Somewhat back from the towns main
street, stands a curious old retreat;
there in his dignity once sat, thanked
by a solemn office cat man once
known to legal fame and Henry Ho-
gan is his name.
Shut off by only pine-wood rail-
wearing a Chinese hirsute tail, blink
ing Celestial held his court and burn
ed his punk sticks, sold and bought.
And only just across the room, whose
floor had seldom seen a broom, pol
ished bench held visitants, who, hour
by hour spun wild romance.
Through the chinks of the mouldy
floor the fumes of opium used to soar
and the click of dice ofttimes, fear
could be heard through the portal in
the rear.
Ger Hogan's desk, as a sign Of hope,
there hung a portrait ofthe Pope, and
the Chinese punk sticks odorousness
was incense to His Holiness.
The nations flocked to Hogan's door
to learn of his ancient legal lore, or to
barter with the wise Chinee, or Mr..
Mossman for to see.
In happy moments, Hogan'd sing, or
tear the poets wing from wing, and the
inspiration sometimes came from a
magic cup with liquid flame.
Now Mossman's gone from Hawaii to
escape arrest for vagrancy, and Ho-
gan's at home in a padded cell and
around about him maniacs yell.
One night when Hogan had slipped
the juice, of the grape, and the door
of the calaboose was yawning to greet
his lettering lurch. he sought him a
sanctuary in a church.
And in that dim religious light
where it was neither day nor night
his poet fancy ran amuck and he sang
to the images, just for luck.
He patted each saint on his waxen
back and fetched St. Peter an awful
crack; he lirted with angels in the
gloom and topsy-turvied that holy
room.
Perhaps poor Hogan thought he'd
died and journeyed far to thu other
side, to meet the whole high heavenly
host and greet them all with a Hogan
toast:
Here's to the pleasures we know
and the pains that we can't under
stand; let us be merry below, happy in
heart, head and hand; our souls are
too great for our minds and our minds
are too big for our bones; let's grow
fat on our laughter, no matter what's
after, to hell with the signs and the

He had not proceeded far when he
met an old gentleman with a big re-
volver accompanied by a younger
man with 4 lantern. They stated that

Bronze Tablet Concentrating Establish
ment OF Massachusetts Bay Colony to
Be Unveiled Same Day at Gloucester.

Boston, Aug. 1.-two of the most
noteworthy episodes in the first six
months of Massachusetts history, oc-
curing on opposite shores of her ia
nous bay will receive suitable mcmo-
rails within the next 10 days. At Prov
incetOwn. Aug. 20. in the presence of
President Roosevelt and Il distinguish
ed company, will be laid the corner
stone Of monument erected to recall
the place where the Pilgrims finished
their long voyage, where they drew up
their historic pact in the cabin of the
Mayflower, and where few of them
first stepped on American soil Five
days earlier, Aug. Is, at Gloucester 40
miles across the bay from Province
town, Il bronze tablet on the face of Il
great ledge overlooking the harbor
will he unveiled to commemorate the
first settlement by the Massachusetts
Bay colony The landing at Province
town took place on Nov 16, 1920, while
the settlement at what is now Stage
Fort park Gloucester, occurred the fol-
lowing May.
The monument at Provincetown is
controversy between PrOvincetOwn and
Plymouth over the question as to
which place had the prior claim to the
Pilgrim Fathers. It's erection is due to
the enterprise Of the Cape Cod Monu-
ment Association, an organization
headed by Capt. j. Henry Sears OF
Brewster which has raised $4,000
through public and private subscrip-
tiGn the federal government contribut-
ing $4,000. the state $4,000 and tho
town $4,000 of the amount. The memo
rial is to be located on the top OF
Town hill. the highest land in the town
from which it will rise to a height %
$50 feet. Ii will be built of granite. ant
is intended to serve as n day beacon
to the incoming mariner.
The exercises of laying the corner
stone will be in charge of the Crane
Lodge Of the Masonic order of Massa
chusetts. and Grand Master J. Henri.

dent Roosevelt will arrive in Province
