deeds only, for no good deeds havo
ever been attributed To her In the
knowledge OF those few who havo
known her history for the past forty
years. II seems that she gloried in the
crimes she committed, and during her
convivial momouts would relate somo
incidents OF her past life. From this
source IL Is gathered that Mt an early
age in her native land she became tho
mistress OF noted sea pirate named
Valzaj, whose vessel was n terror To
the merchant ships plying the waters
OF tho Pacific ocean. She boasted that
her duty was when the ship anchored
at port OF prominence, to dccoy rich
men aboard the vessel whore they
would surely bo robbed and murdered.
Sho followed this criminal caseor until

when she loft her pirate paramour.

summer OF 1919. Az tho time OF her
death she was cighiy-fvo years old.

Skinned Milk for Hens.

skinned milk is fed TO the hens in
stead OF the pigs it will yield a greater
profit Our hens get nothing TO drink
but milk. and they lay right straight

milk dairying is that the skimmed-millS

farm. Another advantage Is that In
selling butter you carry of none OF tho
farms fertility, whereas in selling milk
you do. Still another advantage is that
