Did you ever try to Imagine just what wuM happen to you If you were left alone on this round globe with all its wealth, all Its resource- and all its jo.wIl,ilitje.s? ' It ini;;!it teach you a lesson in humility If you gave it the proper consideration. The money would he worth nothing to you for there would he no person from whom you could buy. You could not even be charitable and give it away for there would he none to accept It. What would hapien to you then happens In a leser measure every day now. Let us suppose you .are a millionaire with' plenty of money and a desire to spend it, we will say, for a leautiful home. Suppose again that the masons and the carpenters and the plasterers and the hundred and one other artisans whose handiwork pro into a hue home, refused to accept your money or do your work. How would you get your home? , You might by dint of hard work build yourself a shelter, but It would not be at all what you wanted nor in the least what you could afford. You see, then, that although vou were a millionaire, you are dependent for your home comforts upon the willIn?: efforts of others. Suppose, on the other hand, that you are a poor man, not povertystricken, but poor In the sense of modern fortunes. You have saved a few hundre! dollars, bought a bit of ground and wish to build yourself a home. In order to do It you have to borrow money. Suppose the bank, or the building association, or whatever organization you apply to just plainly ami bluntly refuses to loan you a penny. You will find yourself in the same predicament that the millionaire was In. You cannot have the kind of home you want and can afford. You are dependent on others for that. Every morning when you eat your breakfast you are eating; In part, the "labor" öf hundreds of men and women. The clothes you wear, the shoes you walk in, the hat that shelters your head, all the necessities, to say nothing of the luxuries, you cnjv.v are the fruit of your deiendence upon other people.

THE WOODS

Bj DOUGLAS MALLOCH THE PATH. ' T.T WINDS lt way along the shaded hill. Disdaining distance, reeking only ease. It turn aside to linger by a rill. It climbs a slot to rest beneath the trees Or breathe the perfume of a Summer breeze. Here tirru ts nothing, haste a thing unknown The hot, straight highway for the craze of Ffoed; The path is made for them who walk alone. Whose CJotl is Nature, and the woods their creed. To follow blindly where the path may lead. No stern surveyor made It thus and so. Nor north nor south nor east nor west it tends. It dips to kiss the pool where lilies grow. It rises joyously where ivy bends And 'meets in fond embract'3 with Its friends. Through brooding brandies and embroidered leaves The sunshine filters In a golden rain. Transforms the tufted weeds to shining sheaves. The tangled grass to waving harvest grain. The marshy muskeg to a purple plain. This is a path of velvet from the loom Of droning Summer. Never human hind Wove such a pattern, bright with rose abloom Along its border. Never artist planned This brilliant carpet Hung across the land. Now princes leave their castles, kings their thrones. And unattended walk tllese sylvan aisles. They pause to muse beside this heap of stones More beautiful than all the granite piles Reared with slow labor on their ample miles. Sweet, solemn splendor of the silent wood. More dear you are than all the hYiunts of men; For never mortal In your presence stood And listened to the whisi er of the glen Dut songs forgotten sang to him again. Perhaps it is his mother's voice he hears. The faint re-echo of her cradle croon That sends him groping down the ended years To find some long-discarded boon, To find again some long-departed June. Then, by the magic of the shade and sun, Of tree and rose and brook and verdant sod, - This world shall seem to be that other one Where feet walk never, yet where souls have trod And he shall hold communion with hi3 God. (Copyright.) THE ROMANCE OF WORDS "ZOUAVE." PKIOII to the World war, one of the most dreaded branches of the French army was the Zouaves, a corp which was famous for its reckless bravery and fearless courage us It was conspicuous by reason of the bright red and very baggy trousers which it wore. The progress of military science and the great increao in the range of inodvrn lilies rendered the rod uniform a target for all sharpshooters, so the scarlet trousers had to be replaced by a less conspdeuous attire. Hut the Zouaves, as a corps, continued to live up to their reputation for daring a reputation responsible for their name, a somewhat more civilized rendering oi' the tribe-name of the Zounouas. mi extremely warlike nation in Africa.

v vx.-. V, ." - it Jr.' $1 View of Chestnut Street, Looking Quaker City's Record The name of Phlladelnhla is so closely connected with Independence day that any mention of the latter recalls the great part played by the city in the slsuiap of the Declaration of Independence, and the large nuinher of historical buildings and relics that attract visitors to the city not only from every part of the United States 'but from many other countries ns well. The chief niecca of the patriotic visitor to Philadelphia is Independence hall in which is contained that great shrine of American Independence the Liberty bell. The land on which' this building stands was purchased in 1730. The structure, erected as a State house for the old colony of Pennsylvania,, was slow in building, the first portion to be finisbed being "Independence hall," a room 39 by 40 feet and almost -0 feet high. The next part of the building completed was the Judicial chamber, of the name size as Independence hall, and separated from it by three arches. After the Revolution the wooden steeple was declared dangerous and taken down. Later the wings were altered to provide more office room for the county commissioners, and other changes very much altered the original appearance of the structure. The entire property was purchased by the city of Philadelphia in 1318, and every effort made to restore it to its original lines. The spirit of the old architects and builders has been respected and today, as In Colonial days, the State house typifies the refined simplicity and sincerity which has left It a precious legacy. Saw First Congress. In Carpenters' hall the first Continental congress convened Sept. 5, 1774, continuing in session until October 20. The second Continental congress also convened in this same hall, May 10, 1775. but later moved to the old State house where the Declaration of.Independence was adopted. In Independence hall tJen. George Washington took the oath as commander of the Continental army, June 10, 177o. Three years later the Articles of Confederation were signed In this same room, and in 17S7 the Constitution of the United States was aiypted and signed. The old building in which George Washington and John Adams took the oath of office as President of the United States stands beside Independence hall, but much altered from the original structure. The old Liberty bell, which rang out the glad tidings that the Continental congress had dared to sign the Declaration of Independence, is known throughout the world. It was cast in Kngland especially for the State house, and Imported In 17."i2. While on the wav it became cracked, and was recast in Philadelphia. The quotation, "Proclaim liberty throughout the land, to the inhabitants thereof," inscribed on the bell at that time, seems prophetic. The bell was hung April 17, 1753. Figured in Much History. ' Two years later it rang a warning to George III that the assembly refused to make laws, by dictation of the crown, and in 1705, muffled, the bell "tolled" the arrival of the hated stamps. "Muffled and tolled" it rang all day long when the stamp act was put In operation. It called the first A VERY OLD

Continental congress together; it proclaimed the Declaration of Independence; its glad peals announced the victory of Trenton and the surrender of Cornwallls ; it proclaimed the treaty of peace; it tolled out the grief of the nation ,nt the death of George Washington; It welcomed Lafayette to Philadelphia, and rang once more when he died; its solemn peals announced ! the death of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, ami Its last message to the world was the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1S35. As it breathed forth its sad dirge on that July day Its great side parted and it was silent forever. Mule though it is its patriotic inspiration is far greater than that of any orator, and more than a million people each year pause to behold this most precious heirloom of the American nation. How Bell Was Saved When Howe Advanced on the Quaker City. By Dr. Howard S. Taylor. On September 11, 1777, a warm, bright day, the people of Philadelphia stood around in the streets listening to the faint sounds of cannon firing down oji Ilrandywino creek, about twentylive miles away. They knew that a great battle was going on between the American army under Washington and the P.ritish, commanded by General Howe. And the Philadelphias listened to the booming of the distant, guns with passionately divided feelings. There were many Tories living in the city who were devoted to the British cauH' and hoped that Howe might triumph. There were also many devout Quakers in those listening crowds' who conscientiously abhorred war ultra pacifists who thought that the Americans had no business to tight even in defense of their liberties. Hut -a large part of the population of Philadelphia were patriots who had gotten the Declaration of Independence into their hearts at its first proclamation two months previously, and were praying for Washington and his "ragged Continentals." Sad News for Patriots. The noise of battle commenced about 10 o'clock in the forenoon, but by nightfall the sounds ceased, and a few hours afterward the Philadelphians learned that the Americans had met with heavy losses, had been defeated and were retreating before a wellequipped army of invasion which outnumbered the patriot forces about two to one. Washington managed to roenncontrate his troops and slowly fell back on Philadelphia skirmishing whenever opportunity offered. V-.v.---rvjT" : - . .J 1 PRINT'OF THE INDEPENDENCE

On September IS that body made a hasty adjournment, to mf ot again at Lancaster, sixty-eight miles away, and left Philadelphia thatnight. Put before they adjourned they took a thought about the Liberty P.ell ! Congress determined to save the bell If possible 1 It was not a matter of mere .sentiment. The bell was comparatively new then, and there were few sacred memories clinging around it. The resolution of congress Included some church bells in the city also. In fact, congress regarded the bells as J;it so much metal which the Itritish might break up and east into cannon. Got to Allentown Safely. So the bells were ordered to retreat to a place of safety at Allentown. fifty miles away, and the executive committee of congress was charged with the duty of supervising the job. Fitty miles over the winding dirt roads those days was a long, long way? i The Liberty bell weighed 2,Ko pounds. and It may well be supposed that the trip was made as quickly as possible. There was a chance That Pritish cavalry might come galloping up at any moment. Going through the quiet village of I'ethlehem. the wagon that hon the great bell broke down and the escort had to unload and get another vehicle. Put the bell went on to its destination, where, girdled by Its defiant Ilible tet, it waited for events. HISTORIC NEW YORK REGION Vicinity of Village of Fishkill Wai for Some Time Scene of Revolutionary Activities. Were you to spin along the post road from New York to Albany the same old post road that was built In the time of the French and Indian wars upon the line of the old Indian trail you would pass through the most historic part of this region, about a mile from the village of Fishkill. On account of its situation, in a fertile plain protected by surrounding hills. Fishkill was chosen for a !r.rge barracks for Revolutionary soldiers, officers' headquarters and supply depot ; and. while the I5ritlh oe.-:ip;ed New York, the government headquarters for printing and provisioning were also there. The sword that Washington himself carried was made in the village, which, at that time, con1 tnlned about fifty houses. It was In the Van Wyck hotie. wrongly called the Wharton house In Cooper's story, "Tin- Spy," that Harvey Rlrch, who was In real life a young shoemaker named Fno h Croby, had his trial. In the meadow below the house lie buried scores of Revolutionary soldiers. Across the road from the burinl field were the barracks. Youth's Companion. Another Date for Declaration. The Philadelphia newspapers on July o. 177s merely announced that on "yesterday the Continental emigre declared th United Colonies f re and independent statcV;." Only these twelve words and no more! It was not until two days later, however, that rhDeclaration, amended and blue-penciled, was agreed to and signed by John Hancock, prtfhlcnt of cingre-s. Ills was the only name thn given out.
