SHORTY'S How a Street Urchin in a Great City Observed National Holiday. As the early morning sun ca.t lengthy shadow over the narrow street of N'ew York city, the ear piercing shrieks of whistles, the irritable, popping of small crackers, the banging of red heads and the heavier detonation of bamba conveyed the joyous tiding that an other birthday of the world's greatest Nation was at hand.Flags flapped gaily from poh upon the top of cloud-ea- reseing edifices and were flung from: - 1 almost every doorway. The somber facade of the building were hidden beneath goodly folds of bright-faued buntings, the shade Americans know so well, red, white and blue. The whole atmosphere was festal. The first cars that moaned along Broad way bore happy crowds, eager, to wit ness the great parade scheduled to start grouped to thick "Shorty" could turn expectancy. The proud parent, hold ing his offspring in a place of safety, rode with part of a foot upon the car- step and banging to the bars with one hand. He was content-not a word of protest emanated from hi lips, relative to the Inadequacy of transportation facilities iko, women and children poured into the streets. Gradually the sidewalks filled; finally they became congested and were impassable. The younger generation sought the curbs. Here, in unholy joy, the boys and girls popped their toy pistols, their cannon or their crackers. F-ach explosion was the sig-' nal for a lusty yell from the throat of a thousand young Americans. Through good and wholesome teaching the achievements of Washington, of Layfayettc or of the "Minute Men" had been drilled into their young mind Anions tbeae little people were promul gated the virtue of the Monroe Doc trine and the importance of the Fourth of July. Aside from the infinite joy they experienced in making so much noise, the sentiment of patriotism was easily noticeable. Those of mature year smiled indulgently as they mean dered, a best they could, along the sidewalk. Old men slapped each other on the back good naturedly or poked each other' rib and whispered "remember when we were that age?" And far above the din of the streets arose the deafening boom of the cannon which announced that the parade had commenced. The curbing became the vantage point immediately and to this, flocked the merry throng. Entirely swallowed by this rollicking' multitude .... it . was a diminutive specimen 01 me American boy. He was not of the class whose mother delight in adjusting fan cy togs, in polishing shoes or in scrub bing strenuously, to remove a stray bit of dirt from a youthful cheek, or from within the folds of an ear. He was typically a son of the streets, one ot those poor little fellows, who, through TOKEB Keeps 1 Dressy Shop for Dressy PICTURE YOURSELF in a nice, fresh, snappy look ing suit made of fancy wor sted, cassimere, or a home spun at a price, say between $V2&) and $17.50, picked j from a stock so big, that just I the riht proportion for any jman is here. The picture is apt to be so good that you will make the change today, especially when you see our $17-50 SUITS FOURTH a vagary of fate, are born into a life that know do comfort, no joy, no hap pines, no success; it know naught but poverty, suffering and despair. "Shorty," for that was hi name, el bowed his way . through the crowd. Try as he might, he could not reach the curbing. Where his pigmy strength failed, he resorted to stratrgy. A man of goodly size stood in bis way. Around this man the people were tlmost every doorway. The somber neither to the right or left nor could he retreat. He promptly stamped with all his might upon the foot of the ob struction. "Wow," my corn, yelled the man jerking back suddenly, throwing halfj a dozen people from their place anil at the same time making an opening which permitted 'Shorty'' egress to the curb. The little fellow took advantage of bis opportunity with alacrity and was warn squatted upon the uncomfortable gran ite. But he was unmindful of this. His eye roved over the animated scene. He eagerly drank in every detail of the wondrous unrounding, and 1 through his little mind, there surged j ponderous thoughts. Parting, here and there, alsuit the streets, were hundreds of boys, not older than himself, but of different circumstance ana mock They all piwsessed those culiar red thing that banged so delightfully and were surely enjoying themselves, lie could not undcr-itand it. "Why should he not have such jolly gmsl flint" he thought. His delight in watching the boys was keen, They wore immacultte clothing, their face were clean. And so he wondered. In hi grey matter rose the Interrogation, "why!" He recalled that he had spent the previous night beneath the East river docks and that he had eaten nothing that morning. A solitary U4tr rolled down his soiled cheek and left a white streak. Where he came from, he knew not. He had heard of mothers and fathers, but did not remember ever seeing one or the other. There he sat, alone, and unno ticed. The trend of bis musings changed with the appearance of a mounted pla toon of police, which led the parade.. How fine they looked in their blue and bras. Their palmetto helmets shone in the sun like jewels, and In the bright rJys, scintillated the sides of the prancing horses The platoon wus followed by several companies of the "City's Finest" on foot. Then came the grand marshal and his aides, The grand marshal rode a spirited horse, which danced from curb to curb and jumped nervously at each sound. A man poss essing a better appreciation of amuse ment, than of common sense, walked into the middle of the street and placed an immense bomb upon the pavement. This he lighted and then ran for cover, The horse of the grand marshal, spying Men. A 4 OF JULY can be Comfortably celebrat ed when you wear one of our suits.

Hundred rushed to the istn of the boy, who bad be thrown to the pavement by the fore of the explosion. Hi rairired clothe. torn from hi body sapped the blood that flowed from diver wound, Not sound escaped his lips, he was seriously hurt. Tenderly he was carried to a nearby drug store where restorative were administered, but they proved of no avail. "Shorty" lingered fur few minutes. He recovered consciousness only la smile and mutter: "Didn't - she make a -a bell o' 'er racket" With that hi hed drooped, the Inst flicker of life left bis little Issly.
