Fourth Of July

n CROSS the long, sloio march OF
n UitGt gears
America turns back this July
day
TO feel again the promise OF a gray,
Far daioa, dim breaking acith strange
hopes and fears.
There moues grave Washington; there
n,oUe his peers,
The men aoho pondered aoeU nor kne1D
dismay
IN that fierce taoilight When the
hearts relay
To hazard for its faith meant chains
and tears.
Be near, 0 God, today, in trying fires
That fare and burn In Uailey and on
hill.
Giue as the chrism of thy sauia0
grace,
That, aoalking IN the i0astes of lo,o de-
sires,
We may anoiat our feet, reneV our
tciH
And Keep that high first dream that
shaped our race.

''The Day We
Celebrate"

VT was about 1895 that the now
n hackneyed expression "the day
we celebrate" began to be fire.
Quently used In the papers, and cou-
pied with 1t toward the close Of the
century were toasts in honor Of Cen
eral Washington. MAY his declining
years be sweetened by the domestick
tranquility In the peaceful shades of
Mount Vernon" in 1893, proved to be
rather infelicitous, since within six
months of the time this toast was
drunk the illustrious general was dead.
Then the Order Of the Cincinnati on
the Fourth Of July, 1900, drank to this:
Washington, our late file leader; may
we follow him In slow time to the per-
manent cantonment and be all found
near his headquarters at the final roll
call!'
In 1901 this was the toast: Our
sainted Washington: Should men for
IT thy imIortal deeds, angels will re-
sbfd then!''
July 4, 1900, the Roxbury (Mass.)
militia drank to sixteen toasts, the last
one as follows: america! When she
reposes may she rest, like Mars, al
ways under arms! mime cheers.1"
4The navy! May her stars be pro-
pitious to our friends and the plumber
ers Of the ocean feel the scourge Of her
stripes"
1t would seem that our worthy pred
ecessors took to mixing not only pa
triotism, but politics, with their tod
dies and applejack In the opening years
OF the nineteenth century, as witness
this: "The day was celebrated by the
Republicans with their wonted conviv-
atty and gladness. y After the mill
.tary parade the several corps march
cd for their places of entertainment,
where the bounties of the season, se-
cured and blessed by the beneficence
Of heaven (and Republican govern
ment), were enjoyed with hilarity and
kindness. From the Philadelphia Ad-
vertiser July 4, 1900.
MAY we annually drink the unadul-
terated Juice of the apple" said an
orator who at New Hampshire BAN
quet had imbibed rather freely of hard
! cider. And that year, 1901, we read
! hat the guests at a dinner in Charles
town were numerous and conviviaL"
In Boston, same year, after an Grafton
| in the old Brick church, "his excellen-
| cy and the council sat down to sump-
iuous entertainment, while the cadets
and militia partook Of decent and
frugal repast which was prepared for
them."-New York Evening Post.

Ride of a Man Who Helped
to Make July A.

Nm 1774 the committee of correspond
n ence, representing the colonies,
found it most difficult to commu-
nicate with one another lowing to
their letters being lost through care
lessness of the government post rid
ers."
April 10, IT'S, it became necessary
to alarm" the colonies of the battle
then being fought at Lexington and
Concord. The post roads were being
closely guarded.
Israel Bissell was the man selected.
He was fast and fearless rider whose
home was in East Windsor. On the
morning of the 18th he was intrusted
with the following message
Yesterday morning we had reports
in this city from Rhode Island and
New London that an action had hap
pened between the kings troops and
the inhabitants of Boston, which was
not credited, but about - o'clock an
express arrived with the following
account-viz: WATERFOWL, Wednesday
morning, near 10 O'clock. TO all friends
Of American liberty let ii be known
That this morning before break Of day
brigade, consisting of about 1000 Or
1900 men, landed at Phip's farm, at
Cambridge, and marched to Lexington,
where they found company of our
colony militia in arms, upon whom
they fired without any provocation and
killed six men and wounded four
by an express from Boston, we
find another brigade are upon their
march from Boston, supposed to be
about 1000. The bearer, Israel Bissell,
Is charged to alarm the country quite
to Connecticut, and all persons are de-
sired to furnish him with fresh horses
as they may be needed"
This message was signed by r. Pal
mer, one of the committee. Bissell
started with the message from Water
town, Mass. and took the following
route: Worcester, Mass; Brookline,
New London, Lyme, Saybrook, xii
lingsworth, East Guilford, Guilford,
Branford. New Haven. New York,
New Brunswick, Princeton, Trenton
and arrived in Philadelphia four days
after the start.

and any youngster who has been at
understands how to make
pretty things out of colored paper and
cardboard. 1t is Il good idea to buy
single favor of the kind wanted and
then let the children copy it.
Little ornaments to slip over the rims
of the goblets at the Fourth of July
dinner can take the form of eagles,
shields or flags. In any case the de-
signs are cut from printed fancy Grape
paper and pasted on foundation of
plain cardboard. By allowing two Of
the same design to each goblet the
ornament when finished will be re-
versible and present as good an APP
pearance from one side as the other.
By pasting the designs together in
pairs, leaving a little space between
the two at the bottom so that it can be
slipped over the rim, the ornament is
easily arranged. Where other place
cards are used on the table one of
these little favors can appear on the
rim of the finger bowl at the close OF
the meal. Designs of a size suited for
use in this way will be usually found
on the corners of paper napkins, the
center of the napkin being used for the
making of little cases or doilies to be
decorated with red, white and blue
paper or a fringe of imitation firecrack
ers.
Strips of bright red paper two inches
wide by seven in length can be tWirlei
around a knitting needle and fashioned
into realistic firecrackers. A bit OF
string should be inserted after the first
turn Of the paper and held in place
with drop of paste. This serves as 8
fuse for the mock firecracker, the
strings being tied together.
A fringe of these around a plail
white paper ice cream case is al easily
made decoration. Children need only
be shown how this work Is done in or

"MICHAELIS FALSIFIES."
So Says Premier RibOt, Denying
Charge of Intrigue.

PARIS, Aug. Premier Ribot in the
Chamber OF Deputies denounced yester-
day as false the statement Of Dr.
Michaelis, the German Chancellor, that
there was a secret treaty between France
and Russia having in view plans of
conquest, He said
The Chancellor's version contains
gross inaccuracies and absolute lies. NJ.
Doumergue leX-Prcmier and Foreign
Ministerl after a conversation with the
Emperor Of Russia demanded and OBJ
talned NJ Brands authorization TO take
note of the Emperor's promise TO sup
port our claim TO AlsaCe Lorraine and
to leave us free to seek guarantees
against fresh aggression not by annex
ing territories on the left bank OF the
Rhine, but making an autonomous state
of these territories, which would protect
us and also Belgium against invasion.
The Chancellor evidently knows OF
the letters exchanged in February, 1917
at Petrograd and falsifed since as his
most hlustrlous predecessor falslhed the
Ems despatch. Whenever the Russian
Government is willing 10 publish these
letters we have no objection"
