ACCEPTED MANDATE OF FATE
Young English oIdier Proved Him
self Worthy When, Called to Posi-
ton Of Responsibility.

When Rudyard Kipling's The Man
Who Would Be King was published
it was regarded as an excursion into
the improbable, il not the impossible.
It was the Anglo-Saxon Imagination
accepted by the colorfu1 Hindustani
civilization.
But the sober chronicles of the war
have outdone Kipling Thorneycroft,
a twe nty-two-year-old British trooper,
found himself stranded in Turkey
after Townshend's Inflated offensive.
Nothing daunted, he accepted his pre-
dicament as q mandatory OF Fate. He
proceeded to rule over territory con-
tanning 60svillages and 10000 people,
and he ruled them until relieved by
the martial law brought by Allenby's
troops. The son of hotel keeper Of
Bristol, he proved at the test that he
was of imperial fiber.
Truth is stranger than fiction. It
always has been and always will be,
with Tommy Atkins or his first cousin.
the doughboy, as protagonist Each
possesses the comic spirit that means
adaptabflfty, no matter what the emer-
gency.

Marshal Joffre 1 Californian.


Possibly with more reason than the
seven claimants to the birthplace Of
Homer, Catalonia makes out good
case for asserting that Marshal Joffre
belongs to her by right of birth. The
great estopper Of the German first Of
fensive is native of Perpignan,
where the Catalonian race FREEDOM
mated in past ages and where today
are found many families which still
retain Catalonian customs and lam
guage. Leading business firms of
Catalonia, seeking to Establish tangi-
BILE claim, have appointed a, commit
tee which is to proceed to Paris and
present sword to the great warrior,
unless he fulfill a promise made at
the peace conference that he will visit
Catalonia, in which case the presenta-
ton will be made at Barcelona. This,
of course, would be the occasion of a
great celebration.

TO RESTORE HISTORIC SPOT
City Of New Orleans Taking Steps TO
Preserve and Beautify Bienville's
Landing Place.

An effort Is being made in New Or
leans to restore the old historic spots
around the city. With the restoration
Of the old Place d'Armes, the rehabilt-
tation Of the Cabildo and the Pontalba
apartments which surround it, and the
preservation of all as an artistic CEN
ter for the old. French and Spanish
quarter, an effort is being made to re-
store and preserve the landing place
of Bienville, where he first set foot on
the high land in 1920, at the place he
was destined to convert into Nouvelle
Orleans. This landing place, which
lies on the river directly facing the
Place d'Armes, which is now Jackson
square, Is covered with the switch
tracks of the Southern Pacific and
public Belt railroads, and with part
Of the large steel warehouse belonging
to the board of commissioners of the
port Of New Orleans.
Supporters Of the Louisiana State
museum have appealed to the mayor
and the various civic organizations to
have these sheds and railroad tracks
removed at once, inasmuch as the
land, clear from the Cabildo to the
river itself, was appropriated some
time ago to be put in historical and
artistic reserve AS all the water
front of New Orleans and the east
bank of the river belongs to the city
and state forever, the completion Of
the artistic center is sure of accom-
plishment.

Mexicans Hold Strange Beliefs.

8, Few countries are richer in strange
beliefs than. Mexico, writes Charles
Bernard Nordhof in the Atlantic
Monthly There the witches assume
the eyes Of cats and fit through the
night on vampires wings. A brisk
business is done in love potions and
candle flames still point the way to
buried treasure. The Mexican inherits
his cruelty to domestic beasts from
both the Spaniard and the Indian, and
his superstitions may be traced to the
same double source
Eccentricity is not understood in
Mexico. The native is lover Of for
mality, and one is judged largely by
external things. Each man, dresses
according to his station, and it is I'M
thinkable that a well-to-do man should
wear straw sombrero or carry a
serape; the poems would be the first
to jeer at him.

Plymouth Rock Described

Plymouth rock is the most famous.
rock in the new world. Historians
eager to make sensation have
claimed that there is no reliable evil
d d. that the pilgrims, either on their.
voyage Of exploration or. after the
coming Of the Mayfower from Pro-
vlncetown, stepped upon the rock from
their boats, thus touching here for the
t1rst time upon the site where their
settlement was to grow.
Yet the evidence for the authentici-
ty Of the tradition is strong enough to
warrant our believing it. When the
women and children came, it was not
known where the first foot touched
the ground. But when the pilgrim ex-
plorers landed at Clark's island there
IS not much doubt that they stepped
upon the historic rock. No actual con-
temporary record of this was set
down in black and white, but IN their
later years some Of the explorers de-
scrlbed to Elder Faunce the exact
particulars of that landing as they re-
membered them. And he, when an old
man himself, sat by the rock and re-
peated this story, identifying the rock
as the first Plymouth ground trodden
by their feet. There is other con-
flrmatory evidence SO that it seems al
together probable that the tradition is
true. 1t cannot, indeed, be absolutely
proved. But it is sufficiently salts
factory to all except those few who
prefer to doubt everything.
just before the revolution Plymouth
was growing so rapidly about the
waterfront that it seemed probable
that before many years the rock would
be covered by wharf. This reused
the patriotic sentiment of the towns
people and it was decided to remove
the great boulder to place where
commerce could not desecrate it. But
in trying to raise it the rock was split
and the upper portion, being mare
highly regarded, was solemnly taken
to the town square, where it helped
to arouse fervor in the gatherings of
loyal Americans who were beginning
to fret over obnoxious laws imposed
by England. Here it remained for 60
years and then, on the fourth of July,
it was again removed, this time to. a
prominent place in front of Plymouth
hall. Here it stayed for 46 years
longer and it was then taken back to
its rightful position, securely fastened
to the lower portion, which had never
been removed, and later covered with
a granite canopy.
Felicia Hemans, in her English
home, knew about Plymouth rock
when she wrote her famous poem. She
took it for granted that the rock had
many neighbors when she wrote the
familiar line, "On stern and rock
bound coast" It is always hazardous
to write about scenes that one has
never viewed and Mrs. Hemans drew
a good deal on her imagination when
she pictured Plymouth as crock
bound" The pilgrims would have had
to row a long distance to have found
another rock upon which "'the break
ing waves dashed high
It is sometimes believed that the
pilgrims named their town in honor of
the English city where they last saw
their native land. AS matter of fact
they did not name the place. Captain
John Smith had already done that,
and the pilgrims, finding the name,
Plymouth, on his map, retained it..
