set UP near Baltimore few years ago.
It is concrete shaft about four feet
in height surmounted by sun dial
and is a memorial to Adam, The First
Man. A resident of Baltimore con-
ceived the idea that Adam deserved
some sort of a memorial and at once
set about to see that our common
ancestor was so honored. At first he
sought a place for it in the city but
the City Fathers did not look with
favor on the memorial so the man de-
cided to erect 1t on the lawn of his
country home about five miles from

caused a sensation and hundreds OF
people journeyed out to see the unique
shaft which stands upon the lawn

and never fails to attract attention.
Detroit has still another curious
monument-this one set up in honor
of the two hundredth anniversary OF
the city's foundation by the distin-
guished French military officer. An
tome Cadillac. There is nothing out
of the ordinary in a monument to the
memory or the founder of a city, but
it is the style of this one which puts
1t in the something different class
1t being a huge, carved brownstone
chair set up in the middle Of the street
in the busiest part Of the city. It is
said to be a copy of the chair in
which Cadillac sat when he signed the
charter for the city. The founder of
Detroit was born in Gascony OF q
noble French family. He spent some
time in Acadia as a captain in the
French Army. In 1924 he was ap-
pointed by Frontenac to the command
of Michilimackinac There he re-
NAMED for several years and during
this time he laid before King Louis
XIV a plan for a permanent settle

San Francisco has a unique monu-
ment in the shape OF a baseball player
which is dedicated TO industry and
ability. That the name of the donor
be kept a secret was one of the con-
ditions under which It was presented

statue Is a beautiful one the baseball
player is scarcely the ideal of industry
and ability. While he may be an able
and efficient ball player one hardly as
sociatas the game with industry, for
it is distinctively sport and its dedi-
cation strikes one as a misnomer. The
figure was modelled from life and Is
an excellent likeness Of John Mont

The Governments Contribution.
The United States Government. too,
is responsible for chain OF queer
markers OF monuments which show
the line between Mexico and the Unit
ed States from the Pacific Ocean to
the Rio Grande. They are huge
granite shafts not unlike battlefield
memorials and are surrounded by iron
fences. There is nothing either ar
tistic or beautiful about them, their
only merit being their size.
Another monument, while beautiful
as a work OF art seems out OF order
in the United States. 1t Is that OF
Joan of Arc, which stands on River
side Drive in New York City. The
golden figure of the militant Joan on
charger Jocks out with raised sword
over the fordly Hudson. While the
whole makeup OF the memorial is ar
tistic in the extreme one wonders why
this martial lady who had nothing
whatever to do with our country's his
tory should be so honored. However,
the monument adds one more to the
something different" memorials Of
our land.

Gilbert Canaan admits q misunder-

American edition of "Windmills," but
avOws firmly that ''the attempt to re-
move militarism and military concep-

with the only weapon l know how to
use-the pen-which they say is
mightier than the sword or even the
howitzer. Having applied myself to
this service before the outbreak of
the great war, which for me began in
1911, was not to be diverted from

were overtaken by the calamity rath-

In Which Abe Returns From VandaIia
and Is Engaged to Ann, and Three
interesting Slaves Arrive at the
Home of Samson TrayIor, Who,
With Harry Needles, Has an Ad-
venture of Much importance on the
Underground Road.
Abe came back from the legislature
to resume his duties as postmaster.
The evening Of his arrival he went to
see Ann. The girl was in poor health.
She had had no news of McNamar
since January. Her spirit seemed to
be broken. They walked together up
and down the deserted street of the
little village that evening. Abe told
her of his life in Vandalia and of his
hopes and plans.
my greatest hope is that you will
feel that you can put up with me-" he
said. II would try to learn how TO
make you happy. 1 think if you would
help me a little I could do it."
"If you want me to, 1 will marry
you. Abe" said she. 81 cannot say
that I love you, but my mother and
father say that | would learn to love
you, and sometimes think it is true.
I really want to love yOu."
They were on the bluff that over
looked the river and the deserted mill.
They were quite alone looking down
at the moonlit plains. A broken sigh
came from the lips of the tall young
man. He wiped his eyes with his
handkerchief. He took her hand in
both of his and pressed 1t against his
breast and looked down into her face
and said:
Il wish I could tell you what Is In
my heart There are things this
tongue of mine could say. but not
that. 1 shall show you. but shall not
try to tell you. Words are good
enough for politics aud even for the
religion of most men, but not for this
love l feel. Only in nay life shall
try TO express it"
He held her hand as they walked on

Meanwhile we will all help you to take
care of yourself. You don't look we'll
She kissed his cheek and he kissed
hers when they parted at the door of
the tavern.
II am sure I shall love you," she
whispered.
'ThOSe are the best words that ever
came to my ears" he answered, and
left her with a solemn sense Of his
commitment
Soon after that Abe went to the
north line of the county to do some
surveying. and on his return, in the
last week of May, came out for talk
with the Traylors
That was the 26th of May, 1885, a
date of much Importance in the cal
endar of the Traylors. 1t had been a
clear, warm day, followed by cloud
less, starry night, with a chilly breeze
blowing. Between eleven and twelve
o'clock Sarah and Samson were
awakened by the hoot of an owl in
the doOryard. In q moment they heard
three taps on a window pane. They
knew what it meant. Both got out
Of bed and into their clothes as quick
ly as possible. Samson lighted can
die and put some wood on the fire.
Then he opened the door with the
candle in his hand. A stalwart, good
looking mUlatto man, with a smooth
shaven face, stood IN the doorway.
''Is the coast clear2" he whispered.
"All clear" Samson answered, in
q low tone.
"I'lI be back In minute" said the
negro, as he disappeared in the dark
ness. returning presently with two
women. both very black. They sat
down In the dim light Of the cabin.
Harry. who had been awakened by
the arrival OF the strangers, came down
the ladder.
