When Lack of Powder
Almost Lost Us July 4
l it Revolution, whose commence­
ment we celebrate on July 4,
began and almost prematurely
I onilcd In u struggle for ]s»w«ier. Then*
' was not in the United States nt that
■ time a |x»w<ler mill which supplied
more than purely local necessities, and.
so fur as known, there was but one
small manufactory of muskets. Unless
the colonists coubl obtain |s»w<ler anil
shot rosistance was obviously out of
th«* question.
Two days after Lexington the Mas­
sachusetts committee of safety made
an accurate estimate of the existing
supplies In New England for its
hastily Improvise«! army, and It re­
vealed twelve fleldpieces, 21,000 tire
arms, 17,(MSI ; m > uih 1 s of powder and 22,-
<n»> |s>uu<ls of hall. Obviously n pound
of powder per soldier could not last
very long, and we are not surprised to
learn that a few months later Wash­
ington bad kegs of sand, labeled “Pow­
der," roll«! into camp iu order to de­
lude bls soldiers into the apparent se­
curity that there was plenty of am­
munition. On the morning of Bunker
Hill each man of Colonel Stark's brig
H«le, acconllng to a e»»ntemp«»rary re'-
ord, race!veil only “a gill cupful of
IHtwder, fifteen balls and one flint." It
was the failure of ammunition, it will
be remembered, that compelled the
colonists to retire from that glorious
defeat.
By August, 1775, powder was almost
gone. Washington wrote that the situ­
ation was “terrible” and he ha«l left
only thirty-two barrels of powder for
his army. Th«* poverty of powder was
so evident that General Charles Ix*e
suggested to Franklin that pikes should
lx* manufactured, and Franklin even
gravely urged the use of bows ami
arrows.

"Fourth of July’’ In March.
Fireworks on Imlepemlem-e «lay arc
denltsl the children uiid grown folks
of Alaska for tin* simple reason that
the July nights are almost ns light as
th«* «lays, and it does not pay to at-
tempt pyrotechnic displays If there is
no darkness to show them off by con-
trust. Consequently it Ims become the
custom in many Alaskan cities, in
eluding Falrlmnks. to hold a Fourth
of July celebration <>n March 4 when
th«' nights are still very long. Then
there Is abundant opportunity for dis
playing fireworks of every variety.
World’s Biggest Bird.
And July 4 Is His Day
HE biggest bird in all the world
is the great American eagle,
with one claw resting on the
highest peak of the Alleghenies ami
the other on the Rocky mountains,
with one wing touching Port«» Rico,
the other fanning tli«> distant rhilip
pines.
His lieak reaches the Canadian bor­
der. and hl. tail dips Into th«* gulf of
Mexico. Anti his voice, the thunder
tones of till, inlgbty bird. echoes from
South America to Canada—aye, and far
l»eyond, over unto the uttermost cor­
ners of the earth, is the Rcream of the
American eagle heard and heeded
Thu. at all times. Rut there Is one
day In every year when Its triumphant
tone, sound the loudest, the moat Joy­
ous. the world over.
That Is on the glorious Fourth of
July, the nation's proud birthday. It
Is then that the small boy and the big
boy bum powder as incense to the
memory of our gallant forefathers who
drove the British from our shores an«l
with their heart's bl«»od upheld their
noble Declaration of Independence for
all time to come.—nelen Harvotlrt In

that congress

resistless wave, The die was cast, and
every man was now compelled to meet

the issue. The resolution was finally
deferre«l till July 1 to allow a « onimit-
tee appointed for that purpose to draft
a Declaration of Independence.
When the day arrived the I»e« lara-
tion wa. taken up and delsited article
by article. The discussion continued
for three days
and was charac­
terized by great
excitement.
At
length the va­

next day, July 4,
was ap|»ointed
for action.
It

moving toward

gotten in the momentous crisis which
the country bad now rew-hed. No
soner liad the members taken their
seats than the multitude gathered in
a dense mass around the entrance.
The bellman mounted to the belfry to
be ready to proclaim the joyful tidings
of freedom as soon as the dual vote
was passed. A bright eyed boy was
stationed below
to give the sig­
nal. Around the
bell

motto; “Pro­

It was expect­
ed that the final vote would be taken
without delay; but hour after hour
wore on and no report came. The mul­
titude grew Impatient. The old man
leaned over the railing, straining hi.«
eye downward till his heart misgave
him and hope yielded to fear. But at
length, about 2 o'clock, th«* door of the
hall opened anil a voice exclaimed. “It
ha. passed!” The word leaped like
lightning from lip to lip. followed by
bunas that shook the building. Th«'
boy sentinel turned to the belfry,
clapped bls hands and shouted, "Ring!

seized the Iron tongue and hurled it
