FOURTH 0FJULY IS
 DULY CELEBRATED

slening of the Declaration of h. dependence III years ago today, which was eleeti4 Jed by the Civ il war and served as an illumina- tion to the opl ressed of other nations till it won for us the title Of the land of the free. i Would not Washington, Lin- coin and Grant feel like turning. face down in their graves. if they knew that the generation of to- day were slow to respond to the call for which they fought and stuggiad. But when the roll is called we'll be there.
 To win this war is our duty. and win it We will. General Pershing s landing in France was the click preparatory to the going off of the alarm which will arouse Kaiser William out of h1s dream of world power and brlng him back to the reality that no matter how efficient his artillery, the liberties of the human race car not for any length of time be en- croached upon by any mortal ! tyrant.
 The recitation by Miss Peggy Pennycook was just as sweet as it could be.
 The reading by Mrs. Burner was well received.
 A Creed for Patriots writ. ten by Rev. H. P. Corser at the request of the Committee was as follows.
 1 believe in inc United States of America, a strong United na- { ton of free people, which by the [ blood and sacrifices of the mep of '76 began its eXistance as ar independent nation.
 It has ordained and established a constitution where all power eminates from the consent of the governed, and which was estab- lished for promoting peace and the general welfare of its clti- zens. It at great cost has made liberty universal in it's own de, mains, and subdued rebellions. It has and is defending its citi- zens both at home and abroad, and on land and on sea. thus maintaining it's position as an independent nation of the world It has through wise and just leadership grown from q s!na!! state to a mighty nation extend ing not only from ocean to ocean. but to many distant islands e the sea. 1 believe in informing myself concerning the needs of tmy country, and in using all law ful methods to advance those principles which will enable my country to be a better servant ot it's people. believe that in both peace and in war 1 should serve my country with my property my intellect, and my life. and 1T that personal righteousness, and l industry which will make tha1 service valuable.
 I believe in social service which teaches men how to live, in schools and colleges free to all! and in determined efforts to aboL ish poverty.
 1 I believe in future for my country when there shall be neither riches or poverty.
 believe that my country will more and more be d leader of the world in liberty, love and Godli- ness.

"The Young Men for the Front" was the subject upon which Ralph Mckinnon made a stirring speech. Mir. Mckinnon received numerous and hearty applauses.
 Following are a few excerpts from Mr. McKinnon's address

In other words the dan ger. destruction and death, which have been the lot of the young men of other nations for the past three years is ours today.

A QUEER GOBLIN.

Once upon a time In the good old
buttercup and the little birds and the
wild creatures of the woods were the
friends of the good aud true, there
lived in England a wise and great
king, who was said himself to be kin
of the fairies.
1t WAS known that a wise enchanteT
was his friend and often gave him
advice about his kingdom.
And, though this king was so wise
that his name Is still known In Eng
land as that of the most wonderful
king who yer ruled the Britons, he
sometimes made mistakes. His name
l may as well tell you. was Arthur.
Arthur was the strongest nan and
the most slillful fighter In the country
Some persons said there was no one
in the world like him.
But one day the great Merlin, who
was his adviser, or prime minister
thought lie would teach King Arthur 8
lesson. So by mean of the magic III
which he was skilled Merlin made g
queer creature, all heads and arms
appear before King Arthur and dart
him to a wrestling match.
Arthur smiled when he saw the fig
ure. Perhaps his friend Merlin vas IL
the habit of playing tricks like this on
the king, for his majesty did not seem
to be in the least surprised and fright
ened by a sight odd enough to scare
persons unused to such visitors out OF
a years growth.
"Oh, yes; I'll wrestle with you some
time,' the king said. but not today
I'm very busy. you see.
The next day the figure came again
but Arthur had another reason foI
putting 1t off. Arthur thought then.
but he wasn't sure, that the figure
looked a little larger than on the day
before.
The next day 1t came back and the
next and the next. Always the king
had some excuse why he had not time
to wrestle with the goblin, and each

would not be safe to put Off the match
a minute longer.
So Arthur rose, and the goblin and
the king wrestled long and furiously.
At first 1t looked as though the goblin
might win, but Arthur would not give
up. At last he had the goblin down
and ready TO say 1t was beaten.
As the goblin rose to its feet 1t said:
Never put off a task till tomorrow
that can be done as well today"
Then the goblin vanished and was
never seen more.

Crandall soon was the center of a
ness:
well, in the matter of spies in war

the fact Of their resemblance to the
plague-you never can tell when
they're going to get you or whence
they came. Now, here on the Rock l
have reason to believe we have one or
more spies busy this minute"
Jane Gerson, sitting where the light
smote her face, drew back into rte
shadow with d swift movement of pre-
tectiveness. Woodhouse, who balanced
a dainty Satsuma coffee cup on his
knee, kept his eyes on his superior's
face with a mildly interested air.
"In fact" Crandall continued evenly,
II shouldn't be surprised if one, pos
sibly two, spies should be arrested be-
fore the night is over. And the point
about this that will interest you ladies'
is that one of these, the one whose or
der for arrest I have already given, is
a woman-a very clever and pretty
woman, 1 may add to make the story
more interesting"
And the other, whose arrest may
follow, is an accomplish Of hers, 1 take
it, generalT" Woodhouse put the ques-
ton with easy indifference. He was
stirring his coffee abStractedly.

1t was Jane, who had suddenly risen
and stood by the curtains screening
the balcony windows. "They look like
little flowers opening and shutting"
The girls diversion was sufficient to
take interest momentarily from Gener-
al Crandalrs revelation. When all had

sation skipped to the fleet, its power

Mrs. Sherman was disappointed that
the ships did not send up rockets.
She'd read somewhere that ships sent
up rockets, and she didn't see why
these should prove the exception. In
terruption came from Jaimihr Khan,
who bore a message for Consul Reyn-
olds. The fussy little man ripped open
the envelope with an air of Importance.
"Ah, listen, folks! Here we have
the latest wireless from the SaXonia:

Woodhouse caught the look of fear

He turned his head quickly. Lady

nLAY frocks for the little girl up
TO ten years old are really SIM
pie given a good seamstress and
a good pattern. There is one that
could be utilized for all the play frocks
that a little girl would need in the
course of the summer. 1t is of the
simplest design. 1t is made kimono-
wise, and the sleeves are In one piece
with the body Of the dress. 1t can be
made with a back opening or with an
opening extending from the neck on
each shoulder part way down the arm
and without the back opening. 1t can
be made with or without q belt and
patch pockets and with short or long
sleeves. These variations, with the
use Of different materials and trim
ming bands, scallops and other en-
broidery suggest eight or ten POSSIBLE
tiles with the one pattern.
Almost as much can be done with a
pattern for a house dress for a wom-
an. There are some very attractive
patterns which show short and long
sleeves, three or four possibilities In
the way of neck line or collar and
then there is the possibility Of trim
ming with bands Of contrasting mate
rial and of adding patch pockets or
dainty lawn or organdie collars. The
same pattern can be used for q wash
able negligee by leaving the frock open
all the way down the front and by
emitting tue belt, substituting for it a
ribbon girdle or else leaving the full
ness unconf1ned.
Whatever changes there may be in
summer styles, the pocket is still great

faded like q white wrath through the
door to General Crandau's o as the
double doors opened and the mascu-

tered. Woodhouse rose from a stoop-
ing position at the telephone and faced

made plausible explanation. The beg

When the cigars were lit General
Crandal excused himself for a min
ute, sat at his desk and hurriedly
scratched a note. Summoning Jaimihr,
he ordered that the note be dispatched
by orderly direct to Major Bishop and
given to no other hands. Woodhouse,
who overheard his superior officers
command, was filled with vague APP
p~rehension. What Mrs. Sherman had
said at table-this hurried note to Bish-
op; there was but one Interpretation to
give to the affair-Crandall's suspi-
cions were all alive again. Yet at
S:30-at the Hotel S%plendide.
But when Crandall came back to
join the circle of smokers he was all
geniality. The women came in by way
of Jane Gerson's room; they had been
taking a farewell peek at her dazzling
stock of gowns, they said, before they
were packed for the steamer.
"There was one or two l just had to
see again." Mrs. Sherman explained
for the benefit of all, before l said
goodby to them"

minister, mother" Henry j. warned.

on this trip certainly would stir things

Jaimihr served the coffee. Wood

tete-a-tete In an angle of the massive
fireplace, but she ~outgeneraled him,
and the observant Mrs. Sherman cor
nered him inexorably.
'Tell me, Captain Woodhouse," she
began In her friendly tones, you said
awhile ago the general might mistake
you for a spy. Don't you have a great
deal Of trouble with spies In your army
in wartime? Everybody took us for
spies In Germany, and In France they
thought poor Henry was carrying
bombs to blow up the Eiffel tower"
Perhaps 1 can answer that question
better than Captain Woodhouse," the
general put In, rising and striding over
to where Mrs. Sherman kept the cap
jtain prisoner. Captain Woodhouse
you see, would not be SO likely to come
in touch with those troublesome per
