INDEPENDENCE BELL.

WHSA ~ WAS CeTldln Lnat the acc.
iaration Of Independence would be an
nounced By congress. it was resolved
70 announce the event by ringing the
old statehouse bell, which bore the in
scr1ption: Proclaim liberty to the
land, to all the inhabitants thereof"
The old bellman, accordingly, placed
his little son at the door Of the hall.
TO await the instruction OF the door
Keeper when to ring; and, when the
word was given, the little patriot-scion
rushed out and, flinging up his hands,
shouted aloud, Ring! Ring! Ring!")
There was tumult in the city.
In the quaint old Quaker'a town,
And the streets were rife with people,
Pacing restless up and dfrwn;--
People gathering at cornera-
Where they whispered each to each,
And the sweat stood on their temples,
With the earnestness Of speech.
AS the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild Newfoundland shore,
So they beat against the statehouse,
So they Surged against the door;
And the mingling of their voices
Made harmony profound,
Til the quiet street of Chestnut
Was all turbulent with sound
Will they do lt?" Dare they do it?"
who is speaking" What's the
news?"
"What of Adams?" What of Sher-
MANI"
"oh, God grant they won't refuse?"
Make some way there!" Let me
nearer!"
II am stifling!" "Stifle, then!
When a nations life's a hazard
We've nc time to think of men!"
So they beat against the portal,
Man and woman, maid and child;
And the July sun in heaven
On the scene looked down and
smiled;
The same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot blood in vain,
Now beheld the soul Of freedom
All unconquer'd rise again.
See! See. The dense crowd uuivers
Through all it lengthy line,
AS the boy beside the portal
Looks forth to give the sign!
With his small hands upward lifted,
Breezes dallying with his hair,
Hark! with deep, clear intonation,
Breaks his young voice on the air.
Hush'd the peoples swelling murmur,
List the boys strong, joyous cry!
"Ring!" he shouts. Ring! Grandpa.
Ring! oh, ring for liberty!''
And straightway, at the signal,
Inc old bellman lifts his hand,
And sends the good news, making
Iron music through the land.
How they shouted! What rejoicing!
How the old bell shook the air,
Till the clang Of freedom ruffled
The calm, gliding Delaware!
How the bontires and the torches
Illumed the nights repose,
And from the flames, like Phoenix,
Fair Liberty arose!
That old bell now is silent,
And hush'd it's iron tongue
But the snirit it awakened
Still lives,--forever young.
And while we greet the sunlight,
On the fourth of each July,
Well ne'er forget the bellman,
Who, twixt the earth and sky,
Rung out our independence:
Which, please God, shall never die!

q ALIENS DECOME
j. S. CITIZENS
Greeks, Italians, Austrians,
Danes, Russians, Germans
and Other Nationalities
Represented.

Biloxi, Feb. 24-Twenty-one fore
igners have become American citizens
at this term Of the United States dis
trict court at Biloxi. The foreigners
who some time ago filed tho necessary
papers to become citizens OF the United
States were examined by Jerome G..
Shear, Of New Orleans, naturalization
examiner, who came to Biloxi for that
purpose. The oath of allegiance was
administered by United States Deputy
Clerk J. G. Tyler in the federal court
room in the presence of Judge II. G..
Niles, the presiding Judge. and large
number OF spectators. Half OF the ma
items OF the world were represented
among those VINO became American
citizens. Among the number were
Greeks, Austrians, Germans, Russians,
Danes, Italians and Norwegians. A
few of the men were Biloxians, some OF
whom haue lived in the United States
for a number of years, while large
number came from Bay ST. Louis and
other nearby towns and communities.
The fact that the European conflict
is under way has had much to do, it IS
believed, with increasing the number of
applications among foreigners to be-
come residents of the United States.
At any rate, the United States court
at Biloxi has done large business in
handling naturalization papers during
the last one and one-half years.
