HIS INDIGNATION.
Only h Brute Would Let a Woman
Stand In n Car.
The rushed man of affairs Jumped
on tin* car. The passenger next to the
doer got off, and he made a (live for
the vacated seat, never once casting
evea a gla-uce at the half dozen women
clinging desperately to the straps as
they were Jerked this way and yank
ed that, lie hid himself behind his
paper, mnl all things else sank Into
complete oblivion so far as the man of
affairs was concerned. It mattered
nothing to'him whether the woman in
front of him sighed as her tired hands
clung to the strap over his head with
grim determination. She could have
stood there forever, and the man would
ncvor have a much as turned a pity
ing glance upon her.
"Well, my dear, are you tired to
night'/" asked the wife of the man of
affairs as they seated themselves at
dinner.
"Oh, no, not especially."
"Well, I am tired—Just tired out to
night."
"Been overdoing It again, I suppose.
You must be more careful. Avoid all
uiic<Mftwanr exertion, my dear, or we
will have v a doctor's bill."
"I bad such a trying experience to
day. A man made me stand up In the
war for 20 blocks. My hands were all
cramped and tired, and I was nearly
dead. Such men should be ashamed
of themselves."
"Oh, you And such people every
where. Only a brute would let a wo
man stand in a car," indignantly ob
served the man of affairs.

INDEPENDENCE DAY ODE.
T
j The rattle of craokpre, the roar of the kuii&—
Wliat do tlipy tell us, oh, wondering uaet?
The rockets that spread
Ft reams of stars overhead.
The banners that flout
And'the bugle's brave note
All tell the story our grandslre's eons
Heard from their fathers of tyranny's fall-
Tell the great story of gallantry bred
Out of men's hate for the bonds that inthrall—
Tell the high story
Of God given glory,
Of strength for the Just and the Lord o'er us
all!
Deathle the love they wou
While love shall last.
While still from sire to son
Precepts are pawed--
While the stars shine
O'er your country and mine!
Shame on the man who is racked by the sounds;
Narrow thp aone that his little soul bounds!
Let the guns roar,
Jjft the red rockets soar,
And bring from the smithies the anvil 6 once morel
With the fife and the drum
And the bugle and bomb
Let the universe know that the great day is come!
For their glory who turned from the plow to the
sword
Make a sound—make a sound of great Joy to the
Lord!
I What Is the story the skyrockets tell,
Soaring up over the walls of the night?
'Tia the story of pride that was lofty and fell
When the stars of our freedom burst grandly in
sight,
Flooding the world with their glorious light 1
And tlie years go by.
And traditions die,
! And men aspire;
J Let the beacons flash on crag and shore,
| Let the signal lights rise higher, higher,
i Ever more brilliant than before,
Ever till earth from her orbit shall fall
Let the seeptere they won
Pass from sire to son-
Each a king in his right and the Lord o'er us alll

THROWING OFF THE YOKE.
The IlrNolnt lon In rngrei Thnt
Led to Our Independence.
I It was on June 7, 177(1, tlmt the dele
i gates from the colonies sitting in congress
in Philadelphia considered the following
resolution introduced by Virginia's states-
I man, Richard Henry Pee:
Resolved, That the United States colonies arc
and ought to be free, and independent states, and
their political connection with Great Britain Is
and ought to be dissolved.
The resolution was indorsed by the
majority of one. Thirteen colonies were
represented. Because seven of them vot
j cd and stood for independence the Unit-
I ed States is today what she is. Subse
quent developments prove that had the
, action taken been delayed the question of
| independence might have slept in peace
until the herald of the people, no one
knows how many years after, sounded
the tocsin of revolution. The delegates
thought it wise to defer the question of
final consideration to July 1, 177(1, by
which time they believed there might be
a more unitbd feeling among the people.
I Thus it was that on June 11 that fa-
I mous committee was appointed to frame
i the Declaration of Independence. Note
I the names, and if you are a student of
i the history of the United States conceive
I if you can of a better quintet t<> have rop
j resented the American people: Benjamin
I Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Joffer
j son, Roger Sherman, Robert R. Living
ston.
The first was the man whose fame is
ticked into our ears every time we hear
a telegraph instrument, whose genius is
placed in broad light whenever we enjoy
, the illumination of electricity. The sec
| ond rose to be president of the nation he
i helped to form. The third is tlie father of
j what the world knows as Joffersonian de
mocracy. The fourth, Puritan, patriot,
leader, gave more in moral force and de-
I termination, in knowledge of the law and
its common sense principles than almost
i any man who assisted at the birth of the
i nation. The fifth was a man of whom
i the majority of people know comparative
i ly little, and yet there was none who bet-
I ter deserved a place of honor in the pub
i lie mind. Eminent as a financier, a
1 shrewd judge of human nature, his touch
1 on the helm of state was exactly what
I was needed to keep the young craft on
j her course. —Detroit Free l'ress.
Our Country** Flag.
! The idea of expressing (he union of
the different colonies by stripes in a flag
I became familiar to every one very early
I in the history of the Revolutionary war.
I and in 1775 and 1770 flags were used
I hearing 13 stripes; hut the first legally
established national emblem was that
adopted by congress June 14. 1777, which
provided thnt the flag of the 13 United
States should be 13 stripes, alternately
red and white, and the union of 13 stars,
! white in a blue field. This form was al-
J tered by act of Jan. 13, 1704, which pro
! vided that after May 1, 1705, the flag
of the United States should consist of
| 15 stripes, alternately red and white,
and 15 stars, white in a blue field. In
I 1818, however, act of April 4, the flag
: was restored to its original form of 13
' horizontal stripes, alternately red and
! while, the union to consist of 20 stars,
white in a blue field, one star to he add
ed to the union on the admission of ev
ery new state, the addition to he made
on July 4 following such admission. This
flag went into effect July 4. 1818, and is
the presort prescribed national emblem of
the United States of America.—Chicago

or trom diseases which they contract because they
are in a weak and feeble condition from bowel troubles.
Mothers who are seeking the ideal and proper medicine to give their little ones for
constipation, diarrhcea, colic and simple fevers will lind LAXAKOLA the great family
remedy.
It is the best and mo*t effective laxative for children. BEST Itecause it Is safe and
made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never
gripes or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST
because " Children lilt* it and auk/or it."
It is a dangerous thing to give little Iwibies violent remedies that rack and rend
their little bodies. DON'T DO IT-give them LAXAKOLA.
A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and will often relieve
eolie by expelling the wind and gas that cause it, and it also will check simple fevers,
break up colds and clear the coated tongue.
Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from
diarrbiea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, from the fact that LAXAKOLA
neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of fermentation, aids
digestion, relieve- rest ics-nirss. assists nature and induces sleep.

A YEAR AND A DAY
I Like a white thread carelessly caught
' ou the dark skirts of an untidy wo
' man lay the dusty road across the
I dun brown earth. One solitary trav
eler alone gave a touch of life to the
| deadly monotouy of a landscape made
up of low sky and high hills, continual
ly meeting and falling apart in endless
undulations. From the earth itself
arose the soft, shining shimmer of in
tense heat, and through it, with a sort
of automatie unconsciousness, plunged
the figure whose gun and game bag be
spoke the hunter—a hunter and a
mighty man as well, whose broad
shoulders, lithe limbs and lean, un
handsome face bore the unmistakable
stamp of breeding and refinement.
For hours this man had tramped, ut
terly lost to the discomforts of the
present, in the intense pain of vivid
retrospection, a retrospection suddenly
interrupted by a spectacle of human
misery as grewsome as it was pathetic.
Quite alone, yet within the shadow
of a hastily improvised shelter of bend
ing boughs, lay the worn and wasted
figure of a man, a man upon whose
brow lay damp and cold a ghastly dew,
whose limbs had already fallen into
the absolute immobility of coming dis
solution and whose passing life seemed
caught and focused in wide opened,
anguished eyes.
Startled out of his long day dream,
Serge Vernon knelt beside the sufferer,
pressing his brandy flask to his lips.
( "Stranger," said he, "God sent you. I
I am dying—dying with my work un-
I done. Out yonder I've n daughter look
| ing for water, a pretty girl and a good
I one, raised a lady with her mother's
people, but she left them all for me. I
didn't ask It. At flirt I even tided to
send her hack. Ranch life is hard on
some women, but she loved it—loved
everything—the dogs, the horses, the
wild, free life that was glad and beau
tiful to us both—until he came, a man,
rich, handsome and educated like her
self, a man whose speech was the
speech of her own people and who
i brought to his wooing all the subtle
arts of civilization. I never thought of
danger, never dreamed of treachery,
until the black hearted scoundrel had
gone—gone denying the private mar
riage into which lie had entrapped her
and flinging her shame in her face.
What could I do hut follow and wipe
out that shame In his heart's blood?
Murder they called It; just Judgment 1
knew It, hut for her sake guarded well
the secret that she has never guessed,
that she must never know. But trou
ble came of it and loss until now. when
I must leave my poor girl penniless and
alone In a strange land. They have of
fered a reward for the murderer—
sl,ooo for him alive or dead. The
proofs are ail here," laying a purple
hand across his laboring breast.
"Stranger, she needs it. Will you get
the money for my girl? When the end
comes, she has promised to go home.
Then find the murderer of Jim Kau
nas and send the blood money to the
woman who, before God, is his widow."
Jim Kannls! Serge Vernon lived in
that moment a year of misery—the long
year since Stella Marsden had chosen
between his love and his cousin's for
j tune, tlie cousin who cared so little for
the treasure won that he soon left it
; for a taste of pleasure and adventure
lin the new world. All that he had
found and deserved death as well. Lit
tle liking the task, Serge had crossed
the water, had learned the evil story
of a wasted life, lived under a false
name, ended in disguise and disgrace,
had offered a reward for the apprehen
sion of the murderer and had found
lilni.
There was a rustling among the wild
; rose buslu's, and, looking up. Serge
saw them part above the head of a
girl, tall, fair and like a rose herself.
: Their perfume caught In her wind
| blown liair, their bloom ou perfect lip
and cheek, lip and cheek that paled at
i sight of the dying man as, with a low
j cry, she dropped beside him.
i In the pocket of Serge's hunting shirt
j lay a letter, a sweet and gracious ap
, peal for forgiveness, written n.v nis
j cousin's widow. The letter, that inorn
! ing received, hod been less a surprise
than his own reception of the fact that
! she was no longer Inconsolable. Know
lug the heights of sacrifice to which
this guilty wayfarer had attained, see
ing his paternal passion returned with
absorbing filial affection, be realized
tbat.the English girl, willing to sell her
sordid soul for the Vernon title, was no
longer his ideal of perfect womanhood.
Suddenly, loud and clear, from the
dying lips came the eager question,
"Stranger, will you get that money for
imy girl?" Sorgo Vernon bared his
j head and lifted his hand. "As God is
! my witness," said he, *1 will."
Before Serge Vernon and his wife
were married she told him the story of
her sinless shame, but he gave her no
answering confidence. Today her fa
ther sleeps in an honored grave, ami
she In her happy English home has
i won all hearts save that of the wid
owed Lady Vernon. Serge himself dis-
I courages any Intimacy between the
two, feeling it to be unnatural and un
wise.
Whistle Ann In.
"George, George, mind; your lint will
1 be blown oft if you lean so far out of
i the window!" exclaimed a fond father
to his little son who was traveling with
him in a railway carriage. Quickly
snatching the hat from the head of the
refractory youngster, papa hid It be
j hind his back.
| "There, now, the hat has gone!" lie
! cried, pretending to be angry, and
| George Immediately set lip a liowl.
After a time the father remarked:
: "Come, be quiet. If 1 whistle your
bat will come back again."
Then be whistled and replaced the
hat oif the boy's head. "There. It's back
again, you see." Afterward, while papa
was talking to mamma, a small, shrill
voice was heard saying:
"Papa, papa, I've thrown my hat out
:of the window! Whistle again, will
'you?"
Jackie** LCRMOII,
I It was Jackie's birthday, and lie was
0 years old. In the evening his Uncle
I Fred, who was a soldier, came up into
I the nursery to play with him and Bob
ble, much to their delight.
"I mean to be a soldier one day," said
Jackie during the game.
I "Ah, my little man, you've a lot of
lessons to learn first of oil," replied
I Uncle Fred, with a smile.
! "Come, Master Jack, It's bedtime,"
said nurse.
: "I'm not coming yet, nurse," said
i .Tackle, crossly. "Can't you see I'm
busy?"
"Do you know, my boy. that the first
lesson a soldier has to learn Is to obey?"
said Uncle Fred gravely.
Jackie thought a minute, and then,
like a good little boy, lie put away his
playthings and said, "Good niglit."
