THE FOURTH OF JULY
BY JOHN COPLEY.

BY JOHN COPIEY.
Ten little Yankees celebrating fine,
One Chewed torpedo, then there were nine
Nine little youngsters still were tempting fate,
One shot q revolver, then there were eight.
Eight little heroes, gazing up at heayen
One went with balloon; that left seven.
Seven started in bonfire to fix;
One tumbled into it--then there were six.
Six little darlings, very much alive;
One went with sky-rocket; that left five.
Five started off to hear the cannon roar;
One got i'm the way of t-that left four.
-Four little patriots Skinned up n tree,
One tumbled down, of course, and that left three.
Three little angels! Is il strange to you
That fell overboard-and that left two?
Two little Yankees, all primed up for fun,
One got spanking which left only one.
One little Teller, paused to wonder why
1t happens thus on the Fourth OF July.

King James Bible--Its 300th
Anniversary and its Story

The 200th anniversary of the
King James bible Is being cele-
brated by the Protestant church
members of all the world this
summer.
James the First of England,
who was James the Sixth of Scot
land, was not a very admirable
man, for he was both conceited
and disputatious, yet he did one
thing that resulted in more
things, of a transcendent nature,
than any other one man has done
in the last 500 years. He got to-
gether a bunch of 54 men and
had them make a translation of
the bible into the English Ian
guage, that was the one version in
common use in the English
speaking world and the one from
which translations were made
into The several hundred foreign
tongues, till the revised version,
brought out in 1880 and 1884.
When James came over and be-
came king of England, he brought
some of that Scotch knowledge of
the bible and fondness for dis
cussion, which have always been
so valuable. They already had
some very good trarslations of
the bible. But they were not as
good as they might be and, be-
sides, the people were not united
on any of them.
Then James Numbered into his
great idea. Some OF the Puritans
sent in a protest against quoting
from a certain version in their
prayerbook, which they thought
"a most corrupted version That
aroused James conceit, and he
said, "I'll have a version made
myself" He had good deal OF
force as we'll as fuss and he
could do deeds as we'll as dispute
about doctrines. And speaking of
organizing things il the nine
teenth and twentieth centuries,
James did it away lack yonder,
when he started at this, in 1904.
Seven of the men he selected
dropped out or died. and he d.
vided up the others into six
groups, putting two at Oxford.
two at Cambridge and two at
Westminster. They finished their
work in 1910, but it was not pub
lished till 1911. just 500 years
ago.
No man ever did do a thing
more nearly in "the nick of time.
Some new manuscripts had been

tisements. They're too good to be
true. I'd go to visit my uncle,
Jedediah Stebbins, on the farm,
only he doesn't have screens In

about the swat-the-fly campaign.
He sells his cream to a dairy and
uses canned milk in his coffee,
which isn't coffee, but burnt pea
nut shells. BUT, mebbe I'll go,
for 1t won't cost anything except
a little hot air about inviting him

you know.

found. since the former versions
them, the translators got a more
perfect text.
Then, the English language
was, at last. a finely formed me-
dunn for this work. For the days
of the original Gets, on the
British isles, the language had
been in the habit of taking over
new tongue every HOW and then,
from new conQuerors - Roman,
Anglo-Sayon, Danish, Norman
French. When Chaucer turned
those conflicting streams into one
channel, Wycliff put the bible into
it and did more for the language
than did Chaucer. Now James
found the wonderful language
used by Shakespeare, Spenser,
Hooker. Bacon and Johnson ready
for the Book. This perfected
language was a second element in
the happy work.
One of the interesting studies
which has been especially pur-
sued tho past few years, is to trace
the influence of the bible on the
literature which we call classical.
The style has reappeared IN
Ruskin's thought and polish,
in Carlyle's rugged strength,
in Tennyson's music, in Brown
ing's spiritual tragedies, in Bun
vans flashing imagery, In
Hawthorne's plots, in Millions
sublimly, in Thackeray's idealism,
in Lincoln's simplicity.

FORM MINNESOTA
SOCIETY FOR PEACE
Prominent Men Address Gath
ering at St. Paul.

The Minnesota State Peace society
was organized at the old capitol
at St. Paul for the purpose of a
popular campaign of education to de-
velop strong public sentiment in fa-
vor of world peace, the settlement of
disputes by arbitration or judicial pro-
cess and the establishment of sim
pie, effective agency through which
the people of Minnesota at any time
can voice their sentiments in favor of
peace.
Governor Eberhart presided at the
mass meeting. Those who addressed
the gathering were the governor,
Louis Betz, Edward L. Hunt of New
York, who is promoting the peace
movement; DR.. Cyrus Northrop, Pro
fessor George W. Davis, J. A. o.
Preuss, F. G. Hoffman, J. w. Olsen
and Rabbi Rypins. All expressed in
eloquent terms their ideas of amenity
and concord among nations. A con-
stitution was drafted, which eliminates
the scheme of annual dues. Several
hundred persons became charter mem
bers of the organization.
The following officers we're elected:
Honorary president, Governor Eber-
hart; active president, Cyrus North
rop; vice presidents Archbishop Ire

SIGNS THIRTY-THREE BILLS
Minnesota Governor Approves That
Many So Far.

Just thirty-three bills have been
signed by the governor and deposited
with the secretary of state. Two years
ago on the same date ninety bills had
gone through the same course, al
though the session convened five days
later at that time
The senate in committee of the
whole approved Hanson's bill to pro-
hibit the sale of malt liquors, except
in saloons or for medicinal purposes
at drug stores. There was only a
small vote against the bill. The OBJ.
ject of the bill is to stop the sale of
beer under the guise of malt. ~
1t took the house two and one-half
hours to pass twenty-four bills. Of
these there was none of wide i'm
portance.

Rolls of Rice.

The most important of the agricul-
tural industries of India is the cult
walton of rice, of which a number of
varieties are produced, differing in
size, shape and color of grain as well
as in suitability for culinary purposes.
More than 100000 acres are annual
ly put under rice in India. One of the
varieties grown is peculiar in that it
is too glutinous to be boiled in the or
dinary way This difficulty Is avoided
by boiling it in bamboo tubes, and
after being thus prepared it is left in
the tubes to be eaten cold, especially
by travellers. When the rice is. to be
eaten the bamboo Is peeled off and
long roll of rice appears, which forms
an excellent substitute for bread.

Mapleton was threatened by fire that
destroyed the Mapleton mills and ad-
joining property, entailing a loss Of
100000.
The mills were situated in the
northwestern part of town. Fire, said
to be due to a defective smokestack,
broke out at $3.50 a. m. A strong gale
blowing from the northwest famed
the blaze into confagration which
for a time threatened to envelop the
town.
The local fire department and buck.
ct brigade fought strenuously to get
the fire under control and succeeded
after practically the entire population
had turned out.
The mills, elevator and several
smaller buildings were totally de-
stroyed. Two freight cars, one loaded
with merchandise, on a Chicago, Mil

Stroyed.
