William Kidd probably has received
more fame from little piracy than
any other sea robbcr IN history. There
are some persons who persist in as

of having murdered his mother

If some of the men now in poll

more than probable that the tax

to aspire to the profession of poll

Anybody can be popular, but it
takes a real man to be unpopu-

is more truth than poetry in the

too many persons try to be just
as devilish and mean as the
devil himself under the false de-
fusion that, their ideas are to
revolutionize the world and that
they are living a hundred years
ahead of their time. There sim

pie to thinking, but too much
