FROM BUCCANEER TO PIRATE.
The Brethren of the Coast Warred
Against Every Nation.

The buccaneers had grown TO De Teck-
less freebooters. And when they be-
came soldiers and marched in little
armies, the patience of the civilized
world began to weaken. Pampa, Tor
instance, was an important Spanish
city; England was at peace with Spain;
therefore, when a military force COM
posed mainly of Englishmen, and led
by a British subject, captured ana
sacked Panama, if England should not
interfere with her buccaneers she
would have a quarrel to settle with
Spain.
So a new Governor was sent to ia
maica with strict orders to put down
the buccaneers and to break up their
organization, and then it was he set
thief to catch thieves, and empowered
the ex-pirate, Morgan, to execute his
former comrades.
But methods of conciliation, as well
as threats of punishment, were used
to induce the buccaneers to give up
their illegal calling, and liberal offers
were made to them to settle in Jamaica
and become law-abiding citizens.
But these offers did not tempt the
Brothers of the Coast; from active pi-
rates to retired pirates was too great
change, and though some of them
returned to their original avocations OF
cattle butchering and beef drying
some, it is said, chose rather to live
among the wild Indians and share their
independent lives, than to bind them
selves to any form of honest industry.
| The French also had been active in
suppressing the operations Of their buc-
cancers and soon the Brethren OF the
Coast, considered as an organization
for preying upon the commerce and set
tiers of Spain, might be said to have
ceased to exist. But it must not be
supposed that because buccaneering
had died out that piracy was dead.
Driven from Jamaica, from San Do
mingo, and even from Tortugas, they
retained a resting place only at New
| Providence, an island in the Bahamas,
and this they did not maintain very
Hong. Then they spread themselves all
over the watery world. They were no
Ilonger buccaneers, they were no longer
"Brothers'' of any sort, they no longer
| set out merely against Spaniards, but
their attacks were made upon people OF
levery nation They confined themselves
to attacks upon peaceable merchant
vessels often robbing them and then
lscuttling them, delighted with the spec

The scene of piratical operations In
america was now very much changed.
The successors of the Brothers OF the
Coast, no longer united by any bonds
of fellowship, but each pirate Captain
acting Independently in his own wicked
way, were coming up from the West
Indies to affiict the more northern sea

towards the Americans in the struggle
then impending and now on. From per-
sonal knowledge 1 say that the aver
age English army and navy officer and
even nobleman sees, and sees with glad
ness. that the cause of America is the
cause Of mans rights and mans dig

man who knows God did not create
millions of men only for pageant max
ing, crown-wearing monarchs, or un-

is the English contingent or the lone

Of the oppressed.
Men and brethren from intimations

and gentlemen we know the big British

American squadron. And the officers

A warning which must be needed,
or, as with the express train
which fails to regard the dan
ger signal, disaster must follow.
A sure indication of thin, weak, i'm
poverished blood. A certain adj
monition that the blood is not
properly feeding the nerves, tbs
sues and organs of the body.
An imperative demand for the tonic,
vitalizing effect of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla upon the blood.
Weak, nervous, tired men and wom-

strive too hard to "keep their
ends up" women too anxiously
work "on their nerves" to meet
the demands of home and society
all have too little sleep, and the
excessive drain on strength and
nervous energy will soon COM
pletely ruin health.
The strength must be built up by pure
blood, and the nerves must also
find in pure blood the proper nerve
food. For this purpose nothing
equals Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The thousands of wonderful cures II
has accomplished, the like OF
which no other medicine and nc
combination of medicines can
show, prove its curative merit
prove that it has never been
equalled as a blood medicine
prove that Hoods Sarsaparilla is
indeed the ideal spring medicine,
the best nerve and stomach tonic,
the one true blood purifier.

Or telescopes, or chalk,
Or blackboards, maps and copy-books-
When they could only talk:
Before Columbus came to show

What did they teach the little boys
Who went to school like me?
There wasn't any grammar then,
They couldn't read or spell,
For books were not invented yet
/ think twas just as we'll
There were not any rows of dates,
Or laws, or wars, or kings.
Or generals, or victories,
Or any of those things.

There wasn't much to know.

For history had not begun,
The world was very new,
And in the schools, don't see what
The children had to do.
Now, always there is more to learn
How history does grow!-
And every day they find new things
They think we ought to know.

itself under the iron bars of the cubs
cage and, as is its nature, rolled itself
into a ball, thus protecting all the
more tender parts of its body by the
outer hard, shell-like covering.
1t was soon discovered by the cubs
and soon there were visible evidences
of battle. The Infatuated animals
dashed their tails violently against
their bodies, all the while keeping
their gaze fixed upon the armadillo,
which to spectators seemed no other
than a rock. The trouble of the cubs
was communicated to the other cages
and soon lions, tigers and panthers
were in an uproar either from fear or
sympathy. Presently one of the cubs
was seen to crouch and prepare for
spring. Spectators held their breath.
The cub leaped. At the same time
the hard form of the armadillo IN
folded and head shot out from be-
meath the covering. Opening its mouth
it seized the cub by the foot and held
on firmly till keeper came to the res
cue. Then the cubs sneaked into a cor
ner of the cage crestfallen and
