THE BUCANEERs.
++++++++++4+ q
.HE reign Of TIE 6eoeansers, tia Ia

TIVE reign Of the buccaneers, that
remarkable body Of men who for
more than a hundred Fears were
the terror Of the Caribbean, may be said
to have had its solvent with the Spanish
massacre at Tortuga. which took place
274 years 400 tOday-January p 1888
Aladdened BY the ruthless slaughter
Of their brethren, the buccaneers, who at
that time were more snugglers and
traders than saa robbers, raised the black
flag against Spain and Spaniards, and
before the end came paid them thou
sand times over for the IOrtuga affair.
It IS safe to say that no page Of MIS-
tory IS more thrilling than thar which
deals with these wolves Of the sea, who
throughout the 18th century, IN the Ca
ribbean and the Pacific, performed such
miracles Of daring achievement against
the settlements and commerce Of Spain.
They were cosmopolitan crowd. those
buccaneers, Englishmen. frenchmen,
Dutch, Indian, negro, all bent on war

or shore that bore the seal Of the Hidal-
Cos.
And great democrats. too. were those
sea wolves. and, in Their way, as honest
and square as could be. The spoil was
equally divided among the crews, and in
the gambling which followed the man
who played had to play fair or forfeit his
life.
AT any rate. the buccaneers were not
without their use in the world. without
intending It, OF realizing it. they did a
great work They retarded and curtailed
Spanish colonization in North Amertca.
and at the same time. by weakening
Spanish commerce. paved the way for a
fairer and healthie- intereontinental

fact that some Of the associations to
which are e travelling Libraries seem
to think a fee can be charged for the
use of books and have been making a
practice Of asking the borrowers from
twenty-five cents to a dollar. using
the money to pay freight and any dam
age or loss of books. The six people
who sign the application card agree to
be responsible for the freight and have
no right to require a deposit or a fix
ed charge from any borrower. The
damage or loss to books is SO slight
hat scarcely anything is required for
that purpose and there are generally
a sufficient number of voluntary con-
tributions to provide for the freight.
