PRETTY LEGEND OF SILKW0RM
Fathers Treachercus Act Believed by Chinese to Have Brought Bless
 ing to the Earth.

The head of the silkworm Is strik- tngfy like that of a horse. There is legend supposed to account for it.
 In the olden days, when gods lived among the people, there was a man whose prosperity had been changed to poverty by the ravages of a dread ful war. He possessed but one treas ure, handsome horse which had been brave and loyal throughout all trials. In his time of distress the spirited horse offered himself for the work of common pack horse, and one day, when he came to a halt, weary from unaccustomed labor, the man urged him forward
 'Walk, my good friend" he said l; "wfen better days come I will reward your faithfulness. My beautiful daugh- ter shall be your bride"
 The horse sprang forward with joy, and from that time was more faithful than ever, and the mans fortune grew better day by day.
 The daughter was very lovely, and one day the governor saw her and asked her in marriage. When the father proudly consented, he was so indignantly upbraided by the horse for his forgotten promise that the man, in rage, killed the horse and hung the hide with the head attached on the garden wall. The maiden saw 1t and the sad eyes touched her heart with pity, but the father laughed and ex- claimed:
 'I promise again. Win and takeT"
 No sooner had the words left the mans lips than a fierce typhoon came whirling through the air and caught up the horses hide into its darkness. The thunder god rolled and crashed his whirling drums, the wind god loosened his hold on the great bag of winds, and all the world was filled with roar and tumult and terror. The father called and called for his daugh- ter, but the beautiful maiden was gone.
 AS the typhoOn whirled away, one dark cloud drifted back from its inky trail and fell to the ground, not a cloud, but the horses hide, and twisted closely in Its folds was the maiden, calm and beautiful, but dead.
 Then the father knew 1t was a god he had wronged, and, deeply sorrow full, buried the two together with hon. ors.
 The next morning the sunshine glis- tened softly on the grave. The dewy grass was covered over with a cloud like silken web, and within the fi1my meshes sat numberless fairy spinners with long, twisted bodies and gentle, swaying horselike heads.
 So came the blessing Of the silk worm to the world. - Indianapolis News.

Bank Keeps Gold Under Water.

No other bank in the world Is pro- tected as the Bank of England, writes William s. Walsh, who collects odd bits of information. This unique pro lection Is due to an artesian we'll in the bank. This well supplies the bank with its water independently of the rest of the city; 1t is 400 feet deep and supplies 1000 cubic feet of water an hour.
 The bullion department, which holds the ingots of precious metal, Is nightly submerged in several feet of water by the action of special machinery. Any one attempting to rob the bank, then, must be an expert swimmer and diver. In the morning the water is pumped away and the ingots are readily ac- cessible again.
 However, the water still protects the other departments of the bank. Its supply is almost unlimited, the bank knows, and its protection Is practi- cally absolute when 1t is used. The bank has very delicate machinery ar ranged so that even the lifting of one coin from a pile will release a catch which in turn releases a supply of water.

"Roxn Behind the Voice.

A business man who was in a great hurry called up an establishment that had failed to deliver goods as ordered. A tiny boyish voice was heard at the other end of the line: What Is 1t that you wish?"
 MT. Jones, boy, and hurry"
 "All right" and the receiver was hung up. In a few minutes 1t was taken down and the small voice re- piled:
 MT. Jones is not in. Gan help your"
 "See here, boy" snapped the man who was in a hurry. "I want to talk with some one who can do business. When I need the office boy I will call for him. The way for you to get along Is to let the other things alone and attend to your own duties"
 "That's what I am trying to do," meekIy said the small voice. II am the president of the company."-Phil- adelphia Ledger

A good friend stands by you when in need. Canaan people tell how Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the fest. I. E. Curtis of R. F. D. Canaan endorsed Doan's four years ago and again confirms the story. Could you ask for more convincing testimony?

KIDD NOT PIRATE
And His Treasure a Fable, Says
 ArChivist.
Massachusetts Authority Asserts That Lord BeIlomont Was Arch Scoun-
 dreI-High-PIaced Adventures.

Song and story are wrong. Captain Kidd was not a pirate and his fabled treasure does not exist. Privateers- man he was, but of good repute. His hanging as a pirate and murderer on execution dock at London in 1701 was to satisfy the political exigencies of the time.
 These are the findings of John H. Edmonds, state archivist for Massa chusetts, as announced in a lecture at the old South Meeting house. Archivist EdmOnds was discussing 'Lord Bellomont and the pirates" Bellomont, he said, was appointed governor of New England In 1895 with a special mission to suppress piracy.
 Before leaving England" MT. Ed monds contended. "he agreed with Capt. William Kidd, privateersman of good repute from New York, to proceed against pirates in a ship called the Adventure, galley, on a mo- capture-nO-pay' basis. The adventurers included Captain Kidd, Robert Liv- ingstOn, Lord Chancellor SOmers, the earl of Oxford, first lord of the ad- miralty; the earl of Romney, and the duke of Shrewsbury, secretaries of state; Bellomont and the straw men, to whom the kings grant of treasure was later made, did not contribute a cent.
 "On September 6, 1896, with a crazy vessel and a crazier crew, Captain Kidd proceeded on his mis- sion," the archivist said. "He picked up several pirates, including ga Moorish ship of POO tons and a Ben gal merchantmen of 500 tons, both having French passes and being law full prizes"
 He came to New York and then to Boston through the trickery of Bello- mont, who promised him safe con- duct With the remnant of his crew he was arrested. sent to England, tried for murder and piracy, convicted and hung on Execution dock Friday, May g, 17O1, to satisfy the political ex- agencies of the times.
 "It was either Lord BellOmont, the lord chancellor, the first lord of the admiralty, the secretaries of state or Captain Kidd, and under this circum- stance he had no chance. Collision and perjury are plainly evident in his trial; the French passes which would have cleared him of the piracy charge, though produced in parliament. were suppressed in the Admiralty court. The least said about BellOmont's ac- tion in the matter the better. He fooled Kidd, he fooled his council and the worst of 1t is, he allowed 1t in his letters to the lords of trade.
 "The Captain Kidd of today Is e composite pirate made up of all who frequented our shores from 1887 to 1887. Propaganda of the worst kind blackened the reputation of a man of whom a recognized French author ity says: It may be we'll doubted whether any man in equally trying circumstances has ever been truer to his trust
 "And yet the great American public persists in calling Captain Kidd pirate and in searching for his treas ure, which does not exist"

Game of Chess Is Old.

The game of chess seems to have been known In Hindoostan by the name of Cheturanga. It was changed by the Persians into Chetrang, put the Arabs, who took possession of that country, had neither the Initial nor the final letters of that word In their alphabet. Consequently they altered the name to Shetranj. Though at one time the Chinese claimed to have played chess in 174 B. O., the Hindus played 1t long before that time.

 Then mother interrupted her. Closer investigation disclosed the fact that the wagon was gospel wagon. But" mother wisely shook her head, "it might have been a gossip wagon from the way Nellie says they crowded around it."
