the details for their murder carefully
planned, Mrs. Daniel Cooper chloro-

INEZ, eleven years old.
SAMUEL. ten years old.
GEORGIANA, five years old.

children to the Alamo theater, treat ID
them to candy and peanuts, and they
marched up and down the streets
after the show, all happy, and with
Mrs. Cooper appearing especially
cheerful. Then they went home, and
the crime followed shortly afterwards.

BRITISH NAVY MYSTERY.
Traditions Regarding the Death OF ST.
ClouGesiey Shovel.

OF the almost complete wreck ~
squadron under Sir CloudesIey shovel
on the rocks Of the Scilly isles. toCcth-
cr with the death of its gallant com
mandcr, the greatest seaman Of the
age. . number OF curious traditions
are associated both with the events
leading up to the catastrophe and the
fate of the celebrated admiral.
The outstanding feature of the catas-
trophe is the mystery Of Shovcl's
death, which will probably never lie
solved. and the latter turns upon the
udmiraIs emerald ring. One story goes
that the body was picked up on the
shore by soldier and his wife and
buried hy them on Forth Hel.ick
sands. \ spot is still shown at Perth
HeIlick as being the burial place of the
admiral. and. according To traditi"'r.
grass has never grown upon ii. Suisse
puenty the Identity of the corpse was
discovered. The remains were eNhum-
ed and conveyed TO London Via PIym-
outh. where they were embalmcl. la
dy Shovel rewarded the soldier with a
pension for life and received from him
the ring found on her husbands finger.
Another story is that Paxton, the
pUrsrr of the Arundel. discovered two
St Mary men QuHrreling over the pos
session of a ring. lie ut once recoG-
uized il as Showers ring and inquired
from which body ii had been taken,
and when that was found he knew
and claimed the body. Lastly. there is
the startling narrative of foul play
viz, that many years after the wreck
an aged woman confessed TO the par
iSh minister on her deathbed that, eN-
hauSted with fatigue. one man who
had been washed ashore on a hatch
reached her hut and that she had muir
dered him to secure the valuable prop
erty on his person. She then produced
a splendid emerald ring taken from
the finger CT her victim and identified
as the gift OF Lord Berkeley to shovel
The responsibility for this story rests
upon the admirals grandson. the Earl
Of ROmney. Modern research reports
rather in favor OF the murder theory.
The ring was eventually recovered, and
altered into the form OF locket and
set with diamonds it is precious relic
of the Berkeley family.
The theory as to how it passed into
the possession of the family of the
original donor is that Lady Shovel re
ceiyed it from the murderess as stated.
and bequeathed it at her death TO Lord
Berkeley. Several old works of refer
ence contain the baseIess story that
Lady Shovel was aboard the ASSOcia-
ton and was drowned along with her
husband BY the way, her ladyship's
ghost is supposed to walk at midnight
in the avenue of May place, hartford,
Kent, once the homo of the Shovels.-

The Serqeant's Tribute.

After the battles of Weissenburg
and Worth, which he had won, the
crown prince, afterward Emperor
Frederick, was sauntering alone one
evening past barn occupied by a
party of Wurttemberg troops. Hear
ing something like a stump oratory
going on. the prince opened the door
and looked in. Every one rose.
"Oh, sit down. I'm sorry to disturb.
| dare say there's room for me to do
the same" said the prince. Pray,
who was making a speech"
All eyes were turned on a sergeant,
whose very intelligent countenancc
looked, however. sorely puzzled when
the commander in chief asked:
And what were you talking about?"
Quickly recovering his presence of
mind, the sergeant cOnfessed:
well, of course we were talking of
our victories. and | was just explain
ing to these young men how, four
years ago, if we had had you to lead
us, we would have made short work

ADVERTISING.
The Mishtiest Factor In the Modern
Business World.

advertising is today the mightieSt
factor in the business world" writes
Truman 4. De Weese in System, the
Magazine of Business. 1t is an evo-
luton of modern industrial competi-
tion. 1t is a business builder, with
potency that goes beyond human de
sire. 1t is something more than a
drummer knocking at the door of the
consumer, something more than mere
craftsmanship on paper.
advertising is a positive creative
force in business. 1t builds factories
skyScrapers and railroads. Ii makes
two blades of grass grow in the bust
ness world where only one grew be
fore. 1t multiplies human wants and
intensitieS desires. The result is that
1t forces man to greater consumption,
hence stimulates his production TO
keep up with his buying desires.
Before advertising was developed
into a fine art and before II became a
factor i'll the commercial world the
business of the manufacturer and mer-
chant was to supply the normal needs
and desires of the human family: mer-
chandiSing was bounded by mans ne
ccSSitics and by his meager knowledge
of the luxuries which he deemed with
in his reach"

trance and to one or two others cap

crations formed about one-fifth of the
naval power of Spain and seriously
crippled her for the rest OF the war.
no less an amount than 5000 900 was
realized in prize money by the cap
ture Of this wealthy city. or this
great sum we are told that Albemarle
and POcock as commanding respective
~ the land and sea forces received no
less than f122. G91 each. while Commo-
dore Keppers share amounted to as
much as E24.539. and doubtless his
brother, Major General Keppal. receiv-
ed an almost equal sum. Thus the
Keppel family benefited by this expe-
dition to the tune Of considerably over
100000 and it is recorded that Gen
eral Elliott with his share of the prize
money purchased the estate OF Heath

ward took his title Such were the
solid rewards obtainable in war in the
eighteenth century. when the profes
sion Of arms was for the successful
