TRAGEDY THE ROCKS TOLD.
Story Of a Murder Nearly 100 Years
Ago Graphically Declared.

Among the many romantic spots
In Western Pennsylvania none Is
better known, perhaps, than White
Rocks, near Uniontown. This par
0cular spot was made famous by
Philip Rogers willfully casting Polly
Williams, to whom he was engaged,
down the face of the rocks into the
dark depths below, causing her death.
This event, which occurred in Au-
gust, 1910, has been done in song and
story, but the plain facts have never
been related more clearly than by
Charles B. Pennington Of Carmi-
chaels, Pa.
Polly Williams parents moved
from Fayette county, Pennsylvania.
into Ohio" said Mr., Pennington,
leaving Polly in the care of a neigh
Dor family to be married to her be-
trayer, Philip Rogers. The couple
stole of together n day. she from
hts work, / believe at an uncle's, and
met at an appointed place. She, 1t is
supposed, was under the impression
that he was going to take her to a
preacher to be married. Some time
afterward a couple Of girls were gath
ering huckleberries at the White
Rocks and noticed a small piece OF
clothing on a bush near the edge of
q rock. They looked over the preci-
pice and saw a dead person lying be-
low, which, on investigation, proved
to be Polly Williams.
Rogers owed his freedom from JUS
tice to the efforts of his lawyer, but
II IS said that he lived a miserable
life. and some who knew him said he
scarcely ever slept but would lie IN
bed and chew tobacco all through the
night"

Landscape Painting

T ANDSCAPE painting is a comparatively
IL modern art. 1t was unknown among
the ancients, and it was not until the sixteenth
century that, through the efforts of Titan, it
came into popularity.
Of course, long before the time of this painter
the Italian masters did skies and forests and
mountains; but these were purely subordinate
to other objects, and were not painted for the
sole sake of the landscape. Perhaps landscape
painting was not adopted sooner because of
the superstitions which the ancients connected
with the lonely forests and mountains.

I'd envy no man-not II
Nor chafe that youth must so long endure,
Nor crave that the years slip by,

If | were boy again.

had accepted money for races instead
OF trophies. The fact that they after
