similar policy was adopted at the Isle

MINISTER.

Plymouth Mass, Nov. 29-Several
long cherished traditions among de-
scondants of the Pilgrims have been
given body blows by Rev. w. W. Dor
nan, pastor OF the Church of the Pill
grimage. According to Mr.. Dornan.
the naive query of Priscilla. "Why
don't you speak for yourself, John,
is merely poetic fancy. John Alden
never came TO Priscilla Mullins as
spokesman for Miles Standish. but
courted Priscilla for himself, says the
pastor. lie also afirms that Captain
Standish did not want Priscilla, any

Pastor Dornan assails the story
about the crack in Plymouth Rock.
He says we have the wrong date for
the landing of the Pilgrims, and init
mates that the Pilgrim fathers, and
mothers, too, hardly let their hus-
bands and wives get cold in the
ground ere they married again.
Fixes Pilgrims Landing.
Pastor Dornan said: 1T is not my
purpose TO antagonlze, but many OF
the old traditions connected with Pill
grim history are absolutely ground
less.
'First, l would say that the Pill
grims landed here the 21st of Decom-
ber 1920. and not the 22nd. as most
persons believe. When the historians
figured out the dates after the chang
ipor fro,,, ia. C,r.,r1,.i,,, 4, IA. d..
ian calendar they forgot when they
substracted the necessary ten days
that all the events took place over a
century back, and | find that the 21st
was the real date
Mr.. Dornan denounced those who
allowed the figures Of 1920 to be in
scriDed on Plymouth Rock. He said;
II consider that act one of the
grossest sacrileges ever perpetrated
That rock is far more sacred than the
temples of old which are guarded with
jealous care
Miles Standisn Tale Exploded.
'Show me-" ne said, "where is there
any history which says that Captain
Miles Standish ever courtod Priscilla
Mullins. The doughty captain fresh
from the loss Of his beloved wife. Rose
would naturally have looked back L.
her sister in England, and the only in
stance / have ever heard in history
was some mention of this fact. John
Alden courted and won Priscilla Null
Inns for himself and himself alone.
The Pilgrims did not believe in liv-
ing single long after the death of a
wife or husband. The mother of Pere-
CRIME White the first white child borr
in America, was married to Gov. Win
slow when she was but twelve weeks
a widow, and he was but eight weeks

Marion has trained hundreds of chorus

Offerings were light and so We're bids.
News was rather lacking in vital in

weak and at other times appeared
strong Both conditions were result of

and mayhap float out to sea, but the sentiment
of the occasion is served
AS death has year by year remorselessly
thinned the ranks of the Grand Army OF the
Republic the Confederate Veterans and other or
CARNATIONS of onetime soldiers there has or
necessity been a change in the plan OF bearing
flowers to the cemeteries and decorating the
graves of those who have answered to the call
of taps" The approved plan was to nave IN
each community the significant day a process
sion to the cemetery in which the principal par
Elephants little girls dressed in white, each
carrying a huge bouquet or basket OF flowers
and marching beside or behind these flower
bearers an equal number of veterans, each with
a wreath of evergreen or holly or ivy on his
arm When the procession arrived at the Gene
terry the participants distributed themselves
throughout the burying ground until a little girl
with flowers and veteran with wreath stood
beside each grave marked with tiny American
flag. Then at prearranged signal all the flowers
and wreaths were placed simultaneously upon the
graves of the comrades whom death has mus
tered out"
This impressive ceremony, and there could be
nothing appropriate, is yet followed in
countless communities, but there have had to be
many notifications. For one thing the graves
to be decorated have become much more numer-
Gus, whereas the number of surviving veterans
who are able to march to the cemetery with
their wreaths has dwindled appreciably. solu-
ton has been found, in many places, by drafting
or other organizations made up of children of
old soldiers and also veterans of the Spanish
American war many of whom comparatively
young men and who sufficiently numerous to
decorate the graves of their own fallen comrades
and also the resting places of the heroes of the
earlier wars
Another factor that has operated to influence
a change in the use of flowers on Memorial day
is the growth in the size of many of cities.
In towns and small cities it is still practicable
for the Decoration day host to march to the GENE
terry but in all the larger cities it has become very
much of a problem In many instances cemeteries
are so remote from the central part of the city
that it is unwise to ask aged veterans to attempt
to march and out of the question to allow flower
girls of tender years to trudge through the streets
for hours at stretch Consequently it has be-
come customary under such circumstances to
convey the flowers In quantities to the cemeteries
and there distribute them to those who are to
participate in the decorating program. For this
delivery of flowers the modern motor has
proven q most convenient vehicle and in all
large cities on the morning of Memorial day one
NAV now see the heavily laden flower cars"
spinning along their way to the cemeteries
The speedy horseless vehicles have also proven
a boon in the collecting of the flowers for

needed for the great memorial ornamentation
And speaking of the interurban electric lines
If NAV be added that these roads now make it

der the old conditions, could not readily be
reached by members of the organizations Oh vet
Grams and other bodies that aim to see to 1t that
no soldiers grave is unadorned on THIS slghncah1
occasion , .
Almost every known variety of flowers that
bloom in the spring is employed to greater or
less extent on Decoration day, but naturally the
wild flowers of the season are especially popular
for this purpose. In the sections Wnere the
season is sufficiently advanced the roses ana
peonies are great favorites on this occasion anu
in the cooler cmes vioets and the hardy 'pnks
are used extensively In the more soutnernly
states the yellow jasmine and the honeysuchle

seems as though Memorial day has been tlmed
to find the gorgeous purple wistar1a at the climax
of its glory The mountain laurel is another
floral favorite that lends itself to the purposes
of the holiday, but of course 1t is not oDtalnaole
in all sections of the country
In recent years the of natural flowers on
Memorial day has been supplemented by the ex
tensive use of artificial flowers, particularly IN
the form of wreaths or designs emblematic OF
wartime badges or flags. However, the ART
flower designs" of the present day are indeed
a revelation compared with the cfude attempls
of some years ago. Some of the Decoration day
designs are executed in metal tinted to counter
felt nature and this form is of course very
permanent, but most artistic effects of lasting
character are also being obtained by means OF
fine waxed crepe paper flowers Such designs
are being employed to increasing extent IN
der all circumstances where it is necessary to
send Memorial day designs long distances How
ever the White House at Washington which
sends such remembrances to various parts OF
the country, always employs natural flowers from

years; 1 want you to tell me something.
ooh, yes, Mary you look just as young and
yirlish you did the first time l ever saw
you; 1 have learned to love you more and more
as the years have drifted by; l wouldn't be free
again if I had a chance; if you were to die
shouldn't think of marrying any other woman,
but I'd spend the rest of my life pining for you;
1 admit that your family is much superior to
mine; 1 realize that never should have amounted
to anything if it had not been for your influence;
you are the best manager ever saw; your new
spring hat is very becoming; you look fifteen
years younger than Mrs. Bransthwaite; yes. I
like very much the way you are wearing your
hair; 1 think of you steadily all day; I am sure
that any young who would look at
twice would do so only because she wished to

make a much better showing than any other
