In the, death Of the Grand SecretSfy
of the white Grand Ledge and the valU-
able manuscripts left behind, we are
remiu ded that we too have some old
Masons who will soon be summoned to
the Grand Lodge above, who are full of
valuable information concerning the
history Of the craft in this Jurisdiction,
which should be gathered at once and
compiled at once in book form for the
information of the young Masons now
coming along and these to fellow. The
day is not far distant when We Will be
anxious 10 know things that Brothers
Gleaves, Myers, Watts, Freeman, Cole

answer, but who Will soon be numbered
with tee departed. I want to see Bro
Terrell designate one of these brethren
TO produce such q book. which shall be
q history Of the craft in this jurisdic-
ton. We must not cavil as to how it
can be done; the Grand Master should
appoint committee Of young, active.
energetic and progressive men to pro"
vide the ways and means and the
mOvem ent will be a success. Let us
have history of the craft ritten by
one of our brethren, many of whom are
fully comp etent to do the work.

plncehed dts ear. A squeak followed He
lifted the pig and presented it to Capt.
Weber Round his little curly tail was
tied a label with this inscrpt'o on: Capt.

pliments Of Joss"
1t was too much for the skipper Of the
Happy-Go-Lucky. He didn't know how
to take 1t. In fact, all of US were as
founded. 1t was the cleverest Juggling
trick ever seen. Capt. Weber fully be
lieved in the black art ever after. He was
going to throw the magic pig overheard,
but Capt. Caleb begged so hard for It
that Webber made him a present of the
little beast, whose mystery has ever been
"a mystery to all who witnessed its crea-
ton. My opinion Is that Mr.. Rou Cigar
denis compredore and Capt. Caleb, Of the
Yankee clipper Eastern Star could have
thrown light on the subject had they felt
so disposed. The writing on the label was
very like Caleb's. The juggIer and the
compredore were seen much together
after the incident of the pig, and it was
the talk OF the town that the compredore
had been quite lucky in the way OF col
Letting much "cumshaw" about that
time, was quite flush of cash, and that
the josshouse, the opium joint and the
gambling den had been benefited literally
by his contributions. Capt. Caleb, who is
now retired and lives at Salem Mass
has in his possession a certain box with
a false bottom and ingenious mechanism
with which skillful jugg.er might per-
form many wondrous feats. 1t would
hold a little pig easily.

peace and honor.
The exact date OF the notorious sea-
mans arrival in the city is not material
but it was previous to 1891, for he had
been here long enough to WOO and win a
wealthy widow and be accepted as her
third husband. IN tho old marriage
licenses Of New York appears the fol-
lowing under date of May 16, 1861:
"A lyceuse of marriage granted unto
Capt. W llliam Kidd, of Newe York Gent,
of the one part, and Sarah Ocrt, the wild
ow of John Oort, late Of New York mer-
chant, deceased
Kids wife owned the house at sc Wall
street which had been left to her by her
first husband, William Cox, q prosperous
merchant, who owned considerable prop
erty in the lower part Of the city. He
was drowned in Staten Island bay in
August, 1889, and between that date and
May, 1851, his widow had married and
lost her second husband. It may be in
teresting here to state that, undaunted
by the decease Of so many husbands, Mrs.
Kidd, after the execution on the gibhet
in England of her pirate husband, in l7O1,
married for the fourth time. This was on
Nov. 4, 1908, and the husband of her final
matrimonial venturer was Christopher
Rousby.

Happiest Moment of His American

During the Prince of Wales stay I'm

visit to America in 1861 he was Presi-
dent Buchanan's guest, and occupied
apartments in the executive mansion
looking over Lafayette square," writes
William Perrine in the Ladies Home
Journal. "One evening. when an elabo-
rate display of fireworks was given in
his honor he stood on the balcony of the
White house, together with Mr. Buchan-
an and Miss Lane. amidst great cheers.
When dining with his hosts he would es-
cort Miss Lane 10 the table, seating
himself at her right His manner was
somewhat bashful, and most public cere-
monies apparently bored him. But while
he was with Miss Lane and the coterie
of beautiful women Of her set it was
noted that for the first time since he
had been in this country he seemed to
show the manner Of a gallant young
gentleman DESTROYS OF pleasing. One of
the merriest mornings she had with him
was at a gymnasium at Washington, at
tached to female seminary. On the
brass rings, suspended from the ceiling
he swung himself ono by one across TIE
room, and the whole rarity laughed hear
tily at his pranks on the rope ladder
Then he fell to playing ten-pins Miss

in conquering Mrs Thompson and tina

of the vlctors to play against each other,

Capt. Kidd never enjoyed possession of
these generous gifts. Before coming to
New Yor..4 he had acquired considerable
fame as brave seaman and had several
successful encounters with the French.
Pirates infested the seas, and the Eng
lish government decided to make war
upon them and drive them from some of
their most frequented localities. A ship
of PSI tons and carrying thirty guns was
accordingly fitted out, and the command
given to Capt Kidd. who sailed from
Plymouth harbor, England, in 1886, on
his mission against the pirates.
The story of how, yielding to the temp
tation to turn pirate himself, he soon
became the most famous and fercest CT
those ocean robbers, is too well known
to need repetition. He was never in New
York City again, although he buried
quantity Of treasure on GARDENERS ISL
and, much of which was afterward re-
covered, and he Is supposed to have
landed at or near Oyster Bay and buried
another quantity of treasure. He was
finally arrested in Boston in 1863, taken
to England, where he was tried for the
crimes CT piracy and murder, and sem
fenced to be hanged. which sentence was
carried out on May IL, 17O1.

Rat. Like Sweet Potatoes.

A veteran provision dealer is au-
thority for the statement that moth
ing will draw rats like sweet pota-
toes. They seem to be able to smell
this toothsome vegetable from afar
and will come in droves wherever
sweet potatoes are stored. In proof
of his assertion this dealer said that
he never kept potatoes in his cellar
with other vegetables, but placed
them up in dry loft. Having large
cold storage chest in his cellar he had
previously tried the experiment of
placing basket of sweet potatoes
inside, and. although the rats could
not puncture the walls they did gnaw
the woodwork of the chest, trying to
get at the tubers-N. Y. Sum-.
