REDEEMING THE FOURTH.

The movement to make the Fourth of July fes-
tival of patriotism instead Of the wanton sacri
flee to which, in quarters it has been degraded
is steadily growing in popular favor The Boy
Scouts of America have now Joined the crusade
against the use of dangerous fireworks. Their in
uence will undoubtedly count for much and of all the
many good causes in which they have enlisted,
is more practical or praiseworthy.
An English writer once declared that more
Americans had been killed by Independence Day
celebrations than during the entire period of the
Colonial revolution. That festival like Christmas,
has been perverted into day of unseemly abandon
ment and of peril This is not so true of the South
as of other sections because until recent years. the
Fourth has been but inderently observed in South
ern states Casualties and deaths from fireworks
have darkened thousands of homes Year after year
children have fallen victims 70 custom which their
parents foolishy suffered to continue.
Within recent seasons, however, there has been
noteworthy awakening of the public conscience in
this regard. Many cities have enacted ordinances
forbdding the sale of dangerous explosives and have
devised for the Fourth of July programs that are
none the less attractive because they free from
peril Definite results have followed as is shown by
the fact that in 1911 the number Of holiday accidents
and deaths was less than third as many as three
years before
Now that the sentiment for a sane Fourth has
gained Roadway it may be expected, and at least
hoped that it will continue to advance until in every
city of the Union the slaughter of children and the
destruction of property by fireworks will be at
an end.

dumb men.

The Hermit Thrush

BY ARVIA MACKAYE
While walking through lonely wood
1 heard lovely voice;
voice so fresh and true and good
1t made my heart rejoice.
1t sounded like a Sunday bell
Rung softly in town,
Or like a stream, that in a dell
Forever trickles down.
1t seemed to be voice Of love,
That always had loved me,
So softly it rang out above
So wild and wanderingiy.
Voice, were you a golden dove,
Or just plain gray bird?
Voice, you are my wandering love,
Lost, yet forever heard.

The seventh annual reunion of the Larkin Family association was held at Pleasant View, R l., Thursday, August 29, and about 135 members of the association gathered to enjoy the fine day and to hear more about their relatives than they ever knew before.
 At Il o'clock the members assem- bled at the Casino, where the annual business meeting was held, and the officers for the ensuing year were elected, the result being as follows:
 President, Herbert D. Slocum, La fayette, R. l.: vice president. Theron Larkin, Norwich. secretary, R. Anna Larkin, Bradford. R. T.: corresponding secretary and treasirer, Miss Annette E.

Following the business meeting a sumptuous dinner was served at the 1 Casino, to which the hungry Larkin 1 family did ample justice, After din- l rfer a group picture was taken and the l remainder of the afternoon was very pleasantly spent in visiting and be- 1 coming better acquainted.

 The principal reason for this satis- factory ccndIfion' they said. is that the hunting season of last year was re- dueed by week.
 The birds were enabled to congre- gate without being moIested by the sportsmen. In the past 1t was the custom for many hunters to watt un- til the ecngregating of the birds be- fore the cold weather set in, to shoot them.
