Illustrated Patriotic Jingle Fi INGLOT kOWN in the vil lage there were goinr. to be great do ings on the Fourth of July, and the chil dren of High Ridge Farm were wishing that they might go to see the fun. There were three of them -Sadie and bessie and Joe; and Joe, being the only Boy in the family, had an idea that he ought to be allowed a little more freedom than his sisters. They were only girls, anyway, he argued, and girls had no business in a crowd, especially when there were bombs and cannon to be let off; but a boy-well, a boy could go anywhere and be safe. But Mr. Dayton, Joe's father, evi dently held a different opinion, for he said, very decidedly, that Joe could not take part in the village celebra tion. "Best place for boys is home," he added, as he went out to the Held with his men. And Joe knew that ar gument was worse than useless. But in his way Joe was just as de termined as his father, and if he couldn't go to the village he said to himself, he would have a little cele bration of his own at home. He had some pocket money hidden away in a little old trunk up in the garret, and with that he would buy all the fire crackers he wanted. He would find a secluded place, far enough from the house to insure himself against de tection, and there he would let them off. It did not occur to him then that he would have rather a lonesome time of it letting off his firecrackers by himself; but a few days later, when the Elton boys and Jack Hardy came Into the store where he was buying nisi firecrackers to make their own purchases, his secret became all at once too good to keep. The result was that the other boys agreed to join- forces with him, and it was ar ranged between them that they would have what they called a "bang-up good time" all together. The place decided upon was a strip of uncultivated ground on the out AN ANNUAL EVENT. Great Fourth of July Bonfire on Gal lows Hill, Salem, Mass.-A Pile of Fuel Eighty Feet High. -Mary II. Northern!.

There were no dwellings near save a small cottage which had once heen occupied by an old negro farm hand, and was now used as a sort of shelter and storehouse by the men working on the new railroad close by. The men would all be away on the Fourth, the boys agreed among themselves, and anyway they wouldn't be likely to mind a bit ot' noise. It seemed a little strange to Sadie when, on the afternoon of the Fourth, Joe suddenly and mysteriously disap peared. She was worried about it, too, for she suspected that there was some mischief afoot. She knew Joe LEXINGTC "If Tlicy Want War, Illustration From Thomas Wentworth Hig| of thc United States j better than any one else did, and she had felt sure for some days past that he had some secret plan in his mind. Suddenly tho distant sound of ex ploding crackers was borne upon the wind to her listening ears. "Sounds as if it were out by Uncle i Josh's cabin," Mr. Dayton said, glane-1 ing up uneasily irom his paper. "Where's Joe? 1 hope he isn't up | there. I heard the contractor say the other day he expected to store some dynamite there, ready for the blasting. I guess I'll go and have a look around." But Sadie was already out of hear ing, with little Bessie flying at her heels. If she could only get there in time to warn the boys! That was her only thought. She never for an in stant doubted that Joe was among them. Fear lent wings to the children's feet, and, taking a short cut across ATTIE MINUTEMEN the fields, they were not long In reaching the scene of action. A pungent smell of smoke filled the air, and as the two girls came in sight of the cottage the first glance told them that it was on fire. "Stay here, Bessie," commanded Sadie; "don't go one step frrther!" Then, quickly skirting the small gar den plot, she tore around to the back, just in time to see the terrified boys making off as fast as their legs would carry them. Then, before she could turn around, she felt herself being lifted off her feet and carried rapidly away, and a minute afterward there was a tremendous roar, a great sheet of flame shot up into the air, the THE OLD BELFRY AT LEXINGTON. earth seemed to reel and shake, and then everything grew suddenly and strangely black. When Sadie came to herself she was lying in her own room, with father and mother bending anxiously over her and Dr. Buxton sitting by her bedside with his finger on her pulse. "Why, I'm all right," she said, in a surprised tone. "What has hap pened?" "It's lucky you are all right, young lady," the doctor said, with a relieved smile. "You had a narrow squeak, I can tell you. It was a mighty for tunate thing that the Italian left in charge of the supply store had the courage and presence of mind to pick , you up and run." i "Where are Bessie and Joe?" Sadie ' asked, springing up with terror in her I heart. "Safe, dear, both of them," said mother, soothingly. "Nobody hurt at all-thank good ness," the doctor put in, "though why you weren't all blown to smithereens . I'm sure I don't know. Now, keep quiet awhile, young lady," he added, as he turned to go, "and tho next time there's a dynamite explosion on the schedule make a point of keeping out of the way."

Long before Sadie recovered from the illness that followed the shock her brother had bitterly re pented of the deceit that had brought it about, and had resolved that, come what might, he would always be "square and above-board" in the fu ture.

For those who object to wire net ting in the windows a new idea has been found to prevent flies and such annoying pests from entering the house. This new preventative ls a window box of mignonette. It seems that the insects do not care to face the odor of this charming flower, so that it is an effectual barrier against their invasion.

A frcuse that lacks tht great con venience, a butler's pantry connecting with the dining room, may find a very convenient substitute for one in a tall screen placed near the kitchen door. If of strong material the screen may have a shelf fastened to the inner side on which may be placed the des sert and fruit pl?teB until ready for use. A small table behind the Bereen may hold other necessary articles, like a pan of hot water and towels to supply clean forks and spoons to the table, or to hold delicate tableware that cannot safely be washed in the kitchen. Such a pantry may easily be constructed by the house carpenter. A well made pair of clothes frames, covered with marbleized oilcloth on one side and Canton flannel or cre tonne on the side to be exposed to the room, could be used for a screen. Boston Post.

Our English literature entitles us to claim as ono of our national assets a keen sense of humor, that homely genial quality which ls to wit as the fire by which we warm ourselves is to the flash of the searchlight.
