Grateful for Best Licking. ;

Paris, July 4.-There was his toric scene at the luncheon of the American chamber of commerce to- day when the Earl of Derby the Brit ish ambassador, and William G. Sharp, American ambassador, clasped hands in celebration of America's Independence Day. It was the first time since the United States became nation that British ambassador had attended q commemoration of the event.
 General Tasker H. Bliss brought i message from the American army. He said:
 We have been called nation of idealists. Our boys now are shedding their blood in Belleau wood and Cha teau Thierry in defense of those ideals"
 Ambassador Sharp thanked France briefly for the great manifestation in honor of Independence Day and con- tinued:
 Lord Derby, representing Eng land, has broken an unwritten rule which has lasted from time immemo- rial with respect to an English am- bassador attending the celebration of our Independence. congratulate him. l congratulate the great country which he represents. We know now why England is so great"
 q had always thought America meant fair play" replied Lord Derby. "but it is hardly fair to call on me on such short notice to reply to such an eloquent tribute as has been paid me by Ambassador Sharp. wish to thank America for the best licking we ever got. It has done us both lot good We are grateful to you be- cause that licking taught us how to treat our children; it is the reason we now have Australia and Canada and even South Africa fighting beside us.n

FOURTH OF JULY
 IN OLD ENGLAND
Mother Country Joined in Celebrating the Anniversary of America's In- dependance-Lord Derby Thanks
 us for Best Licking"

London, July 4.--No country ever celebrated the national anniversary of another country as the people of Great Britain today celebrated the Fourth of July. Not alone in London but in cities and villages turnout the kingdom, in town halls and churches, the American anniversary was com memorated.
 Announcement from Washington that America had sent overseas her first million troops kindled immense enthusiasm and gave great impetus to the celebration. Wherever there are American soldiers and sailors, they were entertained with great hospitality. The Fourth began in London on Wednesday night. The theaters and music halls were decorat- ed with the Stars and Stripes and several thousand American soldiers and sailors on leave were entertained at various places.
 American flags were out on official and business buildings all over Lon don. For the second time in history the Stars and Stripes waved above the great tower of the parliament buildings in Westminster along side the Union Jack. The American flag was also on the Lord Mayors man sion in the heart of the city Many English people wore small American flags on their coats.
 The formal celebration began with a fellowship meeting in Central Hall, across the street from Westminster Abbey. Five hundred seats were there allotted to the American sailors and soldiers. The meeting opened with the band of the Coldstream Guards playing "The Star Spangled Banner" !"
 Viscount Bryce Principal Speaker.
 In opening the meeting in Central Hall, Viscount Bryce, who presided, said:
 For many a year today was cele- brated in the United States with hos tility and defiance. By us in Britain it was remembered with sorrow as marking the severance of precious ties. And now, after 142 years, it is being celebrated by both peoples with like enthusiastically the children of those who revolted against the British crown as by the children of those who sadly admitted the loss of one of that crowns choicest jewels.
 What has been a day of anger on one side and grief on the other has become for both day of affection and rejoicing"
 If some political connection had been preserved, said y;scount Bryce, tfe war of 1872, an unmixed evil for both nations. would have been avoided and tho the colonies would have be- come practically self-governing, like Canada, the mediation of the mother country probably would have averted the war of secession and assured the peaceful extinction of slavery.
 ''0n the other hand" he continued. it may have been well for us and the world that no state so powerful as Great Britain and America united would have been, should have grown up. A state so immensely strong might have led to aggression and in- justice by thirst for world dominion passion whose fatal consequences were plain in the moral depreciation of PrussianiZed Germany"

Clara Elsie Mhisenhunt.

Clara Elsie Whisenhunt. wife of Rev L. N. Whisenhunt, and daughter of Mir. and Mrs F. F. Ward of the Union Grove neighborhood, died on Monday morning, June IT, after an illness of only few days. She was visiting at her fathers home when taken ill Only a few of her imme- diate relatives were present at her death bed at it was not thought that she was seriously ill She was in- tered at the Concord cemetery on Tuesday afternoon in the presence of great crowd of sorrowfng friends and neighbors.
 Mrs. Whisenhunt had lived all her short life in the Union Grove neigh borhood and numbered all the people of the community, young and old, as her friends Her sweet disposition and sterling qualities had endeared her to everyone. She had great strength of character and pertinacity in any course she considered right, yet cherished no vindictiveness and was always ready to forgive any in- jury done her. Her character gave great promise of good to the com munity in which she migh.t. cast her lot as she h. confessed her Saviour and cast her lot with Him and her Christian character was one which would do great good for his cause She had been married to Rev Whisen- hunt but few months and leaves him brokenhearted at her loss, yet this loss is only hostage to Heaven and one of the cords which will help to draw him home. When she came to die she died firm in the faith that her Saviour waited to welcome her on the other side. May we all be as ready. Pedagogue. Adv. d&w1t
