PMl Makes a Pilgrimage. 



History tells us of the faithful Mo- 

 hammedans who journeyed to Mecca; 

 of the Christians who traveled great 

 distances to Jerusalem; so the scribe of 

 today is emboldened to tell of a real 

 rose pilgrimage. It happened in this 

 wise: My Maryland has been, and is, 

 a grand rose with us. There was a 

 time, not long ago, when My Maryland 

 was not a prime favorite, when we 

 would hold up a bunch of fine Mary- 

 land and say, "Here are the own sis- 

 ters of the American Eose Society's 

 blue ribbon winners," only to be told, 

 "They are nice; give us fifty of your 

 Killarney." That day has passed. My 

 Maryland now is our leading rose. So 

 we felt, for sentimental reasons, that 

 we really ought to pay a visit to John 

 Cook and thank him personally for 



originating such a wonderful rose. So 

 a letter was written and a cordial reply 

 received — and that is how the trip from 

 Philadelphia to Baltimore came about. 

 The long-planned excursion came off 

 on a recent Tuesday. It came as near 

 to being a failure as any gloriously suc- 

 cessful expedition can possibly come. 

 It happened in this way: The chores 

 finished and a hasty luncheon dis- 

 patched, we took a midday train from 

 Broad street station; not one of those 

 slow trains that stop at every wayside 

 station, but a flyer that stops almost 

 nowhere until it reaches Baltimore, an 

 express that would give us ample time 

 to see Mr. Cook and everything he 

 wanted to show us. That was the way 

 it should have worked out, but it 

 didnH. The engine broke down; then 

 something got wrong with the forward 

 coach. We sat in the meadows for 

 ages, while two trains that left much 

 later than we- did whizzed by us. 

 Finally we reached Baltimore just a 

 little before the time we had planned
