Beyond these Woods of Shorne'' we
como to grand park, d thousand acres or
moro in extent, full of old oaks, under
which arc browsing herds of deer, and
through the park a long avenue of stately
elms stretches In a straight vista to an m
cient hall. This Is Gotham hall and park,
belonging TO Lord Darnlcy. Wc may re-
member that 1t Is described in "Piokwick
Papers" where Mr.. Pickwick, Mr.. Winklo

Leather Bottle tavern.
Soon we are In Gotham village end ar
rive at that Same old Leather Bottle tav-
ern. We pass through narrow hall and
arc ushered into n dark, low ceilinged
room. Here Dickens used to sit and study
the guests How many of his unique
characters must have passed oil uncon.
sciously under his deepseeing gaze In this
old room, for here he would make notes as
he sat In silence! Here, too he mode tho
Pickwick club to meet. The walls OF tho
room are now adorned with Cruikshank's
Quaint sketches of Dickens characters,
with newspaper prints and articles of the
time and with many portraits OF Dickens
and his family. Strangely enough, tho
only two pictures in the room not relating
to Dickens are portraits of the American
actress Mary Anderson.
Before we leave the inn We write our
names in the visitors book. 1t is grow
ing late, and we hurry back. 1t is still u
beautiful walk, and after five miles We are
again in Gravesend. Entering the town
by the Pelham road, we como to the White

plate another spot Of interest. Beside the
tavern is o little rectangular yard, well
covered with grass and surrounded by a
flower border In the middle IS circular
flower bod filled with white tulips, with
a solitary rosebush in its center. Nothing
further marks this spot, and few know
that 1t has special interest, yet under
that sod is the tomb Of Pocahontas.

There Is a larger number Of ships an
Chors manufactured In the little town of
Camden, Me-, than at oil the other places
In this country combined. All of the
stately ships that come out Of tho Maine
shipyards look to the village on Penobscot
bay for their anchors. Sturdy smiths
swing their hammers day after day all the
year long In the black, smoky, long, low
Camden shops, where only anchors are
forged. Sometimes the trip hammers are
going all night about the forges, and the
blazing of the fires and the ring Of the
hammers are seen and heard for miles
across the bay.
Thousands of tons Of old iron are pur.
chased by these queer Camden establish
ments every year, for anchors are forged
largely from cast off iron. The material IS
out into small pieces by great shears that
CLIP through the iron as easily as a cheese
knife slices cheese. The pieces are bound
into bundles by strong wires and are then
fused In the FORCES. Then they arc pounded
and welded into the various parts Of the
anchor, some wOrkmen fashioning rings,
others shaping the fukes, others ham,
mering out the palms and others forg-
Ing the shanks. Then tho "oompleters"
take the different parts and fuse and weld
them into tho finished anchor. Anchors
of all sizes and weights are turned out
from the noisy shops of Camden, from tho
graceful little pleasure boat anchor, weigh
ing but few pounds, to the great 5000
and z, 800 pound anchors for the biggest
ships.

tho famous frigate Cumberland was re-
paired and fitted with q new stock at the
Camden works and Is now at sea on the
forecastle of big ship. The old stock
was splintered up for the qualification Of
relic hunters, and there Is only q silver or
two of the historic wood left in Camden
This was tho anchor which went down
with the Cumberland when she sank after
her fight with the Merrimso In Hampton
Roads; hence the great demand for splin-
ters of tho stock.
There arc something like 5000 people
living in Camden, and anchor making Is

A Lesson to the Veterans.

The annual encampmentof the Grand
Army of the Republic, at ST. Paul, makes
1t apparent that the roll is RAPIDLY thin
ming, and that before long this grand
organization will live only in memory.
The roster showed decrease of 1000
IN membership during the year. OF
these 1928 answered the last summons
ana while those mustered in numbered
but 13,i67, the suspensions, possibly due
to hard times, numbered es,033.
These tables furnish an interesting
study to the veterans, and those who
cherish the G. A. r. When men find it
difficult to support themselves and fam
lilies, the dues at the society or the G. A.
II. become a severe tax.
BY no other circumstance can SO long
suspension list in the Grand Army of
the Republic be accounted fer, and it
demonstrates the necessity far more

prosperity to America. Philadelphia

to find man that could tell me how
