CiArk's ISLAND 10 where the Pilgrims
spent fhsir rrst Sabbath, holding "a al
day service and forming Bible class of
aged Indians Nj DO nad not seen s. b bic.
a bathtu0 or = baeksllder during the his
tory Of the c0nntry. Some say that they
had never seen anybody burned at the
STAKE TIL the Pilgrims came, but that
heard At CAPS Cod. which Is jealous Of
Plymouth aud also trying TO get up
boom on B1zzard's Bay.
On the left hand side of the street If
you 20 as 1 did DO not know which Is
east and west in PlYmouth-but On the
left hand side If you 20 along the street
as did. and on yonr right, of course, II
you come tho other way. You viii see
rough granite building with Doric col
uinns and portico 10 IL. 1t reminds
mo Of a Greek temple which l once
lived in while in Europe acquiring that
polish which Is SO noticeable In my man
ner and carriage since came back. It Is
more noticeable in nay carriage, think,
thAa anywhere else.
This is Pilgrim hall II Is not tho
first and original Pilgrim haul, but we
will not dwell on that. Before entering
let us wipe our feet carefully on the
grass at tho roadside in order to avoid
unnecessary wear On the scraper ct the
door.
Upon the pediment Of tho porch you
will see fine allegorical group in deni-
relief representing tho landing Of the
Pilgrims. One Of the Adamses is just
stepping sshore with . spiral cane and q
concordance. Others are following him.
The building was erected in 1924, but
eleven years ago 1t was thoroughly
went over and at great expense refur-
nished and refitted and nice new Ply
mouth Rock that had not been used was
put in in place Of the old one, which wAs
much out of repair.
Tho name Plymouth Rock was sug-
gerted 10 the Pilgrims by Rutherford b.
Hayes. IN elderly man who came over

school Of large Percheron hens. These
hens be called the Plymouth Rocks, and
- Ii was rule among them. and one to
which they strictly adhered, never to
cackle till they had laid an egg, this
wonderful characteristic Of keeping faith
with tho public 20 endsared them 10 tho
Pilgrim Fathers that their name is for
ever identified with the place where they
first set foot upon the soil Of America.
Inside we ,nd = very good picture Of
Oliver Cromwell. from a kodak study by
Sir Edwin Landseer. OF Cromwell l
can only say. In wholly bipartisan way,
as did the editor of paper in Mississippi
who. by some strange oversight. in an
unguarded moment paid his way In to
hear me Lecture once, ''Some liked him
and some did not"
The hgnstuse Of Cromwell was torn
of the corner Of this portrait by some
fend in human form in the days when
visitors were admitted free. Now that
admission rs charged, we fnd that relics
Of the Pilgrims do not have to be TO

Fronting the entrance at the east end
Of the hall hangs the large painting Of
the Landing BY Henry Sargent. 1t is
q good picture, there being but one criti-
