Firecrackers and Pistols Regarded as Relics of Barbarism by Sensible Peo- ple—Other Topics of Interest to Little People, Playing with fire on Independence day is ceasing to be fashionable, and the flery Fourth will soon be a thing of the past. Doubtless firecrackers, pistols and other relics of barbarism will continue for a few more years to damage humanity and property, but each year the lists of casualties, accl- dents and fires should continue to grow beautifully less until the “glorious” Photo by American Press Association INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATORS, day's records will no more resemble those of a great battle than those of any other day not so glorious. Young America celebrates the birth- | day of freedom in a much more sensl- | ble and agreeable fashion these days. | Parades in with flags and banners, are very popular; then there are picnics and excursions and carnl- | vals, with songs and flowers, cake and fce cream, all much more enjoyable and interesting than fireworks and poise. The two young patriots shown | fn the picture have the true spirit of Independence day. They pin their faith | to the stars and stripes. | costume, A Versatile Dog. In Tennessee a dog has been discov. ered that can mimic many sounds. It a yellow mongrel, answers to the mame of Bench and is very unprepos- sessing, except that in its eyes there are gleams of almost human intelli gence. The dog's owner places him on a ehair, and, making a sign, Bench gives | an imitation of a Shanghal rooster | erowing. Then without further com- mand he follows it with the neigh of a | horse, the lowing of cows, the grunts and squeals of pigs and other noises lacident to farm life | Of course the imitations are not so good as if made by a human being, but they are sufficiently accurate to be readily recognized. | The owner declares that nobody | taught the dog and that his imitative | powers were discovered by accident, | i | Riddles. When is a silver cup most Hkely to run? When it Is chased Why would a tanner make a good | chemist? Because he anlerstands ox- | (h)ldes, | Why is a fleld of grass like a person | older than yourself? Because it's past | your age (pasturage), | Why Is a watch like a river? Be-| canse it doesn’t run long without wind- | ing. Where lies the path of duty? Through | the custom house. What would a man be doing who willed his body to a medical college? Giving himself dead away. What is the trade of all presidents? Labinet makers. Cat and Mouse. Two players, the cat and the mouse, are blindfolded and tied to a tree or post by two long strings. The mouse is given two pleces of wood, or a nut meg grater and a plece of wood an- swers the purpose better. These the mouse grates together occasionally to give the cat a clew as to its where abouts, As both players are blindfolded, the cat ls sometimes close beside the mouse when she hears the grating and ean easily pounce upon her. When eanught the mouse becomes a cat, and the cat joins the spectators, while a pew mouse Is chosen to take the mouse’'s place. Mighty Shadows. Exaggerated shadows of Immense size are commonly seen in many places, On the Hartz mountains the so called Specter of the Brocken throws gigan tc shadows of mountain climbers into the sky, repeating every movement made by them, The same occurs on the summit of Pambamarca in Peru, On the tops of Alpine peaks and on the summit of Ben Lomond In Scot land, mists in one case and rarefled air in the other, explain these optical delusions, The same causes also pro duce colored shadows.

The game was stopped for some reason, and the coacher at first sat on the sack during the delay. Joe looked over the infield and saw three men on bases. The first ball pitched when the game was again started was hit to the third baseman, who threw home In worlds of time to get the man trying to score Joe thought the man was forced out and yelled at Denny Long, the firs baseman, to get on the sack to com plete a double play, while Long yelled at Joe to touch his man, : The runner stepped nimbly on the plate while Joe swore at the first base man. They revived Joe with cold water after he had discovered what he had done.

No drop but serves the slowly lifting tide No dew but has an errand to some flower No smallest star but sheds some helpfu my, And ey. by man, each giving to all the rest, Makes the firm bulwark of the country’s power, There is no better way. ~8usan Coolidge. Branded Him. Dr. Norman Porritt, the consulting) surgeon of the Royal infirmary at Hud. | dersfield, Yorkshire, England, does not mind telling a story against himself He says that on one occasion he was called to a butcher's shop to examine some meat that had been condemned by the medical officer of health ag being unfit for human consumption. When the case came on for hearing in the local police court one of the witnesses, a butcher, was asked, “Who were present when the meat was ex amined 7’ To which the witness answered quite seriously, “Dr. Porritt and a number of other butchers!” | i A Scot's Tune One Scot Didn't Like. | A new admiral-a Macdonald-—-had succeeded Admiral Campbell In the! command of a British squadron. The band had been In the habit of playing! “The Campbells Are Coming” when their former admiral had a dinner] party, and they did so in honor of] Macdonald | The first time the chief of the Mac | donalds heard It (tells Admiral Fitz gerald In “Memories of the Sea') be was very angry and sent for me--the captain being on shore-and the fol | lowing dialogue took place: “What do they mean by playing “The Campbells Are Coming? " | “It has been customary to play it, | gir, as a compliment to Admiral Camp | bell, and, being a Scotch alr, no doubt) the bandmaster thought It would be] agreeable to you.” | “Agreeable to me! Don't you know | the next line of the song, “The Camp | bells are coming, the Macdonalds are | running? Never let me hear that tun« | again.” And the bandmaster was ordered to Gaul” Instead. “Granny Vie" The subjects of Queen Victoria hel | thelr sovereign in veneration and re It was only among her ow: family circle, where she was “granny” and not “her majesty.” that any criti clsm of her character and disposition was ever heard. There Is one amusing incident in point told by Mrs. “Hugt Fraser In “The Reminiscences of a Di plomatist’'s Wife." Miss Elizabeth C. Berdan was an in timate friend of the young princesses and was in great request at the palace as a playmate for the young girls One day one of the princesses gave Miss Berdan a ring. It was a prett) little trinket, but simple and inexpen sive. “I would like to give you some thing much finer, Bessie,” sald th princess apologetically, “but, you know Granny Vie 1s so stingy!" “Shifting Sande” Scoop had been assigned to cover the lecture of a noted French orator. The hall in which the lecture was delivered was very warm and comfortable, and Bcoop went to sleep. At the close of the lecture he woke up with a start and as he pulled himself together hi hazy mind caught the words “shiftin; sands.” That was sufficient for Scoop Arriving at the office, he straightwna: proceeded to the “dope room,” wher he spent a good half hour reading about shifting sands. When the French orator opened the paper next morning he found himsel eredited with having given a long talk on shifting sands the night before Jamming the paper Into his pocket, the Frenchman went with long strides tc the editor and demanded an explana tion for the story. “What is the matter?” asked the ed! tor. “Doesn't the article cover the subject fully? “Cover ze subject, indeed!” replied the Frenchman, “I sald nothing about so shifting sands, except dat ay would be ze subject on which I lecture next week!"
