THE STORY TELLER.


From all times men have had their dreams
and delusions of buried treasure but all the
tales and romancos that ever were written
on the subject pale beside the story of Cap
tain Kidd. In many places on the Atlantic
Coast the hope Of finding the pirates buried
treasure is as strong to-day as il was nigh
two hundred years ago.
IL is generally believed that William
Kidd was born about the middle Of the
seventeenth century and followed the seas
from his youth. 1t is more than probable
shat the name kidd was an alias, the sea
robbers Of those days having good AID suf-
ticient reasons for dropping their ancestral
name. On shore he was William Kidd; at
sea he was robert. In the words Of the old
ballad
My name was Robert Kidd, as sailed as
saied!'
About the year 1895 Kidd was known as
one The boldest shipmasters sailing out
Of New York and he became so famous that
he attracted the favorable attention of the
colonial government.
| About the close of the seventeenth CEN
tury the dcpredations of piratesupon British
commerce were SO extensive that il was
determined TO send ont privateers to attack
the frcebootcrs. The owners of these priva-
tcers We're reimbursed for their outlay by the

in consequence of his recommendation Kidd
received a commission, signed by the king,
and addressed to "the truSty and well
beloved Captain Kidd, commander of the
ship Adventure Galley
The vessel was fast sailcr, and carried 81
guns, with a crew of 100 men. She SAILED
from Plymouth, England, in April 1886 anc
cruised of the American Coast for severa
months. She occasionally entered New
York and Boston, where the crew wa.
recruited, until it included more than hun
bred and fifty men. With this increased
force Kidd finally sailed for the East Indie,
and the east coast of Africa. While on til,

that his crew were not averse to the project

The ssDrink BiII'' OF Canada.

One Of the leading journals Of Canada has
recently complied an interesting comparison
between the consumption Of Intoxicating
liquors in Canada and the United States In
the United States the amount so spent is
estimated at 900 million dollars; that expen-
ded IN public education and Christian mis-
sions being 50 and a million dollars respec-
tivey In Canada the iigurges are 27l inschoos
and 100000 in Christian missions. The
expenditure per head of the population in
Intoxicating drinks is thus is dollars in the
United States, and o! dollars in Canada.

In warm summer weather many persons
feel an irresistible craving for something
sour, and often crafty this desire by free
indulgence in pickles, or vegetables made
acid with vinegar. This demand for acids
indicates deficiency in the acid secretions
of the stomach, and the demand for an arti-
fetal supply is a natural one, but vinegar is
not the best substitute. Tactic acid is one
of the chief agents that give acidity to the
gastric juice OF the stomach in health. This
is the acid of sour milk, and, therefore, one
of the best summer diet drinks that we can
use is buttermilk. 1t satisfies the cravings
for acids by giving to the stomach a natural
supply, and at the same time furnishing i'll
its eheesy matter good supply of whole
some nutrition. A man will endure fatigue
in not weather better on buttermnk than on
any diet drink he can use.

According to history Kidd left 1888 ounces
of gold, SAT ounces of silver and several
bags Of precious stones, all of which were
secured by the Earl of Belmont, but whether
they were ever handled by the unfortunate
shareholders in the enterprise is not known.
According to popular belief the quantity
above named was only small fraction OF
the wealth acquired by Kidd; and down to
the present time people have been searching
localities on the New England coast and
along the Hudson River in the hope of find
ing some of Kidd's abandoned wealth.
Along the whole Massachusetts coast from
the eud of Long Island to Portsmouth and
Portland, there are numerous traditions and
other stories of KSld's treasures. There are
those who bolevesthat some of the pirates
wealth is hidden near Lynn and Salem;
others locate it rear Newbnry Port; and
others again, near Hampton, Portsmouth
and Kittery.
Almost every year somebody dreams of
Kidd's buried treasure, and many have pro-
fessed to be guided by spirits to the very
spot, when, at the instant that success was
about to smile ON their efforts their arms
have been forcibly withheld by.sprit hands,
or some sudden shock from the earth has
closed in the hole SO that they could not
find il on their return. Thousands of dol
lars have been expended in these researches
and they have invariably resulted in nothing

lively, the facts in the boyhood and man
hood of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. private Lives

signers and engrayers to elegantly and pro-
iusely illustrate the scenes and incidents in
the lives Of these eminent men, now so prom
iuently before the people. Personal ancedo-
ties and "reminiscences will constitute lead
ing and certainly most entertaining and
instructive feature of this fine work.
Mr. l5uel has marked ability, and enjoys
especial distinction as Biographical writer.
While exhaustive in the recital of facts his
powers of analysis, and his keen insight into
the philosophy Of events and measures, give
him special prominence among American

fascinating interest, beauty and profuseness
of illustration, and of comprehensivencss of
fact, it will commend itself to egcry goter.
To the book agent this rare combination
of authentic history pictorial illustration
and brilliant authorship, willat once suggest
the universal demand it will create, and also
the advantages in interest it has over the
ordinary Campaign book, and the grand
opportunity it offers for profitable agency.
