SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN
Deeds Of New England Man, If Truly
Recorded, Are Surely Worth
Note in History.

A correspondent in Buenos Aires
his letter is dated September 20
asks If we ever heard Of Captain
Smylie," a historic figure on the
Falkland islands about forty years
ago.
Captain Smylie," he writes, twas at
one time New England whaler. For
him are named Smylie channel and
Smylietown, which may be seen on the
chart. He afterward became United
States consul. Strange stories of his
doings survive and are told on the
Falkland islands to this day. A late
British governor of the islands col
lected some of the stories, but can
not learn that they were published.
One was to the effect that our state
department decided to remove him
from Office and sent a successor, who,
when he called to present his creden-
tails and demand the seal, was kicked
out by the captain. The United States
government had finally to send war
ship to remove Smylie.
another story is that Captain Smy-
lie was publicly fiogged by order OF
the British governor for some mis-
doing. AS the captain later sailed
away he planted two shots from his
ships small gun into the governors
residence. Returning after six
months cruise, he sent a letter OF
apology to the governor, adding that
he had discovered wreck and recov-
cred some fine tapestries and furni-
ture, which he thought the governor
might wish; If he would come on
board he might have his choice OF
them. The governor came on board
with two guards, who were promptly
overpowered and sent ashore. Cap
tain Smylie then put to sea with the
governor, whom he made do the cook
ing for the crew Of the whaler for
several months.
"A friend lately returned from the
Talklands tells me that several OF the
old islanders vouch for the truth OF
these stories"
Does any ons Of our readers know
anything about this restless captain.

The Human Biennial.

like to think of our human expe-
Renee as biennial rather than a
merely annual life. preparing here for
poisoning and fruit-bearing yonder.
Why not! Are joy and love exhausted
in single throw? Are not the weeds
of the roadside well assured of the re-.
turning of the sun? "Are We not much
better than they?" What If, like them,
we are forced to keep close to the
earth and seem to have no chance Of
present poisoning? Why not be ac-
cumulators, il hardly attained now?
And so argue from the growing, un-
pretentious virtues of my neighbours
character; my neighbor who, so far as
can see, never has had and never
can have chance of bloom in this
earth-year, that he, too, is biennial.
for whom chance of fruitage is surely
coming after the frosts and snow of
earth are gone.-Boston Transcript.

HAS SUFFERED
20 Long YEARS
MRS. GARRISON HAD RHEUMA-

POUNDS.

"My gain of thirty pounds in
weight during the past few. weeks
just speaks volumes for Tanlac,"
said Mrs. Catherine Clarkson, resid-
ing at .2440 College St., Kansas City,
Mr., recently. -.
"There has been such pronounced
change in my condition" she con-
tinued, "that my friends readily
notice it and speak of it. Of course,
I think my increase in weight is
wonderful, and I am proud of it, but
the benefit I appreciate most is my
relief from suffering. I have been a
victim of rheumatism for twenty
nine years, and only those afflicted
the same way know the agony suf-
fered. During damp weather and
just before a rain sharp pains shoot
all through my body, but it was in my
knees I suffered most. My right
knee, especially, has been so swollen,
stiff and painful during the past two
years that could not bend it. I had
to have steel brace made to fit this
knee so l could walk around. The
ligaments and leaders were drawn
until my knees was out of shape, and
I have cried all night long many a
night with pain. I have often thought
my rheumatism was caused by consti-
patton, as have always been troubled
more or less in this way, having to
take something constantly. I also
lost weight and my general health
became very bad, and while just
tried everything nothing gave me any
relief.
"One day I read a statement made
by lady living on Prospect Avenue,
telling how Tanlac had relieved her
of rheumatism, so / began taking the
medicine myself. | am just now on
my fifth bottle and considering the
length of time / have suffered, the
results have been remarkable. The
