wood sent them, under the cont
nEand of Lieutenant Maynard, TO
look for Blac6beard's vessel the
Adventure, which they discovered,
on November %, near OcracOke in
let. not far from Roanoke island.
In maueuvering. the Adventure
was stranded. and as Maynaro.s
vessel approached the pirate poured
into it a murderous fire that swept
off many of it's crew. But undaunt-
ed, Maynard, ordering his men be-
low, steered straight for the Nd
venture. and as the vessels closed.
Blackboard and his crew spraug
upon the deck OF the Virginian and
with desperate courage attempted
to capture her. But Maynard's men
were as desperate as the board
ers, knowing as they did that sur
render meant death. and. rushing
up from below, they met the pirates
in hand -to-hand encounter, and
after a hard struggle succeeded in
overpoWering them.
The Adventure carried eight cam
non, and of the crew of eighteen
men, nine, including Blackboard
himself, We're killed outright, and
nine some of them mortally
wounded, were taken prisoners. or

twelve were killed and twenty-five

But it was the last of Blackbea %.

DLACKBEARD, the most noted
X Of the pirates of the Spanish
Main, ended his career and
his life 1914 years ago. Blackboard,
whose real name was Teach, had
his main rendezvous in the Bahia

sounds of North Carolina for ref

The ravages of the Sea Wolves
Of whom Blackboard was the most
terrible, became so alarming that
the king of England dispatched
Captain Woodes Rogers. the man
who saved Alexander Selkirk from
his desert island, TO break up their
nest in the southern seas. Rogers
was successful in capturing many
Of them, but Blackboard eluded him
and turned to his favorite refuge in

arch pirate to remain idle and he

Now. the good habits that keep
health top-notched are sosfew and
simple that every one can cult
vate and practice them.
Let us begin tonight when work
is done and we go home to supper
It is the very best of good habits
to be absolutely clean when we sit
down to the table to eat. It pays to
eat enough, but not moro than
enough, and to eat it in such
cheerful frame OF mind that every
body else becomes cheerful just
from being with US. That is some
times a difficult habit to practice.
but it is a great health bringer
Try it.
Improving the Mind.

health and skill are worth Ten

or so to double skill capitalization

clean and sleep enough 10 rest the
body thoroughly for another days
work is actually putting health into
the bank to be drawn out in the
future. Many people Of rsood
hearts and bad judgment tempt US
to sit up until a. M, and so re-
duce our capitalized value for the
next day by ore half To a work
ingman that costs too much. He
can not afford it.
When We get up in the morning
il will pay to forget utterly the Old
rule; To live the day as if it were
your last
Let us get Up with the conviction
that this is the first. The slate IS
wiped clean. Get fresh start.
Keep the body just as clean as pos
sible. Eat food cheerfuly. Pass
good cheer around to everybody
else and remember that we have

Good Habits Help.

Good habits not only keep US wei
today and allow US to increase skill
but they actually put health in the
bank for us. where it draws a high
rate of interest and accumulates.
Bad habits are like the white ants
of the tropical countries. They find
their way into root, trunk branch,
stem and every fiber. They work
unseen and eat the heart out of
everything they touch.
Then. one day, the wind blows
and down falls the tree which look
ed so sturdy and strong outside,
but which for a long time had been
conceaIing the trouble it had inside.

IT HERE is just one way to avoid
falling in a heap like an ant
riddled tree. Don't contract bad
habits. And there is just one way
to stand so firmly and to be so
strong that the winds of heaven
can not destroy you. Contract good
habits.

a clean Stable for the Cows.

A dirty, filthy COW stable is mex.
cusable. 1t is a bad habit that must
be abolished. Every farmer should
take pride enough In his business and
in his own self-respect to abandon
the habit of housing the cows In a
dirty stable. His regard for his fam.
lily and the good name of his chill
dren should induce him to reform In
this line. But the real menace is the
danger OF the product from such a
stable. 1t is a crime for any man to
deffle q food product whatever the
law may say.
