Sept. 1920, tine May hower with its com

in number--set sail for America. After
a stormy voyage OF over nine weeks
during which their small ship had more
than once been threatened with dis
truction, they anchored at Cape Cod on
the 2lst OF November.
They held a meeting in the cabin Of
the ship, and drew up compact in
(which they announced their intentions
OF making such laws as would be needed
for the general good OF the colony, and
all agreed 10 be bound by such laws and
obey them John Carver was Chosen

After spending some time in exploring
the coast, they landed at length on the

the rock that the American people will
ever cherish as the emblem OF their
Foundation, the spot marked out for the
settlement OF the first New England

but their suherings were intense. More
than half their number including
Governor Carver died that winter. AT
one time during that awful winter there
were only seven who had strength
enough to minister to the dying ard
bury the dead. The dead were buried
at night lest the Indians should know

PROCTOR HAD A GOOD Thing.

The Hardware Clerk Arrested Yester-
day for Robbing His Em-
plOyers.

Fred S. Proctor for some time past
O confidential clerk in Baker & Hamil-
tons hardware establishment, was ar
rested yesterday on a charge of steal
ing from the firm.
Just to what extent the pilfering has
been carried on has not yet developed,
but the manager of the store is hav-
ing an investigation made that may re-
suit in even more interesting develop
ments than now appear on the sur
face.
Suspicion was directed to Proctor
some weeks ago, and Detective Bris-
sci was put on the case to see what
he could find out He obtained certain
clews, and reported the result to Chief
of Police Drew. Captain Ash and Of
ficers Hardy and Naghel then set
out with Brissel to unearth goods that
had been stolen from the store, Proc
tor in the meantime being placed under
arrest They had a search warrant,
and went to the apartments occupied
Jointly by Proctor and F. de Wolfe
Eennah.
When informed of the object of the
visit and of the fact of Proctor's ar
rest, Hennah showed the officers
were kept and they were taken pos
session of.
The officers state that they were
too late to secure more, as creditors
Of Hennah had in the morning at
tached some of the goods, which were
taken away.
The stolen articles include all sorts
of things-razors, pistols, locks, hsh-
ing tackle, cutlery, hinges, fixed ammu-
milton. etc. Proctor appears to nave
been very prodigal in the dispensation
of his favors. for the officers state that
dozens of articles were distributed by
him among his friends. In all they
have unearthed about SlOO worth Oh
goods taken from the store.
Such articles as he had not given TO
his friends he appears to have taken 10
his room, where some of them were
found yesterday.
Proctor is a young Englishman VINO
came to this city from New New YORK
with strong letters of recommendation
to the firm as an aIl-around accountant
and hardware man, and appears to
have had little or no difficulty in Sc
curing employment by them.
Whether or not his peculations
amount to any thing worse than petty
larcenies remains to be seen.

A Statesman's Conscience.

Mr. Gladstone actually supported the
Government in the measure brought to
increase the grant to the College of
Maynooth. He spoke at some length
in support of the increased grant.
Then why did he resign his seat in the
Cabinet because measure was to be
introduced which on it's introduction he
cordially supported? Here We get at a
study Of the character of the man
He had not made up his mind as to the
purpose of the bill when it was sub
mitted to the Cabinet He could not
pledge himself to support it and to
speak for it. He thought it quite likely
that it would commend itself to his ma
turer judgment-and, at all events, he
told all his friends that he had not the
least idea of pledging himself to vote
against it-but he could not just then
see his way, and he preferred not to
IKE any responsibility for the meas
ure, of which up to the time of it's ex-
pected introduction he had not been
able to make up his mind altogether to
approve.
Just think what an absurdity this
must have seemed to the hack ministe-
rialist Of the time! Fancy what the
Tapers and Tadpoles the Wishes and
Washes of Mr.. Disraeli's novels would
have thought of 1t. Only fancy-this
young fellow, GladstoneI who has just
got into the Cabinet, already feeling
scruples of conscience about obeying
the dictation of his chief. and actually
giving up his place in the Government
just because his own absurd conscience
doesn't quite see ITS way in that par
ticular direction. Well, at all events,
there is one cOmfort-we have heard
the Last of this young Gladstone No
body will ever offer him seat in a
Cabinet again. Sensible men can't do
with fellows Of that kind. He seemed
