THE PILGRIMS THANKSGIVING

f\HE pilgrims landed, worthy men,
And, saved from wreck on raging
seas,
They fell upon their knees and then
Upon the aborigines.
In thankfulness they planned a feast
On all the country might afford.
The grace consumed an hour at least,
Whence rose the phrase 1.-THE festive
bored.)
And some through groves of pine and oak
Pursued the doe, and even so
All patriotic Yankee folk
Increasingly pursue the dough.
They bearded bruin in his lair
Or stalked the stag in forests drear.
Alas, their festal dish was bear
Or v%enison, though that was deer.
Still. native viands pleased them most
TIL native maize, for that was new.
They ate the native boiled and roast
And even ate the native stew.

then follow Tyttyl and Myltyl through
the various adventures in their quest
of the Blue Bird. Few would care
for the part. In the first place, the
dogs suit is extremely hot; in the sec
ond place. you can't see very we'll
through the awkward head Of Tylo,
and, in the third place, it's about the
most tiresome work in the world.
Mr.. Wendell, however, declares he
loves his part. He stepped into the
ranks Of professionalism at the New
theater, New York, last year. He was
then a star of the Amateur Comedy
club.
The reason that Mr.. Wendell is so
fond of his part in 1.-The Blue Bird is
because he IS a great lover of dogs.
He got his Interpretation of the char
acter of Tylo from his fox terrier,
Dick, that for fourteen years was his
chum and companion. 1t was from
Dick that he grew to understand the
happiness and faithfulness of the dog
which Maeterlinck shows in the play.

WILLIAM J. FLYNN,

WILLIAM J. FLYNN.
Mayor Gaynor has promised to attend
to that end Of the battle. 1t is intend
ed that for the first time since King
Georges sway was overthrown New
York city shall have detectives in fact
and not policemen attired in civilian
costume. AS each policeman must
continually meet certain physical re-
Quirements, the detective force con-
sists Of men gigantic in physique. but
often pygmies in intellect.
That is the basis on which the Unit
ed States government runs its secret
service and postotiice inspection corps,
and consequently it has real detectives.
Curiously enough, Flynn. though Sc
cret service detective through and
through, looks like a policeman, for he
Is huge physically. lie began his ma
lure career as a plumber, but got into
the governments detective work in
1897 and after a year and a half of it
was put in charge of the Pittsburg
division and then was transferred to
New York. where he has been in
charge for about ten years.
Flynn won his spurs in the secret
service chiefly by his skill in rounding
up counterfeiters, but he has handled
many big matters that required deli.
cacy and insight. When the Russian
and Japanese peace commissioners held
their session Mt Portsmouth, N. H., it
was Flynn who was assigned to su.
perintend the guard kept over the Wis.
ttors' lives. Other notable foreign Wis.
1tors have also been placed in the care
OF Flynn, and he has never failed. He
has also made a reputation by his
skill in secret investigations made for
the state department at the request of
foreign governments.
Flynn's amusements are Of a simple
character. In fact, this big crime de.
tector admits that he would rather
spend all his spare time in his garden
among his flowers, vegetables and
truck than attend a baseball game,
even, and that is a pastime that stands
high in his estimation. He used to
play semiprofessional ball himself,
and that may account for his fondness
for attending the big league contests
in New York. His garden, by the
way, is n of the few remaining on
Manhattan Island.

POLLY, 1919 VETERAN.
that those vessels are scrap iron, while,
she, the privateering terror Of the war
of 1912, is still transacting business
and will probably be doing the same
when some modern Dreadnoughts are
at the bottom of the ocean or being
bid in by junk dealers.
Though 1O5 years of age. the Polly
made the trip from Boston to New
York to receive the memorial tablet
and beat out the Oliver Ames, the
largest two masted schooner af1oat, in
doing so. The tablet donors, the New
York Chapter of the Daughters of
1912, could not make the trip to Mas
sachusetts, SO the Polly and her own
er o%bligingly came to them, stopping
for a few days the coastwise trade In
which she is now engaged.
A little trip like that is nothing to the
Polly, for she has been around the
world twice and rounded Cape Horn
six times, carrying cargoes from New
York to California during the gold
PUSHES Of 1910.
Captain Joseph II. Weldon. the pres
ent skipper. who says he purchased
the Polly for purely sentimental rea-
sons, proudly displayed his vessel to
the Daughters. The boat is sixty-one
feet over all and is built along Dutch
naval lines with broad bow and grace

Though Drummond himself is poor,

While her sons, now at Eton, are heirs

In marrying the Englishman Mrs.
Drummond tossed aside several offers
OF titled foreigners. Their honeymoon
consisted largely Of a hunting trip to
Africa.

tablet setting forth the little priva-
teer's conquests during the war Of
1912, the original owner made money
and glory while alive, so the recent
ceremony at q New York wharf was
sentimental rather than essential.
Though born, or rather built, in 1905,
the Polly is still sailing the raging

could easily be blown out of the water

period. She can remember blithely

ability" Thus the pull" loses caste.
This new move on the part Of Mayor
Gaynor has attracted wide interest in
Americas biggest center Of population,
often called the 'city Of undetected
crime" When the mayor decided to
reorganize his police department he
selected James c. Cropsey, a Brooklyn
lawyer, for police commissioner, who
h the judicial head; Clement j. Dris-
coll. former newspaper man, first dep
uty, who is to clean the Augean sta
bles OF crime, and the second deputy,
Flynn. who is to hunt the criminals
and head the criminal hunters.
To the general public Flynn has
been a nonentity because. not having
served In the Gotham police depart
ment before, he has not been accused
Of graft, politics and the like. In fact,
the city had to raid the federal secret
service to find its new chief Of the de-
tective bureau.
The appointment Of Flynn means a
new departure for New York, and an
attempt will be made to organize some
thing approaching the effective Scot
land Yard of London. which, though
often made ridiculous by writer's, is
nevertheless a systematic and power
full preventer rather than detector of
crime.
