Oh, the nightingale is calling
And the mockingbird may
sing
[When the shades of night are
falling >
In the summer and the spring
But the ordinary rooster
Is a better friend to men—
For the rooster
Is the booster.
[Who awakens us again!
There are kickers in the city—
There are knockers in the
town,
[WHo will tell you it’s a pity
How the place is running
down.
But the optimistic booster
Is a better citizen —
For the booster
Is the rooster
Who awakens us again!

Liberty Bell.
Seventy-nine years ago today
tjie Liberty Bell tolled for the
last time. On that day it was
proclaiming the nation’s grief
over the death of Chief Justice
John Marshall, whose body was
being taken from Philadelphia to
its final resting place in Virginia
Suddenly the tone of the bell
gg-JLL!?1- -! - —
. \ .<
'changed, became muffled as if
| with grief. The bell ringer hur- j
■ried to the tower of the state
house. He found a great crack
in the side of the bell. In the
circumstance many professed to
see a fitting climax to one of the
most important epochs in the na
tion’s history. Fifty-nine years
before the bell had rung out the
glad tidings that the Declaration
of Independence had been sign
ed and adopted—this day its
tongue forever became silent
during the funeral services of
Chief Justice Marshall, the last
of the signers of the Declaration
and the last of George Washing
ton’s associates. Once before the j
bell had cracked- Made in Eng
land at the order and expense of
the colony of Pennsylvania, it
was brought to Philadelphia in i
I 1753, where it was given its first
I test for tone. The first blow of
i the clapper made a crack in the
bell. A Philadelphia firm offer
led to recast it, and rather than
i wait for its return from England
i the colonists turned it over to
j them. The foundrymen thought
j to increase the sweetness of its
tone by increasing the propor
tion of copper, but they deaden
ed the tone so that it could hard
ly be heard. Again the bell was
recast, and it proving a success
this time, it was hung in the
statehouse steeple, where for
the following eighty-two years
its ongue heralded every im
portant national event.
Today Liberty Bell lies in state
in the statehouse in Philadel
phia, where its first clarion peal
of liberty rang out. It is one of
the nation’s most revered relics,

and every year thousands of
pilgrims from ail parts of the
country visit this shrine. Be
fore it was placed in its present
glass case one might often see
distinguished men, women and ,
patriotic school children put
out their hands to touch the sa
cred relic- It was with a similar
feeling that President Taft
once visited it. After gazing at
it for some moments, he ear
nestly exclaimed: “I would
love to just lay my hand upon
the bell!” His wish was readily
granted, the guide having the
case opened for the distinguish
ed visitor. Six times has the
venerabe bell been carried to
distant cities to take part in
anniversaries and exhibitions, j
Ninety thousand school children
successfully appealed to the
governor of Pennsylvania to
have it sent to the St. Louis ex
position. During the anniversary
of the battle of Bunker Hill it
was escorted through the streets
of Boston by the Ancient and
Honorable Artillery company,
itself a relic of the Revolution
ary times. It was adorned with
wreaths, and the spectators,j
many of them being women,
kissed its brazen sides with
reverence. It has journyed into .
the South three times, to New
Orleans, Atlanta and Charleston.

gradually becoming larger, and
