Ton say yon were "born here that settles tbe matter;" Not quite; perhaps much as tbe marching Dd noise, Tbe burning of powder, tbe din and tbe clatter On Fourth of July making soldiers of boys. Ton see, tbe American standard was set Quite high at the first, and it's rising still higher; No American boy is allowed to forget That be cannot be great through the fame of his sire. Tbe men who are great on our history's page That speaks of our work for our first hun dred years. Whose fame im increasing as sge after age Bolla backward, to drown in the gulf of the years. Are great from tbe fact that tbey stood' for tbe right. Regardless of person, of place, or of pelf; Tbey battled each evil that rose into sight For the good of their fellows, forgetful of self. This is what is expected. Ton may have been born In the slums of a city, or far in the West 'Mongst the shimmering plumes of the ripening corn; Or first saw tbe light where a king's gold en creqt Overashadowed the land; where the poor turned their eyes From their hovels, far out over mountain ana wave. To the sunset Republic, where liberty's skies Smiled down on the homes of the free and the brave. Being born an American, can't be denied Gives a man a fair start on the highway of fame. Or of wealth, or whatever else he may de cide To deserve, to achieve and attach to his name. But whoever would win must be ready to work; He must earn and secure before he may enjoy; In all the wide field there's no sheaf for tbe means this to be an American boy. You may. not be selected for perilous trips Over mountains and glaciers, or sail in the van Of the fleet for entrapping an enemy's ships. Then take to the waves on a catamaran. But you must be ready, and stand by your guns. Wherever you find them, as firm as tbe earth. If you would be proved one of Uncle Sam's sons By lawful adoption of fortunate birth. Then hold your bead high, your eyes on the stars And stripes of our banner, your hand firm ana sure; Ton will win, though you carry an enemy's Oalahad strong because you are pure. Stand fast for the right. Look well to your ways; Build your life of pure gold, with no grain of alloy; Do your best if you'd win yourself loftiest praise. And deserve to be called an American boy. Margaret Holmes Bates. f A Premature Fourth, t BT TAUL ISOELOW B- NCIP1ENT Fourth of July enthu siasm was astir as the Millville ac commodation rolled into the depot, discharging a cheery-faced, portly gentle man of 50, carrying a bulging satchel. He came out on the "market street" in time to get a shower-bath from a pack of firecrackers flung by a crowd of urch ins, enveloping him in a veritable "blaze of glory!" "Hi! you young imps!" he roared but the coterie only grinned, for their victim was chuckling as though he enjoyed the excitement, tossed them a quarter, and laughingly strolled over to the farmers wagons lining the square. "There's the best-uatured man 1 ever did see!" the occupant of one was re marking as the man sauntered up. "Any of these rigs going down the old Fork Road?" he inquired." "1 am," nodded the other "thirty miles." "A lift of two will suit me." "Jump in. I say, stranger, you're the beamingest mortal 1 ever sot eyes on: I'd a-chased those bothersome kids with the whip lash." "Pshaw was a boy myself once," re torted the traveler. "And beaming? Why shouldn't I be? Just back from the Philippines, easy conscience, some money, and come home to have a jolly Fourth with my best friends." Rolfe Burton, an orphan from an early age, had experienced some hard knocks and single-handed, had fought his way to quite a competency. Two miles from Millville lived the only relatives he knew. They were the Phil lips and the Ames families, occupying neighboring farms his half-cousins. He had drifted down here a few years back, and they had made it very pleasant for him. Especially had young George Ames put himself out to entertain him, and quite naturally winsome, warm-hearted Alma Phillips discovered a kindred friendship. A great idea came into Burton's mind; these two were made for one another. They were very young only sixteen then but mutually in love. It would be the object of his life to nurture their pretty engagement. They would marry, he would endow George with a farm, sug gesting a life-tenancy for himself as a compensation. Then came up the Spanish war. Burton caught the martial fever at home and the real malarial in the Philippines. Now he was coming back to carry out his original plans, and was joyful as a vaca tion school boy, as be jumped down from the wagon. "Hello!" he expanded, as he neared the Fhillips farm. "There's old Seth, sure! Hit" roared the great, bluff fellow, and nearly shook his cousin off the hay rake with the suddenness of his hail. "Well! well!" spoke the farmer, star ing. "This is a surprise!" "Thought it about time for a wedding see?" rollicked Burton. "So, bobbed down on you hey?" "Wedding who's? muttered Seth, crabbedly. "Who?" retorted Burton. "Who should it be but George and Alma?" "Shet up!" shouted Phillips, savagely. "Don't mention any Georges, or Ames, or that rascally tribe, to me!" "Eh! what's happened here?" stared the astounded visitor. "Go up to the house. I'm busy, but'll hurry through and join you soon. Hold on say. Burton: you're not going down to see Si Ames?" challenged Seth rough ly. "Why not?" "Then drop me that's all! Tin through with that rubbish; you can't be my friend and his'n, too!" "Whew!" whistled Burton, trudging on. He sat down by the wayside, finally, nis wits were askew. What, indeed, was happening? Things seemed turned all topsy-turvy! . lie got up as he saw a light buggy ap proaching, and recognized old Lawyer Russell. There was an interchange of greetings. The attorney stated he was going first to the Phillips farm, then on to Ames place. "I'll go with you. Anything valuable here. Squire?" asked Burton, as he plac ed his satchel behind the seat next to the attorney's document bag. UNCLE SAM One hundred and twenty-six years old b'gosh! Minneapolis Journal. "Nothing but the papers in this pes tiferous dispute between Ames and Phil lips," answered Russell. "Because I've got some extra hazbard- ous in my satchel !" half-laughed Bur ton. "How's that?" "A dozen genuine double-headed Chi nese giant fire-bombs. Brought 'em clear from Manila to celebrate Fourth of July with the Phillips kids. Looks, though," suggested Burton, ruefully, "as if there isn't going to be much celebrating around these parts!" "I fear not," gravely replied Kussell. "I suppose you know the bone of conten tion between these two stubborn-headed old fellows?" "I don't, but I want to know," assert ed Burton. "Well, you remember the eighty-acre strip that lies between the two farms belongs to the Morris estate. Last year Ned Morris leased it for ten years to Ames.. Same time, unknowingly, Lida Morris leased It to Phillips. Both claim ed it. Neither would give in. They've fought like cats and dogs over their re spective claims. I suggested they use it alternate years. No go. I've got the leases in my document bag there, and I've come down to see if they won't fix the matter up." When they reached the Phillips farm a joyous brood of children surrounded "Uncle Rolfe." He was kept busy dis tributing newly minted dollars , and agreeing to help them shoot off their fireworks, and act the festive old boy gen erally. Provided with the means of replenish ment, the children set off some of their stock in hand. Meantime, old Seth came in from the fields. , Burton sat on the veranda, watching the stubborn-eyed farmer while the lawyer explained that he and 'Ames must compromise or go to law. "Law be it!" cried Seth. "I'll never give in." Bang! An awful clatter rent the air. The spot where they had left the lawyer's horse and buggy was a maelstrom of fire and detonation.. "My double-headed Chinese bombs!" . cried Burton. "My legal document . bag! quavered Russell. This had happened: The youthful Phil lips brood had thrown some crackers into the buggy, fire had communicated to the contents, there had been an explosion, and Uncle Rolfe's cherished importations had gone up in smoke! "Hurrah for the Fourth of July!" Uncle Rolfe waved his hat with a will. "But it isn't the Fourth of July yet !" piped a tiny nephew. "Hurrah for the third of July, then!" roared the whole-hearted visitor. "Glory! Buggy blown to flinders, horse run away, Lawyer Russell scared to death, but all the same hurrah!" There was cause for jubilation. Uncle Rolfe had come as the good angel of the occasion. Now, four hours after the explosion, two shame-faced neighbors shook hands, and "made up," and meekly smiled upon happy Alma and George, cooing among the rose bushes. The explosion had ended "litigation," for it had blown to flinders both of the leases that made the eighty acres a bone of contention. "Two well-disposed, lifetime-friend cronies fighting over a bit of land!" ral lied Burton. "You stubborn old noodles, I'll soon settle that. Know what I'm go ing to do?" All hands looked expectant, for Uncle Rolfe was always doing something great. "I've deputized Russell to buy the eighty acres for me. You, Seth, shall have half of it to till; you, Si, the other half for a year." "And then?" inquired both" farmers in a voice. "Why, then," crowed Uncle Rolfe. rap turously, "I shall give it to George and Alma. The thing's settled they're going to get married next Fourth of July!" George Wore False Teeth. During the latter part of his life Wash ington wore false teeth, made by a dent ist named Greenwood. His teeth did not fit well and pushed out his lower lip. He had a lot of trouble with. his teeth, and there is in existence a copy of a letter which his dentist wrote to him a year before he died. The dentist tells Washington that the old set of teeth which he sent him from Philadelphia was very black, and that it must have been discolored by his soaking them in port wine or by his drinking too much port wine. He warus Washington that all wines containing acid are bad for the teeth, and advises him to take out his teeth after dinner and put them in clean water, and should any holes be eaten in them by the acid, to fill them with wax arid seal them tight with a piece of red hot iron, such as a nail. He closes his letter as follows: "If your teeth grows black, take some chalk and a pine or cedar stick; it will rub off. If yon want your teeth more yellow, soak them in broth or pot liquor, but not in tea ox acids. To preserve teeth they must be very often changed and cleaned, for whatever attacks them must be replaced as often, or it will gain CELEBRATES. to-day, and feelin' frisky ez a kitten, ground and destroy the works.

The other night the freshman toastmistress was "suddenly set upon by the sophs." says a veracious chron icler, but the freshmen "held their ground bravely and a long struggle fol lowed." The toastmistress was cap tured, but afterward escaped. Anoth er freshman speaker, however, was ta ken, "hustled into a cab and driven around the city during the entire even ing." being released only after she had made a speech, standing in front of the restaurant where her classmates were making as merry as they could without her, "extolling the sophomore class." A form of iuterclass pleasantry said to be much in favor among the young women of Welles-ley is the sprinkling of flonr on the locks of freshmen and sophomores, and vice versa. At Vassar the students in the second year give some form of evening entertainment in honor of the bashful newcomers. But Vassar and Wellesley are not up to date, and they are only girl's colleges, anyway. They order this matter better in Ithaca. FARMER BOY CELEBRATES. Youth of the country wakes up to the day of crackers and eloquence. The Lost Chord.

His "better half" was in a country shop several miles away where there was a tele phone and the skeptic was also in a place where was a similar instrument.
