for n big celebration In every county

ftlong In March, und tho first thing ho did
'Van to move for a good Fourth of July
iMlobration. It was stratigo, having tho ;
management of tho affair in liU own
1 bands, if lie didn't deliver tho main ma
tiou, and it was stranger still if after
giving them that taeto of his metal lie
fdld not win a fair huro of their casea in
court. Ho conceived the happy idea of
offering a money premium for tho lar
gest, delegation from any ouu township
And his has become m much an ago of
'monoy getting that it did what patriot
ism could not und fnirly filled Wood
villo vith countrymen by 10 o'clock in

Counselor Wntto wanted him.
But theso wero only u fowof tho many

great. Tho oldest settler In the county
was hero a totally rjxiei"'tablo but do
llciously comical old fellow, who had
drank to repletion from every jug m
tho grounds, mid who Insisted on Inter
rupting every conversation with tales of
tho Indians ho hud slain mid tho deer ho
hud outrun on the dry grounds whem
tho bet buildings of Woodvillo now
lifted their galvanized Iron cornices.
Tho first woman M'ttlcr waa alto pres
ent. She came down in u chair set in
tho common wagon box and was a pei
son of Interest for tho first tlinoin years.
Shu had been snubbed and browbeaten
o many times by her son-in-lnw that
sho took unstinted revenge now In re
ceiving the attentions of tho populace
and in telling how sho uted to "swing
an ax as good as any man" in those old
days b-'foro tho wilderness had learned
to blossom.

the shape of gowns called dresses in
Woodvillo. On tho boys tho same figure
nud fabric appeared as shlrtsthough for
tho youngest not enough tin had been
allowed, and his collar was pinned on
to his great annoyance and occasional
agony. Tho rest of tho children wete
either small enough to wear the eastoiF
clothes of their elders or large enough tc
wear purchases of their own Of eourst'
tlio man with the biggest family had a
money premium, and of course he mo
uopolized it, as if tho bearing ami rear

iwork Squiro Stradley had eonseitd to read
tho declaration, and ho did so with a
strength and judgment which showed
that ho at least was as good a patriot as
tho first man who ever "held thee
truths to bo self evident." Then came a
prayer by tho most daring minister in
the place a man who lived In hope of
fcomo time being hauled up before th?
conference on a charge of heresy. When
ho concluded, tho glee club t-aug "Amer

Wasiunoion, June Oil. All move
ments of widespread interest necessarily
Iiavo to bo propelled into public nutlet
by siiiiio person and some definite propo
sition. Sometimes in the growth of tin
movement tho initiating force is almost
forgotten, and tho movement seems as it
it grew of itself.
It is so with the present agitation in
favor of pension reform resulting in tin
Faruham post trouble In O. A. It. ranks
It was not until in tho houto of repre
sentative last February, when several
amendments to tho pension laws wen.
brought hi as "riders" to tho pension
appropriation bill, that concrete form
and impetus wero given tho puiision tjues
Hon. These amendments proposed in briel
j that no alien living outside of tliu United
States tdinuld continue to receive n pen
sioiii Hint no widow who married mort
than live years after tho war should bt
pensioned, and that under tho depend-
' cut and disability act of ISiM) no person
should be pensioned who is not disabled
from manual labor and is in receipt ol
f an income exceeding ijl'iOO a year. These
amendments failed, as it was Uuowu
they would fail, but had just tho effect
anticipated by causing a two weeks' de
bate that started tho present movement
into activity.
The propelling forco of tho nmei
ments was .lu.-eph 11. O'Neill, nieiiib. f
of congress Ironi Doatou. The groin .
was probably fallow for at least a dls
cu"ion of the imontion whether pension
allowances hud gone too far. Had he
himself not thought tho time ripe and
that ho could Kifely strike the blow
their author would not have presented
the amendments. Mr, O'Neill is not tin
man to rashly throw" himself into 11
breach, That may bo heroic: but, as he
himself would say, it is not politics. Nc
moro distinctive type ol tho Ynnkeo
Irishman could be imagined than Joe
O'Neill, as his iiiti.uates know him He
is not the mercurial, devil-may-care
Irishman of the novelist. Ho is lioue-t,
industrious and warm hearted, but cleat

ber sits on the llnor of tho house. John

Mr. O'Neill is just turned into his for
tieth year Originally from Fall River,
ho located in South Dostou and plunged
actively into silitics. Ho has always
had to light for success, but lias always
succeeded. As there aro In South Bos
ton a number of hrnht young men llko
himself, ambitious for a public career,
tho fact that Joseph O'Neill has nlwuys
succeeded si eaks for it cf him aa an

man, he is not of the (jiiinuy wing of the
Massachusetts Democracy. Ho was not

walkingabout, hesaldionio: "Thosotwo
men were gallant lighters. They are
not tho men I'm after. I know what all
their records are. I've looked them up.
and some persons may find it out."
He had examined the war records of
every probable opponent of the bill.
What will come of tho movement ho
started remains for time to tell, but it
will give Mr.O'Ncill t ational prominence.
