cilitates you in your climb as the guide
tells us that in visiting each chamber
we have climbed near a thousand feet.
In some places we must almost go on
cur knees to get thru.
In crossing the open bridge at the
entrance our guide points out to us
several feet below the original open
ing to the cave which was discovered
by two small boys at play in 1889.
For some years prospectors and
tourists entered by this means carry
ing torches or candles to light their
way and meeting many falls in their
efforts to explore the cave. Finally
the State took charge; blasted the new
opening, installed electric lights and
it is now one of the wonders of the
State.
We came down by the descending
route and in a beautiful valley at the
Springs we spread lunch. A noisy
mountain stream was rushing by.
Birds sang among the pines and cot
tonwoods and needless to say the
lunch was enjoyed.
Going on down we turned in at the
entrance to the red rock "Garden of
the Gods" This is a marvellous park
and we did enjoy it very much. We
passed under the shadows of the
famous Cathedral Spires-rocks like
mighty towers rising hundreds of feet
in the air their bases hidden by beau

James FennimOre Cooper

School children of Burlington county
N. j. had the privilege last week of
participating in the d~edicatory cerom-
onies of high historical interest mark
ed rather unusual features. The chief
occasion was the dedication of the
birthplace of James Fennimore Cooper
as a permanent museum. The old house
on High Street, Burlington, is in a
fine state of preservation, and so is
the house next to it, in which another
greater American, scarcely less fam
Gus than the novelist, was born, Capt.
James Lawrence, whose dying words,
Don't give up the ship!" have had
the effect of rating him among the
great heroes of the war of 1912. An
interesting feature of the ceremonies
was the prominent participation in
them by the pupils of two Burlington
public schools named after those early
worthies-Rycosl &S bfV d & 4
James Fennimore Cooper was born
at Burlington, N. j., Sept. Is, 1889.
He lived most of his life at Coopers-
town, N. Y, named for his father and
died September IA, 1851.
He was the first American novelist
to describe the scenery and beauties
of America and early pioneer life.
Nearing Christmas time many are
at a loss to know what books to buy.
No mistake will be made in buying any
book written by Cooper. No literature
can be read which will tend to Amer
icanized the foreign mind more than
the book written by Cooper.
The names of some are as follows:
The Pioneer, Leatherstockings, The
Last of the Mohicans, The Spy, The
Pilot, Deerfoot, The Pathfinder, The
Praire, The Red Rover, Deerslayers.
His works throughout are disting-
uished by purity and brilliancy of no
common merit in describing American
life and their methods of living in the
pioneer days.
An unknown poet has left the foil
owing delightful tribute to the haunts
of Cooper.
A masters hand hath painted all thy
beauties; =.
A masters hand hath peopled all
thy shore
With wraiths of mighty hunters and
fair maidens
Haunting the forest glades forever

A masters hand hath gilded all thy

With golden splendor from a loving
breast,
And in thy churchyard, meath the pine
trees,
A masters body sleeps in quiet rest.

seem to defy or entrance as they
nearly touch the sides of the cave.
However, we drive on thru and come
out in a narrow valley with walls
towering on either side. 1t is a one
way road and when we reach the Cave
entrance hundreds of feet above the
valley we look down a terrible drop
so sheer that the double road re-
sembles many hanging shelves with
sharp turning ends.
The cave was very interesting.
Chamber after chamber with ceiling
and walls hanging with wonderful
satalltes. They had been given names
to suit their formation. There were
the chestnut burs, the vegetable
roots, the ribbons, the statues and
others. We passed thru the bridal
chamber, where many weddings have
taken place; the Madonna chamber
where a stalactite very much resem-
bles a draped figure of the Madonna.
Then there is the "Old Maids Kitchen"
where they resemble kitchen utensils.
Here we find covering one side of the
wall a net formed of thousands of
hairpins left by s~pinsters. The legend
is that each pin so placed assures its
owner of a marriage within the year

PROTECT FLOwERswITH MULCH

Perennial gardens in heavy soils are
in danger of winter injury because OF
the heaving of the plants by alternate
freezing and thawing. Hence it Is
generally advisable to apply some win
ter protection.
"Peonies and iris do not need any
winter protection" says the f1oricul-
turist at the college of agriculture, at
New Brunswick, "but almost all other
plants are benefited by it. Such pro
lection may be a mulch of coarse,
strawy manure, evergreen pougns'
straw, salt hay, or almost any nate
rial that will prevent the entry of the
SUMS RAYS and yet will OF pack to
tightly. Leaves, because if thelr ten
dency to pack tightly, are not SO de-
sirable. -,
"The mulch should not be applied
until the soil is rozen an inch or two
deep, the object being to keep the soil
in this coalition.
"The covering material should be
allowed to remain until winter or
early spring, at which time it should
be removed gradually, taking oc part
of the coarser material first, and n
the finer material. The removal of the
latter requires care in order not to IN
lure the new growth. If it is desired,
this finer material may be spaded
under: however, because of the danger
of disturbing established plants, it is
not always good to spade the garden
every year"

Denver, Colorado.
Mr.. Editor:
Thinking perhaps some of our
friends would enjoy an account of our
trip to Colorado Springs, / will give
you some of the details.
We got up very early on the morn
ing of October 21st. 1t was very cold
but Rey had a Hup at the door, so we
started. The road took us south thru
Englewood, Littleton and past the
Station of Lonviers, which is a mile
from the dupont town of that name.
Then Sedalia, Castlerock, Mount
Clair and Monument and as we climb
higher we came to beautiful Palmer
Lake, which is quite a resort, then
some mining towns and reach the
Springs at eleven o'clock.
We drove the entire length of the
beautiful parkway lined with palatial
residences and also pass the Colorado
University. We proceeded then and
going on reach Manition. Roads di-
verge here. We had intended going to
Pixies Peak, but found the road closed
on account of snow. AS second choice
we decided on the wonderful "Cave of
the Winds" The road leads us thru a
deep canyon where the rocky walls

tiful pines. We then took the scenic
drive TO Balanced Rock Park. This
driveway is lined with red rocks of
curious formation each named accord
ingly. There are the Beehives, Toad
stools, Anteater, the Old Man, Kissing
Camels and the famous Steamboat
rock. The balanced rock with a base
of less than two foot weighs a half
million pounds. We ascend one big
rock by e of wooden steps and
find a huge telescope which affords us
a wonderful sight of the surrounding
country. After adjusting il properly
we have a wonderful clear view of the
Summit House and Observatory atop
Pixies Peak. We also see that it Is
buried deep in snow and appreciate
properly the closing Of the road.
In the curio house, as We leave the
park, we view the petrifed remains
of az Indian found in the rock. Curl
ously this is of coal blackness but
physically perfect.
We concluded we have seen enough
for n day. Seventy-four miles of
State road running thru pine clad
rocks and hills lies between us and
home. The sunny warmth of the day
is giving way to the cold of evening,
as the sun goes down in a blaze of
glory behind the mountains. We climb
in the a and Rey steps on her"

Plead For Non-P Political Action
1--WE call upon the membership of the
Churches to make a united appeal in
behalf of this program of international
cooperation, to make known their atti-
tude to the President and their repre-
sentatlves in Congress and to assure
the Administration of their aid in de-
veloping a strong public opinion in its
support.
1--WE especially urge Christian peo-
pie everywhere to approach these
momentous issues on their merits, ir-
respective of all partisan considera-
tons. We make this plea on the high
est moral and religious ground, be-
lieving that beneath all these prom
lens lies the need of a great spiritual
awakening and a deeper conviction
that Christian principles are as bind

conduct"
George w. Wickersham acted as

included Bishop James E. Freeman,
