THE PATRIOTIC SMALL BOY.

Kind, considerate Uncle John furnishes little Georgia with a supply of firecrackers, that he may fitly demonstrate his patriotism and celebrate the day.

Georgie ties a bunch on his sister’s pet Yorkshire, and finds it beats tin cans all to pieces.

He next notifies an equestrian that patriotism is abroad in the land.

Finding kind Uncle John asleep on the back perch, he thinks it would be great fun to give him a little Fourth of July surprise.

W T hich is duly acknowlsdged by kind Uncle John in a way calculated to discourage youthful patriotism. Even the heavenly bodies are not above suspicion. Saturn has a ring and can’t get rid of it.— Pittsburgh Chronicle graph.
