quietly and finally explodes
long after the rest of the bunch
have banged and sized their
way into oblivion, comes tardily the
story of the man to whom we owe
our Fourth of July. Those who have
not heard the story and who endeavor
to recall some chapter of American
history telling of this great man will
search their memories in vain. So
obscure has he remained in the an
mails Of those times that even his
name is unknown; there is only one
glimpse of him, as a rider hurrying
through the night with a message that
was to bring US our Glorious Fourth.
The Chicago Post tells the story:
"The friends of Declaration of In
dependence were afraid that they
might not be in a majority in the great
Philadelphia gathering. 1t is affirmed
that they counted noses and were fear
full that they would fall short by one
or two votes. Then it was that they
determined to- send a messenger into
Delaware to bring back an absent dele
gate who it was known would vote
right if he were present. They looked
for hard rider with the cause at
heart, a man who would ride the race
for liberty and count fatigue a pleas
ure. They found him in a man whose
name is unknown to posterity, but who
deserves well Of il
THE unknown rode on his mission.
He tore away, as one of his contempo-
raries bore witness, as if the devil
were at his heels. He broke existing
records and sent the absent delegate
back in a hot hurry and in time to
vote. The Declaration debates and
proceedings were secret. but there was
a story we'll believed that the resolu-
ton carried by one vote. We have
Paul Revere's ride in living verse, but
no one has sung the song of the un-
known rider, The Man Who Made
the Fourth
Here's to him!"

A NYTHING between the ridicu-
~ lous and the sublime probably
~ would have left John Moran
= with a very uncertain apprecia-
tiOn of the Fourth of July celebration.
Neither the one nor the other, in his
opinion, could have been very fruit
fHI of results.
OF the two extremes, the sublime
had been deliberately planned; it was
premeditated. The ridiculous wasn't.
The former was the result of a
clever scheme and weeks of hard
work. The latter was the chance of
a minute, unforeseen, unexpected, and,
some might have said on the spot, un-
propitious.
For several years John Moran had
wOOed Susan Duvau, but so far he
seemed to himself no nearer the mat
rimonial goal than he had been at
the beginning. All her people had
been assisting him without apparent
avail
He had pleaded with her; he had
coaxed and cajoled and even essayed
TO cOerce after a mild fashion, his
threats reaching that superlative pro-

TWO VICTORIES
Mark the Opening Of the Basketball
Season Of the Maysyille High
School - Germantown Boys
Easily Defeated.

The opening of the basketball sea-
son of the Maysville High School last
night was marked with two victories
for the home team, Germantown going
down by the scores of rs to 10 and 90
to 20. The Germantown boys were
hampered by the fact that they were
not accustomed to playing on an in
door court and therefore the games
could hardly be called a real test OF the
strength of the Maysville team. The
Germantown boys played good game
however but in both instances Mays
VILE piled up scores that could not be
overcome.
The second teams played the first
game. The lineups at the beginning OF
the first half were as follows
Maysville Germantown
Right Forward
Thomas .................h uDenacker
Left Forward
CaDlsn ...........'s,.s.' McNdlhdrd
Center
Geisel GalDrehtn

WALKER s's'ssss.s Aihe
Cablish started the half with foul
goal and Thomas followed suit by
throwing a field goal. The German
town boys then threw field goal and
a foul. Maysville then forged ahead
and Germantown never came close
enough to cause any uneasiness
The first half closel with the score 10
to 4. In the second half Thomas for
Maysville played a star game. Al
though he is very small he has the
happy knack of getting loose from his
opponents. He threw four field goals
and one foul goal until his removal
from the field. The entire lineup Of
the team was changed, Barbour TAX.
ing Thomas place, Dickson, Cablish's
Hicks. Geisel's; Dawson, Owens, and
Caplinger Walkers. The final score
. was &c to 10.

"A so-called cooperative organiza-

automobile owners the opportunity to
secure standard makes of tires, sup

ceedingly low prices. First you must
join the association, which is done by
paying an annual fee of $40 Then you
receive catalogue which is similar to
the catalogues of prominent accessory
houses, but it contains a discount
sheet quoting prices in some cases
lower than the cost of manufacture.
But when you send in your order
for the standard goods listed you re-
ceive a reply that they are Just out
of those goods, and you are urged to
purchase an unknown brand which
they carry. The joker in the whole
scheme is a little clause in the con-
tract which says that they win fur
nish the standard goods when in
stock
