Hugh Shuler SAYS it was easy for
the Keithsburg boys to beat the other
fellows the two games at Keiths-

had three of the best players from the
Gilchrist nine to help them. Baseball

so far that Mat drew revolver and
made some threats about using it.
The neighbors came to the assistance
of the woman and sent to Gilchrist for

Wanlock and quell the trouble. He

y REPRESENTATIVE PIRATE.
Captain Kidd Was Utterly without Any
Sense of Honor.

Sense of Honor.
1t is said that Kidd showed no re-
puntance when he was tried, but insist
ed that he was the victim of malicious
persons who swore falsely against him,
and yet a more thoroughly dishonest
rascal never sailed under the black flag.
In the guise of an accredited officer of
the government he committed the crimes
be was sent out to suppress. He deceiv-
ed his men. He robbed and misused his
fellow countrymen and his friends, and
he even descended to the meanness of
cheating and despoiling the natives of
the West India islands with whom he
traded. These people were in the habit
Of supplying pirates with food and other
necessaries, and they always found their
rough customers entirely honest and
willing to pay for what they received,
for as the pirates made a practice of
stopping at certain points for supplies
they wished of course to be on good
terms with those who furnished them.
But Kidd had no ideas of honor toward
people of high or low degree. He would
trade with the natives as if he intended
to treat them fairly and pay for all he
got, but when The time came for him to
dior he would seize all the comnod-
ties he coHld lay his hands On and
without paying copper to the distress
ed and indignant Indians he would gay
~ sail away, his black flag Haunting
derisiEely in the wind.
But although in reality Captaip Kidd
was no hero, he has been known for g
century and moro as the great American
pirate, and his name has been repre-
sentative of piracy ever since. Years
after he had been hung, when people
heard that q vessel with a black flag
or one which looked black in the dis
tanee-Gying from its rigging had been
seen, tkey forgot that the famous pirate
was dead and imagined that Captain
Kidd was visiting their part of the coast

WONDER if Secretary Alger does

they simply follow a custom which, being
vicious, grows more vicious with age.
This bad custom prevailed in most of the
state institutions few years ago. With the
exception of a few professional men, the fit
ness of the employe had nothing to do with
his selection. Supplies were not purchased
on the best terms, but of those who had

their subordnates. This evil reached its cli-

business methods. There is no reason why

Regarde ed as a Lost Judea."

Mrs. C. NJ. Carter, in Baptist Outlook.
Too long have we remembered only that
He said Unto the uttermost part of the
EARTH" and in our haste and eagerness to
go or help send, the messengers. we have
forgotten that He just as plainly said: Be
ginning at Jerusalem our own local
church; then "all Judea"-the State; and
then 1.-The regions beyond" 1t is an appal-
ling fact that of the over a million and a
half of souls, not counting children, com
prising our population, only few over one
half million belong to Christ even in name.
Or, in other words, out of every three peo-
pie we meet on the streets or highways two
of them are without Christ or hope in the

nected with the work III Indiana. 1t is just
plain. common everyday work among the

We have but just celebrated our hundred
years of history, and those years make e, u up
a story of toll, struggles against great diff
culties, and heroic achievement that cause
our hearts to throb and our cheeks to glow
with honest thankfulness until we compare
our strength and standing with that of fifty
years ago, and then we hang our heads in
shame, for in comparison with our oppor-
tunities at that time we are not doing to-
day for state work what we did then. Our
hearts are always moved with the story OF
sacrifice wherever ii be, and 1t is right that
1t should be SO. but do you know that IN

loads patiently borne, whose homes are

feel the inspiration of meeting the brethren
and listening to the story of achievements
as recounted at our yearly meetings, and
yet for love of the Master who said, Fee
my sheep they toll on year after year and
no one but God and an occasional church
