FATE OF THE BRAKE.
a Treasure Ship That Lies Buried on
Cape Hsniopsn.

a Treasure Ship That Lies Buried or
Cape hsniopsn.
Somewhere In deep water or Cane
Heniopen lies over half a million In
British gold. and how much more in
gold and silver bars and plate and 9th.
er treasures can only be guessed nj,
In 11SS the British privatser Brake
sailed for the west Atlaatic bearing
enough gold to pay OF all the English
troops stationed in yarious parts OF the
new world. As the soldiees had not
been paid in many months the sum
was large one.
Whether the captain OF the Brake
decided to turn pirate or whether he
merely was showing excessive zeal IN
making war on all the enemies OF
England that he met on the high seas
and Intended to turn over his loot to
the crown on his return VIII never be
known, but the fact that the Brake
took no prisoners and sank every prize
goes long way toward proving the
piracy theory. The Brake captured
a Spanish merchantman coming up
from South American ports laden with
rich tribute from the Spanish colonies
there. transferred the precious cargo
to her own hold and buraedt the vessel.
Another Spanish ship bringing a
church service OF richly Jeweied gold
plate to q. new world cathedral en-
eounteFed the priyateeF. and suffered
the same fate. The next TO fall a VIC
tim to the Brakes raRaaiH was o
Frenchman carrying silks, spices, bran
dy and barr OF silver. That. too. was
sent to the bottom after It was de-
spoiled.
The Brake was oveFtaken by q bur-
ricane when nearing the American
coast. was blown far out OF her course
and sank or Cape Hepiopen. Several
OF the crew escaped IN a small boat
and reached land. Their tales OF the
treasure on the sunken ship caused
several expeditions to be fitted out the
Following year. but nothing was
brought up save pieces OF the anchor
chains and cannon or two. During
the last hundred years every effort TO
raise any part Of the treasure has
failed.
The last attempt was made by Cap
tain Charles Adams. who fitted out
ship under the auspices OF the navy
department. but was unable to locate
the wreck. which is probably by this
time deeply submerged In the oOze and
mud Of the ocean hed.-New York

SEEING THE ELEPHANT.

DO you remember the story of the
three blind men who went to "see" the
elephant?
One OF the blind men took the ele-
plant by the ears and. passing his
hand over them. said. 1.-The elephant is
wide and fiat like n pancake"
Another put his hand on the crea-
lures trunk and said; You are mis-.
taken. brother. The elephant is large
and round and tapers TO IA point"
The third blind man seized the ele-
plant as to his tail and said: You are
both mistaken. The elephant is round,
indeed. but he Is small and long like a
hoe handle"
And they went away. each convinced
he had seen the elephant and disput-
Ing with the others as to what the
elephant might he like.
We are all more or less blind.
Each OF us sees only a part OF the
truth. And. seeing In part. we dispute
with our fellows concerning the shape
OF the elephant.
1t is because we have different an
giles of vision.
We see men and things from our
own Individual standpoint, and then
we think we are right and the others
wrong.
And we are thus warped in our be-
liefs and prejudices.
A few years ago the writer made a
visit to a relative who lived on his
farm" OF twenty-four acres a few
miles north of New York city. While
there he told OF wheatfelds In the
northwest thousands OF acres In ex-
tent
1t was evident the New York rela-
tive. who had never been outside his
state. believed his cousin to be stretch
ing the truth out of ali proportion.
And, on the other hand, a western
farmer. being told this New York man
had become fairly wealthy on his
twenty-four acres. laughed heartily at
the 'joke."
In New York city Buffalo is "west"
In the far west Des Moines is ''east."
1t depends on how you see the ele-
plant.
And the moral?
Cultivate the broad vision, the wide
horizon. else you may become not
only narrow minded. but opinionated
and uncharitable.
For instance
You see a single phase of some per-
sons character-a one sided view. 1t
may be you see the weaknesses and
overlook the good points. You judge
the person unjustly.
In seeing the elephant do not de-
eide until you have seen more than
his ears. his trunk or his tail.

JUST ABOUT BABIEs

This writing on how to train a baby
is by man.
The presumption OF it,
What does a mere man know about
pabies? Strange as it may appear. a
man may have learned something from
observation, and his point OF view may
be very well worth while.
Anyway. you will please permit
man who has had babies in his house
to say word to young mothers.
would advise you to decide very
early in the baby's career who is boss
you or the baby.
Of course your baby is lust the
hnest and sweetest baby In babydom.
but all the same 1t doesn't know what
IL needs. 1t thinks 1t knows what IL
wants and so 1t frets and cries and
KICKS until something is done. And
then
When 1T gets something done as fits
reward for making noise and demon
stration 1t has learned that the way
to get things is to make fuss.
The baby cannot be blamed. 1t has
been educated In the art of getting
things by means OF bowls and striy-
ings.
There is sleeping, for instance. Any
body knows that babies are born with
the perverse notion that daytime IA
for sleep and nighttime is for keeping
others from sleep.
Even man kens that babyish pro-
pensity.
The baby needs educating, that's all.
II VIII require firmness to administer
the first lesson. Baby will squat its
precious head OF when you turn down
the light. Let It squall 1t will
eventually save many squalls. After
the first lesson baby will learn that
night is the time for sleeping.

Why She Wa. Riast

hayon had a peculiar way OF deter.
mining the time In which a piece OF
music should be sung. On one occasion
q female singer In high esteem at
court had been appointed to sing one
OF Haydn's compositions. At the re-
hearsal she and the conductor differed
as to the time OF the music. The mat
ter was to be settled by referring it TO
Haydn himself. When called on TO de-
eide ne asked the conductor If the
singer was handsome.
Very, was the reply, "and a spe-
cial favorite with the prince"
Then she is RIGHT" replied Haydn.

Mlrth a medicine:
Certainly. and good one-better
than half the preparations OF materia
medical. 1t is one OF natures real
tonics. balm for life's bruises, a
salve for sorrows, liniment for men
tai pain. panacea for wounded hearts
DIR. Sanderson says:
Mirth. cheerfulness, Is better stim-
ulant for the tissues OF the body than
drugs. which react. Laughter Is an
actual life giving influence. Another
physician has said. Fun is n food and
necessary to Wilderness as bread"
Therefore-laugh early and often.
Most OF us take life altogether too
seriously. We do not laugh enough.
or II we do laugh IL is a stingy sort Of
mirth that does not do much good
We laugh so seldom we lose the dis
position, the power, to laugh. Laughter
is habit. 1t may be cultivated.
A laugh is a massage.
Metaphors aside, a good laugh is a
real massage treatment. When you
laugh your diaphragm gets busy. In
moving rapidly up and down 1t mas
sages the liver, stirring up that organ
to its duty. 1t also affects all the or
gans benefeially.
Laugh and grow fat is a shrewd
observation of many generations.
The old kings were wise. They
hired testers to make merriment for
them. And Lycurgus. able lawmaker.
set up the god Of Laughter In the pub
lie dining room OF Sparta.
Laughter is a good buffer.
1t is like the shock extinguisher
folks put in the rear springs OF their
automobiles. 1t helps TO carry one
easily over the knobs and "thank-you-
ma'ams'' OF LIES rugged road. 1T re-
duces friction to the minimum.
Laughter is normal.
1t is n fact that good health and
mental and physical harmony require
that the fun loving forces that are In
man should be released. Laughter re-
leases them. II these forces are re-
pressed one has an attack Of the
''blues::' II totally repressed-insanity.
Laugh and succeed.
He who bottles up his natural mirth
helps TO paralyze his own powers. A
cheerful disposition and a smiling face
help to solve many a problem in bust.

Men and women by thousands go
every year to premature graves be-
cause they forget to laugh.
