! a PIRATE porENrArR.


YrSm . welsh Farm 20 the C0mMnna q
Bnccaaeer BlS0G
Mr.. Frank r. Stockton, in his
buccaneers of Our Coast" in 81.
Nicholas, says:
Sometime in the first half of the
seventeenth century, on a secluded
Welsh farm, was born a little boy.
His father was q farmer and his
mother churned and tended the COWS
and the chickens, and there was no
reason to imagine that this baby,
born and reared in rural solitude,
would become rover of the seas
and one Of the most formidable pi-
rates that the world ever knew, yet
such proved to be the case.
The baby's name was Henry Nor
gan, and as he grew a distaste for
farming grew with him. So strong
was this dislike that when he be-
came young man he ran away to
be sailor. He found a ship bound
for the West Indies, and in this he
started on his hfe's career. He had
no money to pay his passage, and he
therefore followed a usual custom of
those days and sold himself for
term of three years to an agent who
was taking a number of men to work
on the plantations. These men when
enlisted were termed servants, but
when they had been set ashore in
the new world they were generally
called slaves and certainly treated
as such.
When young Morgan reached the
Barbados, he was resold to planter.
and during his term of Office he prob
ably worked a good deal harder and
was treated much more roughly than
any of the laborers on his fathers q
farm, but as soon as he was free
man he went to Jamaica, and there
were few places where-a young man
could be more free and moro inde-
pendent than this lawless island.
Here were rollicking and buster
ing 'flibustiers, and here the young
man determined to study piracy. He
was not a sailor and hunter who
by the force of circumstances grad
ually became a buccaneer, but he
deliberately selected his profession
and Immediately set to work to ac-
quire a knowledge of its practice.
There was a buccaneer ship about to
sail from Jamaica, and on this Nor
gan enlisted. He was a clever fel-
low and very soon showed himself
to be a brave and able sailor.
After three or four voyages he &C.
quired a reputation for remarkable
GOODNESS and showed unusual ability
to take advantage of favorable cir
cumstances. These traits became
the foundation of his success. he
was also a good business man, and,
having saved considerable money,
he Joined with other buccaneers and
bought a ship, of which he tool
command. This ship soon made it.
self scourge in the Spanish seas.
No other buccaneering vessel was sC
widely known and 30 greatly fear
ed, but the English people in thos'
regions were az proud of the dash
ing young Captain Morgan as if h
had been a regularly commissioned
admiral on a lawful cruise. Befor'
long he was recognized as buccaneel
in chief of the West Indies, and b,
very soon gathered together 13ship'
and 700 men.

witness to the violent interference
by them in the nest building of rob-

as our native birds are, they always
relinquish their task. Here is a

TROUBLE ABOUT THE HATS.
EWeceu Of AbsentmIndedness Among MEM
hers Of . Club In Newark.

E40OeB OF ADS@ntmtnoeumes9 Among me-
bers Of . Club In Newark.
There is a club in Newark, N. j.,
whose members seem to have con-
siderable trouble about their hats
when they lay them in the rack at
the clubhouse. There have been fire.
ouent instances lately in which
members have been unable to fnd
their own hats when ready &c 60
home. It is a most sedate club, with
9 membership largely made up OF
staid, middle aged merchants, man.
ufacturers and professional men,
and there is not the slightest reason
for attributing the exchange OF
headgear to jOcularity or convivial-
ity.
It is regarded as simple absence OF
mind when a sober lawyer goes
home with a derby three sizes too
small for him perched on the top of
his head and compels some equally
grave member to wear q hat which
rests on his ears, or when member
leaves his silk hat behind and huT-
ries home wearing a soft hat which
is the counterpart of one hanging in
his own hall.
1t is said that this latter occur
renee happened quite recently and
that when the member reached home
and saw his own brown alpine on
the hall rack he compared the two
huIriedly and hastened back to the
club Just in time to find the owner
of the brown hat making a time
about its disappearance. The f1us-
tered member handed over the soft
hat and explained the mistake, but
was still more fiustered when the
other member said:
But this is not my hat. buy my
hats of Smith, and this is one of
Jones'"
In comparing the hats in his hall
the absentminded member had nat
urally put his own hat on his head
and rushed back to the club. The
two members live close together,
however. and the exchange was
made that night. Another case
which happened did not end SO pleas
antly. A member walked off with
another members hat and discover.
ed next morning that it had the
owners name in it. He called upon
the owner of the hat at his place Of
business and said:
II believe have got your hat.
took it from the club last night and
left mine behind. Did you gel
minei"
II don't know. 1 got some old hat
and wore it home, but the first thing
I did this morning was to buy a new
hat and throw the old one away"
The visitor was somewhat abash
ed, and after a moment said:
What had / better dot ! DEN,
want to be wearing your hat around
town"
"YOu bad better do as I did. &c
buy q new hat and throw mine awAy
Ii was a pretty good hat and reason
ably new, but i don't want it. rvt

NCT DOlNu The WORRYING.
Conditions Under Which Partner
Thinks He Ought to Put In
More Capital.

~ have made discovery" said Mr..
Billtops. in the New York Sun, land
that is that there is likely to be some
one rerson in household that does all
the worrying. There may be others that
fret, and very likely fret over trifiing
things, but the real worrying over
things that have got to be done and got
10 be looked after is usually done by
one person. The person that does the
worrying in my house is Mrs. Billtops-
The children and myself and all hands
lean on her and expect her to do every
thing. / don't know, but / sort of
think that we expect her to provide
things whether we have any money or
not, and she certainly does seem to
make everything come out all right
somehow.
Now. as a rule, among men, the
man who does the worrying gets paid
for it. He is usually the man at the
head of an enterprise, or a concern, or
| department, or whatever it may be,
who is able to do the work and willing
to take the care ard responsibility of
it. Those under him may pile their
cares UP on him, and he shoulders them
many man-easily. There are,
thank goodness, plenty of men that
don't shy at responsibility.
But these men get paid for what
they do. and Mrs. Billtops does not,
unless she counts my appreciation as
something. The children don't realize
what she does; they expect it. And as
for me, the silent partner, if I dom,
stand up and take the knocks, I think
/ ought at least to put in more capital.'

Marietta People Reason Easily and

In former times liniments and plas-

cause people mistook effects for dis
eases, and attacked pain where they
found IT. Temporary relief convinced
them they were right, and SO they laid
a return of the pain to a return of the
complaint when in fact the disease
was there all the time. Backache is
not an aching of the back, but an ach-
ing Of the kidneys, and remedies must
reach the kidneys and be perfect in
their work at that, before permanent
relief is secured. Doan's Kidney Pills

way at once because the kidneys re.
sumo their normal functions and there
