CEAN MEHEDITII had always
lived in a large city. She was a
nutriotic lassie, aud every year on
the Fourth of July she used to decorate
the house with flaBS. play "Yankee Doo
llo" nd all manner of patriotic tunes
oa the old piano, and then, drewted in
patriotic color, with a Bug lu ner nai.
,, ninne.1 to her dress and one in her
hand, go to some of the several celebra
tions of the day.
Thia vear Ocean was away from the
city, in a little town where it was Quiet
er at noon that it used to le at muinigut
in her city home. Ocean rather liked it.
She thought thnt when the pfocession
went by on the Fourth of July she could
see the whole of it, and not be crowded
by so many hurrying people.
As Ocean became acquainted with the
boys aud girls in the little town she ask
ed them what they did on the Fourth:
but they were shy of the city girl, and
she could not find out much about it
The day before the holiday Ocean was
very busy ail day.
"What are you up to, lasaier asteu
ber mother.
I'm getting all ready for to-morrow,
mother."
It will not be the same here, dear.
that it wss at home."
"But we're Americans, aren't we.
mother? They'll celebrate, won't they?"
"1 suppose they will, child.
Ocean's home was on the 'principal
street of the sleepy little town. When
the people woke up on the morning of
the Fourth, what should they see but
Bags waving from the four front windows
of the Merediths' little cottage, the posts
of the porch twiued with bunting, aud
the red, white and blue wound about the
trunks of the trees just within the pal
ing fence. Before the morning dew was
off the graKi, there on the porch was
Ocean herself, a sweet little vision iu
white, with red and blue ribbons In her
hair and around her waist, and wee Bags
Joating from either shoulder. Some pass
ing children stared at ber and at the
house. She ran out to the gate several
times, and peered eagerly up and down
the street. There was not a flag in fight,
nor a sound of fife aud drum. Then
Ocean found ber way tearfully to her
busy mother's side.
'Don't you think, mother, if their
grandfathers bad been soldiers, and their
brothers had belonged to the Volunteers,
they'd celebrate?"
"I think they would. Ocean, dear."
"Mother, may I celebrate?"
Ocean's bmother always let ber little
girl do anything that was right, so she
said "Yes," and thought no more about
it. In half an hour there stood before
her a little soldier lassie, with , a cap
perched on her curls and a drum slung
over her shoulders. "I'm going to cele
brate, mother; I just can't stand It!"
All right, sweetheart. Have as good
a time as you can. Perhaps, we can have
a little picnic In the woods this afternoon."
The people of the town beard the
sound of a drum, aud peered out their
doors. There, marching all alone through
the dusty street, beating her drum as her
brother had taught ber, and singing
"Kally 'Itouud the Flag, Boys," was a
tittle girl in white.
"For gracious sake!" cried Tom Peter
son, an old member of the Grand Army,
coming out of his house to see. "What
are you doing, little one?"
Ocean saluted gravely. "I'm celebrat
ing. Don't you know about the Fourth
here? My grandfather was a soldier.
My brother is one, too. I was watching
for the procession, but It rjidn t come.
"So you thought you d celebrate?
Well, I vow. See here, wife!"
Ocean waited while a woman in a
unbound came out Then the man weut
Into the house and came back wltb an
old fife and a tuttered flag.
"I reckon your grandfather and me
were comrades, little one. Suppose we
go see your mother a bit Then we'll
Celebrate some more."
Ocean's heart beat high as she walked
by the old soldier's side back to ber
mothers gate.
"If you will let us nave your little girl
for a wkhilc, uia'aiu, we'll take care of
her. Actually we've forgotten how to be
patriotic in this town. There Isn't a flag
lu town besiijes yours. s a suame.
The next thing Ocean knew she was
seated in state in a tiuy bit of a carriage
drawn by two ponies. In this, with ber
new friend beside ber, she was taken
from house to house. She hardly under
stood what was going on, but in a few
hours her carriage, decorated with flags,
led a good-sized procession of men and
boys. There were nine old soldiers and
their flags, fifes and drums. They were
Ocean's bodyguard. The procession
marched up and down the quiet streets,
singing, drumming, cheering. People got
out old flags and streamers. It was a
splendid Fourth of Jply.
When the parade was hot and tired
ind thirsty, they stopped at Ocean's
door, and there stood her mother with
great pails of lemonade and a heaping

Why We Celebrate
c
OME her, son. Let's talk.
You smell of powder and burning punk. That rug on your linger
hides a burn. It Is oiislble you will set tire to the house hofore the
d.iv Is .lone. The one thing that sceins good to you Is noise NOISE
In big letters, Willi mi exploslou every second and Joyous whoops iu between.
lo you know wtmt It la all aoout j
Io "you know w hy thotismids of tons of gunpowder are burned! W hy
S0OO.0OO of people tiike a holiday? Why flags are flying, bauds play "The
Star Spangled Runner." and from the Florida Keys to the coast of Maine the
folks feel a splendid burst of patriotism, and are glad that they belong to thia
beautiful country?
You don't Just understand, and you are not to blame. We have a few
men In the country who couldn't tell the Presidents mime, and other men
who have boon so busy making money that they have forgotten the birth of
freedom and the dt votion. btroism and self sucntice thnt made it posslblo
for tho United States to become the Brat natlou In the world.
Your grt-nt gr.inddaddy was a lad Hko jou w hen tho people decided to
be free. They were governed by a king. He ruled a country be had never
seen. He was not a good king. He oppressed the people. He would not
read their petitions for Justice. The Americans were no more to bltn than
cattle. He was rich and big and powerful. He claimed, us kings do, that
hla right to rule came from God.
There were no millionaires In the Vnited States then. Nearly everybody
was poor and had to work. Very often ninny of them were hungry. Some
time they were shot down by Indiana while tilling their Holds. Life in the
country wns hard, and cities were few and far between. The people didn't
cure about hardships. They were willing to go hungry, wear homespun
aud go without hundreds of things Uiut we think we must have, but they
would not be slaves.
They wanted to be free; to govern themselves; to make their own laws.
They thought about It, they prayed about It, aud one day tiiey defied the
king.
Then ciune war and suffering. It would nutke yon cry to even think
about It There wasn't much money, powder, medicine, clothing. There was
a world of courage. History has never known braver men tlian tlnwe Con
tinental soldiers, who loved George Washington ns you love your father, aud
left bloody footprints as they marched.
Sometimes they won buttles; sometime they lost them. Mother
mourned for dend husbands and sons. There were graves everywhere. There
were traitors, too; and It took stout heart to keep on lighting, w hen the
odds were so great "IJberty or death" wns the cry. They meant It. They
reully were willing to die for their country. They were unselfish. They wore
nigs. They fought for love. They saw their homes burned and their o
session destroyed. And yet In the breasts of these meu wns a fire that
couldn't be quenched. They fought with scythe and club and axes, as
well as. guns. When there were no cannon balls they shot stone, nd they
did not think that their homes, then: money, theJr puHaessloii, leg, arm,
even their lives were too big a price to pay for liberty.
One day It w-as all over, because right wns stronger than wrong. A
nation was bleeding from a thousand wounds, but It was free.
The people were no longer slave of au unjust king, nnd America wa
what God Intended men should make It the hind of the free, the homo of
the brave.
Aud that, son. Is why we celebrate Independence Dny, It I to mark
the birth of liberty, to arouse love for the finest ring that wn ever lifted by a
breeze, to make you and million more care more for your country; to make
you remember the grandness of the men who died that you, too, might bo
free and share In the glories of a republic.
When yon and tho other million of boy who are shooting firecrackers
grow up to be men, pray that you will not forget; that you will be as true and
loyal and bravo and as unselfish as was that grand race of oaks that burst
the shackle forged by a king over a century ago.
Get your urecrackere! Start the plnwhcels, shout a loud a you can.
Let' celebrate bard, and when the smell of gunpowder Is In the air, ami
fiery stars are gleaming, and the boom of cannon almost drown the music
of the band, we'll salute the Aug that we love that George Washington
loved been use of the things that happened when your great granddiiddy was
