Twenty yoke of oxen drew the whig Sc

In the town square this part OF Plymouth

when a committee of the council resolved to
move II back TO its original position and
join It as best they could to the other half.
Accordingly, in 1884, on the morning OF the

Something About the Man.
Paul Mango came to this country from
Australia sixteen years ago. He is a chef
by occupation. He came first to Boston,
and was steward in the Union club. From
there he went 70 the Army and Navy club,
in Washington, where, in the course of his
work as steward. he met many prominent
men. He gave the club the reputation of
setting the best table in that city. He then
moved to Providence, where he became su-
perintendent OF the Providence Athletic
club. He was for three years proprietor OF
the Pawtuxet club. II was at that place
that he met the greatest misfortune of his
life. The Motel burned down one night,
and with It was swept away all the saw
ings OF years.
That is Paul Mango. the man who went
with the prosecuting attorney but de-
manded proof; the man whose heart went
out for the women in the case. but who de-
manded proof; the man who prayed to his
God, but-demanded proof. His ambition
is to be known as a good American citizen.
and he trusts that, in the end, his life will

PLYMOUTH ROCK OF TODAY
SO-CaIIed Cradle of New England n
Thriving Town and object
of Interest.

Plymouth has been called the cradle Of
New England. It is on the coast, thirty
eight miles south of Boston, and is a thriv-
ing and prosperous New England town,
with good schools and churches and town
hall and shops of all kinds and comfortable
homes.
On the nat strip OF land that runs for
miles up and down the shore OF the bay the
diminutive white houses of the fishermen
are crowded together. In the center OF the
same nat land strip, hanked on both sides
by the fshermen's homes, Is large open
square forty yards from the water front.
Here stands Plymouth rock, the FIRST sight
OF which gives one a mental shock, for no
doubt fancy has pictured an immense bowl
der rising grandly out OF the sea, but in
stead the visitor sees only an oblong, ir-
regularly shaped gray sandstone rock
twelve feet in length and hve feet In width

which has been filled with cement and
which gives to Plymouth rock highly arti-

is a bit OF unique history and bears evil

divided the inhabitants into two factions.

bitter wrangling between the opposing par
ties and It even settled down upon the
