told Mrs. Hunter a few days ago
that she was goin. 20 be married

white folks" A license was
procured from Clerk Weight and
last evening Mrs. Hunters auto
mobile took the bridal party to the
Presbyterian manse, where Rev.
George II. Greenfield performed
the ring service of the Presbyterian
church. After the ceremony, the
bride and groom departed from the
manse, just as the pale faces do
under SIMILAR circumstance.
A crowd of noys with tin cans
and othre musical instruments
followed the bridal party to the
mansc, bent upon giving them a
free concert. While the attention
of the youngsters was directed
to the whites. the bride and groom
slipped into the mansc and the knot
was tied. The boys finally skunk
away, leaving the newly welded
pair as happy a. ,lams at high tide.

A SANE FORTH OF JULY

In the Worlds Work" 4 writer
tells hox a SANE Forth of JAY
was planned and worked out. The
important features was to try to
so arrange the exercises Of the day
as to awaken the patriotism of the
children, TO give them and
foreigners who have come TO our
shores the great lessons of
freedom, independence and the
high privilege of citizenhip in this
free land of ours" Come to
think of it. all these things have
been practically ignored since our
great Civil war. The Fourth Of
July has been looked upon merely
as a holiday. as a day when it is
right to fire Chinese bombs and
t" play smash generally.
Not as a day made sacred by
immortal memories; not as a day
around which namely majesty
clings; an anniversary when not
only was a new nation born. but
upon which there was called a halt
on the %tyrannies that had been a
burden upon mankind for ages and
the command went out. "Univer,e
attention! Nations, bout face and
forward march,"
To impress upon the youth of
the land the sacredncss Of the Gay
of which it was an anniversary,
because of the departure which
it marked that mankind was
finally to come into 1t own: that
wan wac O"TUr4TSC anu UrfcgU~UG
with certain inalicnahIc rights,
among which were life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness"
which made Of the day something
more than a saint day in mother
church. for the work performed
on the day originally was to
change the American citizen frCm
being a servitor to being a suver-
eign.
Thi. ane Fourth described in
Worlds Work was merely that the
people turned out and celebrated
with the children. The prepare
tiOns for it had been going on for
weeks in the schools. I've
children had been drilled for
marching; the boys had hecn
given wooden guns which holes
bored in the muzzl"s in which to
carry flags. Patriotic songs had
been taught the children so that
hundreds Of them could sing in
chorus. The Older boys. after the
patriotic service were finished,
took to bolwing. baseball palyirg
and other games; between roCr
and ] p. m, the chimes on all the
churches were set to ringing; at
night each family had its own fire
works the whole day as filed with
happiness with the rcsdIt that it
was expressed by the old Irish
janitor:

GOTCH GOES BACK To HUMbOL7

during the period when -Gotch had the
toe hold on him. Don't hurt my toe,
he cried at first But Gotch continued
to put on the pressure Don't break
my leg was the next appeal. The end
came a second later"
Jack CurIey's Statement.
Deep in my heart there is a proud
feeling that the American won, but ]
am very sorry that Hackenschmidt
lost his match. 1 am all the more
sorry because I know positively that
he went on as a personal favor to me
TO save the show, when only two
weeks ago he tore two ligaments on
the side OF his leg, which laid him up
so he couldn't train for two days.
The calling off of the bets was
the result of consultation among those
interested who feared that even if
Hackenschmidt was confident that he
could depend on his leg, there was
some chance that hackers who wa
gered on him would not be getting the
same run for their money that they
would If his leg was well.
I hope that when Hackenschmidt
rests up and is well that he will at
least receive another chance at the
title at the hands of the American
sporting public"

and Doering in turn threw, the ball to

Heffner featured in the last half Of
the first by making a double unassist

tween second and first, and ran to first,
retiring Chenoweth. who was forced off
the pillow. Hoover cracked a three
