CELEBRATING THE FOURTH.
N~eighborhood Parties Are Held In
Many Towns For Children.

49,
Neighborhood parties are the fittest
entertainments for the celebration of
the Fourth. The plan followed in
many communities is to take the chill
dren out for a drive or to some park in
the morning or take a luncheon and
spend the day in the woods away from
the noise of the streets, then home ear
ly to prepare for the evening celebra-
ton. Sometimes n side Of a block is
given up for the decorations, and Chi
nese lanterns are strung on wires,
porches are decorated with flags. bunt-
ing in red, white and blue and Ian
terms. and steps are filled with cusl-
ions forming seats from which the fire.
works may be witnessed.
A picnic supper is served in some
roomy back yard, several families COM
bining to furnish refreshments, decora-
tons and giving money for fireworks.
Long tables are set, trimmed with fern
leaves scattered over the white cloth.
and round bowls filled with scarlet and
white carnations and blue cornt1Owers
form the centerpiece. Red, white and
blue ribbons crossed over the cloth add
to the pretty decoration. For each
guest the favors are tiny flags. Fla.
paper napkins take the place of dam
ask ones. Any patriotic mother will
help her children to arrange for some
such affair as this to observe and IN
JOY the Fourth.

1--we, cOulIlOuIy ciIIeu tulId-
N delphia, there lived during the
Revolutionary war a Quaker
merchant named Jonathan Sutphen.
MIR. Sutphen was a patriot and would
gladly have fought the British who
were trying to reduce the Americans
to obedience had he not belonged to
the sect Of noncombatants. He so far
went back on his principles as to re-
frain from forbidding his son to enlist
In the American army, but his con
science would not permit him to bear
arms himself.
When General Howe and his red
coats held possession Of Philadelphia
on stated days he would send detach-
ments out into the country to protect
the farmers who desired to bring their
produce into the city for market. jon
ATTAIN Sutphen was too patriotic to sell
anything to a redcoat. and since it was
the practice of the British commanders
to avoid doing anything to ~irritate the
people against the kings authority
they gave orders that no one need sell
unless he chose to do so.
Sutphen. on being asked to sell his
butter and eggs, would say:
"Fricnd. l do not desire to sell thee
my products. If thee take them without
my consent thee have only to do So"
Now, these words might be inter-
preted to mean. 81, being a Quaker.
cannot oppose you in combat; there
fore you have only to take what you
want" or there might be a reply such
as has been made to men demanding
the surrender of a fort. "If you want it
come and take it." The soldiers could
not tell which of these two interpreter
tons to put upon the old mans word
and had some curiosity in the matter.
Jonathan, having winked at his son
entering the rebel army. was left with
his two daughters. They had been
brought up Quakeresses. but the non
combatant principle vas not as solid in
them as 1t was in their father. One
day when a British sergeant and sew
eral privates asked the old man if he
didn't wish to sell his butter and eggs
he received the reply, "Those products
Of the COW and the hen are the prop
erty Of my daughters" The sergeant
then applied to Prudence. II of the
daughters, who said, mo redcoat Is
welcome to our property even by pay.
ing for it."
But suppose we take it. Surely you
a Quakeress, would not resist u.s.
"Surely thee as a soldier would no,
take from a wonan what she would
deny thee"
I'VE would take from any rebe
against the authority of the sovereign
what we need to sustain us in the
kings service"
With that he went to the henhouse
near by and began to look for eggs
Having gathered what he found there

Declaring that he inherited his reli-
gion as he did his politics and expected
to die without changing either, Speaker
Champ Clark recently outlined the reli-
gious trend of the day and pronounced
it good.
There are many kinds Of religions"
said Mr.. Clark, "but l thank God that
the end of the controversial sort has
come and that we have reached a day,
of practical religion. A generation or
so ago each denomination kept jealous
ly to itself, but now we have reached a
hearty tolerance that is reflected in the
union meetings seen ON all sides.
Il think that religion IS as necessary
to the human soul as bread is to the
body. I firmly believe that if all reli-
gious influences were banished the
world would be a pandemonium in a
t~welvemonth.

WASHING FLUID.
Hero ls One That Will Remove Rust
and Stains,

Here Is One That Will Remove Rust
and Stains.
There is an excellent washing fluid
to be made at home which will take
out all red laundry marks and rust,
ink or mildew stains without leaving a
trace.
Boil five pounds of washing soda and
q gallon Of cold water. While it is
boiling add a pound Of chloride of
lime, stir we'll and set aside to settle.
Strain through a cloth and then cork
up the fluid in a jug. Put the stained
clothes in ten quarts of water or
enough to cover them, with two hand
fuls of shaved soap and two cupfuls
of the fluid.
If the stains do not disappear when
the clothes have boiled awhile add a
little more of the fluid, but not too
much, because it will eat into the
goods II the mixture is too strong.
