Pirates and Strategy.

The virtuous island Of Sark was not
always so. When Edward III. was
king, Sark was haunt of pirates and
wreckcrs. Sir A. Conan Doyle in "Sir
Nigel" tells how they lived not upon
the island. but from what they can
gather upon the sea around it. They

staff breakers who have made their
way to this outland place and hold it
against all comers." The merchants
Of Rye and Winchelsea fitted out an
expedition against those scourges OF
the narrow seas. A landing was OBJ
tanned by strategy. Leave was OBJ
tanned to bury supposititious dead
sailor on the island, the burying party
to come unarmed. But that apparent
coffin was filed with weapons, and so
was Sark cleansed of its evil inhabit.

Grant and Pickett.

New evidence that the great men

appears in story told in Colonel Mich

Mystery"
While Grant was president General

against the Union forces the last day
at Gettysburg, called at the White

When Tea Wa Os,r.

Those who grumble at the price of
tea should turn for consolation to the
records OF Its price in early times. At
Its frst Introduction into England
ABOUT the middle Of the seventeenth
century, tea fetched anything between
tt and flO pound. and though a fall
IN price quickly took place the East
!ndia company still had to pay over
t4 Tor the two pounds Of ten which It
presented the king. However. even
thus 1t Is doubtful If the tea merchants
got very fat, seeing that the importa.
ton Of some 1900 pounds In 1918 was
enough to g1ut the market for some
years.-Lcndon Chronicle,

% JaiI Eor Lahor Leaders.

Samuel Gompers, president; John
Mitchell vice president, and Frank
Morrison, secretary, of the American
Federation OF Labor will not go to
Jail
This was the decision of the su.
preme court of the United States in
the labor contempt cases in which the
three labor leaders were sentenced to
prison.
The case grew out of the boycott of
the Bucks Stove and Range company,
of St. Louis, and the proceedings
brought by that company against the
three labor leaders for speeches and
articles published in the American
Federationist.
Setting aside the sentences of i'm
prisonment imposed by the supreme
court of the District of Columbia, the
supreme court of the United States
held that Gompers. Mitchell and Nor
rison had been erroneOusly sentenced.
BY the finding of the lower court
Gompers had been sentenced TO one
year in Jail, Mitchell to nine months
and Morrison to six months.
