FATE OF A PIRATE CREW.
Strange Case of the Nancy Brig and a

In the museum at Kingston, Jamaica,

Drown with age and salt water, and II
small tin canister. These articles at
test the truth OF the strangest pirate
story cvcr'tOld.
In 1700 the crew Of the Nancy brig
were apparently honest traders. but did
some piracy now and then on the side.
one day they found it necessary TO 40
into kingston for supplies. Before do
ing SO they naturally removed all
traces of their buccanccring trade.
Among other things they threw over.
board this tin canister stuffed with pa
pers taken from ships they had sunk,
with comments written on Tie margin
by the pirate captain.
Later in the day British friratc
was becalmcd near the spot. and the
sailors spent their leisure catching
ShhrkS. Presently they hauled TN n
hiE fellow. cut him open and found thc
tin case with the papers inside. These
were taken to the captain. who, as soon

Kingston harbor. found the Nancy brig
there and had the crew tried. convict.

HOW THE BOYS MADE GOOD

| The boys made good. There
is an article about Governor
Capper of Kansas in the Novem-
ber American Magazine. It is
interesting. 1t should be read
by boys-boys who believe in
doing things. Here is the story:
arthur Capper, governor of
Kansas, believed one year ago
that any boy with enough am
bition in him to wish to make
a start for himself could be
trusted to pay his debts. To
back up this belief Governor
Capper lent about three thou
sand dollars to one hundred and
two boys in that many Kansas
counties, with the understand
ing that the borrowed money
was to be used to buy one hog,
the further stipulation being
that the animals should be pure
bred, of any breed the boys
might wish to select. It was
agreed, also, that if any boy
won prize in a county or state
fair with his hog the governor
would duplicate the amount from
his own pocket. AS might have
been expected, the cashier in
the governors own business
house hooted when he heard of
the plan. He hooted more when
the drafts began to arrive from
the boys as they brought their
hogs and began the years work.
But he has ceased to hoot. Only
one boy of the one hundred and
two made a complete failure,
and this was what lawyers call
the interposition Of providence,
the hog the boy brought as head
of the expected family having
died ingloriously before her task
began. Not a dollar has been
lost, and the reports Of the
youthful stockmen show that,
/ with the exception mentioned,
every one of them made an ex-
. cellent profit. Indeed the rec
ords contain stories that might
encourage many a man with a
few dollars to invest"
