There Is only one safe certain and

anu went into an inner court of Ills
house where slept his sons and his
daughters and his bird dog Aud when
he found them slumbering he cried out
In a large voice
Arise you young coyotes This Is
the Fourth and man must needs get
up early and chase himself lest the
ulght come and find him sober and un
mutllated
So they all got busy And James
and his sons straightway yoked up his
mules and attached them to the spring
less wagon And they all got in and
went a long journey into a far country
where there was a lake no larger than
n mans hand And with them also was
a small keg which contained neither
molasses nor nails And there were
also many other people gathered to
gether at the lake and to each other
they murmured Isnt this lovely
Then did James go forth with a
friend and slay birds And they drag
ged a ten pound shotgun over a plowed
field about twelve miles and they said
they were glad they didnt have to
work that day And after they had
crippled two jack rabbits they return
ed aud sat upon the ground and ate
very lustily partaking without fear or
favor of chicken chowder tarantulas
and terra firma
And lo about this time the keg be
gan to get busy And James Dunstan
Dasho began to dance before the peo
ple aud he spoke mauy strange words
the like of which had never been heard
before and lo a red faced man
with a wart on his nose awoke and re
marked that James was not pleasing
unto him And James and he straight
way rushed together with much en
thusiasm And it came to pass that
James presently looked like a bale of
loose hay and he said he had enough
And every one believed him Then he I
slept and when he awoke he found
that his mules had wandered off about
three days journey Then he gather
ed his family together aud they hot
footed it to town And he and his fam
ily brought back all but three of the
red bugs in those woods and those
three were young and would not leave
their mother And the following day
his neighbors questioned him how he
had spent the Fourth And he answer
ed
Oh we had a nice quiet day in the
woods You ought to have went

REAL INDEPENDENCE DAY
July 2 Hns a Valid Claim to Beins
Celebrated
On the 3d of July 177G says Paul
Lelaud Haworth in Harpers Maga
zine John Adams then one of the rep
resentatives of Massachusetts in the
Continental congress wrote to his wife
Abigail
Yesterday the greatest question was
decided which was ever debated in
America and a greater perhaps never
was nor will be decided among men
In a second letter written the same
day he said
But the day is past The 2d of July
will be the most memorable epoch in
the history of America I am apt to
believe that it will be celebrated by
succeeding generations as the great
anniversary festival It ought to be
commemorated as the day of deliver
ance by solomn acts of devotion to God
Almighty it ought to be solemnized
with pomp and parade with shows
games sports guns bells bonfires and
illuminations from one end of this con
tinent to the other from this time for
ward forevermore
When the resolution was taken up on
the 2d all the states except New York
voted to accept it Thus on the 2d day
of July 177G the independence of the
thirteen United Colonies from the
throne of Great Britain was definitely
decided upon The 2d and not the
4th may be called the true date of the
separation
Our Unexampled Republic
The world has but oue republic that
has illustrated constitutional freedom
in all its beneficence power and gran
deur and that is our own priceless in
heritance As a government our re
public has alone been capable of and
faithful to representative free institu
tions with equal rights equal justice
and equal laws for every condition of
our fellows All the nations of the past
furnish no history that can logically
repeat itself in our advancement or de
cline Created through the severest
trials aud sacrifices maintained
through foreign aiid civil war with un
exampled devotion faithful to law as
the offspring aud safety of liberty
progressive in all that ennobles our
peaceful industry and cherishing en
lightened and liberal Christian civili
zation as the trust and pride of our cit
izens for our government of the peo
ple none but itself can be its parallel

How FirecrackcrH Are 3Iade
Iu former times all the crackers used
on the Fourth of July came from
China Now nearly all of them are
made right here in America The work
Is very simple Strips of soft paste
board are saturated with some ex
plosive material and rolled closely
around a bit of composition that is
powder mixed with sulphur so as to
burn slowly with a hissing noisp which
is terminated with the sharp crack
from which the cracker gets its
name A primer or a cord soaked
with saltpeter is included in the roll
ing process a red cover is added and
the joy of the boy and the misery of
the dog Is ready for use
H Glorious four

ERE it is the Fourth agin J
Sakcs alive how time does spin I
Dont seem like its sixty year
Since I first begun to hear
All the loud tarnation noise
We stirred up when we was boys
All of us awishin powder
Was lots cheaper and lots louder I
Recollect with what delight
Used to be up half the night
Hclpin fire the anvil or
Makin other sounds of war
Used to wish the earth was drilled
Out inside and powder filled
And that I could somehow just
Touch her off and hear her bust

HEXiPTN FIRE THE ANVIL
Werent no cannon crackers then
Kind o wish there had a been
Then they would a sounded sweet f
Now they lift me off my feet
Ive begun to think that noise
Was invented just for boys
Fourth o July dont seem to me
T all like what it used to be
Just as patriotic still
Somehow I dont catch the thrill
Of the loud tumultuous joy
Like I used to when a boy
Nothin doin then but I
Had a finger in the pie
But that finger as you see
Got blowed off eventually

FOURTH OF JULY FUN
Burlesque Circus a Feature
In a
Wisconsin City
Every year for a long time the
Fourth of July has been celebrated by
Janesville Wis citizens in a unique
manner Iu place of the old time
games with speeches and fireworks in
the evening a burlesque circus is giv
en known as the Circus of the None
such Bros Everything is a takeoff
on a x egular circus parade and club
men golfers society leaders business
men laborers and mechanics unite for
the one day in making the circus a suc
cess A fund known as the Nonesuch
Bros circus fuud is raised and turned
over to a committee to expend Bands
from all over the state are hired and
the press committee bills the circus as
is done with the genuine article
George McKey a rich lumberman is
the leading spirit in the creations and
directs the arrangements Lawyers
brokers business men and all dress in
fantastic costumes for the days en

these affairs that all the railroads run

The Stars and Stripes
When the stars and stripes went
down at Charleston in 1SG1 they went
up immediately in every town and city
in the loyal states Four yeais later
they went up again on Fort Sumter
Major Anderson lowered the fiig in
1S1 Major General Anderson raised
the identical flag again four years
later Three hundred and fifty thou
sand Union soldiers had given up their
lives that he might raise it The south
was in ruins Three million slaves
had been made free All that that lit
tle piece of bunting might be at the
top of the staff once more And when
the American schoolboy and schoolgirl
see the flag on the scnoolliouse they
should be taught to remember all this

Hovr to Fire n Cannon Firecracker
The most impressive way to dis
charge a cannon firecracker is to hold
it tightly between the thumb and fore-
finger The effect is heightened in an
inverse ratio with the age of the hold
er In the very young it is sometimes
possible not only to lose the hand but
part of the arm
The Firecracker and the Torpedo
Said a jolly firecracker to a little plump
torpedo
If you were patriotic you would wear
a suit of red
And stand up in the window just as
straight as we do
And this Is what the smart torpedo
said
I am Just as patriotic though I wear no
scarlet jacket
For Im no such blooming little fire
brand as you
Tomorrow youll be learning when you
hear the racket
What a little plump torpedo then can
do

The Story of nn Invention
The power loom was the Invention of
a farmers boy who had never seen or
heard of Buch a thing Die fashioned
one with his penknife and when he got
It all done he showed it with great en
thusiasm tn his father who at once
kicked it art to pieces saying he would
have no boy about him who would
spend his time on such foolish things
The boy was sent to a blacksmith to
Iearu a trade and his master took a
lively interest In him Die made a
loom of what was left of the one his
father had broken up and showed It to V
his master The blacksmith saw he 9
had no common boy as an apprentice q
anu mac xne invention was a valuable
one He had a loom constructed under
the supervision of the boy It worked
to their perfect satisfaction aud the
blacksmith furnished the means to
manufacture the looms and the boy
received half the proQts Iu about a
year the blacksmith wrote to the boys
father that he should bring with him
a wealthy gentleman who was the In
ventor of the celebrated power loom
You may be able to judge of the as
tonishment at the old home when his
son was presented to him as the in
ventor who told him that the loom
was the same as the model that he
had kicked to pieces the previous year
The Pointer
There is as much fallacy in attempt
ing to prove the origin of pointing as in
a like attempt to prove the origin of
eatiug As a matter of fact the point
ing act commonly exhibited by the
pointer and sot tor is an incident of the
capture or attempted capture of food
by dogs and also by wolves and foxes
Coyotes have been sen to and

A Gentle Wish
It was their honeymoon They had
moved into a pretty suburban house
and were getting settled cozily at last
I have something for you she said
when he came home from the office
A present
Yes You have no night key so I
had one made for you Here it is
That was very thoughtful of you
But how did you come to take so much
trouble
I wanted it as a kind of barometer
Youll let me lnok at it now and then
wont you
Certainly
Im not going to say you mustnt go
out evenings and Im not going to sit
up until you come home when you are
out late I only hope she said coa
ingly that every time I look at it the
key will be a little bit rustier and then
I will know that home pleases you
more than any other place
The Fountain Pen
The fountain pen is not an invention
of recent years In Samuel Taylors
Universal S3stem of Shorthand Writ
ing published in 17SG we find proof
of the fountain pens great age
I have nothing more to add wrote
Samuel Taylor for the use or instruc
tion of the practitioner except a few
words concerning the kind of pen prop
er to be used for writing shorthand
For expeditious writing some use what
are called fountain pens into which
your ink is put which gradually flows
when writing from thence into a small
er pen cut short to fit the smaller end
of this instrument but it is a hard
matter to meet with a good one of this
kind
The Fork
It is about 1000 years ago since the
fork made its appearance in Europe
In 09 A D a son of the doge Pietro
Orsolo had wedded in Venice the Briz
zantine Princess Argila who produced
at the wedding breakfast a silver fork
and gold spoon Then the high Vene
tion families followed suit and these
martyrs to fashion pricked their lips
with the new instrument The fork
prospered however and spread over
Italy In 1379 it had traveled as far I
as France and in 1G0S a traveler I
brought it direct to England
