KNEW LAFITTE THE PIRATE
Recent Death of n Texas Veteran
Who Ran Errands for the
Bold Buccaneer.

John Iaams, an old settler who died
In Galveston, Tex, recently, aged 81,
was probably the last person living who
had known the celebrated pirate, La
ftte. Iaams often described LATTE,
whom he had seen frequently at Bara-
tava and afterward at Galveston. The
old Texan, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, was boy then, but peculiarities
of the buccaneer remained fixed firmly
in his memory. Iaams said that Laiitte
was in the habit of going up the bayous
running into Berwick's bay with his
boats and number of men. He was of
vigorous build and very good natured,
selling the women at their own figures
pretty things he had captured. He was
very popular with the people, and once
gave young Iaams four dollars for div
ing into the bayou and bringing up q
pistol he had dropped into the water
while standing on one of his boats. lie
would laugh and joke with his men, but
his word was law to them. They would
have resented being termed pirates,
called themselves privateers, and none
of the people cared to excite their re-
sentiment, Iaams came to Galveston IN
1922, before Texas dreamed of indie
pendence, before Sam Houston had set
foot on the soil, and before Travis,
Crockett, Bowie or Fannin had thought
of the cause for which they afterward
gave their lives. He was o soldier In
the Mexican war.

DoG-TIGaT GATES.
Precautions Taken Because Ours
Must Not BE Killed by Prus-
Elan Railways.

According to a recer decision of a
Prussian court the railroads in that
country must lave dog-tight crossing
gates or stand liable for any canine in
juries resulting from failure to do so,
says Law Notes. Some time ago, while
the gates were closed at q railroad
crossing in Munster, an aristocratic
hunting dog, in the active pursuit of his
vocation, eluded the obstacle and struck
the track at that point simultaneously
with an express train. The train passed
on unscathed, but the dog had to be
picked up with sponge.
In suit by the owner to recover
$50 damages for the taking off of his
blue-blooded pet, the railroad company
claimed that it had performed its whole
duty in shutting the gates, and that if
the dog was so ill-mannered as to climb
over or crawl under in the face Of such
q manifest desire to exclude linn, then
the blame was with his master. The
court, however, held that it was the
duty of the railroad to keep the dog off
its tracks, and appointed experts to de-
termine whether the barriers provided
were reasonably calculated to prevent
the passage of unwary dogs. They re-
ported adversely to the defendant, and,
after further reference to experts in
canine pedigree to determine the value
ofthe deceased, the plaintiff was award
cd $50, with interest from the date of
the catastrophe.

ARMY OFFICERS AT FIFTEEN.
That Is the Age of Some ofthe Youth
full Colonies on AEuinnl-
dos STAFF.

"From the American point of view
the insurgent leaders over in the Phil
ippines are all a pack Of boys" says
Louis Rodriguez, the Filipino, now re-
siding in New Orleans, who has applied
for the position of stenographer on
Gen. Otis staff, according to the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. ut may sur
prise you to know that their average
age is between IS and IS. know near
ly all of them personally and many OF
them are the sons of our old friends
and neighbors, so am not at all likely
to be mistaken. There is hardly no
tive officer In Aguinaldo's whole com
nland who has reached 80, and very
few who are over IS. know positively
that some of the colonies and minor
officers are boys between Is and Is.
at should be borne in mind, however,
that young people mature much more
rapidly in that tropical climate than
they do in this country. There IS is re-
garded as an age of discretion and re-
sponsibility, and not few marry even
Younger. Severe, fong-continued en-
ertion is impossible in the latitude OF
Manila, and man Of IS ought to be pro-
vided against future wants. To that
end he has to begin early. Aguinaldo
chose boys for his officers because he
was shrewd enough to appreciate the
military value of the enthusiasm OF
YOUTH"

PRETTY REGULAR.
Little Deviation from Schedule Time
In Mails Between New York
and London.

The reliability O: the law of averages
is strikingly shown in the carrying of
the mails between London and New
York. This service has been in the
hands Of an American line of steamers.
The returns to parliament for the year
1894 indicated remarkable degree OF
regularity.
The distance from St. Martin's-le-
Grand-the site of the London post Of
fice-by way of st. Paul's churchyard
and Blaclfriar's bridge, to Waterloo
station, and thence by rail to the ships
side at Southampton, is S1h niles;
from the dock at Southampton to the
pier at New York, the distance is 1900
nautical miles, and 1t is assumedthat
the New York post Office is half mile
farther-total distance, 3,e13h statute
miles.
The mails carried by the City of
Paris and by the City Of New York, re-
spectively, covered this great distance
on an average. outward from London,
in seven days, six hours and 55 minutes,
while the inward journey TO London
was made, on an average, in seven days,
six hours and SO minutes. This regu-
larlty was secured against all deten-
tions In the crowded streets of the two
cities, the difference in sailing routes
across the ocean, and the chances of
fogs, storms and icebergs on the At
lantic.

oUADRUpLETs ARE SCARCE.
Statistics Show That They Occur Not
Moro Than Once in Every
100000 Births.

The recent birth of bankruptcies, four
girls, to Mr.. and Mrs. James Platt, Of
Union Mills, Ind, has awakened con-
siderable interest in multiplicity in
birth, and caused member of the med
ical fraternity to search the records to
find similar instance of four girls
born at one time. The result Of the
physicians research, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, is statistical evidence that
euadrupltts are supposed to occur once
in about every 100000 births There
are 72 instances recorded in the index
catalogue of the surgeon generals Ii
brary of the United States, but not O
single one is noted as being that OF
females. The health records of Paris
show that in 1CS,0O0 cases during the
past co years, there was but one case
Of bankruptcies,
The 72 cases above mentioned as hav-
ing occurred in the United States are
supposed to cover the entire existence
Of the department in which they are
recorded, In later years there have
been but few cases; one in 1890 in Tex
az, one in 1853 In Canada, and one in
1871 in st. Petersburg. The instances of
the birth of five and six children at
one time are even rarcr, The greatest
number of children ever born to wom-
an at one time was seven,

Messrs. Llp1nsiii as one OF the very Dest
means of getting a clew.
These two men had played their part
well, John thought, and he willingly
paid them off with ESQ each.
Good luck to you" mumbled Dennis,
as he shuffled away, while the tee
simply put his forefnger to his nasal
organ and calculated mum" in mys-
terious fashion and departed.
And now the rest of the business was
comparatively easy. Although the dia-
mond trade act permits an examination
of every person leaving by steamer,
only suspected persons are ever
searched. The three men carried in
thoir pockets each portion of the 3d.
600 carats, and after three days jour
ney to Port Elizabeth got safely on
board the steamer for England without
even question or look from anybody
to cause them any concern.
Table bay left behind, they were In
high spirits, and had very, very merry
voyage home. The remnant of the E l.
200 capital" with which they had been
supplied by the syndicate enabled the
trio to have what they considered
high old time.
Immediately on arrival at Southamp-
ton John wired q message, ambiguous
enough to those through whose hands
it passed on the line, but most reassur-
ing to the syndicate. All was proceeding
serenely.
Few men have ever been in such an
exultant mood as John Wild as he en-
tered the place of meeting, house In
York road, Lambeth, with the 100000
worth of diamonds in O valise, which he
held with both hands. The repre-
sentatives of the Syndicate" - two
hoary-headed old Inscals-were on the
tiptoe of pleasurable expectation.
John undid the parcels and spread out
the glittering vanities with great self
importance. Suddenly No. of the syn
dictate hoarsely CALCULATED: What dye
mean by this?" while No. 2 uttered
cry like toothless old lion asit springs
upon field rat.
Then Johns senses completely Iell
him, as he gathered from the angry,
profane language how the expedition"
had been completely sold.
The diamonds" were crystals and
paste, so deliberately manipulated that
only an expert could have determined
whether they were real gems. Dennis
of course had betrayed them, while Chill
ton was as big fraud as the goods
the term applied to diamonds at Kim
berley.
Needless to say the interview in Lam
beth was exceedinly turbulent, and
ended in the full syndicate falling upon
John and beating him within an inch of
his life.
But he bore his trials with philosophy,
and made atonement for his guilt by
ever afterward stunning the ways of
"syndicates." In course of time he re-
covered his position in society, and In
appearance is now most respectable
person.
Did Dennis and Chiffon come to bad
end? John had much difficulty in
tracing them, but itseems that Dennis
gravitated to johannesburg, and to-day
runs canteen with fair success.
Chiffon is at Matabeleland, achieving
fame as q prospector for gold in that
new land of promise.-Chicago News.

TREES FOR DRAINAGE.
pAose Who Have Land That Would
BE Improved by Being Drier
Should Plant Some.

1t is popular belief that trees about
house tend to make it damp. 1t is
true that after heavy rains dwelling
with trees surrounding it takes more
time to dry out than one not so sur
rounded. On the contrary it is just as
true that where trees are the soil is
very much drier than it would be other
wise. Some years ago the daily papers
had much to say of the drainage of a
malarious district in Rome by the plant
ing largely of the fast-growing blue
gum tree of Australia, Eucalyptus
globulus. There is no doubt that this
rapid-growing tree would quickly
change the character of a half-swamp,
as it grows fast a9d has thick foliage.
When there is lot of trees full of TO-
liage there is great call for moisture
from the ground. The roots are draw
ing it in continually, and this in the
long run accomplishes as much as q
system of drainage would do. have
myself witnessed the great change
brought about by the cutting down and
clearing of trees from low piece OF
land. What was a fairly dry place
while the trees stood became almost
swamp. 1t is not as easy to start ever
greens In such spot as it is deciduous
trees; otherwise they would be better
for the purpose as there is more evapo-
ration from them in the winter season.
But it must not be supposed that there
is entire rest on the part of decidu-
Gus tree in winter. The roots are active
and especially toward spring On enor-
nous lot Of water Is taken from the
earth by the roots of large tree. This
is why trees near dwellings which are
In damp situations are so valuable. The
cellar of a house which is surrounded
by large trees will be very much drier
than before the trees were there. This
l have seen many examples OF. There
Is no need to plant trees so close that
the branches will reach to the house
and it is not at all desirable that the
limbs overhang it. Deciduous trees are
better than evergreen for planting near
a house. An evergreen is not top
spreader and affords but little shade.
The deciduous one gives the shade in
summer when it is needed, and its roots
are drying the soil to great extent in
winter as well as largely in summer.
One of the best trees for the purpose
is the common white maple. 1t grows
quickly, makes good deal of foliage
and it is much more of surface rooter
than many trees, and this is what
makes it so good for drainage. Those
who may have piece of land that
would be improved by being drier and
would not object to trees doing the
work for them should plant some. The
result would please them very much

A SONG For TIE NOBLE.

Love for the noble woman
Who strokes the soldiers head,
Who leans as sweet. white angel
Above the soldiers bed
Who kneels and who prays beside him,
Who closes the soldiers eyes.
Who spreads the loved flag DER him
When the weary soldier dies.
Cheers for the noble woman
Who opens her palace door
To the lame and the sick and the hungry
Who gives Of her worldly store
That others who toll, who suffer
BY flood or by fire may know
That God on His throne still watches
And Judges the high and the low.
Praise for the noble woman
Who visits the haunts of sin,
To teach and to win where angels
Alone might hope to win;
Who puts away worldly pleasures,
And labors that others may live
To her all terrestrial glory!
All the honor men have to givel
And cheers for the noble woman
Who hides no jewels away,
Who complacently pays her taxes
AS the law would compel her to payl
She smoothes the rough road Of the toiler,
She eases the burdens that bear
On the sick and the lame and the hungry,
And the Lord up above is awarel
The sightless. the orphaned, the helpless
May cherish her name with the great,
Who stand for their homes and country,
Whose duty is first to the state!
He is noble who falls while preserving
The rights that are precious to you
IT'S noble TO do Just your duty
AS an honest citizen, tool

IN AN OLD GARDEN.

Como down to that old garden
or every flower we knew,
When out Of gates of childhood
Th airs Of morning blew,
And arching heaven was painted
: In every drop Of dew.
And you may have the lily
With all her virgin SHOWS,
And you may have the beauty
That bushes on the rose,
But I will have the hearts-ease,
The dearest flower that blows!
Who will shall have the balsams
And store of hydromel.
The purple Of the monk's-hood
With poison In his spell;
Who Will shall have sweet-william
And the canterbury
love the breath of rosemary.
The perfume of the stock,
The proud plumes of the fieur-de-lis
The silken hollyhock;
I love the flaming poppy
And the sleepy four-o'clcck.
But they say that when great angels
Fell plunglng from Heavens frown,
A spirit looking after
Lost q blossom from her crown
1 know it was the hcart's-ease
Came softly floating down.
Oh, bright the honeysuckle,
And sweet his tipping crew,
Tho bird-wings of the columbine,
The larkspur blue as blue
But VIII take the heart's-ease
And all the rest take you!
