0METIMI3S it Is rath
er difficult to know
what sort of an enter
tainment to provide
for a Fourth of July
party, liere are buiuo
~sTh*KQstloua which
hoys and girls who
are to have Fourth of
July parties may flpd
useiui. me game described here will
take up a large part of the afternoon:
Characters.
Uncle Sam, the nag, cannon, fire
cracker, slzzer, pin wheel, roman can
dle, sky rocket and the band?whis
tle, drum, jewsharp, trumpet.
.. This game can bo played as an Im
promptu affair, somewhat after the
? r fashion of the old game of "S^age
Coach," or It can be made more elab
?orate with a little preparation by dis
trlbutlng flags to the players so
named, giving the band tho desig
nated Instruments and having Undo
8am as story teller in the well known
^ Uncle Sam costume.
It can be accommodated to a largo
ftnrober of players by giving the same
name to several, as, for instance, half
the girls can bo "flags," the remain
der "pin wheels."
Uncle Sam takes the centre of the
apace, arranging tho players in a
?*?mi-eircle in front of hiui. Ho savs:
? "Waal, waal; all these patriotic
boys and girls come to celobrato the
\ "glorious Fourth! And you guess your
Uncle Sam can give you some points?
To be sure.
"Now- supposing we form a trust.
Everybody who wants to be in tho
trust get up and shout." (All do so.)
. "That's up to date, Isn't it? You'll
be a trust working hard for the
glory of the U. S.?which you know
means both t'ncle Sain and the Uni
ted States. Every one of you must
do his best to hold his head up or tho
trast will be ruined. WTie'n I tell you
to do anything Jump quick, but take
tlaae to act your part.
"Now to begin. Here, sonny, you

play. ' i
"Tho girls?bless their rosy cheeks
and smiling lips?can be (lags when
flags are needed and pin wheels.when
pin wheals are to bo set off. You
know, girls, how gracefully tho flag
moves to the top of the pole and its
pretty flutterings at the head of a
procession."
v Uncle Sam, having given manes to
alf the players, proceeds to explain.
"Now, young Americans, I will tell
you a story that will bring in all your
names. When yours is mentioned
jump tip and act just as if you were
whatever you are named. If.any one
forgets to respond to his name I'll
send an officer of the government af
ter him. Johnny, get a pad and pen
cil. I'll make you United States Sher
iff. Take down the names of the
slowpokes, and after tho game they
will bo tried by a jury of friends and
neighbors and expelled frgm our I
trust as American citizens."
Uncle Sam seats himself and be
gins his story.
"Waal, I'll tell you about myself
when I was a youngster.
"Ever since 1 was a very small boy
I've been wakened early on my birth
day by a great noise of cannon firing.
(Ha! Ha! Mr. Cannon. Forgot your
name. Put him down for trial, Mr.
Sheriff.)
"We'll begin again?burst of can
non. That's all right, that's a line
noise. Running to the window 1
could hear drums, whistles, trumpets.
The mouth organ would play 'Yankee
Doodle' and the other instruments
keep time." (U. S. is silent while
the band performs. When it sub
sides he continues.)
"After that and the chores dono
up tho boys would go to the village
green to see the flag raised. (Girls
rise and imitate flag moving to top
of pole,) When It reached the top
and waved gracefully on the l>reezo
(girls indicate motion) what hurrahs
burst from all.
"All tho afternoon the small can
non were shot off to frighten the pass
ers by; as long as the punk lasted
more firecrackers and lots of slzzers.'
When the darkness of evening came |
we were wild with excitement. The
fireworks were waiting to be set off.
Who would get a chance to hold
sonic? Firecrackers, of course, be
gan the fun. After a barrel or so
had snapped it was dark er.ougl for
pin wheels with beuulifttl whirling
and sputtoring sparks (girid? rise und
turn slowly, waving hands aSid arms
in circles and imitating sou ad of pin
wheels).
""V-After the candles came the
sls-s-^Mi of the sky rock tts, and its
long traln^lX^tfparks reaching up, up,
Into tho sky. When all the varieties
had been'seen wo were too^erazy to
keep still, so every kind was exploded
at onca. Tho hmyj played, played,
played. Everybody' Jumped up and
got in line and marched around. ThQ
flags waved and the air was filled
with cheer*. We did not go home
until we were too tired to take an
other step. \ And so the glorious
Fourth end

One tery good featuro of this gams
Is that-It provides a really exciting
and- appropriate game for a rainy
Fourth of July. You know, sad
thongh It Csems, that there are rainy
foirthi aomtinw Than one has
T ; ; "
Kir i ? .
to give up nil thoso lovely tlroworks "
and crackers ami go indoors. Uncle
Sum's gamu is h very good substitute
under such conditions*' for the real
firework fun.
For a Fourth of July party it is
necessary of course to have tho table !
decorations in red, white and blue.
Ope of tho nicest things you can have i
for the centre of tho table is an Unclo |
Barn's basket tlll??<l with red, white !
and blue tissue paper carnations, or |
chrysanthemums. Indian pinks are
really better than either of those, be
cause the Indian pinks come in n-d,
white and blue in their natural state,
while nobody ever heard of )>lu?'
carnations or chrysanthemum^ So it
is best to nmke your flowers Took as
much like Indian pinks as possible.
The flowers made of tissue paper
have fringed petals and long wire
stems wound with tho paper. On t he
end of each stem Is fastened a Utile
package done up in tissue paper. This
is a little gift. It may be any little
thing that you can llnd In tlic toy
Stores. Flag stickpins, little mirrors,
pencil cases, gilt eagles or any small
gift is suitable. There should be as
many different things as can be se
cured, as that adds to the fun. It Is
nice to have something different for
each guest. The flowers are then all
stuckJn the basket upright. Hut In
order to make them stand up until
It comes time# to distribute them, It
is necessary to have them packed
very tight. So there must be plenty
of flowers. If the party Is not a very
largfe one they need not all have Klfts
attached to them. When refresh
ments are being passed around at the
party tho Uncle Sum's basket Is also
passed.
"Have a flower from Uncle Sam's
basket," the hostess*says. Then every
boy and girl picks a flower out of
tho basket. The packages tire of
course immediately opened and the
little gift Is found.

FOUfOH OF JULY IN THE PHILIP.
PINES.
On tlie Fourth of July the Filipino a
"outyankees" the mdfct patriotic Van-?
kee that over lived, lie lias 'uketi the
day to his honrt, and Is as joyous over
It as a lioy over Ills Urst firecracker; !

the event In American history, ho Ik
perfectly dear on the subject of flags,
and he is perfectly aware of the Rood
times possible on this day. In M^nniln
all the business houses are draped with
starry bunting, and the ancient palaces
are bright with the Stars and Stripes,
ijfml oven the boats in the harbor are
decked with "Oh! <!lory." Towering
arches, generally of bamboo, are erec
ted In the streets ami strung with flans
and portraits of our national heroes.
In the summer Philippine towns, where
Hates cannot be had, these arches are
often made of cotton cloth and decora
tod with wreaths and suitable Inscrip
tions.
The Filipinos have also adopted n
great many of the amusements thai
used to mark the Fourth In our old
New Filmland towns. Climbing ?
greased polo in the public square Is
almost always a feat lire of Indepen
dence Day in Manila. And besides
these, there are various athletic Raines
instituted by our soldiers, and usually
part let pa ted in by the younger Span
iards and natives. The evening of the
Fourth always sees a band-concert on
the T.uneta. ami the day ends as with

Wars and Rumors of Wars Abroad;
Peace and Plenty in This Land of Uurs
Death of the Japanese
War Scare Announced.
Washington, I). C.? Despite the at
lemirts of a few pnoplo to keop lifo
in tho Japanese war scare, it Is dead.
In fact, it novor was very much alive,
lieyoiul furnishing employ ment. to
space writers and acting as a political
issue with wh'ch to embarrass the
Ministry in Japan, It. seems to have
had no reason for being on earth at
all. Now it fails to serve ?*ven these
poor purposes and so is allowed to
disappear.
The im re fact that San Francleco
asserted her undoubted right to reg
ulate her own school affairs could not
by the wildest stretch of imagination
furnish a casus belli?except for tho
newspaper and political purposes
aforesaid. Neithcl^.ould the irre
sponsible acts of a ffcw hoodlums who
made more or less nostllo demonstra
tions against Asiatics?Chinese and
Japanese alike?as thc> have done
for years. Trivialities of this sort
are matters for the police, not for
war alarums. And It was thus that
they were regarded by all sensible
people, both In America and Japan.
The annual spring war scare hav
ing been overworked In Europe, It
necessarily shifted to tho Pacific.
l/There is not how, and never has
bfcbn, any serious danger o? war be
(Veeu Amer^ii and Japan.
Ch inesy Rebels
Slay Officials.
Victoria, IJ. C.?Further nd vices
regarding tho rebellion in South
China received by the steamer Mont
eagle, state that Sun Yat Sen. who
for years has been organizing an anti
dynastic. movement In China, left
Toklo for a few weeks before :.ie out
break, and Is reported lending the
revolutionists near Hwatow, having
taken the Held May 22 and opened
operations by attacking the walled
city of Kwang Kong, which was eas
ily captured and all officials were
killed. Kaoping and Lin Chlng suf
fered similar fates. The'government
troops on tho Island of Manwo were
?ttacked on May 2 7 and defoated. the
revolutionists then marching upon
Cha Chow, which also fell Into their
hands, and all of the officials were
promptly killed. Thousands of ref
UlfOOil flarl tuh/^wA
warships assembled to protect the
city.
The Jlji Sliimpo, which prints dis
patches from its own correspondent
regarding the rebellion, states that
with tho well equipped aud amply
armed troops of inodorn China the
revolution must be crushed.
Guatemala Arms
Against Zelaya's Invasion.
Guatemala City.?Guatemala !s
arming against the apprehended
Nicaragua!) attack by land and sea
and heavy guns are being planted at
the seaports of San .lose, Champerlco
and Puerto Barrios. Troops are
ready to repel an attack from tho
Itonduran frontier, where President
Zelaya has massed battalions.
Some of the official papers bitterly
attack President Zelaya's bad faith,
declaring that after agreeing a few
weeks ago at Amapala to submit to
the Unltcilnftlates any difference with
Salvador, now openly assists tho Sal
vador insurgents and menaces Guate
mala.
President Zelaya's campaign
against Guatemala will fall, but
these continual attacks and menaces
cause a heavy expense to tho Guate
malan Government and visit herd
ships on a community whor.e business
is paralyzed. Zelaya keeps the whole
of Central America In a fermenl.

toward Guatemala encourages him

Tokio, Japan.?There are strong
indications that Ambassador Aokl
will be recalled.
There Is nil Inclination to connect
tho rumyr of hLs reported coming re

with tho Mikado after the Cabinet

Japanese have organized drives with
a daily extended line, gradually forc
ing back tho natives, who hold three
fifths of Formosa and numbe- 100,

fare, In which numerous camphor
workers were killed, tho Japanese
troops were systematically driving
tho nntives Into submission. The pro
gram Is that oa< h advance is made
permanent by the construction of
roads, etc. To date 137S .square

Russia Faces Revolution.
St. Petersburg, Russia.?It 1b

asked the Minister of War to replace
