pirate whose name was we'll known along
the coast of the northern colonies during
the third decade of the last century. Phil
lips began life as an honest seam IN, and
while on voyage to Newfoundland was
taken prisoner by Austis another notor-
Gus pirate of that day. 1t did not take
him long to become thoroughly reconciled
to his new surroundings, and he was soon
one of the boldest Of Austis' crew. About
the middle of 1928 Phillips entered into
conspiracy with several companions, and
they succeeded in running away from
Newfoundland with small merchant yes
sci, the capture of which they had effect
ed. He and his crew signed the usual
pirate articles, which in this instance pre-
sented some peculiar features. Ctptain
johnson, who had access to the records of
the trials of this crew, has preserved the
articles in full They open with the usual
stipulations regarding the share each Of
ticer and man should receive from the
prizes captured, and go on to state the
various rules of discipline to which the
company was to be subjected. The two
features which attract the most attention
are the articles providing that ''if any man
shall lose joint in time of an engagement
he shall have 400 pieces of eight; if a limb,
ton of women, which shows that these
men, desperate and abandoned as they
were, were not wholly lost to every sense
of honor. eff at any time" reads this
article, 1--WE meet with prudent woman,

without her consent, shall suffer present
DEATH
TOO GOOD FOR A LEADER.
Phillips sailed for the West Indies, the
coast of which he harried for many
months, evading every effort that was
made by the authorities to take him.
Among his captures were many New Eng
land vessels, and although he did not
Scruple to send the crews ashore and
scutte their Ships as regards crueltes to
men his record is perhaps the cleanest of
any of the chief pirates of his time.
Early in 1924 he suddenly appeared off the
New England coast and captured a sloop
commanded by a trader named Andrew
Harradine. The priz4 being a more sea-
worthy vessel than his own, he sent the
captured crew, except Harradine, away
in the latter, and retitted the soop for his
own uses. For some time there had been
much disatfection among Phillips men,
and taking Harradine into their conf
dence they formed conspiracy to seize the
ship and deliver the officers and vessel to
justice. Their plan was put into execu-
ton in April, 1924, but several of the of
1cers, including Phillips, made such re-
sistance that it was necessary to kill them
in order to accomplish their design. A
few days later the vessel was carried
into Boston and delivered up. On May
18th special court of Vice Admiralty
was convened and four of the pirates were
condemned. Two of them We're executed
on June I'd and the others were reprieved
to await the issue of petition to his
majesty, the King, in their behalf. His
tory does not relate what disposition was
finally made of them.

ATKINsoN's BOLD MOVE.

Atkinson perceiving that his life was
in danger every moment, now determined
to try the plan of setting the crew against
Fly, whose tyrannical rule had long since
gained him the hatred of every man on
board. Several of the ships officers were
taken into his plans, and it was not long
before the entire crew was ripe for mu-
tiny. By this time Fly had, by fitting out
several of his prizes, made himself master
of fleet of four vessels. Atkinson had
been retained on his ship, which was the
largest and best equipped of tie four, and
soon found an opportunity to put his de-
signs into successful execution.
One morning, while the pirate chief was
engaged in watching some approaching
vessel through his glasses, he was seized,
on signal from the pilot, and confined in
irons. Atkinson taking command then
navigated the fleet straight into New Eng
land, where the entire company were
seized by the authorities in June, 1926.
! They were carried to Boston, where they
were tried the following month. Lieu
tenant Governor Drummer, assisted by
eighteen gentlemen of the council sat
in judgment on the case, and Fly and
three of the most notorious of his men
were condemned for murder and piracy,
and on the 18th of the same month were
led to execution Fly's body hung in
| chains at the entrance of the harbor for a
long time as CHASTITY warning to all evil
| doors.

EXERCISES FOR THE THROAT.
A Branch of Physical Culture Not Often
Touched On.

Touched On.
The chronic sore throat is not infre-
quently produced by the misuse of the
vocal organs. Very often that unruly
little member, the tongue, is accounta-
bic for the difficulty, us it is for Il great
many other troubles III this transitory
life. Many people have habit when
talking Of pushing the tongue so far
back against the delicate membranes
that line the throat that irritation more
or less painful is caused, and if it con-
tinues any length Of time ulcers will
form, and so will doctors bill.
Control of the tongue is excellent in
all senses Of the word. Physically this
organ may be managed by depressing it
into Il hollow at IL point threc-quarters
of an inch back of where the tip of it
comes when i'll IL natural position in the
mouth and at the same time singing
very light head tones This exercise
requires some patience at first, but the
habit of keeping the tongue down is
soon acquired. In speaking or singing
it should not be allowed to hoop up and
fill the mouth, thus interfering with
the free passage of the tones Of the voice
from the throat to the front of the
mouth, where they should strike and
then escape clear as Il bell. This hoop
ing upof the tongue i'll the mouth is the
cause of much of the indistinct and
slovenly uttorances to which we arc too
often obliged TO listen.
In many people we notice tho line
from the point of the chin to the neck
is in the form of right angle. In II
shapely throat this line forms IL curve
just as IL canary's does when the small
yellow artist is warbling his carols.
To develop the throat and make this
angle curve, stand before Il mirror So
that you may watch the threat swell
out. Now thrust your tongue out as far
as it will 90, then draw it back quickly
and forcibly, at the same time bringing
it downward III the mouth as far as you
can. Place your thumb and fCr> finger
against the larynx Commonly called
the Adams applc), and if you arc max
ing the right Increment you viii feel
the lalyliX pass downward. For /" week
or two make the movements lightly
After that time put as much fore" into it
as you can. The exercise should be
practiccd for Il few minutes several
times Il day to insure rapid and good
results.
To fill up the hollows Of the neck,
stand correctly, and then slowly fill the
lungs with air without elcvating your
shoulders. As the air is forced upward
into the throat hold it there few sec
onds and then cXpcl slowly. This eXer-
else is Lest performed soon after rising
i'll the morning and before retiring at
night New York Post

In his recent address delivered

In his recent address delivered
in the Church Militant at Chicag
recently, Col. IngersoIl, speaking
of what children should be taught
said: "All should be taught tina
the highest am bition is to be hap
py and to add to the well being o
others; that place and power arr
not necessary TO success; that thu
desire to ecquire great wealth is
kind of insanity. They should b'
taught that it is waste of energy
q waste of thought, a waste OF life
to acquire what you do not really
use for the benefit of yourself OF
others. Neither mendicants nor
millionaires are the happiest OF
mankind. The man at the bottom
of the ladder hopes to rise; the
man at the top fears to fall, The
one asks; the other refuses, and by
frequent refusal the heart becomes
hard enough and the hand greedy
enough to clutch and bold. Few
men have intelligence enough, real
greatness enough, to own great
fortune. AS rule, the fortune
owns them. Their fortune is their
master, for whom they work and
toll like slaves. The man who has
good business, and who can make
a reasonable living, and lay aside
something for the future, who can
educate his children, and can leave
the wolf of want from the door of
those he loves, ought to be the
hrppiest of men,. Now, society
bows and kneels at the feet of
wealth. Wealth gives power;
wealth commands battery and aau
lation, and so millions OF men give
all their energies, as we'll as their
very souls, for the acquisition of
gold, and this will continue as long
as society is ignorant enough and
hypocritical enough to hold in high
esteem the man of wealth, without
the slightest regard to the charac
ter of the man."
