Fiddlsticks, there is something over

Pigs is Pigs" and, likewise, kids
is kids. Fourth of July has been
celebrated all over the U. S. for
many years, and boys and girls have
always had noise producer. This
year, as we'll as for number of
years past, an aggregation of moss
backed old fogies, who, from the
way they talk, never were kids, have
been making strenuous efforts to
Danish the time honored frecracker,
pin wheel, niger chaser, roman
candle, etc. The Fourth, without
those joy givers, also noise pro-
ducers, would be as much like the
Fourth of July as a Jail without
locks. OF course, no sane person
would say that these things are not
dangerous; they are. But were
they not just as dangerous when you
were kid;-when you spent two
whole days wedding the potato patch
so as to earn fifteen cents to- buy
fireworks with? Don't you suppose
that it is just as much fun for the
kids of today to 60 down to the
store and spend half day trying to
figure out just what to buy with
their fifteen cents? You remember,
no doubt, a conversation on the
Fourth that went something like
this: "Aw, you're 'fraid, tai'nt goin'
to hurtye', watch me. Jest pick it
up and hold it with your thumb and
finger, way out like this; Bang! See,
| toldye it wouldn't hurt" You
did it. I did it, and the children of
today are doing it. There were
just about as many children hurt on
the Fourth when you were a kid as
there are now. OF course your par
ents worried about you getting hurt;
they all do, but they were just as
bad when they were kids. So as I
said in the beginning kids is kids"

missal; no that is the wrong word,
l should say discharge. Well, any
how, that last sentence gives me
what l was looking for, my first
group, let us take them:
Observation-Disclosures.
Dismiss comes from the two latin
words di and mitto, meaning to send
asunder or away.
Discharge signifies to release from
a charge.
Discard. from the Spanish Descar-
tar, means to lay out, to set aside,
or cast off.
The idea in all these terms, is to
remove to distance, but there are
various collateral circumstances.
Dismiss is the general term; Dis
charge and Discard are forms OF Dis
missing. Dismiss is applicable to all
people, but is used more particularly
to people holding higher positions.
Discharge, on the other hand, is
confined to those in more sub
ordinate positions: An officer in
the army Is dismissed; the private
soldier is Discharged.
Mr.. Taft dismissed his secretary,
Mr.. Ballinger. Current Literature.
Colonel Goethals will start re-
duciug the men employed at Panama
by discharging one thousand this
month Literature
Neither Dismiss or Discharge de-
fines the motive of the act; they may
be used for that which is voluntary
or the contary. Discard, on the
other hand, always marks dismissal
that is not agreeable to the party
dismissed.
Any one may ask to be dismissed
or discharged, but no one would
ask to be Discarded. The dismissal
or discharge of person relieves him
of his obligation of performing a
certain duty. The Discarding of
person throws him out of his sphere.
Dismiss the people then, and give
command with strong report to
harten every band.-Pope.
All these terms are applied to
things in moral sense we dismiss
our fears, discharge a duty or
discard sentiment.
Resume your courage and dismiss
your care.-Dryden.
If l am bound to pay money on a
certain day, I discharge the OBJ
legation if 1 pay it before II o'clock
at ght.-Blackstone.
Justice discards party friendship.
Addison.
Now we will try one more group
and in this we will introduce a word
which expresses much, but is not
generally known:
Forswear, Perjure, Suborn.
Forswear is Saxon; Perjure is Latin;
the prefxes for and pre- are privative,
and the words mean literally to
swear contrary to the truth.
To forswear is applied to all kinds
of oaths; to Perjure is applied
only to such oaths as have been
administered by civil magistrate
A soldier forswears himself who
breaks his oath of allegiance by de-
sertion. A citizen forswears him
self who takes an oath to safeguard
the constitution of his country and
violates A man Perfumes him
self who sweafs falsely in court Of
law. Forswear is only used in the
proper sense; Perjure may be used
fguratively with regard to lovers
VOWS He who deserts his mistress,
to whom he has pleged his affec-
tons, is a Perjured man.
False as thou art, and more than
false, Forswear Not sprung from
noble blood, nor goddess born:

Poper Read Before the Chd,tauq.d Circle:
The Shattuck Military Academy
is one of the most prominent schools
of it's kind in the U. S. 1t is located
in the city of Faribault, Minnesota.
Built upon the bluffs overlooking the
city it commands fine view for miles
around. The buildings are OF stone
and afford accommodations for near
ly 1000 students. In connection
with the main building, there are a
large armory, hospital chapel, off cer's
quarters and other buildings. A
large campus, comprising about
five acres, furnishes ample room for
drills, games and athletic sports. A
large farm tends to keep a fresh
SUPPLY of vegetables on hand during
the season.
None but those bearing good
reputation are admitted. Cadets
who do not live up to the rules are
soon dismissed. The day is taken up
with study and drill, also practice at
different games and sports
School commences about the 9th
day of September and closes on the
18th of June. The entrance fee is
$500, and this amount entities one
to all the benefits to be received from
instruction in the various branches
of study. This entrance fee also In
cludes board and room. Each cadet
must furnish his own uniforms; one
for everyday wear, and another, a
dress uniform, for special occasions.
These uniforms range in price from
$35 up to $65 and are made at the
school by expert tailors. They are
of light grey with buttons and
braid to match.
Saloon keepers are not allowed to
sell liquor to any of the cadets, under
penalty of heavy fine.
Each Wednesday afternoon the
cadets are given permission to spend
the time as they see fit, but must
remain within certain bounds. Most
of them patronize the . liveries on
those days, and may be seen in
large numbers driving about the city.
Taps are sounded at nine p. m.
after which each cadet is supposed
to be in his room; lights 60 out soon
after.
A sham battle is always fought
during the closing days of school,
at which time the famous Third In
fantry band of Fort Smelling fur
nishes the music. Visitors from all
parts of the u. S. attend during these
closing days, and a good time is
enjoyed by all. Those who graduate
are given diplomas which entitle
them to enter West Point, keeping
their same rank.
Shattuck is one of the four schools
of this kind to grant this prevelige
to its graduates.
A dance given by the cadets in the
armory, to which only chosen ones
are admitted, closes the school term,
after which all the cadets return
home.
This is only a brief description of
;Shattuck life as it really is, and it
would be incomplete without a few
sidelights: To begin with, the writer
lives within few minutes walk of
the school, and has at numerous
times seen things that were not in
accordance with college rules. For
a number of years there was large
cave close to the school, so securely
hidden that only a few were per-
mitted to know of its existance. This
cave was the meeting place of many
of the more daring cadets and
many and good were the times enjoy
ed by them there. The cave was
fitted up in fine style, having carpets
and rugs upon the floor, pictures of
