THE MONUMENT TO THE
PILGRIMS
BY T. MAXEY

A TOP TOWN HILL in Province
"A town, Massachusetts, looking out
over the restless sea from the great
arm which that state filings out into
it, stands a great and impressive
monument of extraordinary beauty
and great dignity.
This monument, one Of the tallest
on this continent, commentaries the
anchoring of the Pilgrims in the his
tOric MayfOwer in the year 1920, their
adoption of the first charter of a dem
Ocratic government in the history of
the world, the birth of the first white
child born in New England and the
whole chain of happenings which pre-
coded the settlement at Plymouth.
Built entirely of Maine granite,
the construction supervised by the En-
cheering Department of the United
States Army, this structure rests upon
sixty-fOot-square foundation, is
% feet square at the base, approx
mately 252 feet high and the site Is
about 100 feet above the tides. The ar
chitecture is Of the Italian Renaissance
order, the design having been copied
from the tower Of Tore del Mangia
at Siena, Italy.
The site, was provided by Province
town; the cost Of the monument was
betrayed by a joint fund contributed
by Congress, the Commonwealth Of
Massachusetts, the town of Province
town and individuals in all parts of
the country. Dedicatory exercises
were held on August 9th, 1910, the
President of the United States being
in attendance
. This @staunch and magnificent COM
memorative structure, standing in
silent triumph, is typical of the re-
lance and love Of freedom which
characterized this little band In their
battle with the elements and fate and
of their descendants In all parts Of
the world. - -

Enclosed find $500 to pay for
another years subscription for the
Norris Tribune which we cannot get
along without for we like to read all
about our old friends in Morris and
Stevens county. We are all healthy
and feeling fine. We live beside a
beautiful lake where we can go out
fishing anytime we feel like it, An
auto trail and mail route runs beside
our dwelling place, where we can see
cars going by all day long from all
places farther south to look over this
region in Minnesota. Four different
families from Morris visited us last
month, whom we were delighted to
see, and they all thought this was
a very beautiful location. All people
are thriving here and many people
are coming here from southern Min
nesota, Iowa and other places to
settle.
We would like to see all old
friends and neighbors whom we
knew in Norris and vicinity again.
Yours respectfully,

THE NATURAL BRIDGES OF
UTAH
BY T. MAXEY
q, Western Newspaper Union.

II ORTY-FIVE miles north of Bluff,
L in Southwestern Utah, within a
space of about five miles, are three
natural bridges which are understood
to be the largest of their kind in
existence.
Named Sipapu (Gate Of Heaven),
Kachima Guardian Spirit) and Owa-
chomo Crock Mound), these bridges
were discovered in 1895. The three
constitute a National monument, being
so proclaimed by Presidential an
nOuncement in 1908.
The largest of the three has an ex-
IRENE height of 222 feet and is 65
feet thick at the top of the arch,
which is % feet wide 1t has span
of 261 feet, the height of the span
being 157 feet.
One has but to fix those figures in
his mind to gain a fair idea of the
immensely of these wonders which
Nature fashioned from the lofty walls
of White canyon.
Near the monument are some caves
and ruins which are believed to have
been the homes of a prhistOric race
which inhabited this section.
These bridges are best reached by
stage or team from the, railroad sta
ton at Thompson, Utah, to Monticello,
thence by pack-horse-a journey
through a strange, deserted-look1ng
but interesting land.

er. By this time She had begun to cry

err BY this time She had begun to cry
again.
She went down on a car and en-
tered the dreary Office building. When
she went in she saw the same office
boy and bookkeeper; but there was
a new stenographer, little, fluffy
haired thing, who chewed gum brazen-
ly. Her heart sank. Was it possible
that John was attracted by that crea-
ture?
"Why, Maryl" John was at the
door, looking at her with a puzzled
expression. He was holding her hands.
MARY! What's wrong, dear"
She could not help her tears. "Send
that-woman away" she said in fall
tering voice, and the stenographer
withdrew softly, smiling little. She
had seen mems wives go to their hus-
bands offices before. Mary Benton en-
tered, put down her bag and, standing
like a recording angel, flung down the
letter silently. John Benton read it
and suddenly began to laugh uproar-
iously.
"John! You are laughing!" ex-
claimed his wife.
"Read it aloud, my DEAR" her hus-
band answered. $50 you thought
you thought"
"John, what do you mean? Can you
offer any excuse at all? What is it?"
John Benton read solemnly:
"My dearest, sweetest Jack-When
are you going to take me out to din
ner again, as you did on the Goth,
sweetheart? miss you every hour Of
the day-more than I miss Hairoff,
the new patent scissors for cutting
your own hair. When see my broth
er's Hairoff I think of your own dark,
lustrous locks. I" -
ooh, pshawl" said John, throwing
the letter down. That's a mimeo-
graphed circular, Mary; we're flooding
the country with them. Everybody
will read them and want pair. Look
at those stacks Of letters up there,
dearest-they're all the same letter,
all those thousands Of them. And you
theught-you really thought"
But Mary was past thinking now !;
she was in his arms. and her tears
were those Of relief, happiness and
humiliation.

now came forward. There were tears
in her eyes, but smile played about
her mouth. "You tell him." she said.
"Then listen," said George Chaplin.
"Alice Manners-now Mrs. George Cha
pin-is an old friend who had passed
out of my life for years. We had
lovers quarrel long ago. That's why
I've never married. When I found
her again I took her right around
to the city hall and got license to
marry her, and then rushed her to a
minister. That was two days ago. I
wasn't taking any more chances. IN
derstand that, lunatic? And from the
way your father and mauled each
other when we were boys, to see who
should propose to Alice-that is, my
wife-I guess he won't have any more
objections to your marrying Miss
Linda, her daughter"

To GarbIe.

While. modern custom permits the
use aT the word "garbled" in the sense
of setecting the worst and not the best
parts of a story, yet the use of the
word in this sense is incorrect. The
word originally meant to Gull out and
select the most suitable parts and to
reject the worst and least suitable
parts. 1t is therefore incorrect to
speak. of a 'garbled statement" in the
se1fse Of a mutilated or dishonest state
tnent, for formerly in London the name
''garbler" was applied to officers ap-
pointed by law to look after the pur
ity of drugs and spices, and the term
a.a.garEleo" was applied to such articles
any after they had been examined
and freed from impurities and improp
s:r adiIxtures.

An cad" Almost
Brought Disaster
By MURIEL BLAIR.

%. 1921, Western Newspaper Union)
John Benton rose hurriedly from
the breakfast table and plunged for
his hat; then he plunged for his wife.
"GOod-by, dearest" he said, clasping
her as tightly as he could, considering
that he was holding derby and bag
full of Office papers. II must catch
that s :27." ..
"Good-by, john" said Mary Benton,
kissing him fondly. II do wish you
didn't have to hurry away to that old
Office" she added, pouting.
ut won't be for long," said her hus-
band. IF our great new advertising
scheme goes through We'll flood the
country with notices of our new pat
emit. Everybody will read them. It's
my own idea. Can't stop to tell you
now. GOod-by." And, with a hurried
final kiss, he was through the door
and Fastening toward the station.
Mary sighed a little-then smiled.
She and John had been married only
six months and they were very fond
Of each other.
She put away the breakfast things;
then, still smiling at the thought Of
her husbands haste, she went into
the little. room in which he worked at
nights upon the new advertising plan.
A piece of paper lay in one corner; it
had evidently f1uttered out Of his desk
and fallen there, unnOticed. She
picked it up and, glancing at it, felt
her heart throb painfully. She could
hardly read the words that danced
before her eyes.
1t was a love letter, and it began:
"My dearest, sweetest Jack" 1t was
evidently that the writer
might remain immune against discOv-
cry, and for the same reason 1t was
signed Bunny" And it was just the
sort Of foolish mixture Of prattle and
endearment that an ignorant young
girl would write.
Worst Of all, it was headed 2247
Andover street-her husbands bust
ness address.
She tried to read 1t, but the mixture
Of shop talk and loving phrases was
too nauseating. Mingled with allu-
sions to business affairs were refer
ences to somebody who must be kept
In the dark herself, doubtless. And
"Jack" had taken her out to dinner
on the 29th-that was the evening
when he did not come home till eleven.
"Jack" had given her ring. "Jack"
was her everlasting sweetheart.
Mary Benton had the quick temper
which. accompanies many lovable ma
lures. She flung the letter into cor
ner and packed her bag. She was de-
termined to go home to her mother.
She would leave no message-merely
the letter on the table. She picked It
up and smoothed out the wrinkles.
Then. at the door, she reflected. No,
she would go down to the Office and
confront them-John and his. absurd
stenographer. Then at last she com!
posed herself, dabbed some cologne
upon her eyes, put the letter in her
bag and started downtown. She would
be very quiet and very calm and give
the woman no occasion 10 triumph
over her. She would request a few
moments Of Johns time, would walk
In, lay down the letter, ask him If he
had anything to say, and then go
home. She would never return-neY=

FLIGHT MAY AID ALASKA

WhdIe there Is undouttedly genei.ll regret that Commander Street and his companions in the return flight from Nome 10 New York selected another route than down the Inside Passage and by inc way of WranEell. it is probably true that their decision is q wise one. Limited to landing fields on solid ground, the season is unfavor- able for their planes to attempt a re- turn by the route taken in the flight into the country. It might have end- ed in disaster to the entire party.
 As far as gathering data on the route is concerned. the out trip un- doubtediy suffced for that purpose. The pioneer work of the flyers has been accomplished. It only remains for the results to be put to some beneficial use in connection with the establishment of suitable service on a commercial basis. In his telegram to Mayor Robertson, Captain Street in- inmates that there may be reason to hope for something of this kind to develop in the near future. Hope our flight may bear fruit for commercial enterprise along the coast" he de- clares. The flight demonstrated that aerial navigation in the territory Is practical. The time made by the planes in Alaska compares favorably with that on other legs of their flight and they had less trouble on account of climatic conditions. fewer break downs. and were under no greater phy. sical strain after entering ahe terri tory's hounda ries than experienced be- fore.
