Lament of Old Buccaneers

Said the shade of Henry Morgan to
the shade of Captain Kidd:
"Oh. we lived about three hund. ed
years too soon;
Though we pirated with pleasure,
Just to get a little treasure,
Now they beat us to a very different
tune.
There are modern buccaneers who
make their money out of ships,
Though not just the same as we did on
the main;
For their method isn't gogy
And yet it's quite as fill of glory,
And it doesn't bring the fear of ball
and chain,
"Once we lived upon the water in
restless. reckless way.
Daring knives, and guns. and winds,
al d waves and rocks;
Now landlubters get the treasure
In a more extensive measure,
While they calmly live on water-in
the stocks.
When we raked the Spanish galleons
in the Caribbean sea,
Little thought we, as we stored our
wealth galore,
Men would work a little take-off
BY another sort of rake-off.
And make larger coffe- S cough up all
the morel
las for war. and fire, and pillage. when
we sacked the Span sh towns.
We admit II was rather wanton way:
But the town boss, without sacking,
Has a more substantial backing.
For he owns the town, ard makes the
people pay.
True. we never cared for method
when the money was in sight,
And we never let the trusty cutlass
rust:
And we never, never wrangled
When a foe was to be strangled:
Now they do it more genteely. with a
trust!
Now they talk a lot of margins
we'll, we had some narrow calls,
And the dangers paid for all the treas
ure3 borne;
But the ma gins not so risky
When the lambs" so gay and frisky
Answer to the call ard come up to be
sho. n.
Talk of captains of Industry We
can put them all to rout.
For in h story making we have had
our share:
But for lucky speculation,
And for great accumulation.
We we. en't in it With the modern mil
lionaire!

PAVILION OF FRUITS
A California Couhty's Unique
Display at Worlds Fair

With dried fruits there has been
performed at the worlds fair feat
of architecture that vies in beauty OF
design with the most pretentions cle-
ations of staff. In the great palace of
agriculture is a most unique pavilion
erected by Santa Clara county, Cali
fornia, for the display of Its fruit
p. oducts.
Choosing for a model the old San
Luis Rey mission near San Diego. the
builders, with dried prunes. apricots,
figs and peaches have fashioned the
walls and towers in all of their old
Spanish picturesqueness, and with
more of the edibles a miniature ie-
production of the Lick obse. vatory
has been designed as crowning orna-
ment for the unique structure.
Twenty thousand dollars was appso-
priated for Santa Claras participation
in the fair, and the space cove ed by
the county's exhibit is larger than that
allotted to the island of Cuba. which
adjo.ns it. The pavilion covers 35xzl
feet of room and altogether 1910 squaI e
feet of space is taken up by the ex-
hibits.
Not alone do the luscious exterior
walls faithfully po. tray the outlines OF
the old mission, but inside the prod
ucts of the orchard have been dis
played in such array of splendor that
a NEUROLOGICAL palace is at once
brought to m nd. Jars of pIese we'd
fruits are embedded in the structure
of ballustrades and archways. giving
the appearance of sections of stone
inserted by the skill of masonry.
What a go geous spectacle is the in
te ior Chandeliers formed by clus-
ters of globes filled with sparkling
wines ard juices. behind which are
hidden powe full electric lights. illu

dishes of Santa Clara sweets are
served to visitors. Here will bt
served not only fresh and dried fruit
but demonstrations viii be made O
how they are used in making prepara
tions intended to delight human appe'
tites.
Wonderful is the color effec
achieved in the decorations with th'
limited shades to draw from. With al
artists hand the ebony hue of ths
pune has been blended with the
bright red orange and the tint of th'
dried apricot ard the gray and white
of the bleached peach in a scheme
that is as pleasing to the eye as ons
made with all the colors of the paint
er's palette.
Four tons of dried fruits were USED
purposes. Vari-coiored urns of frui
purposes. vari-colored urns Of frui
have been a ranged in the windows
with such an effect as to cause th'
