The Pirates Of Our Youth.

Oh, those dear, delightful pirates
Of our youthful reading, where have
they disappeared to? They monop-
olized oil Of the swift sailing vessels,
and their superior seamanship enabl-
ed them to safely weather storms
to which honest, hard working ships
often succumbed.
We used to wonder where the tim
Der grew from which they construct
ed those tall, tapering masts, for
they could sustain an amount ofcan-
vas that would send any other craft
to the bottom. You never caught q
thoroughbred pirate taking in sail
during O storm-at least not in our
day. Instead of that he would shake
out every reef there was, from the
main yard to the main royal. 1t is
wonderful how much sail an indus
trious pirate could make in trying
to overhaul q prize or get away from
q dangerous pursuer.
The pirate of our youth was dress.
ed in q velvet suit trimmed withgold
lace, and his legs were incased in high
top patent leather boots, surmount-
ed by gold tassels. His broad, inn
maculate shirt collars, frilled at the
edge, rolled over his jacket, with the
significant skull and crossbonas~en-
broidered in theeaSz4oa by the pirates
bri6s,- WHO awaited his return on that
beautiful isle of the sea which con-
stituted their home.
Then he wore above his raven locks,
that waved SO Iuxuriantly adownhis
Apollo-like shoulders, acunning little
scarlet cup with tassel of gold, and
broad barbaric scarf around his
waist was a receptacle for his trusty
pistol and crimeter of Damascus
steel, when he could steal one. Oh,
we'll never see another pirate like
him if we live o thousand years.

Don't Know IT..

There is a mine Of interesting mat
ter to be Cleaned from the Uni ted
States treasury by any one who
knows where to search, / was talk
ing with an old treasury official, one
who has been+there SO long in par
ticular bureau that it would be al
most impossible to fill his place &C.
ceptably when he said: "There is
any amount of money due people
who$do not call for it in the United
States treasury, You SEQ there have
been 10 great loans made to the
United States in the past so years.
The Oldest I eve had anything to
do with was that maturing in 1885
Il think it was. I Is about all paid,
but there. ia still nearly $4,000 In
principal and interest, due somebody,
1t will probably never be called for.
And, speaking of that war of 1886,
there is q curious incident connected
with my last reference to those old
books relating to that claim. Itwas
while Judge Folger was secretary.
"One morning an old man came in
to me who was from q New Egland
state. He said that about twenty
years ago he found some old stock
or bonds among the papers of an
uncle mentioning his name; he had
been a man of national reputation
for ability, and had q comfortable
fortune for those days, that is, from
1920 to 184O), and he had come to
the United States treasury to find
out if they were worth anything, as
they seemed to be United States
bonds. / looked at them. They
were 10 of the 'old debt bonds, and
were indeed cu~riosities. They were
old and yellow from age, but were
worth, principal and interest $4,000
in gold, forthere were 10 years inter
est due on them"

The Trust Mania and its Cure,

N24@E
Every industry ID the land appears
to be falling into the hands Of 40
called atrusts'' 81 combinations,
which have for their objects TO
increase the selling price q
restrict competition and 70
their products. We have on ~
many occasions called attention
to the inevitable result Of these ef-
forts to make the public pay for the
support Of antiquated and expensive
producing works, or for the losses
which ignorance or extravaganza
would entail. The object now appar-
emit il most cases Of "trust" organ
izations is simply to make the dear
public believe that sstrust stock are
good Investments, and to unload
these stsecurities' on them as rapid
~ as possible.
Many Of the unwary viii lateraon
pay dearly for their education In this
matter, but in the meantime il il

ludicrous in it. I was passing along

stopped at the corner Of Queen street
for a moment to look at the old

there. Its old steeple and clocks are
land marks. 1t is the old Trinity

q grassy plot about half an acre in
extent. Part of it is used as q bury

close together, but only one of them
is marked with q tombstone. On

of the deceased occupier, and beneath

The Interstate commerce law fOrbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person a greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor-
tatiOn of passengers or property than it
charges for a like and contemporaneous
service. This is one thing that this law
forbids. 1t does not, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another Why then patron
ize the railroad that offers the interior
train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service
ride less number of miles and still reach
the same points. The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be well patroniZed. The Missouri
Pacific Wort Scott Route )offers such IN
ducements as mentioned above and great
many more which space will not permit 10

fact-that the Missouri Pacific railway
has elegant train service such as the test

A Silly Bible Misprint.

1t is popularity supposed, remarks corre-
spondent of the London Daily News, that
the Authorized Version of the Bible, as we
have it to-day, is entirely free from printers
errors; and it may be interesting to good
many of your readers to learn that it contains
any thing of the kind. The following pas
sage, however. speaks for itself and the
misprint contained in it will be readily no.
ticed: "Woe to the idol shepherd that leav-
eth the fockl The sword shall be upon his
arm. and upon his right eye; his arm shall
be clean dried up and his right eye shall be
utterly darkened' (Zechariah, chap. XII,
" ~. Curiously enough, this error has
been allowed to remain uncorrected by the
University Press for nearly fifty years, and
possibly for much longer period; at any
rate, 1t will be found in the editions of the
Bible for 1899 and 1888, 1885 being the date
of publication of the Revised Version. 1t
was Of course discovered by the Revising
Company, and it would seem as if they
wished to consign the fault to oblivion, as
they substituted a new adjective (''worth-
iess') for that isprinted-namely, idle"
avoiding, moreover, any reference, mar
glnal or otherwise, TO the alteration made
