DESCENDANTS OF CROMWELL'S
IRONSlDES.


Europe under his heel, he sent out an
expedition which captured Jamaica
from the Spaniards. Some of the men
I in that expedition were veterans of
Naseby and Marston Moor, and they
were naturally advanced to the highest
offices in the new colony. But when
Charles II came to. his own again
these men found the times out of joint.
They were deprived of their offices and
harshly treated by the Royalist au-
thorities.
Unwilling to bow the knee to Baal,"
they sold their possessions, bought a
ship, and sailed away 20 co1onize the

hindered by kings or governors. They
, were another shipload of Pilgrim
Fathers.
The Caymans We're desert islands,
occasionally used by buccaneers for re-
fitting and provisioning their ships.
The ironsides made short work of those
gentry. and had the islands to them
selves They established a patriarchal
form of government, titled the ground
built houses and villages, and sailed
the neighboring seas in ships of their
own construction. They hoisted the
British flag. but practically they were
an Independent people.
Their descendants today are nomi-
nally subject to the Governor of ia
naica. but they make their own laws
and govern themselves through elected
overseers and vestrymen. All the other
colonies in the West Indies are auto
cratically ruled by officials sent out
from England, but the Caymanians are
as independent as the Canadians or the
Australians.
Just as they have kept the old En-
gIish methods of government, so they
have kept the old English customs and
manners. The women dress like the
Puritan maids of Oliver CromwelFs
time That is because they never see
a foreign woman or fashion paper.
Daughters have dressed like their
mothers for generations. They have
had no other way. and, even if they
had, a new-fangled idea would have

What splendid-looking men!" eX-
claimed an American tourist, as he
watched half dozen sailors unload
ing turtles from a small schooner an
chored in the harbor of Kingston, ia
naica. Not one of them was less than
six feet tall, and two were giants. Well
built, tanned by the tropical sun,
brawny, handsome, frank of coun-
the ideal sailor.
Don't you know who they are?'
said a Jamaican friend to the tourist.
They are Cayman Islanders. No Won
der you admire them. I suppose that,
physically and morally, they are about
the finest race of men in the world"
The Caymanians, tucked away and
isolated from the rest of the world on
tiny islands in the Caribbean Sea, be-
tween Jamaica and Cuba, have sue
ceeded in establishing that ideal COM
monwealth of which philosophers and
statesmen have dreamed. Crime. i'm
morality and disease are unknown
among them; they have just as much
civilization as is good for them, and
no more: and they hold fast to primi-
tive ideas of duty and religion, and
practise the old-fas hioned virtues.
The Cayman Islands are three in
number-Grand Cayman, Little Cay
man and Cayman Brac. On the first
over thousand people dwell, and they
have even a couple of small towns,
called Georgetown and Bodden Town.
On the second there are about a hun
dred residents, and on the third a bar
rem rock jutting sharply out of the
placid surface of the Caribbean, only
a couple of families dwell.
Unlike the other islands of the West
Indies, they are inhabited mainly by
white people. There are no negroes IN
the smaller Caymans, and only a small
minority of them in Grand Cayman,
and these are recent arrivals. The orig
inal settlers were some of Cromwell S
Ironsides, and the manners and virtues
OF that stern breed of men survive in
their descendants TO this dav

THE WATCH
ON DECK

Reused by Numbered call TO work.
Forth from the fo'csle rolls the
Scandinavian, German, Yank,
And ne whose broad speech marks
him Scotch
Tanned by the touch of sun and wind
Smitten of hunger, cold and wreck
These are the children of the sea
The grumbling, faithful watch on
deck"
The dawn comes creeping from the
East,
The grim. gray water rolls ana
heaves
The tail sails SILVER in the wind,
The halliards creak upon the sheavess
Smoke from the galley stovepipe curIs.
A raw of sun the brass work flecks,
And there's splashing where the men.
Hungry and cold, are washing decks.
Thus breaks another day of toll
Upon old Oceans wrinkled breast
Another day for Sailor Jack.
To whom one day is like the rest
Is like the rest treadmill round
OF duties without ease or end
Until, paid off, in part he finds
In drink an enemy-and friend.
Cursed at his labors on the deep.
Plucked by the plotting erimp ashore.
He drifts round an Indifferent world,
The conquered, yet a conqueror;
For he must win from wind and wave,
Howe'er he ease to rum his foe.
Until this present watch on deck
Becomes the last long watch below

The sun is climbing up the sky,
The lookout sights q distant sail,
The wheels relieved, the sheets are
trimmed,
And foam flies Ger the wizard rail;
The course is laid but where sails
Jack,
This outcast on unfriendly seas?
What haven lights its door for him?

A Black Tragedy.

The woman with four children who
had come through from Denver was
nearing Detroit. The porter had fin
ished brushing them. each one of whom
had demanded attention every fifteen
minutes, when the mother turned and
said:
You have been very attentive to US
during this trip and L wish to reward
you"
Yes 'um.'
What is your name?" she asked as
she took out pencil and notebook.
William White, num-"
She wrote for minute on one of the
leaves of her book, and then tore it out,
and handed it to him with the remark:
"a colored man who is ambitious to
get along will always find friends"
A passenger caught him in the vesti-
bule two minutes later and asked to
see the paper. It read:
Mr.. Pullman: Your man, William
White, has been very attentive to me
and my children. and I would recon-
mend that you raise his salary and let
him know that you fully appreciate his
efforts
MRS. S. B
It was read aloud to the porter and
then the passenger looked at him. He
turned a sort of gray and gasped for
breath, and it was long minute be-
fore he could calculate:

of the chapter. They pick up a few
friends here and there through their
business connections and they find
natives of their childhood homes, with
whom they often become much more
intimate than they ever should have
been in those homes, but their friends,
in NOSE cases, unlike those instanced
above, are scattered all over the big
town. For that reason their social
visits are few and far between.
Indeed, it is about as easy for the

journey would be no longer in time and
less than three times as great in dis

There's another thing about New
York which is unsupported, and that is
that you can live for less money with
in the borders of Manhattan than in
most any other big American city.
This is certainly true so far as
Philadelphia and Boston are concern

you can rent an apartment in the

in the other cities the tenant heats
his own quarters.
Living is higher, however. in the
outlying boroughs, and in the suburbs
than in Manhattan. Meats and vege-
