JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Browa
Two Fourths.
Youug Mickey Flynn was frecklcil
" and thin,
And his dollies were most patches
and fray,
But the smile that he wore was as big
as a door;
He'd a quarter to spend for the
day.
Pcrcival Cadd was a gentle young
.s , . lad
With n million in money or more,
JBut- I'crcivul cried because papa dc-
' .. ' nied
Him a cannon with twenty inch
bore. - -
So young Mickey Flyun with .his
small stock of tin
.Tad the secret of holiday joy;
And Pcrcivnl Cadd he never e'en
had
The knowledge that he was a boy.
Aperfoct day for the Fourth of July uolclmttum in
iMoilford has boon provided. At a matter ol fact,
Rotm River Valley weather the greater part oC tho year
is as nearly porfootas any seetion ean produce hut nature
seems to have made a special effort, for this anniversary
of the nation's birth.

amusement and entertainment, m which sports aro larg
ely featured. There is but one thing to mar the day
the customary incessant bang of fire crackers and other
explosives.
It is true that, a commendable attempt has been made
to restrict and diminish the noise. Certain portions of
the city will enjoy comparitive peace. But the boom and
crash of the senseless cracker in this and other cities
makes one long to flee from the maddening crowd's
ignoble bang.
it is easy to understand why a child loves the noise,
just as it is easy to comprehend why ho enjoys" whack
ing baby brother over the head with'a toy engine he is
a little barbarian and doesut know any better. The
savage and primitive instincts predominate, unfettered by
tormina or reason.
It is not so easy to understand how a fully matured
person can find pleasure or enjoyment in noise. It must
be a very primitive order of intellect that appreciates
the crash of a Fourth of July though a simple minded
savage might bo thus easily delighted. It is certainly a
miserable way for the enlightened twentieth century to
commemorate the founding of a nation and the birth of its
independence.
In its amusements, humanity does not seem to have
changed much with the centuries. Ye flock to the auto
race as the Romans of 2000 veal's ago crowded to the
chariot race. As the gladiator of old delighted the throng,
so does the pug of today. Parades still claim the multi
tude as in thedays of the Pharoahs. "We travel thous
ands, of miles for a seconds glimpse of the passing tinsel
of a Mardi Gras procession or cross the ocean to witness
the medieval fuss and flumery of a coronation of a king
in name only, even as the ancient traveled to see the
triumph of a real conqueror.
Mankind has evolvccUa better civilization as the cen
turies have winged away, and each survise sees condi
tions for humnnitv improved, yet with all of the progress,
sensible celebrations have not been evolved, though we are
wisely abandoning our crude and childish big noise and
returning to the pageants, parades and games of half for
gotten civilizations of antiquity before gun powder. was
