Celebrate the Fourth with all proper
patriotic fervor, but celebrate sanely.
Be willing to lay down life or limb for
your country, but do not sacrifice
either to make a holiday.
The tabulated records of the deaths
and injuries on July 4, 1915, show that
over half of the injuries In cities were
In New York and Philadelphia. In the
eighty-four cities tabulated 806 persons
were injured. OF these New York was
responsible for 272 and Philadelphia
for $50, making a total of 552 for these
two cities alone, while only 24 persons
were injured In the other e~ighty-two
cities. In Chicago, which In 1907 had
sixteen persons killed and Isl injured
and In 1908 had twelve persons killed
and POP persons injured, there were in
1915 only eight Fourth of July acc1-
dents. Curiously enough, however, of
these five were fatal, giving Chicago,
In spite of its remarkably low record
for injuries, the largest number of
deaths of any Of the eighty-four cities,
FIVE deaths In Chicago being half of
the total number of fatalities In cities.

Hats Off to the Flag!

II any reader Of these lines has v
visited a foreign country, has been a
stranger in some far away place over
the ocean, he may remember the feel
ing Of joy, of pride, that came to him
when he first saw the stars and stripes
floating over the consulate.
One writer says he remembers some
years g walking down the Bots de
Boulogne In Paris. Just ahead of him
was a regulation man of the world,
and yet something about him indicated
that at one time or another he had
lived In America. He walked slowly
down the avenue until all of a sudden
from the second story of a building at
the right there were flung to the breeze
the silken folds of a beautiful specimen
of the American flag. The mar Of the
world saw 1t. In a second his silk hat
was of his head, and despite the on
lockers he gave three as lusty cheers
for the stars and stripes as yer zane
from an American throat. AS the
writer reached him he turned about
and with tears rolling down his cheeks
said, ~ did not know that the sight of
anything could touch me like that"

Sad Fourth For Washington

On the 4th day Of July, 1854, Colonel
George Washington surrendered an
army. 1t was only a small army, but
a fort went with it. He experienced
on this occasion his first defeat in war,
at the hands of the French.
Although at that time only twenty
two years Of age, he had been placed
In command Of a small body of troops
which was marching toward Fort Du-
Quesne. At a point On the Mononga-
hela river less than forty miles from
his destination he heard of the approach
of a party of French and Indians,
sent to intercept him. Accordingly he
fell back to the Great Meadows, fifty
miles from Cumberland, and hastily
erected a stockade, which he called
Fort Necessity.
With the help of a friendly Indian
sachem. Half King, he attacked the
French In their camp at night, killing
their commander, Jumonville, and TAX
ing a number of prisoners. It was the
first blood shed In the French and In
dian war.
A few days later Fort Necessity was
attacked by 1,500 Indians and French
under De Villiers, and Washington sur
rendered on honorable terms. This
was on the morning of July 4. He
marched out with his little army Of
400 men, drums beating and flags fly
ing, and he and his soldiers returned
peaceably to their homes.

The Declarations Printing.

The delegates from New York and
those newly elected from Pennsylvania
who had been sent In place OF the men
formerly opposing the declaration, as

August. Thomas Mexican of Delaware
was allowed 10 sign ater beeaasc &c

and newly elected members were al
lowed the same privilege as late as

Satisfied that the signed parchment
was a lasting evidence Of the birth OF
the new nation, congress took no fur
Their official action regarding the in
strument itself until the month of jan

By that time the new republic began
to feel its strength, and congress de-
