1NDINGTH Three cllim who live in a fairylike nook, And never had seen sny boys, Once read of our totirth of July in l book. And promptly their own quiet woodland forsook, To iliare in the fun and the none. J3y the light of the moon they crept out on the sky And mc rnly ssng on their way, Asking politely of each passerby llow far they must go to meet Fourth ol Iiily, Till they came to the dawn of day. . What a different long these three elfins ang Ai '.hey limped their way homeward that night! They had heard how the bell in the steeple go "Clang!" Torpedoes and cracker go "Rattlety bang!" And the rocket go up out cf sight. For one little elfin by chance got astride Of a giant torpedo nearby: On a hiue cannon cracker the next took a ride; Xumber three to the tail of a rocket was tied, And all three were blown up there ky high. On the way coming down each elfin de clared He had seen quite enough of the sky, And promised himself, if he lived to be spaied, He would tay there on Fourth of July. Yet this was not all, for they met on the road OUR OWN QREflT DAT. d - Some Noteworthy Celebrations of the Fourth of July. EE WHEN IT "WAS FIRST OBSERVED. I I'R first Fourth of July Ol celcbrntlon took place In I Philadelphia four days I after the adoption of the Declaration of Indepen dence, on July 8, 1771. "a warm, sunshiny morning." ns one of those who were present described the day. John Nixon rend the declara tion In the yard of the State House, and the great assembly of peo ple "buv three repented huzzas." The king's arms were torn dowu from their plate, and then the proclamation was read before each of the live battailous on the commons. In the evening, which was clear and starlight, bontlres were kindled, ennuon were tired, bells were rung, "with other demonstrations of joy upon the unanimity and agree ment of the declaration." On July 0 Washington himself direct ed the celebration which was held lu New York. The declaration was read in the presence of the army, and the assembled people Indulged In displays very .like those of the preceding day In Philadelphia, although the New York celebration went a step further, for lu their enthusiasm the people tore down, beheaded and melted the statue of George III. lu Bowling Green, "the troops long having had an Inclination so to do." Tbe news was hurried forward to Boston, and the messengers made such Incredibly fast time that they arrived on the lSth of July. The people were dressed in their "holiday suits." and with the soldiers thronged the streets. Exactly at 1 o'clock Thomas Crafts arose lu the town house and read aloud the declaration, and the men stood up and repented the words of their officers and swore to uphold the rights of their country. The town clerk read the dec laration from a balcony to the crowd, "at the close of which a shout, begun In tin; hall, passed to the streets, which rang with loud huzzas, the slow and measured boom of cannon and rattle of musketry." Then there was a ban quet In the council chamber, "to which all the richer citizen were Invited." while great quantities of liquor were distributed nmoug the people, ami In the evening (hire was a general Ilium luntlon of the entire town. There was Ho statue of King George to bp broken, but the people did the next best thing, for they tore down the lion and the mil corn from the east wing of tho State House. One of the unpublished letters of John Adams gives the following de scription: "The thought of taking auy notice of this day was not conceived until the 2d of the mouth and was not mentioned until the Sd.

Then the President and lh' company re turned In the barge to the shore, and were saluted by three cheer from every ship, galley nnd boat In thp river. The wharves nnd shores were linen with a vast concourse of people, nil shouting and huzzaing. At 3 we went to dinner, nnd were very agrreably enfrtalned with excellent company, good cheer and music from the band of Hessians captured at Tren ton nnd by continual volleys between every toast from a company of sol diers." The letter then goes on to describe the processions and salutes of the sol diers, and expresses the surprise of the writer In the evening to behold almost every house lighted by caudles In the windows, "though a few surly nouses were dark. I had forgot," be eontln ties, "the rluglng of bells all day and evening, and the bonfires in the streets, and the fireworks played off. Had Gen eral Howe leen here In disguise, or hi master, this show would have given them the headache." WHIM VSACX WAS BXSTOHD, The anniversaries bad been cele brated In the army by the discharge of guns, the setting free of prisoners, and festivities In which the wive of tbe generals had been very active, Mrs. Kno and Mrs. Greene being espe cially Interested. The year when peace was declared witnessed tho Introduc tion of the orutlou. Guns and bells, of course, continued to be very much In evidence, and toasts were drunk and responded to at th? dinners which were provided on-evcry village green or city common. "George Washington," "The Constitution," "The United Stntes"and "The daughters of America" came lu for a goodly share of attention In ora tion and In toast. "Squirrels, chickens, green corn and vegetables of tho sea son" were piled upon the tables, and were free to nil, while llrewnter ns well as fireworks abounded. The Introduc tion of the "oration," however, chiefly distinguishes the celebration of 1783. and dates from that time. The fiftieth anniversary was the "Jti. bllee," and was tho most elaborate of all celebrations up to that time. Three of the signers of tho declaration were still living, although, the weakness of old age prevented them from taking an active part In the festivities. Thestrng gle of the South American countries to throw off the yoke of Spain and the populnr sympathy with Greece helped to Inspire the American people. Banda. bells, cannon and processions abound ed, nnd the oration held n conspicuous part. Josiah Qulncy was the orntot In Boston. F.dward Everett iu Cam bridge, while In Washington an "hon orable member" delivered n creal speech before a greater crowd from the steps of the Capitol. New York hail not yet made so much of the oration as had some of the other cities, but did not lack In enthusiasm. A long proces sion marched from the Buttery lo Washington Square, nnd was there re viewed by De Witt Clinton, the Gov ernor of the State. Ten thousnml peo ple were In the assembly and aided In disposing of the "ox feast" which had been provided. The enthusiasm throughout the land was Intense. The "Monroe doctrine," the "liberty of man." "the oppression of effete mon archies," were expressions hs-mI not only by the orators, but by nil men. Doubtless the "Jubilee" provided a mighty Impulse for the nation, then Just parsing out from Its childhood. ' Irei For the Fourth.

Each In commemorating Its founda tion recalled the name of n Pelcr. One was Peter Stuyvesanf, the other Peter the Great. Tho commercial capital of the Amer icas looked back over Its "J."o years of municipal life nnd rejoiced In Its rise from n group of huts with a stockade to the second city in the world. The Imperial capital of the ltussias exultr-d In the fact that It was not only ths youngest of Kttropean capitals, but half a century younger than Its Ameri can rival, n::d retold lis two centuries of warfare against flood, pestilence nr-.l Insurrection, In the transformation of tbf bogs of the ltiver Neva to a city of palaces and cathedrals with a popu lation of 1,300.000. The remarkable origin of St. Peters burg has caused a revival of Interna tional Interest In the still more remark n'olo character tf Its founder. States men of foreign nations who arc watch ing Ktissla just now with particular anxiety have paused lu their reading af dispatches from KIsliiiiefr". Tort Ar thur ami Sofia to consider the kind of man who llrst roused Hussia from Its ancient Or j-ntallsm, who first organ ized Its army, built Its first ships and who started the Slav on his career of ?xpanslon from the Baltic to th? Pa cific and from the Arctic to the tropics. Such a backward view of tho life of Peter tho Great reflects n strange com bination of traits which at first seem i medley. His great deeds, which so ?l.arly Illustrate thp perseverance, the poiirr.je, t'.ie ambition and the will power of the Kussian, are Intermingled iv. tn stran?", nlmost freauisii osca pade. I'ov o:;:i:npit t'ois monarch would devpt" his attention at one time t ta iiul'.iilng of a cathedral; on an-Dti'.e:- ccenslon '.;p would set up a fool !or a Patrlnrth. ii;i him with wine, and then cause t'.i drunken wretch to be rar.v'd In high state. Modern Rus'iar... however, are frank i:i :viai:r.g both t'.:? noble nnd the gro trsrpie nen of ti:e:r great Czar as In llcnilve of tli. snuggle of tb Slav from barbarism to the civilization of :lie present tir e. It was in Peter the .Treat that th ."orces of light and dark niss met and battled. Now the one, low th? other, conquered. Thoie who are so Intently studying the Russian of the twentieth century because of his tremendous Influence lu the world's politics find a peculiar significance In the wild side of Peter's character. Even at the present time the question Is asked: Is Russia still barbaric? What will she do next? A comparison of the savage Peter with the Russian of to-day shows how fur lu tlirse two hundred years the Rus sian mind has softened, nnd thus fore shadows to a certain degree Its future ieve'.opment. The" taics told of Peter abound with many madcap exploits, which more recent writers have proved absurd. Among the stories, however, which have not mc; with positive contra diction there are many which would feem to belong more to fiction than to history. For example. It Is related that during the earliest days of St. Petersburg the inhabitants revolted against living there any longer. In tho first year one hundred thousand bad died from prstlleuce nnd flood. The streets nud floors of the bouses wers so near the water's edge that fevers ravaged the community, and the bitter cold of winter, when the temperature frequently sank to forty degrees below scro, froze to deatli many a hardy Cossack win had been compelled to settle there. Accordingly the people sought tho priests to Inter cede for them and secure their de parture from the hated town. The Czar was living there at the t!me In a wooden hut, which Is still preserved, but the priests waited until Peter was out o! town. Then they celled the attention of tbe multitude to an iuinge of the Blessed Virgin, which was weeping copiously. "Our Blessed I.ady weeps for the Icknrss and death which afflicts us. She bids us flee this valley cf sorrow," taid the priests. Thi community had hern left In rliarge of Count Galofkiu. mid the count. In n'.ar.u. sent posthaste for I Is master. There was no ti:n lost. Peter was back before be was expect ed. As soon c.s he saw the weeping Imagp he tore off tho back of Its bend and discovered n hollow filled with oil, which kept trickling oat through the ?;-es. "That's the way your priests make fools of yon," cried the Czar, and pick ing up the image he took It home with him to add to his collection of curios. The first building, however, which Peter erected iu tbe city after the fort was a church. At n state dinner Pe'.or was wont to rncourage drinking and ftcuffliiig. r.s he raid It promoted good fellowship. I'or this purpose he saw that the tables were never furnl!i"d with enough chair to go around. Accordingly, the dinner started oft with a free fight for seats. Thorn who failed to find srnts were compelled either to sit on the floor or go without food. Neither were t'.ioi? enough nankins, aud after the gursts who obtained chair were seat ed they began another battle. In the same way there was always an iu sufficient number r.i dUUe r.r.d knives, o that many o." the sues s were com pelled to divide n' dish or an eating ctensM between them, to the derision of their more fortunate fellow. The Tear cheered on the combatant, and '.he greater tin noise nod contusion tie .-rore he r.pplauded the roisterers. To each guest was given a great cup f brandy, and this fiery potlou wa rollowed by goblets of tokay wine. ?onquent!y. the g'-'iater portion of Ihe arremblage become befuddled be fore even the soup was served. Throughout the meal gr?at bumpers of lark beer were passed around, and (Vt??, sitting at :he bend of tbe table C honor, surrounded with carpenters, liilpwrlghts r.nd mer-baulcs, shouted i) tbe s;nntors and foreign ambatsa tors scattered peliuisll uiouud tut; itusr t,', "Drink hearty! Drink heavy 1 Drink It nil!" At such dinners the Czar often played practical Jokes on his gnosis which would hardly be considered good eti quette nt the present time. I'or ex ample, he would hnve his cooks put mice lu the soup, so that the animals would not be found until the banquet rrs had almost drained the tureen. Again the Czar would announce after n course had been eaten that the meat was that of a raveu or wolf. Other dinners, according to some his torians, were made occasions for the Mlaiighterof crlmlnalsortraltors. When Peter was In Holland working as a Kaamlnm shipwright so that be might learn the shipwright's art ami Intro duce it into Russia, be leaned that n rebellion had broken out among the Strelltzes. or Imperial bodyguard. Quickly returning hom, he put down the Insurrection, and then ordered a great dinner to be held to commemor ate his victory. To those who bad been faithful to him lu his absence he offered rich rewards. The twenty lenders of the rebels, however, were led into the banquet hull and executed before the guests. Peter Is said to have acted ns executioner himself, and after each toast be would quaff a glass of wine and then strike off the head of n Strelltz. The other Insurrection ists were put to death on the wheel or by the axe, and their beads were transfixed on pikes along the streets. Peter's sojourn In Holland in t lie guise of n shipbuilder nnd his visit to England to study the wharves nud commercial life of London were filled with startling Incidents In keeping with the kind of man he was. Soon after his arrival at Zaaudnm crowds began to besiege bis humble apart ments to see him. Crowds always pro voked I'pter. and at this time be went Into a fit, ns he often did nt times of high nervous tension. The sight of the young man writhing on the floor drove olt the curious throng in n panic, but it did not discompose bis own attend ants. In London the Czar encountered such crowds that on one occasion when a porter carrying a hod pushed him cleat off the sidewalk he Immediately pulled up his sleeves for a fight. The Mar quis of Carmarthen was with 1.1m, and the English lord exclaimed: "Look here, you hind! Do you know whom you hnve Insulted? This man here Is the Czar of Russia." But the porter did not recoil. Instead he threw out his chest nnd remarked blandly: "Czar, hch? Well, we're hall czars 'ere!" On returning from England Peter was struck with the absurdity of the ancient costume of bis countrymen which they had Inherited from their former masters, the Tartars. Accord ingly he began a crusade ngaiust the great long coats nnd baggy trousers, which he snld prevented the Russlnus from keeping up with their Western neighbors. His ministers and courtiers were thunderstruck. Such a reform was not only revolutionary, they said, but would destroy the nation utterly. Tbe Russians would have their coat tails dragging ou the ground or they would perish. "You will cut off your coattalls or I'll cut off your heads!" shouted Peter iu a passion. The courtiers finally de cided that their heads were of more consequence and sullenly obeyed. The coattnils came off. Then the royal re former ordered the beards off. Tills was heaping Injury on Insult, "What was more beautiful than a beard reaching to the waist nnd cover ing the chest like a shawl?" asked the noble boyars. An insurrection was imminent. So Peter changed his tac tics slightly, but nt the same time ex ecuted a neat business coup by taxing every long beard cu a noble 91O0, and that of the peasantry a certain small sum every time they passed the city gates. At first the revenue was a handsome oue, but slowly the beards came off. "Fools." said Peter as the tax dwin dled away. "They had rather have their beards pulled out hair by hair than shave them off all at once." Finally there were only two long beards left at the court, and Teler caught these transgressors one day and shaved them himself before a court filled with guests and ambassadors.

The deep, sharp nnd narrowly pointed ci litre of t lie middle ribbon Is shaped as a "shawl point." You can scarcely help noticing them on the new straw walking bats.
