Mamma did not notice. She was
having her little noon “gossip” with
papa, and they were still talking about
their invalid neighbor.
“It isn't quite so bad as it seems,
you know,” papa was saying. “He al
ways has the straw laid down and
things muffled when he has one of
his worse nervous attacks. It doesn’t
mean all that it does in most cases.
He is terribly atlllcted by noise at al
most any time.’
“Noise! I should titink so!” That
was from Meredith, who pricked up
his ears at the word. Didn’t he know
how the Crosspatch Man felt ’bout a
noise? Didn't he belong to the Rudd
Street Second? Wasn’t he captain?
And oh, my, the times he'd seen the
Crosspatch Man a-scowling and a
fuming when they marched past his
window!

“But Fourth of July will be a terri
ble day to him —poor man!” went on
mamma’s gentle voice. That made
Meredith start a little. He bad been
thinking about Fourth o’ July, too.
(Did he think of much of anything
else nowadays?) He had been going
over in his mind all the glorious pro
gram of the day. For the Rudd Street
Second was going to celebrate in a
worthy manner. They were going to
even outdo themselves this year—and
hadn't they had the proud honor of
being the noisest street In the city for
two Fourth o' Julys a-running? Let
’em just wait till they heard this
Fourth o’ July!
It was three days off. That would
give the Crosspatch Man time to have
the straw taken up and the bell un-
known.

I nfortunately for an Invalid with
the terrible affliction called "nerves,”
Rudd Street was a regular nest of
hoys.They were boys everywhere on
it. You ran against boys when yon
went east, and boys ran against you
when you went west. Boys sprang up
in the most unexpected places. The

The Best of It
A Juvenile Sketch
for
Independence Da.y
The Crosspatch Man was sick again,
IN SHEER
with boys. And really, there was at
least one boy—and on an average two
or three —in every house on Meredith’s
side, except in the Crosspatch Man’s
house. Oh, dear me, no, there weren’t
any boys there!
On the other side of the street you
had to skip the “middlest” house and
Miss Quilhot and Miss Eromathea’s—
oh, yes, and the minister’s house, of
which Miss Quilhot and Miss Eroma
thea were old maids, and the minister
—oh, no, he wasn’t an old maid, but
you couldn’t expect him to have boys
in the house, for how could he ever
write his sermons?
So it was, as I said, an unfortunate
street to hav: "nerves” on. And the
Crosspatch Man had so many!
The three days between soon went
away, and it was the night—th 3 very
night—before it! There were only a
few hours more, for, of course, you
didnt’ have to wait till the sun rose on
Fourth of July.
Meredith had drilled the Rudd
Street Second for the last time and
dispersed his men. He was on his
way home to supper. Going ’by the
Crosspatch Man’s house, he neard
voices distinctly issuing from an open
window. He couldn't help hearing, it
was fo quiet in the street. Perhaps it
was the "lull before the storm.”
"The sahib cannot bear it,” a gentle
soothing voice was saying, but Mere
dith recognized the indignation mixed
with the pity in it. "The sahib will
be again sick.”
Then came Meredith’s astonishment,
for the Crosspatch Man’s voice was
answering, and it was quite calm and
gentle; and it said-
"Of course I shall be sick again,
Hari !I’ve made all my plans to perish.
But what can you expect? The little
chaps must have their Fourth o’ July.
I was a little chan myself—once. Shut
the window,Hari. There’s a suspicion
of a draught.”
Meredith stood still in sheer amaze
ment, and watched the turban-man
close the window. He was a little
chap himself once, the Crosspatch
Mau was! And how kind his voice
had sounded, too. It made him sorry
for the crasspatch Man —sorrier than
he had ever been before.
“He’s a-dreadin’ it like sixty. He’s
’spectin’ to perish,” Meredith said
aloud. “It's goin' to make him sick,
of course —that’s what he said to the
turban-man. An’ he was a little chap
once, an’ his voice was kind an’ tired
out."
Then Meredith went home and
perched himself up on the banister
post in the hall, to think. That was
where he always thought things—big
things, you know. This was, oh my,
such a big thing!
"I’m cap'n,’ mused Meredith, knit
ting his little fair brows. “I can say,
‘Go, an’ thou ghost.” like the man in
the Bible; but they'll be dreadful
dis’polnted, the Rudd Street Seconds
will be. Still —well, he sick an’ he
had a kind spot in his voice, an’ he
used to be a little chap too, so of
course he used to bang things an’
make noises. I don’t think he sound
ed much like a Crosspatch Man.”
In a little while, after a little more
tough thinking, Meredith slipped
down and out of the door, up the
street. He got together the Rudd
Street Seconds and made a little
speech, as a captain may, to his men.
The next day the city and all Amer
ica celebrated Fourth o’ July, and
Rudd Street was famous again, but
this time for being the very quietest
street in al 1 the city! There were just
as many boys in it, too, as ever.
The Crosspatch Man's white, ner
vous face smoothed and calmed as the
day wore on, and at last it actually
smiled in a gentle way, as if he was
thinking about something pleasant.
And the captain of the Rudd Street
Seconds and his brave men, drilling
and popping and banging in a distant
street, were happy, too.—Annie Ham

Our Country's Flag.
The Hon. Joel R. Poinsett, a native
of South Carolina, and one of her
most gifted sons, during the latter part
of the administration of John Quincy
Adams, it will be remembered, repre
sented the United States at the capital
of Mexico, which was then much dis
tracted by internal dissensions. While
Mr. Poinsett resided there, the city
was captured by one of the contending
factions, and he and his family In
curred no small degree of personal
danger from the violence of the sol
diers, by whom they were suspected
of affording concealment to certain ob
noxious individuals. In the height of
the nullification controversy after his
return, in an address delivered to the
people of Charleston, the following elo
quent passage occurs:
"Wherever I have been, I have been
proud of being a citizen of this great
republic, and, in the remotest corners
of the earth, have walked erect and
secure under that banner which our
opponents would tear down and tram
ple under foot. I was in Mexico when
that city wae taken by assault. The
house of the American ambassador was
then, as it ought to be, the refuge of
the distressed and persecuted; it was
pointed out to the infuriated soldiers
as a place filled with their enemies..
They rushed to the attack. My only
defense was the flag of my country,
and it was flung out at the instant that
hundreds of muskets were leveled at
us. Mr. Mason and myself placed
ourselves beneath its waving folds.
We did not blench, for we felt strong
in the protecting arm of this mighty
republic. We told them that the flag
that waved over us was the banner of
that nation to whose example they
owed their liberty, and to whose pro
tection they were indebted for their
safety. The scene changed as by en
chantment, and the men who were on
the point of attacking my house and
menacing the inhabitants, cheered the
flag of this country, and placed senti
nels to protect it from outrage. Fel
low-citizens, in such a moment as that,
would it have been any protection to
me and mine to have proclaimed my
self a Carolinian? Should I have been
here to tell you this tale, if I had hung
out the Palmetto and the single star?
Be assured that to be respected abroad,
we must maintain our place in the
Union!”

Consisting of CUTICURA SOAP to cleanse the

allay Itching, irritation, and inflammation, and
soothe and heal, and CUTICURA RESOLVENT
to cool and cleanse the blood, and expel humour

the most torturing, disfiguring skin, scalp, and
blood humours, rashes, itchings, and irritations,
with loss of hair, when the best physicians,
and all other remedies fail.
MILLIONS USE CUTICURA SOAP
Assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for preserving, purify
ing, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of
crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling
hair, for softening, whitening, and soothing red, rough,
and sore hands, for baby rashes, itchings, and chafings,
and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery.
Millions of Women use Cuticura Soap in the form of
baths for annoying irritations, inflammations, and excori
ations, for too free or offensive perspiration, in the form
of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sana
tive, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves
to women and mothers. No amount of persuasion can
induce those who have once used these great skin purifiers
and beautifiers to use any others. Cuticura Soap com
bines delicate emollient properties derived from Cuticura,
the great skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingre
dients and the most refreshing of flower odours. No other
medicated soap is to be compared with it for preserving,
purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair and hands.
No other foreign or domestic toilet soap, however expen
sive, is to be compared with it for all the purposes of the
toilet, bath, and nursery. Thus it combines in One Soap
at One Price, the best skin and complexion soap, and
the best toilet and baby soap in the world.
