Plymouth vs. Provincetown.

Many hundreds of the teachers VINO

Plymouth Rock among other historic
shrines. and the incident gives the Bos-

no correct history SO that ProV-
incetown, not Plymouth, shall get the
credit of the landing Of the Pilgrims.
To give the historical writer's a founda-
tion of facts upon which to work, 1t fs
proposed to erect at Provincetown a
stone monument, 200 feet high. With
this monument in place, sending rays
from its beacon light out 80 miles at
sea the first welcome to the Immigrants

tn law more stress on the fact that the
Pilgrims landed at Provincetown hrst'

the people of this country for 300 years,
that she has basked In the sunshine OF

1t IS alleged by some gossips that
what IS known as Plymouth Rock was
not within five miles Of It's present loca-

Plymouth. Some env1ous fellows OF the

have carried rocks to the present loca-

1t was notable victory for Ameri-
can marksmen and American guns
which was won in England, last week
Against the crack shots of England
her colonies and the continent, the
American team captured first honors,
and it is worthy of. note that second
place was won by the Canadian team.
The American team was made up OF
four men from the National Guard of
New York, one from that of Massa-
chusetts, one from that of Ohio, one
from the District Of Columbia and one
from the United States marine corps.
Their victory will give Europe renewed
respect for the American soldier, and
show it that the grandsons of the min
ute men who CHASED the red-coats
down the lane" are still of good eye
sight and steady nerve.

When the new trial was granted in
the Terrio case it was said positively 1t
was the first time Il new trial had been
granted to an alleged murderer in this
State. This turns out to have been a
mistake AS a matter of fact there
have been two similar cases within the
last ten years, and very likely others
may be found by delving in the records
James Lewis, convicted of the murder
of Byron Coburn in Gorham, was grant
ed a new trial. The second case cited
IS that of IIlectus cakes, who was con-
victed at Houlton in 1900 of murder in
the first degree, but on account Of an
error in the judges charge the verdict
was set aside and the defendant grant
ed q new trial.

Few people realize the attractions of
the sleepy little town of Hollis with its
quaint houses and fragrant gardens
full of old fashioned "posies," sweet
williams, phlox, old fashioned pinks,
hollyhocks and marigolds. Hollis is
easily reached via the Portland &
Rochester road, leaving the train at
Saco River station. From the station
there is a fine view Of the Saco river
and the bridge, crossing the latter one
can follow a winding, shady road which
leads to the foaming cascades of the
Saco river. Nearby is the famous In
dian cellar, which gains it's name from
an old legend. Tradition has it that
"once upon a time" long years ago a
beautiful Indian maiden fell between
two steep rocks which border the
river. Her cries and means were pitiful.
After being prisoner for more than a
day the Indians finally succeeded by
some sort of blasting in freeing the
poor maid and the large cavern which
was made, remains as a proof of the
verify Of the tale. 1t Is a wild and
beautiful place. The cave itself is fifty
feet deep and into it the water of the
Saco rushes in whirling eddies. It's
banks on either side are lined with blue
hare bells. On the upper banks grow
waving trees and patches of cool green
moss while nearby the cascades dash
by in whirling foam. In the distance
the bridge across the river completes
the picture.
