NATION’S DEBT T0 PILGRIMS
their Famous Compact of Government
nightly Treasured so a Great
f . State Document.
In the harbor at the tip of Cape
Cod occurred the first birth and the
fist death among the Pilgrims in
America. On board the Mayflower, as
sfie lay at anchor, was born Pere-
mine, son of_ William and Susanna
White. , Here was another child for
fie ship' a nursery, already occupied by
little Oceanus Hopkins, who first saw
fie light of danfar out at sea.
The death was that of Dorothy May,
wife of William Bradford, future gov-
l:
armor of Plymouth Colony. She was
‘owned.
First, of importance, however, of
#1 that occurred here, and also in
fie sequence of events. was the draw-
is up and signing of the famous com-
pct of Jgovernment originally desig-
v-ted by Bradford in his history as “a
’ mblnation." And so it was, in the
-ost literal sense, a combination.
This agreement. made in writing by
:- littletgroup of Englishmen who had
fien dismissed by their mother coun-
iry as f‘good riddance to bad rubbish,"
i now treasured by the nation in
fimerica, to which they contributed as
much as one of three great documents.
'I‘he other two are the Declaration of
independence and the Constitution of
the United States. .
A A Sogone Dull Facts.“
' Two friendly little neighbors, aged
Inspectively 4% and 5 years, recently
mated‘themselves on the curbstone
near my windows for a religious dis-
cussion. It seemed they had over-
hard some grown-ups repeating a
moment prophecy of a certain sect as to
me imminent end of the world and
were greatly exercised at the report.
'Slhe elder child, a fair—haired skeptic
atom a northern state, scornfully de-
edared that he didn’t believe the story;
itut the swarthy. dark-eyed little Texan
solemnly asserted: j‘Yes, it's true: I
Know it's true; fob this mo‘nin' I
{read it in mah Bible." The midget
doesn't know one letter of the alpha-
Ltet from another, but he refuses to be
grinned down to vulgar facts when his
«writ wishes to. soar. Are children
at the period brighter than their pred-
ecessors? . At his age I am sure I
would not have flbbed with so solemn
émd convincing an air. —Los Angeles

Malignant Ghost.
. Last Christmas, .a, house in Leeds
was'vislted by mamazing host. ’
A woman, returning hom , went into
fihe kitchen to warm herself at the
sure. Suddenly she was startled to see
=i\\o long white arms emerge from the
mames.1'earer and nearer they came l
until they gripped her arms above the
telbow.
The touch was like red not Iron, and |
she fell fainting to the ground. When
she recovered she was surprised to |
find that there. had been no fire in the
grate. She visited a doctor, who. a-
mmined her arms and sound distinct
rtigns of burns This was afterward
«ameliorated by another doctors—Lon-
