Ourby desire must be translated into action; we must seek to create the intellectual and moral atmosphere in which peace thrives, to cultivate links of personal friendship, to train the sympathetic imagination which will enable us to view the world from the standpoint of those from whom tie are divided by race, color or culture. But love is the ultimate cure for prejudice and spitefulness, for bitterness and hatred, for greed and ambition. A. S. Speake. To be strong, conquer yourself.

A man can see where, twenty years ago, he could have saved thousands of dollars, but he cant see how he can do if now. Can a man be said to be partial to a thing when he gives his entire attention to it? Air castles of a bachelor are usually constructed of smoke. Have a place for everything and for goodness sake never change the place if you want to find the thing. The busy are happier than the idle, and the man who has found his work is much happier than the man who has not found it. Women are always included when speaking of mankind, for man embraces woman.

Ions Yearly View Declaration ORB than a million patriotic pilgrims a year pause before a marble shrine on the second floor of the Library of Congress to gaze with reverent eyes at a fading document sheltered In a coating of gelatin to prevent its further Injury which is a certain Declaration of Independence signed in the city of Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. Most of the signatures, writes Elizabeth Ellicott Poe in the Washington Post, are indistinguishable at the present time but on the front of the top row of names Is a name written in large John Hancock, it reads, and the historically minded remember that when that sturdy Massachusetts p a tr i o t bent over to put script his signature to this fateful paper he remarked: Ill write it large so King George can read it without his spec- tacles. John Hancock, one of the richest men of Boston town, had much to lose by his stand. It was no idle gesture to him, this adoption of the cause of the colonies. His properties were to be forfeited to the crown for what would be considered an act of treason but John Hancock did not hesitate because of this. He was a native of Braintree, therefore a friend and neighbor, no doubt, of John Adams, who was afterward to be the second President of the United States. As a member of the Committee of Patriots appointed after the massacre In Boston asking the British to withdraw, Hancock had counseled every honorable means to avoid the conflict impending. At the funeral of the slain he preached an oration in which he flayed the cowardice of the British officers and men in slaughtering un- armed men. When the Continental Congress was formed John Hancock represented Massachusetts therein and In 7 served as Its president. In his spacious Boston mansion meanwhile Lord Percy, Britains pet, held sway, a price was put on the head of John Hancock as well, which only amused the game patriot. Hancock was so eager to fight that he let it be known that he was willing to face the .hardships of the field. After his Revolutionary service was over, Hancock was elected the first governor of Massachusetts, which office he held from 1787 until his death. John Adams spoke of him as a clever fellow, a bit spoiled by a legacy." He left no descendants and so busy were his heirs in distributing his property after his death that they did not erect a tombstone. Massachusetts In later years repaired this omission and a monument now stands over his grave in the Old Granary Burying ground, on Tremont street, in Boston, hot far from the grave of his friend, Samuel Adams, another Massachusetts Revolutionary patriot. 1775-177- i multi-millionair- plied, I desire no reward.

Scythe Remains Where Placed in Tree by Civil War Soldier The historic tree known as the Scythe tree is on the grounds of the Birmingham (Ala.) ancestral home of the Paul Earle Greene family.

To a boy of the Insane Fourth era, the Fourth of July ranked only with Christmas in fiscal importance. On Christmas we knew it was 192 days to the Fourth, and on the Fourth we knew we had only 173 days until Christmas. Christmas savings funds had not been invented at that time, and would have been of no interest to boys anyhow, because boys were on the receiving end at Christmas. On the night before the Fourth, the children began showing strange symptoms, especially an unnatural beautiful The daughter was drowning when her canoe tipped and a gallant young man dived in and saved her. Pop was so grateful that he signed a check and said, Xoble sir, fill in your name and sum you wish. The youth smiled modestly and re- TOOKING present to go to bed early. That ges- - fevxi&i ture was deceiving and specious ; the children were not interested in getting their rightful rest before a strenuous day, but were insuring themselves against the sad accident of sleeping past three oclock in the morning. Any boy who wasnt out by three oclock In the morning shooting firecrackers under the respective windows of the pastor, the school principal and the truancy officer was deemed a sissy and not fit for human companionship the rest of the day. The opening ceremony was the only one unanimously attended. From that time on, too many things were happening to engage the entire juvenile attention at one time. There was the sunrise salute of 21 guns, engineered by the village backsmith who placed one great anvil upon another with giant powder in between, touched off from a daring proximity with a red hot iron. Usually the nether anvil grew very hot before the 21 salutes were fired and this was one of the causes of many distressing accidents in the Insane era. At ten oclock there was the rendition of the"Star-Spangle- d Banner," led by the band and assisted by the ladies of the G. A. R., whose voices sometimes didnt quite make the high note's ; and the reading of the Declaration of Independence by the mayor. Hostilities usually were suspended at noon for the community dinner In the city park, where fried chicken, water melon and lemonade from a barrel engaged the general attention until satiety was reached. The afternoon was a dizzy succession of patriotic and athletic events, wherein the popular candidate for congress, vied with g contest and a greased pole, a a ball game, for popular attention. Such was the Fourth of July celebration in the early 1900s, fraught, as one may see, with great dangers later minimized by the Sane Fourth campaign.
