Some of the memhers of the city coun- | ¢ll are combining to resuscitate the anti- spitting ordiriance. This ‘may be done by | putting up signs, such as they have in Minneapolis, “Do Not Spit on the Side- walk." Councilman C. M. Davis, of the Tweltth ward, the only unmarried councilman, is taking the lead in the movement to have the ordinance enforced. “As I go about the city, many spots can be noticed where some thoughtless citisen has done his best to convert the sidewalk Into a close re- semblance to the garbage end of a pig pen,” sald Mr. Davis. “This may be done | In the spirit of ‘a bas the ‘ordinance,’ or it | may be pure carelesstiess, but It certainly ought to be stopped. Councilman Davis is to pe married early in May and is bullding a residence for him- self where he will settle down for good. “Of course, the near’ approach of his nuptial day has its efféct on Councilman Davis,” sald Judge Berka, “but that is be- side the question. “Wa have the antl- spitting orflinance on the books, and it should be honored. It is not pleasant for ladies, as Mr. Davis poliited out in a con- | sultation with me, to' have their skirts dragging through tobaceo juice; to be com- | pelled to walk through seas of expectora- tions, or to have their attention detracted | from the poise of theft' hats by the neces- sity for dodging hiiher and yon on the sidewalks. I certainly am in favor of preserving the entente eordiale maintalned between the ladies and the council, as much as Councilman Davis, and I propose to back up Councllman Hummel when he delivers { the speech he has preparéd on the subject for the Woman's club,! Chiet Donahue admits the ordinance has probably been overlooked to some extent of late, In that no arrdsts have been made. “Most men spit on the walks because of thoughtlessness rather than from any other Teason,” said the chief! “I am inclined to [ believe a little card ot Warning such as is posted in Minneapolis ‘Would have a good effect.

It still is & disputed question as to which side actuaily did fire the first shot. The Britlsh were under orders, it was claimed, not to fire first. Certainly the Ameri- cans were, Some " of the Claimed that the "British ‘started firing. All of the British' declared that the Amer- foans 4id it. The most probable theory deems to be that, after all, the real first shot was nothing miore thah flash In the pan_of an antiquated fiintlock musket in the hands of a' Minute maa. In his nervousness he accidentally pulled ' the trigger, but only the cap 'exploded. The British commander accepted 18’ as a shot, The first gun of thé revolutlon may have been a ‘flint lock fizzle, but the Stars ahid’ Btripes of today is a living witness that & bad beginnifg did not’make a bad ending. Patriots' day as & legal institution had its origin In the old timé Fast day i Massachusetts. ‘For many yeats the gov- ernor of that conmimonwealth annually pro dlafmed a Fast day. Gradually in practice (he Fast day by proclamation becamé a feast day by observance, a Fast day ob- served ochlefly by its desecration. Then the legislature took up the matter and de- clared that the Fast day should be abol- ished and Patriots’ day substituted. This was done, and In 134 Patriots' day was celebrated for the first time. The celebra- tions this year promise to be more ex- teusive than ever. All over New England and in many parts of the country it will be_observed. It is' one of the ¢oincidénces of history that noarly all of ‘the Important wars in which the United States has had a part have begun in April. The Revolution began April 19. The embargo act leading up, to the war of 1812 was passed by con- &Tess In April; the Black Hawk Indlan war began April 21, arid the' war with Mexico Aprll 2{ Sumter was fired on in Aprii, and the first blpodsbed of the Civil war occurred on the ninety-sixth anniyersary of {he first bloodshed of the Revolution. The Spanish war began on April 2.

Saratoga and Yorkjown. Revere has left his own versiom of that famous ride. He wrote it for the Massachusetts Historical society in 1708. At the, time of the ride he was 40 years of age. He was not a’ movice in the business of express riding: having, been employed by the se- lectmen of Boston to carry the news of the te6 party to New York, and at other times to cafry messages to the Continental eon. ess at New York and Philadelphia. In e winter of 1774:5 he and thirty other mechanics organized themselves fnto an assoclation for watching the British troops. Every man of them swore upon & Bible at each meeting that he would not divalge: anything - that transpired, except to certain prominent and authorized per- sons. ‘When it was discovered that the British intended to advance, another messenger {Wis went ahead to notify John Hancock %4 Samuel Adams. The lantern signals for Old North Church tower had been ar- ruoged previously, When Revere made his landing at Charlestown he got a horse from Deacon Larken, and it was on this steed that he made the famdus ride. When he came to & place where & criminal had been hanged in chains he wasiaccosted by two British officers, who tried to stop him. One rode In front and the other be- hind bim. Suddenly, he dodged into a by- path and Into another road, losing the pufsuer in & clay pond. He reached Lex- ington In & few minutes after midnlght.

And such a retreat as | it was! From every bush, every rock, and | every trec there came a well-directed shot that laid some British soldier low. The English were given a taste of the kind of warfare the Indians had meted out to Brad- | dock on his Pefinsylvanla march, and the English historjan Stedman declares that | when they reached the hospitable rein- | forcements under Percy their tongues hung out Jike dogs after a chase. Lord Percy's band had played Yankee Doodle in derls- ion, but it was silent by the time it got back to Boston, The fight at Concord was full of.inter- esting iucidents. It is a well established fact that here the British fired first, while the Minute men were protesting against their tearing up a bridge. They gearched the house of Colonel Barrett. Mrs. Barrett gave the red Coats food, but refused pay on”the Biblical grbund ' that *when = ah enemy hungers he i3 to be fed.” She suc- ceeded in covering up many vaiuable stores. It Was reported affer the battle of Concord that many of the British had been scalped by the Minute men, after the fashion of the Indlans. = General Gage even transmitted this report to, the English war office. The way it came about séems fo have been thit ‘an English soldier who had been wounded shot a boy who had come down to the creek for water. This so angered the boy that he took a hatchet and brained the wounded soidier, The annual observance of this day in Massachusetts 18 of inestimable benefit in that it Impresses upon the minds of the youth of the state the part played by Massachusetts and New England in the struggle for American independence. It ls to be compared to the celebrations in North Carolina of the anniversaries of the Hali- fax independence resoiutions on April 13, and of the signing of the Mecklenburg declaration of independence on May %0, and to the celebration in Vermont ot August 16 as Bennington Battle day. Wash- ington's birthday and the Fourth of July serve to keep alive the memorles of the more general events of the war of inde- pendence. These state holldays serve to remind the people of the states of the part taken by thelr inimediate section in that memorable struggle. BY FREDERIC J. MASKIN, Tomorrow—Indian Dances.
