FOUNDER or ROnE

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 21 1901
The first cast brought to this country
of the remarkable stele, or tablet,
found recently in the old Roman Com
itium and believed by many authorities
to date back to the time of Romulus
and therefore almost to the very foun-
datfon of Rome itself, is now on eXhib-
ition in one of the larger lecture rooms
of the classical department of Har-
ward University. The cast, which was
purchased for the use of students of
geography, or writings upon stone, at
tracts the more interest in that the or
iginal will probably never be allowed to
leave Italy.
Something less than two years ago,
II will be remembered, this original was
discovered in the course of eXcaVa-
tions in Rome then being made by the
Commentators Boni director Of eX-
cavations for the Italian government.

A MARYLAND Xmas

(Written for the spy
Christmas is almost here and the
preparations for the celebration are
many and varied and most certainly,
here in the country, the true Maryland,
astonishing to my northern eyes. You
can feel the Christmas Spirit in the air
in the biting, slushing days and you
see it and are joyous when you drive
along the roads and meet wagons and
carts Of all descriptions loaded with
laurel and holly. Many Maryland
homes win be decorated with them, but
the larger quantity will be found in
wreaths and crosses to be shipped in
huge boxes and barrels to Philadelphia
New York, and Boston. Now and then
a wagon drives up to the station and
unIoads branch after branch of mistle-
toe. which is so heavily laden with the
small waXen berries as to astonish you.
Some of the finest mistletOe in the
market is shipped from Maryland and
Virginia.
Tall and beautiful Xmas trees are
set up in the corner of the best room
in nearly every home. These are de-

In MemOriam

ITO the memory Of the late Rev
James II. McKechnie1
our well-beloved friend is dead
Mournfully these words were said
On every tongue.
Death came silently at night,
Summoning from earthly fight,
The toiler young.
He toiled increasingly; the Masters
way
Was Clear-reVealed, as day by day
Good seed was sOwn.
a solace to the sick was he;
The dying longed his face to see
Fer life had flown.
The Altar Of his God he served
With humble, contrite heart, un-
swerved
And true
He comforted the re-distressed:
By many We're his deeds oft blest,
We knew.
Sincere endeavor, was his aim.
The narrow path to him was plain;
He led the way.
His gifted mind revealed store
OF knowledge which he bore
To those astray.
A noble heritage he's left
To us. his friends, who are bereft
OF him. so dear!
His memory shall our deeds inspire
To lofty standards, ever higher
Year by year.
His spirit loosed from earthly ties,
Winged its way up to the skies
At Gods behest.
Gone to that heavenly realm above;
There he abides in peace and love
With all the blest.

and of Castor and Pollux, to take a
single instance, was cleared away in
1882. the work of excavation stopped at
a level Of street pavements of the sixth
or seventh century, and only about
nine inches, as was shown by eXplor
ations several years later, above the
remains of the triumphal arch of
Augustus.
In other words. the ruins of the i'm
perial city represent not one, but sew
eral strata-the prehistoric, the mon
archical the republican, the imperial,
the Byzantine and the mediaevaL A
series of cities. roughly speaking, has
grown up each on the ruins of its pre-
decessor, and it was Signor Boni's
purpose to penetrate to the earliest
of these strata, choosing such places
as it should be possible to investigate
without detriment to the magnificent
ruins, already uncovered, of the later
periods. This work discovered in June,
1899. a piece of pavement unique
among all the ruins that have been
anywhere investigated, and leading
later to the finding of the possible Her
oon of ROmulus. This Heroon - the
hero place" in other wOrds-was not,
as has been sometimes stated neces-
sarily the grave of Romulus, but rath-
er the spot officially consecrated to the
worship which early Rome accorded to
its dead heroes.
When the union of the several peo-
pies from whom the Roman pOpulace
descended made the beginning of Rome
possible, the first places to come into
existence We're probably the Comitium,
or neutral ground. where all might
mingle on equal terms. and the Forum,
or market place, where the people met

for barter. Between these places there
ran, later, a medieval road, the ruins
of which have also been more or less
Investigated. The important excava-
tion Of 1899 took place on this border
land between Forum and Comitium
and discovered, under the old road, an
enclosure II by nine feet paved with
slabs of black Taenarian marble, and
standing opposite the Senate House
built by the Emperor Diocletian when
he remade this portion of Rome after
the widely destructive fire of 1923 A. d.
This bit Of pavement, now commonly
known as the "black stones" was
therefore attributable to Diocletian, the
use of Taenahian marble having ended
after his reign but its unique character
was evidenced that it perpetuated
something of unusual Importance.
Early Roman historians antedating
this period had made many references
to an apparently similar pavement in
about the same situation, all agreeing
that it marked a sacred spot, but dis
agreeing as to its exact purpose. Many
early writer's, however, among them
NerriUs Flaccus, a famous scholar of
the time of Augustus, and VarrO, once
called the most learned of the Rom
ans" agreed that it was intended to
point out the Heroon of Romulus.
A tunnel was driven under this
unique pavement by Signor Boni dis
closing an unoccupied grave. sur

by two pedestals that very likely may
have once supported stone lions, and

mental pillar and the stele from which
the Harvard cast is taken, with its
archaic inscription cut by some Etrus-
can stone-cutter at least five and per
hans seven centuries before the Chris
tian era. The grave with the other OBJ
jects around it, among them a large
platform probably meant for use in
offering sacrifices to the dead, answer
ed all the anticipations of the discov-

Balmy days of springtime!
Dancing leaves of green,
Waving bells Of flowers,
Prettiest sight, I ween.
Balmy days of Summer!
Heavy scented air,
Drifting from the meadows,
Makes life seem most fair.
Balmy days Of Autumn!
Apples hanging red,
Wheat and corn are garnered,
Blue skies overhead
Balmy days of Winter!
Days so short and bright,
Sleighing on the speedway,
Every starry night.

GRATTAN GRANGE.

Grattan Grange met in regular SEES
sion June 20 with very large attend
ance. The hall was filled with a pro-
fusion of beautiful flowers and pleas
ant faces. A fine program which had
been prepared in honor of the God
dess of Flowers, Flora, and after the

out, the Worthy Master opened the
program with few pleasing remarks
and then the Lady Assistant escorted

ed by Clara Brooks and Allie Slayton

ence of Flowers" which brought out
much applause. Miss Amy Bookey
gave fine recitation of Floral Ma
ture.
Miss Eleanor Emmons gave a fine
musical selection, Liberty Bell
March" which was equally appreciat-
ed. Miss Alice Mason read a selec-
ton and the choir sung several songs.
Aside from the above mentioned a
Floral Wand Drill was given which
brought forth many words of apprec-
iation and honor to the participants.
Under Mr.. Hawley's skillful training
the twenty-four young people each
did ample justice to their parts.
The young ladies were all attired in
pure white, which formed very at
tractive feature of the drill. The
young men were all in proper attire
also. All carried wands with a
wreath of roses at the top and as the
drill closed these tokens were deposit
ed at Flora's bower.
After remarks by several of the
members, Grange closed and fine
