his way through the country. and II
was not until the 26tn OF September at
about 10 o'clock in the morning that he
reached the heights from which he
saw the Pacific. On this spot he put
up a cross made of the trunk of tree
and wrote upon it the name of the ruler
of Spain. He then made his way with
his men down to the beach and waded
out into the wafer where he waved
the banner of Spain over the ocean
and proclaimed that IL and all the
lands on and about it belonged to his
king.
Balboa got a great deal Of gold and
pearls on this expedition. He was given
one pearl which weighed twenty-five
carats and VIII J. sold for $1,000, and
in his papers he says that pearls were
so plentiful that some of the indian
canoes had their oars set with them.
He did not find the temple of gold and
an expedition was sent out later TO
search for IL.
Still later Balboa headed an expedi-
ton which carried boats over the
isthmus and there put them together
to explore the South seas They went
out past the islands in Panama bay
and visited the Pearl archipelago. which
is still farther out in the Pacific. The
expedition, however. resulted in no
finds OF great value. and when Balboa
came back the governor Of Darien, who
was jealous OF him and his fame. ac-
cused him of treason and cut off his
head. Frank c. Carpenter

EsQuemeling tells first Of the cap
ture of Porto Bello by Morgan. The
forts which he took are still in exist
ecne, and they lie across the harbor
near the great quarries, from where
We nave been getting the stone for
the concrete work of the Gatun locks
Porto Bello is practically nothing to-
day, but in 1858 il was one of the chief
landmarks OF the new world and was
noted everywhere for its wealth and
Importance. It was then the stron
fortified town that the king of Spain
mad IN the West Indies, with the eX-
cept1ons only Of Cartagena and Ha-
Nana-- Esquemeling says that its castles
were almost lmpregnable, and that the
garrison consisted of 800 soldiers. 1t
mad a population of about 5000 people
and among its buildings were some
SIS5l Narehou buses, where the silver and
soId were brought upon mules. and
where the ships ladned the negroes
brought here to be used as slaves
When Morgan took Porto Rico he
slipped in and embarked some dis
lance up the coast. He then marched
with his buccaneers down to the forts
and put the Spaniards to the sword. He
blew up one Of the castles and set fire
one and the Spaniards fought bravely.
The governor Of the town refused TO
surrender saying, = would rather die
as q soldier than be hanged as a cow
After taking the town the pirates
looted it. They tortured the citizens
&c make them give up their wealth and
this with such cruelties that many died
on the rack.
Besieging Old Panama.
Morgan now sent word across the
isthmus to the citizens of old Panama,
demanding a ransom. This was refused
and the pirate went with his crew back
TO Cuba and thence TO Jamaica to pre-
pare for its capture. They had then in
ready money 10000 pieces of eight, as
well as a great stock of linens silks
and other goods.
The fall of old Panama occurred in
1871, and the fleet which started out
to take it was perhaps the largest
pirate gang ever gotten together It
had 81 ships and 1000 men. Morgan was
admiral and he divided the fleet into
two squadrons and made fixed scheme
of division as to what share every man
should have of the booty. When the
pirates engaged with Morgan they did
not know just where they were going
and had the hope Of plundering either
Cartagena, Panama or Veracruz. They
selected the place by lot, and the lot
fell upon Panama

day season. The fund realized from the sale of the seals gill go toward aiding the National Tuberculosis Society.
 Every Red Cross Christmas Seal that is sold, is real bullet in the ght against tuberculosis. These seals last yeer helped to support thous- ands of needy tuberculosis patients and to give ahem a chance for life'. They provided for many visiting nurses. whose hundreds of thousands visits brought instruction and cheer to numerous pat ents. They helped maintain dispensaries in scores of cities from the Atlantic to the Pa cific, where thousands of consumptive patients received free treatment, aid and advice They provided the means to purchase millions of copies of cir culars, pamplets and other literature with which the public has been edu- cated about tuberculosis. They have established and helped to maintain more than 75 open-air schools for children who needed open7air treat ment. These are just few of the ways in which the $330,000 received last year was expended. This year a million dollars is needed. Surely any one can help by buying at least ten seals.

 Ut is not an exaggerated estimate that ninety per cent of the cases of neglect inquired into the society's of ficers are due to the habis of exces- sive dr hiking on the part of one CT both of the pArents. We must not imagine for moment that these figures, appalling as they are to all who love the children, represent anything more than small fraction of the number of children who are daily suffering serious deprivation by reason of the operations of the drink traffic. There is. throughout our land vast army of little child zen who always go short of parental love, of home comfort, and of neces- sary food and clothing, in order that the brewers and the dist Hers may grow rich.
