THE GLORIOUS FOURTH

Willie bought pound of powder
Little fellow thought perhaps
1t would make racket louder
Than a gun with paper caps.
Lit it with a wad Of wicking,
Noise responded far and wide
Now the doctors busy picking
Powder out of Willie's hide.
Tommy had a lovey rocket
Bright with reds and whites
and blues
Which he carried in his pocket,
Till his brother lit the fuse.
In the fraction of a second
Tommy landed rather hard,
Where the nodding daisies beconed
IN the next door neighbors yard.
Johnnie's pinwheel fixed and sput-
tured
But the powder wouldn't catch,
Fuse is busted" Johnnie muttere1
Guess III light it with a match
Then the pinwheel burst asunder
With a red and brilliant glare;
Now the visitors all wonder
Why our Johnnie has no hair.
We approve the celebration
By our little girls and boys
Of the birthday Of their Nation
With mild amount Of noise.
We don't finch when they proceed
to
Raisa the roof with fife and
drum,
But We hold they do not need to
Blow themselves to kingdom
come!

eternal calm and lmperturbability that
is the wilderness itself. Cranston
wasn't I'm the least afraid. Fear is
usually matter of uncertainty and
he knew exactly where he stood.
Ii is extremely doubtful if a plains

Death is IA very intimate acquaintance

any rocky trail; and these conditions
are very deadly to any delusions that
he has in regard TO himself. He ac-
quires an ability to see just where he

possession. This quality had something
10 do with the remarkable record that
the mountain men, such as that mag

We Plan Escape.

The remainder of our journey to
Thark was uneventful.
Not once did | have speech with De-
that I would be welcome at her chart
OF, and my foolish pride kept me from
making any advances.
Just thirty days after my advent
upon Barsoom we entered the ancient
city of Thark, from whose long forgot
ten people this horde of green men
have stolen even their name. The
hordes of Thark number some thirty
thousand souls. and are divided into
twenty-five communities. Each com
munity has its own jed and lesser
chieftains, but all are under the rule
of Tai Hajus, Jeddak of Thark. Five
communities make their headquarters
at the city of Thark, and the balance
are scattered among other deserted
cities OF ancient Mars throughout the
district claimed by Tai Hajus.
We made our entry into the great
central plaza early in the afternoon.
There were no enthusiastic friendly
greetings for the returned expedition.
Those who chanced to be in sight
spoke the names of warriors or women
with whom they came in direct con-
tact, In the formal greeting of their
kind, but when it was discovered that
they brought two captives greater
interest was aroused, and Dejah
Thoris and l were the centers of in
quiring groups.
We were soon assigned to new quar-
ters, and the balance of the day was
devoted to settling ourselves to the
changed conditions. When l had put
my house in order, or rather seen that
1t had been done, it was nearing sun
set, and l hastened out with the inten-
tion of locating Sola and her charges,
as l had determined upon having
speech with Dejah Thoris and trying
to impress on her the necessity OF our
