Grenada Was Bought Cheap.

The island Of Grenada. in the Brit.
ish West Indies. was bought by the
French from the Caribs by solemn
treaty In the middle Of the seventeenth
century, and the price paid was two
bottles of rum. Esau's mess OF pot
tage was good stroke Of business by
comparison. The Caribs soon regret
ted having sold their birthright and
vainly tried to get the island back by
force. It Is now one of England's most
nrosperous colonies in the West Indies.
