A Story of the
Buccaneers
BY EVAN MAC HUGH

One evening about a century and a
half ago a British ship. the Helen Dole,
rode at anchor in a bay on the south
ern coast of Jamaica island. She had
come down through the Windward
passage bound for Kingston. but had
been blown by u hurricane past that
port and had drifted into the bay that
lies beyond. for the wind had ceased
as suddenly as it had come. and, being
disabled, the ship was uncomfortable.
Another vessel had met the same ex-
perience as the Helen Dole. This was
a small schooner, the Pelican. under
the command of a young New Eng
lander. Harry Spencer. He was on
his way to Vera Cruz with a cargo of
blasting powder to be used in the
mines there. He. too, had suffered
from the storm and put into the bay to

The Tight-skirt Crisis

Clark w. McAdams, in the Kansas City Star
You've a very narrow skirt,
Little girl.
Are you sure it doesn't hurt,
Little girl ?
That's a mincing little stride
Where the street is wild and wide;
Are you sure there's room inside,
Little girl ?
What will happen If you slip,
Little girl ?
Aren't you fearful 1t will rip,
Little girl ?
You would better take a sack.
So if anything should crack,
1t would serve you coming back,
Little girl.
Does your mamma know you're out,
Little girl ?
We're afraid to go about,
Little girl.
If we met you in the sun,
With your skirt so thinly spun
Why, we might all have to run,
Little girl.
Let the bottom out a bit,
Little girl.
1t is much too tight a ft,
Little girl.
Az the matter sadly stands,
You'll be walking on your hands,
And in that event-my lands !

III tne STATE tnan the clergy.
Whether the world-wise philosopher
thinks they ought or ought p9t, a large
number of the clergy of this State will
take an open and determined stand for
the election Of the Hon. Edward q.
Stokes at the coming election. There
is no man in the State whose public
and private record is clearer and whose
character applies to the thoughtful as
that of Hon. Edward G. Stokes.
The clergy Of the State with whom 1
have %conversed, no matter of what
political affiinilies, believe that the
Hon. Edward g. Stokes is the only
logical and safe man to elect Governor
OF the State.
1t is not my habit to rush into print
with personal opinion. But when a
man of such character and ability as
that of the Hon. Edward 9. Stokes is
before the people of the State l deem it
un wise to be a silent disciple.
