The Spirit of Allegiance Fourth of July See By Emma Archer Osborne
A Chicago tenement scene unfolds on Independence Day as Kate MeShane, tutored by a boy Terrance who salutes the flag, contemplates class longing, and clashes with suitor Ricard while a Coney Island outing exposes social temptations and a moral awakening. Terrance clings to the flag as Kate wrestles between desire and duty, ending with a tender note as she gifts the boy keepsakes and recalls home.

Another marks Absalom Peters shot in a creek by the explosion of his own gun, with satirical lines from a 19th century weekly.
