its harbor-ake these bloody searovers sailed with
rich cargoes captured from the Inflated merchant
men that had fallen into their hands and the
stores of gold and goods from plundered cities
on the mainland. The place was safe from all
pursuers and there the pirates divided their spols
and refitted for raids But in all the chron-
ices of the buccaneers there is little mention Of
Curacao, and no record of it's ever having been
attacked by them. From 1884 when the Holland
ers apparently found it without an owner, the
island vas Dutch possession. Thrifty merchants
settled there, and 1t requires stretch Of the
imagination to suppose that their immunity from
raids due to the excellent facilities they af-
forded the pirates for dsposing of loot The cities
of the mainland and of dozen islands of the
Caribbean were repeatedly ravaged and burned
and the Inhabitants subjected to torture and mas
sacre. But Curacao was unmolested. save for two
Intellectual expeditions for its capture organized by
the Spanish during European wars.
And the Curacao of to-day? Well 1t hasn't
changed greatly, to accommodate itself to
latter-day conditions Rich cargoes still are un-
loaded at its wharves, but they are sent there in
steamers by the merchants of Europe and Amer
Ca Sober peaceful Dutch Jews take the mer
chandise in hand and little later much of 1t is
loaded into sloops and schooners which sail away
for the mainland of Latin-America Still later
this same merchandise appears for sale on the
counters of merchants in the cities of Colombia,
Venezuela and Central America, at prices that
preclude the supposition that it has passed through
the custom houses and paid the heavy import du-
ties that are imposed in those countries.
In word, Curacao has become the headquar-
tiers for the smugglers of the Caribbean. Little
is heard of this, for silence best serves the pur-
poses of most of those concerned. hint at the

ishment the worst way is valuable:

course that must have food nourish-
ment or l could never recover.
Il began to take four tablespoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts and cream three times a
day and for 2 weeks this was almost
my only food; it tasted so delicious
that l enjoyed 1t immensely and my
stomach handled it perfectly from the
first mouthful. 1t was so nourishing !
was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
"Grape-Nuts is of great value as
food to sustain life during serious at
tacks in which the stomach Is so de-
ranged 1t cannot digest and assimilate
other foods.
Il am convinced that we're Grape

1t would save many lives that are 9TH

back to the stream again.
Marvellous is the equipment of this tramway. 1t
consists of one small bobtail with seating ca
pacty for about six persons and no straps, and
one weary, detected little donkey. When the car
reaches the end of it's the motive power stands
on three legs and goes to sleep The car cannot
start back until he wakes up, and Willemstad's
perpetual traction problem is How long will the
donkey sleep this timer 1t would be most
annoying problem if anyone cared, but no one to
whom time is an object uses the tramcar
anyway.
Dutch architecture, somewhat modified to suit
tropical conditions, prevails in Willemstad. The
business buildings are large and not unattractive
the public structures are decidedly picturesque and
many of the residences very handsome. The
merchants rule wealthy and, as has been
intimated, are not lacking in enterprise 1t is only
fair to say that many of them conf1ne their activi-
ties to business that is above suspicion. The port
is important transshpping point for trade In
the Caribbean. It's business men are wondering
just how the opening of the Panama canal will az
feet their prosperity.
Though Curacao is a Dutch colony, and has been
for centuries, the visitor will find few Dutchmen
there; the population is almost wholly negro and
the merchants nearly all Jews. AS for language,
you may have your choice. Address the almost
naked lad sitting the dock ready to dive for
pennies, in Dutch Spanish, English French, and
he will reply in kind-with a request for money.
Speak to him in "papaimiento' and he will take
you to his brown bosom. Papaimiento-literally
''the talk we TALKS the ordinary language of the
common people and is curious compound OF the
several tongues named, together with African and
Indian 1t is like all and yet strangely unlike any
of them.
The tourist landing Curacao for the first time
naturally expects to be confronted at every turn by
bottles Of the queur to which the island has given
its name, but he is disappointed 1t is there, OF
course and for SALE but it is not obtruded on the
passerby. The small bitter orange from which 1t

a product of Europe. Gold fligree work, hampers,
inlaid caskets offered tourists
Altogether, though the ordinary sights of Gu
racao may be exhausted in day, it is well worth
longer visit by the leisurey traveller, and he will
find the inhabitants most hospitable With its riot
of color, it's far oVer-reaching caves, its long
wrought iron signposts, its quaint forts and
crooked streets, its waterways and boats and gayly
clad people Wemstad should be a paradise for

One other industry has Curacao that Is of espe-

Curacao really is the top of an almost sub

1t is of consequence that the notion
of freedom be within US. 1t does
make a difference. How many pass
through life oppressed by the idea
that we are slaves. dominated by en-
vironment and influences that are
fixed, and are no different from the in
animate things about us. 1t makes
difference If We believe ourselves
not slaves to circumstances, not with
characters inevitably fixed. and can
look into the possibilities of the flu
ture and draw strength from them.
We may then be masters of life's
