and a
portrait of Baron Won Chosen himself
The journal consists of two large vol
umes of two hundred pages each,
closely written in French These
manuscripts and portraits were
shown to President Roosevelt and
were returned to the Won Chosen fam
lily after a transcript of the journal
had been made by the Library Of
Congress.
One of the manuscripts in the col
lection contains the orders given by
Count Rochambeau before the en-
barkation of the French army in
Rhode Island. A description IS given
of the entire organization and mode
of payment of the corps, which is de-
clared an auxiliary to the American
army. The French soldiers Shall
add black to their cockade, because
it (black) is the color Of the United
States of America" How the army
returned in five divisions from Vir-
ginia to Boston at the close of the
Revolutionary War is described in
another document. The number of
miles covered by the several divisions
is given; the villages, taverns, fords
and bridges on the way are set down,
as we'll as the places where the differ
ent divisions halted. Reference may
also be made to Calvin, mentioned
for his conspicuous bravery in the
orders of the day by Lafayette in his
report on the affair between Wayne
and Corvallis Calvin committed
suicide in Philadelphia, July "a,
1882. A letter from Calvin, found
after his death, addressed to Lieu
tenant-Colonel Livingston, Major
Clarkson and William Bingham, be-
gan as follows: "Adieu, my dear
friends. Life has become too heavy
a burden"
From the same letter is translated
this sentence, which refers to Miss
Sally Shipper, one of three daughters
of Edward Shipper, of Philadelphia,
the youngest daughter being well
known as Margaret, or Peggy, Ship
pen, the second wife of General Bene-
diet Arnold: "Give my portrait to
Miss Sally Shipper, and tell her that
gratitude for her friendship will be
one of the last emotions that shall
accompany me in death" Galvin's
letter ends as follows: 81 depart as
gayly and almost as eagerly as when
our friend General Wayne sent me to
attack Lord CORVALLIS, and l hope
that l may succeed better in out
fianking love than did in outfank-
ing the English army From "a

GRADE CROSSINGS MAY
BE GRAND JURY SUBJECT
Inquisitoria Body Calls Railroad En-
gineer, Supervisors and High
way Commissioners to Testify

Something more than an investiga-
tion of the construction of roads under
the county highway commission ap-
pears to have been commenced by the
grand jury, and 1t is believed that the
proper protection of railway crossings
is about to be discussed.
An active session of the inquisito-
rial body was held yesterday, at
which II. B. Titcomb, civil engineer of
the Southern Pacific for the district
between Fresno and Ell Paso, was
called as a witness. When subpoenaed
he had no idea of what the jury want
ed with him, and after he came out he
would tell nothing, because he had
been sworn to keep silent. An inter-
esting situation in which he is placed
is that he is required to give a report
to officials of the road, and last night
he was in a quandary.
J. II. Melville, assistant secretary of
the Metropolitan Sprinkling company,
was also called as a witness, but moth
ing could be learned from him. George
II. Bixby, chairman of the highway
commission; ]. w. Calvert, member of
the same body; c. d. Daggett of Pas
adena, former chairman of the COM
mission who was deposed by the su-
pervlsors to give place to Calvert; II.
D. McCabe, supervisor of the Second
district, nd r. w. Pridham, supervisor
for the Fifth district, were called as
witnesses yesterday.

PASTEUR TREATMENT
GIVEN DOGS VICTIM
Or. w. J. Chambers InJects Emulsion
from Spine of Canine Into
Patient and Is Confident
of Success

DR.. W. ]. Chambers of the board of
health yesterday began the Pasteur
treatment for rabies on E. r. Seldom,
who was bitten by a mad dog about
ten days ago. The operation was per-
formed in the city's chemical labora-
tory, and DIR. Chambers has confidence
1t will prove a complete success.
The operation consists in injecting
an emulsion of the spinal cord of a
dog that has been inoculated with
rabies. When the dog develops the
disease after incubation he is killed
and the spinal cord taken out and
dried. The length of time the drying
process continues determines the
strength of the virus. In one days
drying 1t is very strong, and weakens
with each additional day.
The injection of this emulsion must
continue every day for twenty-one
days. After the symptoms of the dis
ease begin to show this treatment is
of no value. but if the patient is treat
ed before the symptoms appear a cure
is assured. Mr.. Seldom has not devel-
oped any symptoms as yet.

TRIAL OF MAN WITH HIGH
CONNECTIONS IS DELAYED
Relationship to Congressman and a
Noted Judge Alleged to Be Basis
for Stock SwindIe

Press of court business before Judge
Davis of department twelve yesterday
resulted in the trial of 1. r. Lands
going over until this morning. Lands
is charged by George Wasem with rep
resenting himself as the son of Con-
gresham Landis of Indiana and the
nephew of Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Lands of Chicago, to form a pedigree
as a base for entering Wasem's con-
fidence.
Wasem charges that with this ex-
cellent array of talent "in the family
Lands induced him to invest $500 in
mining stock August 26, 1907, in the
Nevada Mining and Milling company.
Wasem declares he gave Lands the
money and later found his representa-
tions of relationship and the value of
the mine were untrue. Lands is still
in Jail, being unable to furnish bond.
