her beauty was as evident as her goodness, all

Meantime the Mayfiower was returning to Eng

Priscilla, planned to return to the old home. for

together his scanty belongings and went to the
shore where the Mayflower waited, straining her

Alden was about to step on the gunwale of the
boat which would take him out to the waiting yes

the tear-stained countenance of Priscilla i4ullins.
Reproach. grief and unutterable longing were
in her eyes. He gazed long into them across the
distance between them. then jumped back on
shore. Here / remain" he vowed. raising his
hand to heaven. So under the providence OF God
it happened that not one went back in the May
flower and the colony was intact. save for the raw
ages made by death.

the exception of New Mexico, and the
supply of stock water is improved.
The shortage of feed in some sections
Is causing heavy marketing. Consid-
cradle complaint of the shortage of

The outlook for fall own grains has
improved in Utah and Nevada due to
recent heavy precipitation, but Is still
poor. The supply of moisture is still
deficient In the western half of Ne

to benefit fall blowing or fall sown

a kind of chicken. Certainly there is many a
native-born American who doesn't know the diff
ference between the Pilgrims and the Puritans;
maybe he even thinks they were the same
But nobody's going to have a chance to forget
the Pilgrims. There's Thanksgiving day. which Is
not complete without appropriate references to
the Pilgrims and that first Thanksgiving dinner
OF wild turkey, cranberrles and pumpkin pie.
That's Il yenrly reminder.
And there are the thousands upon thousands
of "Mayfiower Descendants" whose activities are
nationwide.
And there are the thousands upon thousands OF
priceless family heirlooms brought over on the
M~ayhower-you wouldn't think from the accom-
panying reproduction of her replica that she could
have carried SO many. would you?
Some future Americans may escape the de-
scendants and the relics. But Thanksgiving will
get most of them and the story of Priscilla Null
Tins and John Alden and Capt. Miles Standish will
get the rest. Why. every s~choolboy and every
schoolgirl Is brought up on this story; to escape

This Plymouth Rock romance Is really quite a
story. 1t has several claims upon fame, aside
from Longfellow's melodious version.
In the first place It's Il true story. II YOU don't
believe there were any such people, please know
that John and Priscilla became the parents of
eleven children-and their descendants are now
numerous enough To have u society all by them
selves.
Secondly, Priscilla perpetrated the first recorded
American %lenp-yenr proposal. To be sure. she
didn't pop until 1920 was past and gone but the
principle Is the same.

Chef Had Plenty
But He Could
Hardly Eat

Even an expert chef for an up-to-
date restaurant, with everything heart
could wish in the eating line and the
skill to prepare it in the most appetiz-
ing manner, finds life miserable and
work a burden with his appetite gone
and his health all broken up on &C.
count of stomach trouble.
According to his own statement,
such had been the case for two years
with William Lackey, S65 North Wells
St, Chicago, H., chef at a popular
North Clark st. restaurant, who says
he recently found relief by taking
Tanlac.
Mr.. Lackey now boasts of a "won-
derful appetite and a stomach that
digests such things as ham and eggs,
corned beef M cabbage. and rich pas
tries, foods that would have almost
put me out of commission before I
took Tanlac."
Before l ran across this medicine"
said he, II was having to lay off from
my work for n week at a time just
on account of the numerous Ills l suf-
fered from Indigestion. But when /
tell You l have gained fifteen pounds,
eat and digest anything, and am on
the job every day feeling fine, you may
know how l appreciate Tanlac."
Tanlac is sold by all good druggists.
