ings, or on the sad occasion of the funeral of one of his children or friends. Surely then it is more fitting that he should lie at Jordans than be removed to a mausoleum at Philadel- phia, as some Americans advocated a few years ago. It is even said that it was necessary at one time to place a guard over the grave to prevent the removal of his bones by stealth.
 Finally the agitators contented them selves with erecting a large statue of him in Philadelphia, and raising a small headstone over the grave, sorely against the wishes of the Friends. Jor- dans has somewhat aptly been called the "Westminster Abbey of the Quak- ers," for one reads in the register of burials the names of many of the lead ing Friends of long ago. Isaac Pen nington, whose step-daughter married Penn; Abraham Butterf1eld, Thomas Elwood, Milton's greatest friend, who was also orc of the first trustees of the meeting house; Joseph Rule, who was known as the White Quaker" from his practice of always dressing in white. There was a heavy fall of snow on the day of his funeral, which gave
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-08-25

rise to the remark that Friend Joseph was the "White Quaker" to the last.
 Many are the quaint stories told about these old Friends. It is said that William Penn's father was so irate at his sons refusal to doff his hat to any man. that on more than one occasion he hid all Williams headgear to force him to give in. But Penn stuck to his principles. Even in the presence of Charles II. he remained covered, whereupon he removed. his own hat observing that it was the custom at Whitehall for only one man to wear his hat at time.
 One Frivolous" Friend was foud of sport. and used to hunt in pink His dressed was denounced as being gay and ''unseemly." and when he died Git is believed from fall in the hunting field) it was with great difficulty that his friends obtained leave to bury him at the meeting house. The story runs that it having been decreed that his body should not be permitted to pass through the gates, the coffin was lifted over the palings.
 At the present time the meetings at Jordans are held only once year. usu- ally at the end of May, or as the Friends themselves quaintly express 1t, the first day of the fourth week of the fifth month. The old sect has died out. and but few Friends live in the immediate neighborhood. Nevertheless the meeting is largely attended by Friends who come from afar and by members of other denominations. Nor is Jordans left alone or forgotten dur ing the other months of the year. for the visitors book shows how many come from all parts of the world 10 see the old place. Most are perhaps Amer jeans of whom the caretaker has been heard to say: Americans come from all parts of America and New York"
 The beautiful surroundings of this little Quaker building cannot hut charm all who visit it. especially in the spring time when the beech woods are covered with their first young green. the ground carpeted with primroses or wild hyacinths. and the air laden with the scent of white violets. A haven of rest and of peace Is this old-vorld building. that for more than two cen- turies has stood intact. in spite of the many changes fin the outer world. and the controversies that Nave rares win in its very doors. If only the walls could speak,

A Misplaced
 Infdtuution
bv MILL REED DUNROY.

Y OWE is a very strange thing, | whether it be in novels or just here in plain, prosaic Chicago. There is no telling how it is going to affect those who catch the disease, if it is a disease, as some scientists affirm, and the antics it makes people do are legion.
 To some love comes like a sudden burst of sunlight, and after that the world becomes a perfect heaven or a perfect place of torment, according as to how the one loved treats the one loving. Some learn to love gradually and there are those who say this is the best plan, as love thus developed lasts the longer. Be that as it may, the story following is one that deals with the sudden sunburst love and the attendant melodramatic 'conse- quences.
 Walter Graham is tn. hero of the tale, and in this case he happens to be young clerk with salary which is barely adequate for his own neces- sities and the few dissipations in which he indulges. Once in awhile he takes trip across the lake of a Sun day, and it was on one of these trips that he fell in love.

out of the way spot for the erection of their meeting house, for, if remote now, how much more remote must 1t have been when 1t was first built 200 years ago.
 : During the year 1887 a momentary peace was granted to the>Quakers by the declaration of indulgence. It was then that Jordans was built. They do not seem to have been long left undis- turbed, as one frequently reads of sol diers rushing in at their meetings, and the Friends themselves being made to pay heavy fines, or even being thrown into prison. To protect their women from persecution, the gallery in which they sat, was provided with sliding shutters. which were hastily closed in the event of an intrusion. Thus were dame and damsel safely concealed till all danger was past.
 Before the present Jordans was built meetings were held in farmhouse on the top of the hill close by. The build- ing is still standing. known as Jordans farm. It probably took it's name from

the merriment had him for it's butt.
 How did Graham happen to fall overboard?" asked member of the party.
 He tripped over my foot" giggled Violet.
 My, but didn't his flannel suit shrink, though exclaimed the girl.
 Tt was fortunate accident though, wasn't it?" queried Violet, with a roguish twinkle in her eye.
 T do remember now that you told the girl you would see her out of her difficulty" remarked Violet's young man. And I'm not so sure but that accident was well planned"
 Well, I told her I'd help her out, and it seems that helped him out, too," said Violet.
 And Graham does not know till this day how much mischief there was in that ccident-Chicago Chronicle.

What on earth am going to do with Graham?" she whispered to her friend Violet.
 Leave the matter to me-" replied the friend. T will help you out. have been mixed up in just that kind of trouble many times, and am sure can assist you"
 Thus assured, the girl plucked up courage and her face grew as bright as the day. In due season they ar rived at the lake and the first thing Vio- let suggested was a sail on the blue eX- panse of water.
 Graham was enthusiastic, and he con trived to get a boat in which Violet and her young man should accompany the girl and himself This left the girls young man on shore, and he scowled and fumed right heartily until Violet got an opportunity to whisper some thing in his ear, and then he smiled, also.
 As the boat pulled out from the shore the young man was left chuckling to him. self, and seemed thoroughly resigned to the fate of remaining on shore
 The little boat plowed through the blue waters of the lake, and all went well until the girls decided they wished to let who suggested it, and an attempt was made to make the change, when Ora ham, in some unaccountable manner, was tipped into the water.
 The girls screamed, and tried to save him, but over he went, flannel suit and all, and when he came up he clutched at the side of the boat and hung thre like limp, white rag.
 After deal of excitement and trou- ble, he was hauled aboard the boat, and the little party returned. There was much excitement when young Graham was landed at the little boat pier like drowned rat, and, of course, he had to hurry to the cot tage, for he was as wet as could be. Everybody seemed to feed badly about the accident, but there was noth- ing for Graham to do but hide from sight. His flannel suit was ruined, and he had no other clothes with him.
 The girl, of course, had to fall back on her own young man as an escort, and Violet and her young man soon joined the girl. and everything was as lovely as could be.
 Graham remained in the cottage all day long. After his flannel suit had been dried in the sun he found that it had shrunk so he could not possibly be seen in it, for the trousers came nearly to his knees, and the coat sleeves stopped short at the elbows.
 Poor Graham was compelled to re- main indoors all day, while the other members of the party had great good time. Finally when night came on and 1t drew near train time the poor, unfortunate young man, under cover of the darkness, sought the

It was not until 1887 that 1t was decided to erect a meeting house in the little plot of ground acquired some IS years previously for a burial ground. On October 17. 1888. the first meeting was held at New Jordans." Here it was that the great founder of Pennsylvania. William Penn. used to worship. and here. after all his travels. trials and tribulations. he rests in the peaceful little sanctuary near his first and beloved wife. Gulielma.
 And Jordans seemed to have been the rallying point of all his voyages. Perhaps the fact that he first met Gu lielma Springett there in a measure &C., counts for his deep love of the place. though he was not married al the meeting house. but al Kings farm.

How very few Of the many thousands who visit Windsor or Burnham Beeches, ever realize that scarce six miles away is to be found the most perfect relic of the old Puritan day. For here on the crossroads two miles from the posting town of Bea- consfield, the Quakers erected one of their oldest and most important meet ing houses known as Jordans.
