That Blamed Young Pirate
BY HOWARD FALK.
CHAPTER I.

Billy Bunk was Iocoed and he knew

all that. Let people think as they
might, he would do the same What
If he did give 'old man" Bakers cat
cod-liver oil and set her nearly crazy.
Was that anyone's business except
his and the cats.
He was angry with everyone and
himself, for pa had tanned" him for
the prank. He pulled one foot after
the other and entered the barn and
forgot his gloomy predictions in the
perusal of dime novel which he
pulled from O. manger. He had been
reading about an hour when he prob
ably came to the part where the hero
killed a score of dusky redskins and
was probably holding a tribe at bay,
when he felt a strong grip on his col
lar and felt himself bodily lifted and
dumped by the woodpile with pas
iroa grip still ON his crumpled, luck
less collar.
Young mani" shouted the irate
parent, 'is this chopping wood? An
other novel? Hey? Well, I'll teach
you to follow the adventures of
BLACK Pete. the Bank Robber.' Just
you chop that wood, you blamed

The rule is auspicious for the sign

There is a sway that is held to be

Trouble over the breaking Of pacts
between nations is foreshadowed.
Allies will disagree. it is predicted.
Mars gives warning of desperate
strife that will be continued until ma

The Little Corporal
By Wellington
By Myer
CONTINUED from yesterday.l

The little corporal felt like a fool
as he stood there and looked at Wash
ington.
Washington said: IF you ever
have anything else to do and you
don't want TO do it because you're a
corporal, just call for me and will
be at your service any spare minute
You can imagine how the little cor
poral felt after Washington said those
last words TO him.
1t was a good lesson for him. and
there are little men still living who
may learn a good lesson from this
story.

RECALLS EARLY FOURTH
FLOAT AND OK TEAM FEATURE
OF THE PARADE.
Celebration Twenty-four Years Ago
Saturday Had Unique Way Of
Financing.

Monmouth's observance Of Indepen-
dence day brought up early recollec-
tions from the older inhabitants Of the
celebration held there in the year 1890,
"a years ago. Monmouth's business
section stood to the more eastern part
of town, making up what is many
times referred to now as sold Mon
mouth" +" These buildings were des-
troyed in the disastrous fire Of 1896.
One wing Of the present Oregon Nor
NAL school building was standing. The
morning of July A, 1890, arrived with
good weather for the celebration and
at 8 O'Clock the parade, if it may be
called such, formed at the city hall.
1t was made up of two parts-a float
and logging wagon, drawn by an OK
team. For the float hay rack had
been carefully decorated on which the
Goddess and the small children of the
community rode. Miss Nettie Ground
Mrs. David Foulkes) was Goddess of
Liberty and Miss Mary Coates (Mrs.
7. 0. Meador) acted as Columbia.
The float, followed by the ox-drawn
wagon which unexpectedly came from
a nearby logging district, moved
through the town and stopped at the
normal school campus, where the pro-
gram of the day was held in the grove.
Preceded by musical numbers, the
Declaration of Independence was read.
The management chose unique way
of financing the celebration. The
heads of the families brought dinner
to the dining-hall of the normal
school, situated in the southern part
Of the grove, where a force of young
women placed the "eats" in gener-
al lot. AT noon the lunches were sold
at counters, and, although the citizens
bought back what they themselves had
prepared, there was no objection to
the plan.
Of the pioneer group who settled
Monmouth in the early sos but one
now survives-Mrs. Elizabeth F. Lu-
cas-, who was unable to be present
at Saturdays festivities. She resides
in the southern part of the city. The
celebration Of 1890 was honored by
the presence of the man who was re-
sponsible for Monmouth getting its
name. 1t was the late Ira F. M. But
ler, who was then at an advanced age.
AS chairman of an early meeting of
the inhabitants of the town he cast
the deciding vote for Monmouth" in
preference to "Dover.'

Bear With Us. Dear Reader.

If The Observer is not up to its
usual standard today, place the blame
where it properly belongs-with those
who were responsible for our national
independence. Printers are the most
patriotic craftsmen in the game today.
They labor twelve long and weary
mouths between shots and shouts
awaiting the coming of the G-l-o-r-i-
o-u-s Fourth, and when it arrives
there's absolutely nothing doing
around the shop. Generally, however,
they "make up the time" during the
following twenty-four hours, but in
this year of our Lord nineteen four
teen the natal day tagged along until
the tail end of the week, making it
impossible to "make up" for the
profesh draws the line on Sabbath
desecration, and won't do it if there S
anything else in sight. So there you
are.

MAKING. MANY IMPROVEMENTS
Little City by the Falls Forging For
ward. and Is Prosperous.

Falls City entertained the writer
for brief season on Friday last, 1t
being his first appearance within the
boundaries of that municipality.
Many new improvements are visible to
the naked eye, and others are in con-
temptation for the immediate future,
among them being some important
street betterments, work on which
will commence this week. 1t is the
purpose of the city council to expend
something like $4,000 this season on
this work, for which the contract has
been awarded. Friday was busy
day at Falls City. There were con-
siderable number of loggers in from
the camps, either celebrating or pre-
pairing to do so. The merchants, and
especially those who traffic in wet
goods, were enjoying good business,
and the principal street OF this pro
gressive little city was thronged with
people.
The celebration on the Fourth was
a successful affair from start to fin
ish. There were a large number OF
visitors from the surrounding country,
while the towns of the county were
well represented. Especially was
this true of Dallas, there being moth
ing to keep them at home, The pro
gram as previously outlined in The
Observer was carried out almost to
the letter, and proved entertaining.

Finn Commends Move.

Over the county l find that a few
enterprising farmers have moved the
tall grass along the sides of the road
by their farms, and have either made
hay of it or burned it anyway to keep
it from going to seed. This is indeed
good to see, as it not only helps the
looks of their farms but makes the
road look neater and helps to kill
a great many obnoxious weeds.
l hope many more of the residents
along our roads will fall in line with
this idea and boost Polk county lit
tie further along the way toward bet
ter roads.
