INDEPENDENCE DAY
177«.
I t is indeed strange that the 4th
Is not a legal holiday, for no legls-
la t ’on enacted by congress has ever
declared It such. NevertrelesH it is
celebrated throughout the Union In
a ll the states but Kansas, K entucky
M ’Bslsslppl and South C arolina, by a
legal holiday statute. In these four
States It la observed as a holiday by
general consent.
For a number of years the people
I f this nation celebrated the
day
w ith firew orks, f rin g of cannon, pis.
tolg and firecrackers. This mode f f
commemoration has been the occa
sion o f the loss of life and in ju ry
b rin g in g sorrow to a good many
homes. In la te r years a crusade
fo r a better and ‘‘sane” 4th
was
adopted g en e ra lly ' by the people of
th e nation) and now prevails.
In
most com m unlt'es programs consist
ing of a th le tic sports, p atrio tic ad
dresses, pageant, etc., are enjoyed.

eloquent words concerning nation

Those who study Nature And that
age-long traits and habits are being
In some cases modified and In others
entirely changed.
The w riter knows of a case where
a bird had Its hablta changed by al
tered conditions.
A trout fishery was established on
an estate In Scotland. During certain
seasons a large number of tbs fry or
young trout are crowded together In
shallow ponds, aa their Inclination Is
to keep together Just where tbe w ster
enters.
One day a blackbird, drinking at
one of these ponds, got hold of a
young fo n t, probably accidentally, but
found It was excellent feeding.
A
blackbird does not by habit get Its
food from the water, but thia particu
lar one, having tapped a new source
of food supply, returned to It again
and again.
The following season this bird had
by some means been able to Impart
Its newly found knowledge to all the
other blackbirds on tbe estate, and
Instead of one bird stealing the young
fish, nil the bird« got Into the way of
doing sol The owner hud either to
shoot the blackbirds or give up try
ing to rear trout.
T hat an entire change of food la
not detrimental may be proved by the
fact that many of the cows kept In
Norway are fed on fish, yet who w ill
say that a cow's teeth were made
for dealing with a diet of this sort 7—

H is Stroke o f Luck
One of the best legal anecdotes on
record Is told by Sir Ernest W ild, K. C.
A civil action was being heard In a cer
tain court of Justice, and counsel, hav
ing opened the case, called the plain
tiff, whereupon a member o f the Jury
ruse, left the Jury box, and made bis
way to the witness box. Asked what
lie was doing, he stated that lie was
the plaintiff. "Then what are yon <lo-
Ing on the Jury?" said the Judge. " I
was summoned to ait on the Jury,"
said the man. producing the summons
"But surely," said the Judge, "you
know that you cannot help to try your
own case?” "W ell," said the baffled
one ruefully, “I did think It was a hit
of luck."
W hile It Is not lite ra lly true that all
of the greatest paintings are of religious
subjects, since there are many famous
paintings that nre not religious, of the
following list of so-called twelve great
est paintings, ten are of subjects con
nected with religion: "The Last Sup
per,” Leonardo da V in c i; “The Last
Judgment," M ichelangelo; “Descent

“Communion of St. Jerome,” Domen-

Probably the only type of automotive

It’s worth noting that Zerolene “stands
up” in this sort of service as well as in
all others. The Business Manager of the
“S p o k esm a n -R ev ie w ,” of S pokane,
W ash., writes as follows:
“F o r more then ten years we have continued to use
Zerolene oils and greases in our sixteen cars and
trucks and three motorcycles. These carry our pa
per« every day in the year over all sorts of roads in
all kinds of weather, and may be classed as very
hard service.”
W h y pay tribute to the superstition
th at “eastern” oil is “better” just because
it costs more? Zerolene, made

The corner drucglst was an easy

used to criticize the way the store
looked. One day he arranged a dis
play of fibrous products in his front
window, the exhibit comprising d n
chona, cinnamon, elm, sassafras, wild
cherry and so on. Then a dog climbed
Into the window a c l went to sleep.
“Doc,” declared a friend, “that dog
Is very ranch out of place In the win

"Oh. I don't know," responded the
druggist, easily.

In a few week» the p-irrot should

Other appropriate phrases can be
