THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
My Dear Girls and Bows:

My Dear Girls and Boys:
To-day is independence Day. the
time set apart every year by this
country 10 celebrate its great declara-
tion Of freedom and rights. Now l
know that YOU have studied about it in
school until you arc tired OF hearing
about 1t, and besides. this is not 4
lesson; it's nice club. So all that |
ask is that YOU will be so kind as
not 10 blow out your eyes, to say
nothing Of Your hands and ears. Every
now and then we do find we need eyes
and ears and hands, and it is really
uncomcomfortable if YOU find YOUR
self without them. So if YOU must
shoot trecrackers do take nice tame
little ones that won't hurt YOU,
think a grand picnic Tomorrow or a
fishing trip would be lots more fun
than just burning paper and powder
The magazines all over the country
for years have been writing and ask
Ing that we have a safe and sane
Fourth" Great. wise men have said
that the dreadful toll of little chill
drcns lives is not worth the celehra-
tion and they have begged the pa
rents and uncles and aunts to help to
make il happy day in some other
manner
What do YOU reckon? Little Mary
Louise Wilkinson, who has been sick
for long time, has made me a lovely
piece of embroidery. She drew it her
self and put field daisies in the mid
die and the blue of the June sky all
around the edges. ] am very proud
of II and thank her so much for it,

HOW THE FOURTH WAS SPENT.

oh. dear, what shall we do on the
Fourth" Bess Martin questioned, as
she lay full length on the grassy lawn
of her home and pulled lazily at the
grass. Everything is so dull Oh,
dear: oh, dear she added. with a
yawn. This hot weather gets the best
of me-"
Me. too" Kate Blackwell chimed in.
But. girls. how about picnic on the
Fourth. We could go over in. Mrs.
Masons woods and have fine time,
don't YOU think so. MaCEic?"
Yes. so we could" Maggie Graham
answered Poor Madge won't be able
to go with us. though, and we shall
miss her much"
WAY cent Madge go with u.s." oues-
toned Kate
Didn't you know how badly she was
hurt? Didn't you know she was nearly
killed."
Nearly killed" cried Bess. raising
up on her elbow with sudden alertness.
Good gracious. Madgc, what are YOU
talking about?"
WHY, don't you all know" Maggie
questioned.
Don't YOU all know that Madre
shot ii off before the Fourth just for
fun. and the powder blew up in her
face and burnt her dreadfully?'
Why. never heard a thing about
IT,. Hess said in Amusement. Did YOU
Kate"
NO" Kate answered unable to saw
any more in her surprise
Say, girls. Rcss said suddenly, i've
thought OF fine idea"
What is it," with .cagerness
Let's give up our picnic and go to
MadGes house and. oh. don't know
but We could do something to entertain
her"
Fine" Kate answered, while Maggie
said: "Ress. you're a wonder. But what
can we do
oh. let's have nice play. some
thing about Fourth of July" Kate sug
Ecstcd
And so it was decided that plav
should be held at Madce Wadsworth's
house. The following week the girls
were husily practicinc their parts. and
IT was very strange indeed TO see these
girls going through their parts and
gestures when usually they were roam
ing about in fields and woods
AZ last the Fourth arrived and with
ii the play. Madre was rolled. bv her
nurse. into the drawing room, where
candles we're lit, producing A brilliant,
vari"gated light. y platform stood at
one end Of the room. hidden by rcd
Whitc-and- blue curtains. Tho whole
room was drapcd with banners. flags
and such things.
AZ last the curtains were pulled aside
ana three girls stepped forth, whom
Madge a once recognized as Bess.
Kate and Maggie
1t is needless TO say that the plav
was great success. and one need only
to look into the burnt face of poor
MadE" Wadsworth TO see how happv
and pleased she was

THE WICKED OLD WOMAN.

Once upon a time there was little
boy whose mother died when he was
ten years old. HIS father was a drunk
ard and he was left in the wide world
alone. He lived with an old woman.
One day the old woman sent him in
the woods to find a tree as large around
as a house. IF YOU do not fnd one
will have you put to death. ] want
the tree. SO | can have IL made into
lumber TO build my daughter A house.
The little boy took his saw and went
into the woods. He knew there was
not A tree as large as a house any
where around, he sat on a stump
and said. Il know what will do.
will pray to the Lord and ask him what
TO do. Because ! used TO hear mamma
pray TO the Lord. and she said IL you
pray TO Him you Will set good" SO
the little boy prayed. and just as he
finished praying large tree stood be-
fore him. SO he began to cut the tree
and just as he commenced he was
turned into a snake He hated the
old woman. so one day when the old
lady was out picking strawberries. he
bit her and she soon died and then ne
came back into his right form, and
when he became twenty-seven he be-
came king of the country and lived
happily ever after.

Smiling down on the silvery river.

Lighting up the summer night.
w hisperins softly were the pine trees
Disturbing not the rivers tinklinc
TO and fro danced the hrenies,
In the shadows brightly twinklinG.
In the distance hear the owls cry.
In his deep and mournful tone,
crying out his dismal "who-who,"
For he's lonesome and alone.
All the stars are twinkling brightly
In the dome of heavens blue,
Like so many beautiful diamonds.
Sparkling, smiling down on you.

All the earth in peaceful slumber.
Smiled upon by moon of gold

And We welcome the soft. black veil

THE STEPMOTHER.

Once there lived a widower with a
daughter. The daughter had beautiful
dark hair, and big blue eyes. and had
a lovely disposition. Across the road
there lived widowed lady with
another daughter as ugly as you
wished to see and terrible dispo-
sition. Soon the widow and widower
were married. Then the girls step
mother would beat her terribly. She
also took her pretty clothes and gave
them to her own daughter, for she had
none. She made the poor girl do all
the work of the house. and her own
daughter sat down and held her hands
One day when the girls mother was
beating her a fairy saw her and asked
the girl to come and live with her.
For a punishment for the mother and
daughter, toads and snakes would
jump out their mouths whenever they
said a word, and the girl lived happily
ever after.

A DAY AT THE PARK.

One bright sunshiny day my friends
and ! went to the park. We carried
books TO read, and had a fine time.
Some girls took our pictures. We
walked down to the race track. Some
OF the girls made buttercup bracelets,
and some others made buttercup
chains. Last OF all. we went to the
lake. Nearby was the boat of the
manager. We were soon all seated in
1t. Very soon one Of my friends. Inez.
got out and, just for fun. tilted the
boat. My sister, Mary, fell out. My
friend. Evelyn, gave a shout for help,
and then all of us shouted together
Very soon a dog jumped In and held
her fast until help came. 1t was the
manager of the park, and he very
soon got her out. A lady and young
girl brought her home in their auto
mobile. ! thought my mother was go
ing to scold me for being so careless
with my sister, but she forgave me.
she forbade me going to the lake
again. and this / obeyed.
