The American Magazine. In specially
presenting the advantages of that peri
Odical to advertise. says the following
good things about advertising IN gem

Some firms advertise TO lmpress
competitors and TO attract the atten-
lion OF friends. Verify they have their
reward.
Other firms advertiae In Imitation Of
their competitors; or they are forced
into II through Competition. They
too, reap some pecuniary benefit.
Neither class touches bottom. The
basic reason for advertising IL 10 slim

THOUGHT SON
WAS in JAIL

/ VANCOUVER, Wash, Jan. g.
Reading in newspaper that Ralph
M. Ellis had been arrested in this
city for attempted blackmail, and
was in the county Jail awaiting
trial, Mr.. and Mrs. r. Ellis of Big
Horn Basin, Wyoming, took the
first train for Vancouver to come
to the aid of whom they supposed
was their son, Ralph M. Ellis, who
has been away from home for sew
eral years and who has not in
formed his parents of his where
abouts.
They went to the county jaii
and told the sheriff that they had
come to see their son, who was in
trouble, and asked permission to
talk with him. which was granted.
1t was found that the Ellis in Jail
is not their son, but has the same
name exactly. Through him they
learned their son is in Seattle and
married.

Sir Henry Morgans sack of

Morgan from the islands of Tavo-
ga and Tavogagilla:
"a gentlewoman of good quality,
as also no less virtue and chastity,
who was wife to one of the richest
merchants of all those countries.
Her years were but few and her
beauty was SO great as, peradyen-
ture, may doubt whether in all
Europe any could be found to sur
pass her projections either in
comeliness or honesty
Morgan sought at first to make
her his by lavish gifts and luxuri-
GUS care. When she repulsed him
he visited upon her all the igno-
mines and hardship his evil in
genuity could devise, and threaten
ed her with the direst penalties,
until her unyielding virtue con-
quered even his abandoned spirit,
and he released her, unframed.

offered to that girl the position
which Mistress Ching attained only
after years of conquest, with the
alternative of bitter suffering and
torture as punishment for refusal,
1t is curious, indeed, how, out OF
the current BOOKINGS of empire and
out of past jetsam of the sea,

the uses of our most prosaic lives,

Traders generally said that the

wheat has had a seven days ad-

The cold wave has reached the win

found it without snow covering, but

about zero, the cold wave is not
severe enough to arouse apprehen-
sion regarding the growing crop.

end must come sooner or later,
and babe all her followers surren-
der. Paou was made major in the
Chinese armies. and the greatest
pirate queen who ever reigned
passed into obscurity from which
history has since been unable to
extricate her memory.
Besides the mighty empire of
the sea created by Mistress Ching,
the adventures of Anne Bonny and
Mary Read on the Spanish Main,
for years famed as the only wom-
en- pirates, !dwindle into insig-
nificance.
Both Anne Ronny and Mary
Read were tried In 1920 for their
piracies and were condemned to
execution. The sentence was re-
mitted because of their condition,
and they died in prison.
Mary Read was an English girl
who disguised herself as boy and
shipped on an English man-of-war,
deserted, entered the army. fought
in Flanders, married a fellow sol,
der and took up the peaceful call
ing of innkeeper until her husband
died.
She resumed her travels and adj
ventures until, being captured dur
ing a voyage from Holland to the
West Indies, she turned pirate her
self and was one of the most dar-
ing of them all. She was on the
ship of Captain Rackham when
Anne Bonny, daughter Of a Caro-
lima planter, who had eloped with
that picturesque pirate, encOun-
tered her and the pair fought side
by side on the bloody decks of the
pirate ship, the only daredevils of
the whole company when. in fierce
engagements, the rest of the crew
skulked below decks.

rates in that year found that Mis-
tress Ching's squadron numbered
800 large warships and 1000 small
ones, with crews amounting to
10000 men. What heights the
great Mistress Ching might have
risen to had not Opatae, comman-
der of the Black Flags, conceived
bitter jealousy Of Captain Paou
it is impossible to guess.
Opatae, at critical time in The
war with the government, with
held aid from Mistress Ching's ia
vorite commander Paou, in a reck-
less rage, hurled against his asso-
ciate an inferior force, and was
repulsed. Opatae, in the hour of
his victory, was filed with dis
may, for he realized that Mistress
Ching would punish him with utter
destruction.
In his apprehension of her wrath
he appealed to the government for
pardon. boon which the beaten
and discounted Chinese admiral
rejoiced to grant. The detection
of Opatae revealed to all the
pirates that there was a way open
to them of escaping the penalty
for their hideous crimes, with
their sole alternative the desperate
one of conquering the whole en-
pire of China.
The proffer of complete amnesty
even to Mistress Ching and to
Captain Paou brought about a
grave council of all the pirate
leaders. PaQu stood out boldly
against acceptance. But Mistress
Ching at length decided that the
