Rough on the Model.

A Washington artist, %sketching in
North Carolina, hunting for a suitable
background for his sketch, discovered
a large growth Of pines, and an old
negress in the immediate vicinity
gathering wood. He beckoned to her
and asked that she be seated on a
little rise in the foreground that he
might sketch her In the picture.
She consented, and after sitting
some few minutes, she inquired:
"Massa, how long have done got
to sit here?'
"Oh, just about fifteen minutes"
replied the artist.
After a short interval the old
negress began to manifest considerable
uneasiness, and again asked the artist
If it was almost completed. Noticing
her anxiety he replied:
"Just about three minutes, but why
so anxious?"
"Well," she replied. ''I'se got lots
of time, but Use sittin' on an ant hill

The third party means a revolution
In politics and the beginning Of the end
OF bossism. II the people fail to grasp
this last chance and elect a man that
stands the hot fire Of ridicule to put
the power In their hands, 1t is better
then that the bosses rule. II they.
the people with the power OF the
BALLOT In their hands, stand aside
and take a chance that the boss will
do the right thing by them it's time
to start with a king, say Lorimer for
instance.
Why not get together, take your
" power in your own hands and use
it as you would have 1t used, then
what chance has the boss against such
q front. The third party and Roose-
velt means a clean up OF bosses and
prosperity with out toll.

"A Peril to the Sane Fourth.

"A Peril to the Sane Fourth.
The safe and sane Fourth has come
and gone, and already there Is q
slight reaction. People are asking
whether We were not 70 reformed as
- u stupid. Children are mourning
the lost noise Of the insane Fourth.
sParonts who had more trouble enter
taining their young folks under the
new regime than the old are mourn
Ing the days when all they had to do
49, TO hand the oldest boy q dollar,
and send him joyfully out to get
enough arecrackers to keep the
family doctor busy for weeks.
The cause Of this complaint against
tho new Fourth Is laziness. Parents
who were suddenly deprived OF the
old style celebration did not prepare
for the new style. The neglected
children protested and the parents
laid the blame, not on themselves,
but m the reform.
The safe and sane Fourth Is worth
preserving and improving. A glance
81 the reduced casualty statistics will
convince any one of this fact. It
ought to cover with humiliation every
parent who through sheer laziness has
been hankering for q return OF the
older day, when Il was SO easy to a.
muss children By sending them ont
- errands Of mayhem or death. En-
slightsned public opinion will here
After have 70 combaG this reaction. It
Will have to strive harder than ever
"a substitute now and imocuous cele-
bEstions, and It viii have to conduct
: more vigorous campaign OF educa-
t1on % Induce parents to use the new
plana. The reformed Fourth is not
eoll-onforcing. 1t has to be taught.
