His Celebration
By JAMES HAZEN
tCopyrltfht, 1905, by R. B. MuClure.
HUGH COVINGTON sat on the
bank steps and watched the
rockets and bombs rise ubove
the trees from Powers grove
nd thought miserably of what a dif
ferent Fourth of July he had antlci
i ated.
It was to have been one of the old
ishioned Greenvale celebrations. The
re company would parade in the
.lorning, and by noon they would all
at the grove. Squire Kinsman
vould have made the opening address
nd would have Introduced Hugh as
our rising young attorney," and he
.ad liked to think how a little whisper
vould run through the crowd as 'ae
ose to read the Declaration of ui.le
;endence, for it was known tliut he
'ras soon to become the old squire's
on-ln-law, and this linking of names
n the platform would have set
ongues clacking.
Then there would have been the pic
nic dinner, the boating on the lake, the
-troll through the woods with I orothy,

little supper, and all would have
come trooping back to town to see a
few dozen pinwheels set off In front of
the fountain In Courthouse square.
Hippie had chauged all that, even
the engagement, for In the quarrel over
bis refusal to further the changed ar
rangements Dorothy had given him
back his ring, be had told her to marry
Hippie If she wanted to, and both had
been utterly miserable ever since.
Hippie Gregory Hippie had opened
a clothing store In the bank building
bout six weeks before, and already
there was talk of making him town
clerk In the fall, so popular had be be
come and so great an Interest did he
bow In local affairs.
It was ho who had ridiculed the Idea
of old fashioned Fourths. It was he
who had circulated the subscription pn
per for the fireworks, and the "Anony
mous, $100," that topped the list was
more conspicuously his than If he bad
Igned his own name.
1 The speechmaklng and the reading
of the Declaration had been set aside
as time worn. Instead there were to
be races for prizes, a greased pig and
all sorts of sports on land and lake in
the afternoon, while In the evening $ 100
worth of fireworks were to be set off
from a float anchored In the lake, nnd
b.er9 would be a concert by the cornet
band.
J seemed to Hugh an If he, of all the
town, had remained at borne. Across
the square Harvey Dwlght was mak
ing up the mall in the tiny postomYe
and Hem Vincent was waiting to take
the single bag up to the station. Of
course Turner, the station agent, was
at his post, but the rest were at the
grove and hud been most of the day.
Item Vincent came over and sat down
on the steps beside him. "(join' out to
the grove?" he asked enviously.
"Dwlght'a goln' as soon as he gets the
mall made up."
JJ'Not me," snld Hugh. "I like an old
fashioned Fourtn'-
A gleiim of hope sprang Into Vin
cent's eyes, "Say," he liegged. "Trill
you take the bag to the H'uiion? It
ain't heavy, Just a few letters, and 1

All the good stuff Is on the Boat. Tbem
rockets just tempt you out. Hippie
bet he'd have the whole town out at
the grove, and he's Uoi-e it"
"Go ahead," said Hugh. "I'll tell
Dwlght" And he watched Item make
off down the street. Somehow his
words kept ringing through his head
Why should Hippie want to get the
whole town to the grove? Was it pride
or was there some other reason?
As If In answer there came a muf
fled explosion, and the Btep on which
he was sitting shook slightly. That
must have been a big liomb. Hugh look
ed up, but the Bky at that moment was
lighted only by the stars.
Suddenly he understood. The store
was next the bank. Could the whole
celebration have been arranged to get
the people out of town so that a raid
might be made at the bank? Hippie
had announced that the best thing of
the day would be the set piece. This
was to be fired at 11 o'clock. The train
went through at 11. He hnd read of
such schemes.
There was no way of getting Into the
bank, and no watchman was employ
ed. The solitary police officer parading
the square was iBiought sufficient, and
tonight even he was out at the grove.
There was one tiny window at the
rear, and to this Hugh made bis way.
He almost betrayed himself by a cry
as he glanced in.
The vaults of the bunk were In the
cellar to save the expense of building
a pier to rulse the structure to the
street level. In the wall on the store
side was a breach, and on the floor lay
the doors to the vault, blown oil with
dynamite. Three men were working
over the contents of the safe, storing
suit cases with the spoil, and from the
leisurely fashion in which they worked
Hugh was satisfied that they Intended
to take the train.
If anything were done It must be
done without much assistance, for the
people were all out of town. Dwlght
would be of little use. He might get
help at the station. He brushed the
dirt from his knees and etrolled over
to the postofBce. Dwlght was standing
In the doorway.
"Drat that Item Vincent," he scolded.
"Seen him, Hugh?"
"Gone to the grove," explained nugh.
"I told him I'd take the bag up to the
station and see that it got on board All
right"
"Jump In, and I'll drlve'you round
that way," offered the postmaster.
Hugh shook his head.
"I want to use the phone a moment,'
he said. "You hurry up. They've been
at It almost an hour now."
Dwlght unlocked the door and Jump
ed Into the buggy. "It's a spring lock,"
he explained. "Be sure and shut It
when you're through. Glddap!" And
the buggy sped off down the road Vin
cent had taken.
Hugh called up the station and chat
ted for a moment, then he hung up the
receiver and flattened his face against
the front window.
It was uu hour before the three men
emerged from the store and carefully
locked It after them. They set out up
the street, and Hugh, shouldering the
mail bag, started after them.
They turned at the sound of steps,
but the sight of the mall bag reassured
them, and they went on. The bag was
an excuse for Hugh to take It easy, and
he kept them In sight until tliey en
tered the station. He set the mall bag
on the baggage truck and went Inside
after the men. Turner nodded to him
as he entered, and with a sigh of relief
Hugh sank Into a seat In the corner.
Presently Button, the baggagemas
ter, came In and approached Hugh.
Apparently be bad been drinking, and
they were soon In wordy warfare that
presently passed to blows. Button
jlrevj a pjjjtolj. tmd Turner came out of
his office with another" weapon. But
ton, suddenly recovering, faced the
three men with Turner and held their
hands up while Hugh bound them.
It was all over In a moment, and the
three were locked In the baggage room
while nugh and Button set off for the
grove to capture Hippie.
Hippie had promised the sensational
close of the evening for 11 o'clock and
had meant It to be a set piece showing
Squire Kinsman, as president ot the
village, surrounded by flags. The real
en nation was his own arrest and the
tale of the wrecked bank, but tojlugh
the best pari of tiie cronW was"when
Dorothy slipped her hand In his and
begged forgiveness so prettily that he
could not even make pretense of de
bate. That kiss atoned for bli not
reading the Declaration, nis celebra
tion came last, but It was by far the
more sensational and satisfactory.
THE AMERICA REPUBLIC.
A Fourth of Jul Oration br Senator
Jonathan P. Dolllver.
The truth Is that the great and admi
rable epochs In the history of the Unit
ed Stutes are not to be found in the re
mote past. They are In the present
Just behiud us and all around us. It Is
an Inexcusable disparagement of our
own times to attribute to other genera
tions what does not licloug to them
and to take away from our own Its
Just claim upon the confidence and
gratitude of mankind.
The history of a nation Is only a
statement of Its preparation for Its
part In tha progress of the world, and.
while the revolutionary era must al
ways be cherished and the men and
women who wrought Its great achieve
ments commemorated with honor and
applause. It ought not to be forgotten
that their work required Infinite sacri
fices before It grew luto iiermsnent
atreugtb and became a part of the
fixed order of things, a permanent fac
tor In the course of human events.
Our fathers began the work of build
ing the American republic; they left It

Maklngj Bread With Sea Wat
At one time sea water was used in
some English seaside places when mak
ing bread. Even now villages along the
coast line of France utilize It Fre !i
rain or spring water is only used for
the leaven, pure sea water Leing exclu
sively employed for the making and
mixing of the dough. By this method
no mineral or table salt requires to be
added, the natural salt water giving
the bread the necessary degree of sa
linity. But, though sea water does ad
mirably for breadmaklug, when ap
plied to other culinary purposes the
result Is a disagreeable failure. The
wheaten bread produced by it how
ever, Is excellent and of great hygiealc
value. The chloride of magnesium,
which Imparts the acrid taste to sea
water, Is decomposed hi the heating
and therefore does not convey Its origi
nal disagreeable taste to the bread,
while the common salt, of course, per
manently retains all Its characteristic
saline properties. The mineral sub
stances left in the baked bread are con
sidered to be of the nature of very mild
regulating medicines. London Mail.
The Tailor Bird.
The brilliantly plumed birds of the
tropical forests are exposed to many
dangers, and if they were not gifted
with peculiar yet useful instincts tbey
would fall ready victims to their ene
mies. Chattering monkeys and big
snakes steal and eat their eggs, while
their offspring are preyed upon by foes
on every side. But it takes a sly mon
key or snake to get ahead of the tailor
bird, a small East Indian singing bird.
She hides her nest so skillfully that her
enemies cannot find it, no matter bow
hnrd they try. This she does by using
her long, Blender bill as a needle. With
the tough fiber of a parasitic plant
abundant in the tropics, as a thread
she sews a dead leaf taken from the
end of a slender and hanging branch,
and between these leaves she builds
her nests, where neither monkey nor
snake can approach, because the
branch will not bear Its weight
A Miniature Inland Ocean,
One of the queerest sheets of water
In New England or within the limits of
the United States, or the world for
that matter, Is the celebrated "Snow's
ocean" In the state of Maine. When
calm It Is to all appearances an ordinary
pond of no great dimensions, but ob
servations and investigations mnde
more than a century ago prove that the
little body of water Is a veritable
ocean. It Is located In Orrington, near
Bangor, and Its peculiarity is that, al
though situated among some high bills
some distance from ocean or river, it
has tides which rise and fall as regular
ly as do those of the great Atlantic.
Many so called scientific examinations
of this miniature ocean's bed and sur
rounding bunks have been made, but
so far no tenable explanation of the
phenomenon has ever been given to the
public.

THE TIDY TADPOLE,
Bow Thla Cheerful Little Cannibal
Eata and Developa.
A wonderful spirit of tidiness seems
to pervade the tadpole world. They
always eat whatever has become use
lesstheir own eggs, their superfluous
companions. Even those who are only
weakly are cleared out of the way and
the victims take it all as a matter of
course. I have disturbed a strong
member of the community Just as he
had begun to dine off the tail of a
weaker brother, but the sufferer has
not troubled to escape he simply wait
ed till the fratricide returned to com
plete his deadly work.
For some time there is no grave
change In the tadpoles. They simply
grow and become so far transparent
that their internal mechanism, which
consists of one coil of Intestines, Is
plainly visible. When, however, they
are about three months old a careful
observer can distinguish a tiny foot
on either side of the base of the tail
These grow slowly, but seem unable
to move Independently until shortly
before the border land is passed which
leads to perfect froghood. The hind
legs have reached their full size before
the front ones appear, and, while the
feet grow slowly, the hands are ready
made and can be used at once. For a
day or two they can be seen under the
skin before they venture forth, and
tneir possessor is very restless anu e.v
cited. He rushes madly about, jost
ling his comrades, and no doubt being
voted a bore; then a more vigorous ef
fort breaks the skin and the tiny hand
and arm appear.
There seems some rule about the
order of precedence here, as there
when the whiskers go, for last year my
tadpoles, almost without exception,
had their rifiht hands some hours be
fore the left, while on previous occa
sions I have had an entirely left
handed crew. Chambers' Journal.
MUSIC AT SEA.
Condltlona tinier Wlilc-h Ships' galla
Sometlmea Bluff.
Some curious facts have been noted
with regard to the sound conducting
qualities of ships' sails. When ren
dered concave by a gentle breeze, the
widespread sails of a ship are said to
be excellent conductors of sound.
A ship was once sailing along the
coast of Brazil, far out of sight of
land. Suddenly several of the crew,
while walking along the deck, noticed
that when passing and repassing a
particular spot they always heard with
great distinctness the sound of bells
chiming sweet music, as though being
rung but a short distance away.
Dumfounded by this phenomenon,
they quickly communicated the discov
ery to their shipmates, but none of
them was able to solve the enigma as
to the origin of these seemingly mys
terious sounds which came to them
across the water.
Months afterward, upon returning to
Brazil, the crew determined to satisfy
their curiosity. Accordingly they men
tioned the circumstance to their
friends and were Informed that at the
time when the sounds were heard the
bells in the cathedral of San Salvador,
on the coast, had been ringing to cel
ebrate a feast held in honor of one of
the saints.
Tbelr sound, wonderful to relate, fa
vored by n gentle, steady breeze, had
traveled a distance of upward of 100
miles over the smooth water and had
been brought to a focus by the sails at
the particular locality in which the
sweet sounds were first beard.
This Is but oue of several Instances
of a similar kind, trustworthy authori
ties claiming that this same music Is
often heard under somewhat the same
circumstances and especially In a mois
ture laden atmosphere. London Tit
