tive pointed, smaller cay, the cay
known in old days as "Dead Mems
Shoes" -but since known by another
name which, for various reasons, I do
not deem it polite to divulge-near the
end of the long cay down which we
were running.
About twilight we dropped anchor
in another quiet bay, so much like that
of the night before, as all the. bays
and Gays are along that coast, that you
need to have sailed them from boy.
hood to know one from another.
The cove we were looking for,
known by the CHEEKY name of Dead
Mems Shoes, proved farther off than
We expected, SO that we didn't come
to 1t till toward the middle of the next
afternoon, an afternoon of the most
innocent gold that has ever thrown its
soft radiance over an earth inhabited
for the most part by ruffians and
scoundrels. We soon found that we
were not alone in the cave.
She's changed her paint" said Tom,
at my elbow. And, looking round,
saw that our rakish schooner. with the
black hull was now white as a dove;
and, In that soft golden water, hardly
foot and half deep, five shadowy
young sharks floated, with outstretched
fms like huge bats. Our engineer, who
was already wading fearlessly in the
water, beautifully naked, "shooed"
them of like chickens. But 1t was
soon to be evident that more danger
GUS foes waited for us on the shore.
Yet there was seemingly nothing
there but pile of sponges, and few
black men. The Susan B. had changed
her color, it was true, but she was q
well-known sponger, and noticed no
one that / recognized.
There was one foolish fellow that
reminded me of my shackly deckhand,
whom hae always thought out of his
mind, standing there on his head on
the rocks, and waving his legs to at
tract attention.
why! There's Silly Theodore"
called out the captain.
I'm going ashore" l said.
'Pm going with you too" said the
captain. 'But look after your guns.
There's going to be something doing
quiet as it looks.'
So we rowed ashore, and there was
Theodore capering in front Of pile
Of sponges, but no, other face that I
knew. But there were seven or eight
negroes whose looks I took no great
liking to.
Like some fancy sponges to send
homer" said one Of these, coming up
to me. "Cost you five times as much
In Nassau"
Certainly I'd like few sponges." I
said.
And then Theodore came up to me,
looking as though he had lost his mind
over the rather fancy silk tic hap
pened to be wearing.
"Giye me datl' he said, touching 1t,
Ike crazy man.

WORKERS LACK HOMES.

New York-That the practical sus-
pension of house building during the
war and its failure to pick up at ono
following the ending of hostilities has
been a great burden on the working
classes, is shown by a recent report Of
Secretary of Labor Wilson. From
surveys made in the important large
cities, he finds that there is nation
wide shortage of 100000 homes.
He cites the following housing short.

"Massachusetts-Fa FLYER, 1850;

$50.
New York-New York City, $4,000;

Those who had houses for rent have,
taken advantage of the shortage to
force up rents beyond what can be
permanently borne. A large part of
the working classes have crowded into
congested quarters as means of keep
ing down the rent charge.
Rent strikes have occurred In var
ious parts Of New York, and landlords
promise further rent increases in May
and October. These threats combined
with the widespread unemployment
have lent additional color to the al
ready serious situation.

Westinghouse great conspiracy to
remove all restraints, even those that
have borne lightly on our great monop-
olies, is now well under way.
Working with the special interests
are the reactionary congressman, per-
haps majority of congress, and a
number Of politicians connected with
the administration. The stage is being
set in order for abolishing the federal
trade commission and the federal tar
if commission and for stopping all
prosecutions for violation of the anti
trust laws and laws against unfair
competition. ,r D.

In place of these safeguards which
we have set up in the past and which
have proved so inadequate to the
needs, the monopolists plan commits
sion of nine, with life tenure in Office,
to dictate American business condi-
tions and development. They thus plan
not only to remove the feeble bar.
riers to open and recognized monopoly,
but commission which can prevent
the people from making changes II
the people should by chance capture
congress and even the presidency.
The life tenure for the new commits
sioners is advanced to accomplish this
purpose. The reactionaries are GER
tain of getting men of the fright"
kind appointed to such a commission
now. They are not so sure of how the
country will go two or four years from
now.
Agreements Above Laws.
While effort has been made to keep
the. whole plot secret until congress
would be ready to act, the text of the
proposed law creating the commission
Of dictators has leaked not. Section
Of this bill read as follows:
Section 4. No action or agreement
of any licensee shall be held to be in
violation of any Of the provisions of
the business laws Of the United States
when such action or agreement has
been taken or made in pursuance of
any regulation, order or direction Of
the board. After the surrender or
revocation of any license, the acts or
agreements of such licensee which
shall be taken or made thereafter
shall be subject to all the provisions
of said business law to the same ex-
tent as II no license had ever been
issued.
This means that any monopoly, such
as the packing trust, the Standard Oil.
or the steel trust, by taking out q
license with this commission will, be
able to go the limit in any direction
they wish. 1t means that this life.
tenure commission will be able to
make agreements and grant powers in
violation Of the supposed laws Of the
nation. The rules or laws which gov
ern ordinary men will not apply to the
privileged special interests.

friends. Conversation turning upon

produces a written document pur-

full pirate, made by him in 1859. It
gives two spots where two millions
and a half Of treasure were buried,
by him and his companions. The
conversation Of the three friends is

The document disappears. Saun-

The Chautauqua

No one who remembers last years
Chautauqua can fail to look forward
with pleasure to the coming week,
when Cambridge will again be visit
ed by this popular institution. So
far as can be Judged by this years
program, the coming Chautauqua
will compare more than favorably
with those of former days. The lee
lures will be of a most interesting
character, the opera is one that new
er fails to charm, the play is one of
the most charming comedies on the
American stage, and the other num-
bers are gems of their kind.
While the Chautauqua as whole
and in every detail cannot fail to
interest. two features deserve to be
especially emphasized, for they pre-
sent to our people opportunities
such as they may never have again.
We refer to the addresses by DR..
George Lawrence Parker, for some
time pastor of the American Congre-
gational Church at Petrograd, and
who has at his fingers end a vast
deal of information about Russia,
and the Russians, and D. Thomas
Curtin, the correspondent of the
London Times, whose lecture, 'Be-
hind the Scenes in Germany" should
be the most informative talk to
which a Cambridge audience has
ever listened. Mr.. Curtin is known
as the man who dragged the truth
out of Germany, and whose expose
Of what was transpiring in that coun
try was most damaging to the Ger
man interests.
