The city heart, attuned to amuse-
ment parks, moving picture shows and
theaters, cannot appreciate the joys
Of a real, old-fashioned, country Fourth
of July celebration!
Here is the stage Of life with action
in every speech. Here are actors who
are acting life. not fiction-and here
is the cradle where patriotism is nur-
tured and given incentive.
From whence came the great armies
Of the past that have bled upon the
field that this country might be pre-
served?
For the most part they came from
the great, free, untrammeled, patriot
land, from the cottages OF the country
town and the broad acres of the farms.
And the Fourth of July as 1t is cele-
brated in the rural communities has
much to do with the virility OF coun-
try loving. it is an annual awakening
for patriotism and home pride.
Let US go down to Berryvale prior
to the Fourth. 1t Is evening and the
foremost citizens are meeting In the
town hall where a fund is being sub
scribed for fitting celebration. No
body gives much-for there are few
rich men in Berryvale-but each his
mite.
Committees are appointeG-and 1t is
a fitting compliment to a mans activ-
ity and enterprise that he is selected
to be chairman" of the celebration.
There are committees on finance, ora
tory, sports. decoration. singing, pa
rade, and so on down the list. The
ladies are invited to cooperate and
they do, willingly and with a spirit
that puts to shame some Of the more
laggardly male residents.
And for two months the local news
papers are filled with glowing descrip-
ton of BerryvaIe's Fourth Of July cele-
bration. Neighborhood papers. like
wise boasting Of local celebrations,
say sighting things Of Berryvale's
celebration and Of Berryvale, whereat

Huh! What do you care about New

Berryvale. We care a lot-and we
don't like Hicksvil1e because they al
ways come over to Berryvale with a
lot Of hired players that they got, to
Hicksville by giving them jobs In the
local printing Offices or as instructors
in the band!
And at 2:80 they go to It!

into the diamond with blatant protest,

The sheriff and tho marshal stop the
wrangling just priof to the first blow
and everybody gets into the game
again. PLAY BALI" IS the slogan.

makes stands out ike a woman in a

FIFTY YEARS IN PRISONS

An extraordinary spectacle was pre-
sions. the other daS-a gray haired,
bearded man, 68 years Of age, who had
spent three parts of his life-half q
century-in prison for thefts which to-
day would call forth a comparatively
trifing sentence. He was a laborer,
named George Lawrence, and was
found guilty of being an habitual
criminal. He also pleaded guilty to
having stolen a coat and other articles
from an Office in Chelsea. The Judge,
commenting on some Of the mans SEN
tences-hve years for stealing coats
and three terms Of ten years for steal
ing forks, box, and an overcoat re-
spectively-said that for any one of
those offenses he would nowadays
probably only receive three months
Imprisonment. 1t was an echo of the
brutal system of years ago. In all

prison. said tie old convict, "and
don't suppose the things l stole were
worth e20 altogether. l have never

having regard to the past treatment Of

Munich have been sent to Teneriffe
by the department of education to
make preparations to this end, since

MINING NOTES.

A recent shipment of ore from the

and netted $4,000. The ore averag-
cd per ton 10 per cent lead and three
ounces silver and brought a premium
of $500 per ton above the usual
charge of smelling. Preparations
are being made for another shipment
the first of next month. which is ex-
pected TO show an equally good aver
age. The management is greatly
pleased with the present prospects
and the stockholders are encouraged
TO believe that the company has
