his first mate.
Long familiarity with the New Eng

Capt. Bald, pulling his long whiskers
neryously.
In short time the black flag of the
pirates indicated even TO the crew what
mission the ship was bent on. There
was short time of general fear when
stout hearts quaked and rugged faces
turned pale Every sailor knew the
cruelty Of the pirate captain and his
horde of sayages.
Then Capt. Bald called the crew to-
gcther and addressed them in these
words:

We know what he's after: he never

die fighting than be strung up to the
yardarm or have our lips and noses
cut off for fry. We've got harpoons
and axes aboard, and every one of We

we're dead. just remember that it's
better to be killed than to fall in their
hands. I'll use my wits TO get away
from them, but if worst comes 70
worst. we must fight. That's all"
The stout words of the grim old whal.

crew, and they gave little cheer that
meant more than the loud huzzah of q

about to face death, and he was deter

President McKinley's sympathy

PRESIDENT MchlnleVS sympathy
FOR Cuba seems to eminate from
Wall Street where three hundred
millions Of bonds are held by the
money changers whose plan it is to
layo this government purchase Cuba
and the United States to stand good
for these bonds for which the tax
paying people Of this country would
have to pay, because of the deyas-
tation Of Cuban resources by the
present war. These bonds are now
worth about twenty-five cents on
the dollar, but if the money sharks
can carry out their vicious plans
these bones will reach a par value.
There can be no better evidence of
the presidents Cuban sympathy"
than the fact that recently a mess
age Was sent to the Spanish cabi-
net assuring Mr.. McKinl3y's sym
pathy to Sp&ia" Cuban sympathy"
SO far as the present administra-
ton is concerned, appears to be in
direct interest with the Wall Street
money changers who, after realizing
that they cannot realize anything
on their bonds from the pauperized
Cubans, now propose to extort this
fabulous amount of money from the
taxpayers Of the United States.

A ~Snowballlng Gang in q Cross Street De-
feated by Strategy.
''That was rather a neat way a friend
of mine got the better of a hoodlum
gang of snowballers one day recently"
said Horribly at the club, according to
the New York Sun. HThere were about,
fifty boys of various sizes and ages,
most of them above ten years, and they
had taken complete possession Of a
block on one of the cross Streets up
town. Every man who came into that
street was snowballed out of it, and
the drivers and their horses were mer-
cilessly pelted. Whenever a policeman
would come in sight lookouts would
notify the gang and they would move
to another block and the reign of ter
o would begin there. If a maj de-
cided to chase one part Of the gang the
Others would move up close behind him
and make the attack so terrific that ia.
nine eases out Of ten he would be glad
to fee for his safety.
This friend of mine happened along
when such a bombardment was going
on, and he saw a man wild with rage
escape with hat gone and clothes be-
spattered from head to foot. Now it
was necessary for my friend to go into
that street to serve a legal paper. He
saw the householders crowding to their
windows and enjoying the sport almost
as much as the boys, and he knew that
when his turn anne not only must he
run the gauntlet of a terrific fire, but
he must be subjected to the ridicule
and laughter of the spectators. He
shut his lips tight and went in. He
had been particular to notice a heap of
pretty clean snow about one hundred
feet from where the attack would be-
gin. His hat was soon knocked off and
the snowballs wore pounding him on
the bare head and on his clothes. He
made for that heap Of clean snow as
steadily as he could, and just as he
reached itand just as q ball struck hum
on the head near one of his ears he
threw up his hands and fell into that
nov as if he had been knocked uncon-
scious.
"He had planned this from the start.
There were cries from the spectators,
and shouts that the man had been
killed. Instantly every one of those
street Arabs fled, and in the diminishing
of an eye not one was to be seen. 1t
was an easy matter for my friend to
puA himself together again, and then
he won't on unmolested."

to take their periodicals from the Office

evidence of intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in adYace they
are bound to give notice at the end of

The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any
one for fraud who takes a paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under this law
the man who allows his subscription to
run along for some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, OF orders
the postmaster to mark it refused"
and have a postal card sent notifying
thepublisher, leaves himself liable to
arrest and fine, the same as for theft.

THE BIJOU.

Mr.. c. T. Dazey's big play ''The

scribed as a powerful drama Of con-
temporaneous life, with terSe tren-

Chief among the situations is the run

carry the audience off their feet. An

Of the the stage while in other direc

are in despair when in the distance a
gathering Of hoofs is heard, and in
the midst Of the scene come tearing
pair Of spirited horses, dragging after
them an express wagon loaded with
gold coin, the opportune arrival OF

THE MOOTED QUESTION.

R,iph Beaumont, a famous, radical
Popuiist says:
AND if there is to be other than
the TWO parties, the Republican and
Democrat, then there must be no
fusion with either, and the reform
press must draw the line, and by resp
luton declare in favor of no coalition
with either Of the two old parties, and
refuse to support any candidate nom
mated as such. And any paper that
advocates coalition with the Democ-
racy must be classed as Democratic
PAPER. And unless this is done the
Peoples Party is Il thing Of tie past:
and j the Peoples Party dies, the so-coued
reformed Democracy ,cM simply drift back,
INTO political bdrbarisne. The Demo-
cratic party today has not one single
