, I * V c ¥ cT A Fourth of July Confession BY CHARLES EUGENE BANKS. (Copyright, 1902. by Dally Story Pub. Co.) "Mr. Arnold, I don't think you be­ lieve what you say." , "Indeed I do. Miss Darlington." "Fourth of July Is a farce? Then you really think that?" "I mean to say thpit all the money spent In firing off crackers and burn­ ing rockets has no useful purpose." "It expresses, our feelings, I think, and that is all anything can do for us in this world.",. "I do not agree with you. There are many simpler and more sensible ways of giving expressions to our emotions than by filling the air with noise and smoke, it is childish. Grown people ought to be able to show their patriot­ ism in a more sensible way." "Fudge. You are getting as dry and uninteresting as those old books you bury yourself in most of the time. I believe in life. Books are all well enough in their way, but that is gener­ ally a very tiresome way." The hot blood surged into the face of the young man at the retort. He turned his gaze full on the girl at his side, but she was already turning away, calling softly to a robin hopping In the shade of an old apple tree that grew beside the gate leading Into the farmhouse grounds. "Milly!" he called, reproachfully. "Wait till George Lounsbery comes home from New York to-morrow and you'll see what the Fourth of July means to a man with real red blood In his veins. He was up laBt year and brought more than a hundred dollars' worth of fireworks. I don't believe any one went to bed that night at all. The sky was filled with red fire and I realized for the first time what It meant to be an American." "You mean the son of Fanner Lounsbery, I suppose?" "Yes. . He's a great man now, al­ though he was born and grew up In this illiterate neighborhood." "Milly " "Miss Darlington, if you please, Mr. Shakespeare. Does your dingy old leather-covered books tell you that a young man has the right to address a young lady that he met only four weeks ago with as much familiarity as though she was his sister?" The girl tossed her pretty head with an air that might have been learned in the court of a queen, although she had little knowledge of the ways of the world outside of Mohawk Valley. But was she not a woman, young, pretty, proud, whimsical--as most pretty young women are? And what need had she for instructions in the art of coquetry? To the serious young student who had come into the neigh­ borhood with no other Idea than that of earning a modest living by teaching in the public school she had knowledge enough and to spare. He loved her, of course. There was no escape from that. She knew it, too, as well as though he had told her so with all the Impassioned fervor of a Romeo. But he had not told her so. How could he when she met every attempt of his to utter what filled his heart with good- natured railery- "Is he--is Mr. Lounsbery a friend of yours?" "A friend of mine? Indeed he is. I have known him ever since I was a child. He Is a great man now. Cash­ ier In a bank in the city and trusted with tons of money. Wait till you see how things will move when he ar­ rives." He did wait, although with no pleas­ ant anticipations. And that uight he saw the rockets streaking across the sky and heard the honest country folk cheer the neatly dressed, smooth-spok­ en young man who Bet oft whole pack­ ages of fire-crackers with far less thought that one of the wealthiest among them would have struck a match. And when it was all over, when the last red flame had faded out of Ihe sky, the last pin-wheel had spit out its spiteful little life, the last bunch of fire-crackers popped and danced over the singed and trampled lawn, Arnold walked home alone through the woods, carrying the burnt end of a single cracker tightly clutched in his hand. After all had he not been right when he told Milly that all this cele­ bration was "noise and fury, signify­ ing nothing?" She had boasted to him that Mr. Lounsbery would bring a hun­ dred dollars' worth of fireworks from the city to voice the patriotism of the neighborhood. And her boast bad been made good. A hundred dollars! Why, that was more than he wai to get for the three months' term of teaching in the Randall district school. • hundred dollars! What could he not have done with the money that had been consumed in an evening, for the glory of patriotism? He thought of the long, dreary struggle behind him, and the dark, dreary, tedious days ahead and a great bitterness clutched at his heart and an unfamil­ iar oath rose in his throat and de­ manded that he give it tongue. What was all this boasted liberty If It brought nothing to one and so much to another? Why should this young coun­ try boy be favored by fate so that the best positions In a great city were his for the asking, while he, the student, the scholar, the man with a real pur­ pose and a high aim, was left to win his way among such hopeless surround­ ings? Hopeless, indeed. For she who had wakened in his heart new aspira tions, made even the frowning future bright with promise, she had turned from him with scarcely a word to join ln_the praise and adulation that wai showered upon the successful man of the world. She was heartless. He was sure of that now, and it was well that he had found no opportunity during the bustle of the day and evening to give her the written declaration he had found it Im­ possible to make in spoken words. AT least he was saved the humiliation ot a refusal. Let it be burned with a'l the other useless things of the day. He ran his hand Into his pocket. It was empty. The letter he had penned in a fever of hope and despair was gone. He must have dropped it on the lawn. The thought of some one find­ ing and reading it brought the blush to his cheek and sent him back over the fields with impatient strides. He left the beaten path and climbing the snake fence that divided the pasture land from the orchard hurried forward In the shadow of the trees. As he came out upon the lawn a white bit of paper gleaming in the dew-wet grass caught his eye and he sprang forward and eagerly caught it up. It was the envelope that had held uis letter, but it had been opened and the letter was gone. It is said that every man has one murder in his heart which he will be ready to commit if the proper moment arrives. To the great majority this moment nev6r presents itself; only one In ten thousand is therefore forced to face the gallows. Whether this be true or not it was fortunate that the person so suddenly to face the young schoolmaster at that moment was be­ yond the power of his hands. A man would have to be a devil Indeed to wish harm to a fine young woman with the fresh color of the country on her cheeks, the light of roguery In her eyes and the moonlight clothing her as a garment. And then if she laugh merrily and the next instant throw her arms about his neck and tell him he is "an old goose," he isn't likely to wish harm to his worst enemy. "I read your letter all through, yon silly old thing, and there isn't a word of truth in it. If there was I should be caught up to heaven una minute. You were awfully scared when you found some one had opened it? Oh. I could see your eyes flash even in the moonlight. And you swore, too. I heard you; don't deny it. That's what decided me. Up to that time I was afraid you were too good to be human. There's Just one thing more you must do before I'll promise not to refuse you. You've got to admit that the Fourft of July is the grandest day in the year and promise to celebrate it like a true American every year with real fire-crackers." "I shall always hold the day sacred in my heart, dearest," he said, solemn­ ly. "It has brought me " "Slavery, sir, slavery. But, there, I'll try to make your chains as light as possible, and--Frank, I love you better than all the rockets in the world." ASK FOR STRANGE FAVOR8. GUARDIAN WOULD NOT WORRY Unique Distinction Made by Half-Wit* ted North Carolinian. Gov. Charles B. Aycock of North Carolina, in explaining a political proposition to an audience, told a story of a neighbor of his who was better equipped mentally than his friends believed. "This fellow," said the Governor, "was regarded as half-witted, and a guardian was appointed for him and his property. Some time after he sold a horse to a neighbor, and the neigh­ bor discovered that the animal he se­ cured was balky, vicious and utterly worthless. "The neighbor saw the half-witted fellow and demanded that the bargain be revoked and his money refunded, but the other laughed at him. 'I will have your guardian after you,' he threatened, 'and will tell him how you have swindled me.' "But the half-witted one was not worried. 'My guardian will not care,' he asserted. 'He was appointed to see that others did not swindle me. and not to see that I did not swindle oth­ ers.' That closed the argument." JOKE LOST ON ENGLISHMAN. Made Literal Interpretation of Popu- J lar Slang Phrase. Prof. Hinsdale of Hiram College is a believer In expressive language, even if it borders just a little upon slang. A short time ago the students at the college were clamoring for a certain textbook which was more popular than the one in use. Prof. Hinsdale was opposed to any change, and hints had no effect upon him. Finally one of the professors of mathe­ matics, who was an Englishman and a graduate of Cambridge, was im­ portuned to present the claims of the class to Prof. Hinsdale. In reply to the request of the pro­ fessor, Prof. Hinsdale exclaimed: "You may tell the class it will be 'a cold day' before I will Introduce that book in this college." The Englishman returned to the class and announced, "Prof. Hinsdale says he will not introduce the book you ask for until winter." He hasn't seen the Joka yet.--New Tork Times. When Christ is the alphabet life becomes God's literature. President Schurman's Odd Letters Come From Everywhere. Many strange requests come to the president of a great university, but President Jacob Gould Schurman of Cornell is beginning to think that he is particularly blessed. Most of the odd appeals are from people who think he owns part of the Philippine Islands, and from fond mothers who are anxious about undergraduate sons. The limit of strange requests was reached a few days ago, however, in a letter from an up-state farmer, which read something like this: "I send you by this mail a piece of the meat which was found in the stomach of my dog, which is dead already. We think he was poisoned by a homely critter who lived on the next farm. You will please make an investigation of the meat and tell us what kind of poison it was. That will be evidence. We think you are a very fine college president." The letter was enough of a shock, says the New York Tribune, but there was a greater one when the box containing the sample of ,poisoned meat was opened the next day. Taking a Man Unawares. Bland, Mo., June 30th.--F. B. Crider describes very graphically how he was overtaken by an euemy and his narrow escape, he says: "For years I have been troubled with Kidney Disease which came on me so gradually that I did not know what it was until the pains in my back warned me that It was Kidney Trou­ ble. "I began treatment at once and used one medicine after another, but with­ out help, till at last I was just about to give up in despair. "Just then I heard, of Dodd's Kidney Pills a^d bought a few boxes and be­ gan to.dtake them. They helped me from th^ first and now I am completely cured. Dodd's Kidney Fills is the only medicine that ever did me any good. They are worth their weight in gold." ONLY SLIGHTLY MIXED. Colored Man Explains His Relation­ ship to Small Misdemeanant. An amusing incident occurred dur­ ing a recent session of the juvenile court, presided over by Judge Scott, says the Washington Star, when a small colored boy was on trial for breaking the shrubbery in one of the public parks. Before deciding the case the court asked if either of the boy's parents was in court, when a portly colored man walked around and mounted the witness stand. "Are you the father of this My?" Prosecutor Given asked. "No, sir," was the answer. "Well, what is your relationship?" "1 m his father-in-law,' was the re­ sponse. "How do you makeHhat out?" his honor asked, thinking the witness had made a mistake. "I married this boy's mother," he answered quickly. As no great offense had been com­ mitted the boy was released on the promise of his "father-in-law" to ap­ ply the switch on reaching home. DURING SUMMER MONTHS ^ - Dr. Hartman Gives Free Advice to Suffering Women. An Enthusiastic Vegetarian. The famous French geographer, Eli- see RecluS, who is now in his seventy- third year, lives at Brussels in great seclusion, the only place where a stranger can meet him being at a vegetarian restaurant, where he takes his meals. He has been a vegetarian all his life and declares that the time will come when Europeans will look on beef-eating with the same horror that we do on cannibalism. One day he came to a friend, pale and agitated. My wife is deceiving me," he ex­ claimed; and when his friend looked at him in astonishment, he added: "I have surprised her when she was boil­ ing my Spinach in bouillon." Head of Greek Catholics. Archhishop Andrew Ifodoboy, who was recently sent to this country by the college of propaganda of Rome to take charge of the Greek Catholic priests of this countr; , has decided to make his home in Scranton, Pa., that being the most central point on ac­ count of the great number of Greek Catholics who reside in the anthracite coal regions. Archbishop Hodoboy is to have charge over the Greek Catho­ lics who acknowledge the supremacy of the pops Orthodox Greek Catho­ lics recognize the czar as the head of their church. What About Your School Hovieif You may not this season be able to build a new one. or make the radical changes in the old oue that you had in contemplation, but there is no school district in the United States that can­ not afford to tint w.tli Ahibastine the Interior of their buildings, thus mak­ ing them more attractive, getting col­ ors made with special reference to their effects on the eyes of the pupils, getting a sanitary and rock base ce­ ment coating that will not harbor dis­ ease germs. The closely crowded school rooms need all the safeguards to the health of the pupil that intelligent officials can surround thein with, and all saai- tarians unite in saying that Alabastine is the only proper material to be used on such walls. Jules Verne a Hard Worker. Jules Verne, the novelist, though now in his eighty-sixth year, still works at his desk for four hours a day. He has several new books in hand, which he hopes to finish before the close of the year. His house in Paris is crammed with scientific books, electrical apparatus and nauti­ cal instruments and on the wall of his study hangs an enormous map of the world, all scored over with lines, In­ dicating the routes taken by the heroes of his stories. Verne corrects his works to a remarkable extent and it is said that he has rewritten many of his books ten times. A Great Piece of Railroad Work. With the completion of work on the western division, the Chicago, Turlington and Quincy Railway Com­ pany will have practically a new dou­ ble track main line through the State of Iowa. For several years an enor­ mous work has been going on and millions of dollars have been expend­ ed in reducing grades, taking out curves, building double track and put­ ting in new steel bridges. New Old Courtesy. According to a Paris correspondent, Frenchmen have started a league the object of which is to revive an old custom, that of man showing their re­ spect to women by kissing their hands. It has much to commend it, the Boston Herald thinks, but fears that as soon as the graceful, delicate hand kissing begins the cranks will discover a new microbe in it that no amount of manicuring will render in­ nocuous. To the housewire woo has not yet become acquainted with the new things of everyday use in the market and who Is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guaranteed by the manufacturers to be superior to any other brand, but because each 10c package contains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance Starch will use no other. Quality and Quantity must win. Value of Pineapple Juice. The best lubricant for the organs of the throat is said to be pineapple juice. It is also said that people liv­ ing in countries where the cone- shaped fruit is grown never suffer from bronchial affections. The Most American City.

The great majority of nervous women are so because they are suffer­ ing from some form of female disease. By far the greatest number of female troubles are caused by catarrh. Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh despair of recovery. Female trouble is so common, f-o prevnlrnt, that they ac­ cept it as almost, inevitable. The great­ est obstacle in the way of recovery is that they do not understand that it is catarrh which is the source of their illness. In female c mplaint, ninety- nine cases out of one hundred are noth­ ing but catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. The following letter was recently re­ ceived: ]8f> W. 38th St., New York City. The Peruna Medicine Co., I oluinbus.O. Gentlemen: -- "What bread and meat means to the hungry Peruna means to the sick.
