OF course, Spain complained and called
him Pirate" shouting loudly for the
world to join IN his Suppression. So
was Paul Jones a pirate, so were all
those lusty privatiersmen that sailed
from Baltimore IN the war Of 1872, 50,
too, with more reason, was our own
Raphael Semmes and his Alabama dur
ing the late unpleasantness. No one
dared disObey LATTE while acting I'M
der his immediate eve, but away from
him the lawless spirits of his followers
sometimes broke loose, and this was the
ruin Of Lafitte's Galveston settlement.
There was complaint Of depredations up
on other than Spanish. LATTE punished
these attractions Of discipline with rare
vigOr when he heard Of them, but this
failed to prevent repeCtiOns. Finally,
in 1870, one Of Laftte's cruisers plum
dered and scuttled an American vessel
in Matagorda bay. The United States
government sent a commission to inves-
tigate the affair, and the result was
tke sending OF an armed vessel under
Lieut.. Kearney, with orders to break
up the establishment at Galveston. Now
if LATTE had been a real pirate, instead
of breaking up, these orders would nave
been for capture, Imprisonment and a
hangman'S moose. Lantte met the lieu
tenant, entertained him royalty at the
Red House, and endeaVored to OVerpoWer
him with pollteness and BY the eXer-
else of his Well-known destinations. but
the lieutenant had no choice but to com
pei obedience and LATTE had 10 yield.
He called in all his scattered cruisers TO
Galveston. placed all his belongings upon
them, and, with all his men, set sail and
babe farewell to Texas. Again il would
seem that as there was no great hurry
and ample time for the removal Of all
property no hope or expectation OF any
return that LATTE would hardly have
left treasure behind him anywhere on
Galveston Island or the Texas coast.
For some years LATTE, with headquar-
tiers at SisaI, in Yucatan, and Margarita,
in Venezuela, preyed upon Spanish COM
merce, but gave cause for complalnt
to no other nation. In 1922 he. visited
friends at Charleston, s. c. If he We're
a pirate or so regarded, he would hardly
have allowed his social instincts to so
overcome his prudence. He came and
went freely as any visitor. He died In
1926 at Sisal, peacefully and in bed, and
at this day his remains lie buried there
in the Campo Santo, but his ghost, with
no regard of distance, still hauntS our
southern shores and warns away with
frightful menaces the yenturesome treas
ure hunter.
Such is the history OF a man whose
name is very synonym for piracy
among half a million coast people. POOR,
brave handsome, chivalrous Laftte. III
does the country that owes you so much
requite your freely given and most use
full services.

VAGARIEs OF SMOKERS,
Queer Tastes and Fads OF Men Who
Know What They Want.

It's queer fact said a Broadway CT
gar dealer, "how tastes differ in the mat
ter of smoking materials. believe that no
smoker really enjoys trying new brand
of tobacco and that solid contentment is
only secured when the smoker has be-
come thoroughly used to one particular
brand
zone of my customers, wealthy man,
who buys a large quantity of high grade
cigars, always smokes stogies himself and
carries a supply in his pocket for emer-
gency. | have seen him when treated to a
genuine perfectO slyly slip il into his peck
ct and light one of his stogies. Another
man, who can only afford a small sum for
his tobacco, smokes but one cigar day,
and that a choice one. He declares that
no other kind will satisfy him. and that
one good smoke after dinner is worth
more than six cheap cigars spread over
the day.
Some cigarette smokers, who can af-
ford TO buy the best, always ask for par
ticular brand of the five-cent variety, and
will take no others. One customer insists
that l send to Texas for a special five
cent cigar that is made in Fort Worth. He
has tried about everything in my stock
but can't find anything that pleases
him. He lived for several months in Texas
and got so used to the peculiar fiavoring
used in that cigar that he is almost as bad
as a morphine fiend when the supply has
given out. OF course there Is a great va
riety of tobacco grown and this gives
much choice for individual tastes, but the
fact remains that a smoker will see so
great a difference between the differently
shaped cigars made from the same leaf
that one is delightful and the other dis
tasteful to him.
"Some men want box of cigarettes and
ten minutes talk for five cents We have
men who squeeze and pinch every cigar
in the case before selecting a 'tWo-fer' and
then the women-but it would take too
long to tell you how they buy cigarettes
Women are far worse than men in the
variety of their smoking vagaries."

BIcYCLING WITHOUT LEGS.
This Lad Pedals With Stumps, and
Can Turn OF "A Mile Under Five
Minutes

From the New York World.
Ever since wheeling became a craze the
human race, big and little, high and low.
powerful and weak has thought it no
dishonor to be found in scanty attire,
pushing pedals. There seems to be no
limit to the fad. and the result has been
no end of freaks and freaking. Now, how
ever the greatest of all freaks makes its
appearance. It is a bicycle whose rider
has no legs and only one arm.
The rider is Arthur Roadhouse, a boy
resident of DeKalb, III. He is 10 years
old, bright and as active as his physical
imperfectionS which came from birth,
win allow. Like most cripples. his mind
is precocious. The bicycling craze left
him in body more hopeless and helpless
than ever. a neighboring bicycle manu-
facturer agreed TO make a wheel which
one hand guides the handle bar and bars
of steel lead up from the pedals to the
short stumps which he has known as legs.
Strange to say, he experienced very little
trouble in balancing the machine.
He began riding about three weeks ago.
ton and practice he made a half mile on
a track in less than three minutes. He can
now no mile in less than tve minutes,
and expects TO reduce this time to four
minutes. He has already made a half
mile in Pm los. He has learned to dis
and without assistance. He has to be as
sisted. though when he mounts, but he
expects soon to be able to do This alone.
Dekalb seems to have more than her
share of bicycle riding eripples. A year
or two ago one of the young women Of
the town had a leg taken off by the cars.
She now rides a bicycle very creditably,
il IS said.
