F0REFATHERS' DAY

This is Forefathers' Day in Massa- chusetts, the anniversary. of the land ing of the Pilgrims from the Mayf1ow- CT on Plymouth Rock in 1920. Prepa- rations have already been commenced for the celebration of the tercenten- ary of that historic event four years hence. Immediately after landing the Pilgrims began to build fort. This was a square house with a flat roof, made of thick sawed blanks, stayed with oak beams, upon which were mounted six five-pounder cannon. The lower part of this edifice was used for religious services, where worship pers prayed with loaded muskets by their sides. After completing the fort the Massa chusetts pioneers fell to building houses,' and they toiled industrious1y until nearly all were prostrated. by illness. The first win- ter was spent in rude huts, which were at times half buried by the snow. The colonists had little to eat, and they were in deadly fear of the Indians, un- til one day Samoset, who had learned a few English words from sailors, went through the village shouting, welcome, Englishmenl Welcome Englishmen" The houses of the Plymouth Settlement were built of, hewn timber. The town lay on a slope,' and was surrounded by a wall of timbers driven into the ground and pointed at the top, with three gates made of strong beams affording exit and entrance.

WAITER BROUGHT. HIM WRONG KIND OF PIE, HE SAYS
That's What Caused Rain of Crockery in Restaurant,
 Says Hogan.

Paul Hogan, of 240 Fairfield ave- nue, eats his meals in a restaurant, at AT Main street, where they serve a full course dinner for two bits,'' he tells the police. When it came time for him to top off his dinner with demi tasse and pie, the waiter brought him the wrong kind and he asked for his favorite pineapple make.
 The waiter wouldn't bring it. The place wasn't Rector's and he couldn't expect all outdoors for a slim quar- ter At least this is the way the waiter apparently looked at it. They argued. The waiter lost his temper, he gave Hogan a whole pie over the head, shampooed him with a bowl of soup and then broke the crockery over the particular patrons skull.
 A cup missed it's object and struck another customer in the forehead, splitting it. Other innocent non combatants stopped dishes and soon the air rained with plates, cups and saucers, those being hit resenting it by hurling their eating utensils al whoever hit them.
 The police stepped into the fray and arrested Hogan. Judge Frederic Bartlett found he was not to blame and nolled the case. The police are desirous of talking to the waiter who can't be found.

WINTER IS DUE
 THIS EVENING

This is the last day of autumn, and King Winter will begin his reign this evening" It Is also the shortest day of the year-especially for those who have Christmas shopped early. Astrelogically, to-day marks the be- ginning of the Capricorn period, the symbol of which is the goat-which will be considered quite appropriate by many hard-pressed fathers of fam flies, who wouldn't have to hesitate an instant to name the "goat."
 The winter solstice is the time when the sun enters the tropic of Capri corn, and it is this celestial situation that makes this the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. South of the equator, on the contra ry, this is the summer solstice, and in consequence the longest day of the year. The sun, which now devOtes so little of his time to us, is in the full power of his glory in the southern hemisphere.

THE KINGDOM OF ARABIA.

The Kingdom of Arabia-there is romance and mystery in the very name of the new nation which is now appealing for recognition to the United States and other countries Born of revolt against the Turks, led by El iHussein ibn Ali, the Grand Sheriff of Mecca, aided by his three warlike sons, the new monarchy seems to have established it's sway not only in Mecca, the holy city of the Moslem world, but in alf the towns along the Red Sea littoral. One of the results of this revolution has been to remove any fear of holy war on the part of the Mohammed- ans in the British and French depen- dencies, as the Grand Grand .Sheref, by espousing the Allied cause, has brought about division in the Mos lem ranks that renders any concert ed revolt impossible. It is reported from Egypt that the first work of the Grand Sheref, as monarch of the Arabian kingdom, was to give Mecca a thorough cleaning, not only of the dirt and filth that had accumulated through centuries of Turkish misrule, but also of the human riff-raff who formerly preyed on the pious pilgrims to the Mohammedan< Holy City. The State Department at Washington has received several communications from the new government dated from Mecca and signed by Sheref Abdul1ah as Secretary of Foreign Af- fairs. He Is supposed to be the e1d- est son of the new King of Arabia. One of these communications was a protest "to the civilized world' against the alleged cruelty and brll- tality of the Turkish government in it's treatment of prisoners. It is be- lieved that the Arabian Kingdom has the support of the British, French, Italian and Russian governments and that they will demand it's perpetua- tion after the war,

MARION HARLAND'

Mrs. Mary Virginia Terhune,
 known to the readers of three gen.
 erations as Marion Harland," was
 born in Amelia county, Va, S6 years
 ago to-day. Her father was Samuel
 P Hayes, a native of Massachusetts.
 who had established mercantile
 business in the Old Dominion. Miss
 Hawes was educated by governesses
 and in private schools, and at the age
 of IA years began to contribute to a
 Richmond paper. At 16 she wrote
 magazine sketch entitled, Marrying
 Through Prudential Motives" In
 1866 she became the bride of the Rev.
 Edward Payson Terhune, who died in 1907. More than 0 score of volume
 now bear the name of Marion Har-
 1and,' including cook books and
 works on domestic science and eti- quite, and numerous novels and tales. In some of her literary works, Mrs. Terhune collaborated with her daugh- ters, Christine Terhune Herrick and Virginia Terhune Van de Water, and her son, Albert Payson Terhune. The latter has been connected with the editorial staff of the New York Even ing World for more than 20 years, and is one of the most prolific, ver- satile and entertaining of latter day writers of fiction.
 In a literary career covering more than 70 years, Mrs. Terhune's activ- ities were not confined to the writing of books and magazine articles. She was at various times a member of the staffs of several newspapers, and edited "Babyhood' and '"The Home Maker.
 tI believe,"' Mrs. Terhune told an interviewer early this year, "that my fathers idea that women, as we'll as men, should have a purpose in life dissociated with the personal was an invaluable one. It was very ad- vanced idea for his time. Yet I am safe in saying that, in all the years have tried to follow his teaching, my outlook has been a bigger one than any actuated by the motive of living to please my honored co1ltem- porary-man! lived to do my work to the best of the ability God gave
 me-that's all!"

was talked of, in the North as well as
 the South, as early as 1795 The threat of secession was raised in New Eng land during the second war with Great Britain. In 1928 South Carolina threat ened to secede because of a tariff law obnoxious to cotton planters, and in
 1882, following the passing of the null
 lification ordinance, many South Car o ina statesmen were SO certain that
 the dissolution of the Union was at hand that they caused a medal to be
 struck with the inscription, 'John c.
 Calhoun First President of the South
 ern Confederacy."
