Use of Hero Names
 On Ads Is Protested

Chcago.-Protest against the use by lad" writers and sign painters of the names of great Americans in the ad- vertising of suspenders, insect powder, whistles, automobiles, pool halls, etc., was voiced Monday by the United States Daughters in convention here.
 We have Washington coffee, An drew Jackson hosiery, Molly Pitcher corsets, and short time ago murder was committed in the Lincoln Gar dens," said one of the speakers.
 "How can a foreigner become good American when his conception of our national heroes is thelr connection with some brand of whisky, or cigar cites, or pool hall, or socks, or sus- Denders?''

Giant Skipper Quells
 Hard-BOiled Mutiny

New York.-Captain John Bergsten, a two listed skipper. yesterday warped the Shipping Board steamer Eastern Ocean alongside her pier with the re- mark that he had completed one of the toughest voyages in his life.
 Contributing to the toughness was a series of fights which rose in cres- cendo to full-6edged mutiny, requir- ing assistance of United States de stroyer at Novorossisk before it could be auelled, the captain said.
 Also iotted down in the log was collision with submerged object that nearly spelled the ships doom, and 8 forced landing OF. shores of the Black sea, whence the Eastern Ocean had gone with [, 100 tons of wheat seed for Russians.
 By way of a finale, customs men found 90 bottles of rum aboard the ship They exonerated the captain after he had told his story.
 This is the story
 The Eastern Ocean put out from Philadelphia, with 8 crew recruited there This crew, the captain said, turned out to be an old.fashioned hard fsted outfit.
 Two dayt out the first fight started. Cooks and stewards staged it in a ring made by their cponies. The captain overlooked it.
 For the next three days the battle continued. It could not be overlooked. Twice the captain, a six=footer, said he had been compelled to ask assistance from steamers within hailing.
 Finally, 13 days out, Captain Berg sten beached his steamer near NoYor- rosisk; threw 1000 tons of wheat over board, and frightened the ship by load ing the rest onto smaller vessels nd had called to his aid.
 Steaming out of Novorrossisk, how ever, the real mutiny began. Then the c hief engineer, the captain said, de- manded salvage for saving the ship, and the crew backed him up.
 "My officers and myself fired re volvers over the heads of the men sev- eral times," said the captain, ''and kept them at bay. Tn the harbor was a United States destroyer and l finally asked for help.
 "They sent forty men and officers ab Oord ThaPa waa a short hut ViciOuS ght; the chief engineer was put into irons and taken ashore and the men were sent to quarters.
 .. It was then [ learned the men had brought rum. aboard. They were mem- bers of notorious Philadelphia water front gang and did nothing but fight. We went to Constantinople to load be- fore returni ng hOme."

Marie explains her apparent "dou-
BILE personality" and just why ls
a "cross-current and a contradic-
ton: she also tells her reasons
for writing the diary-later to be
a novel. The diary Is commenced
at Andersonville. Mary begins with
Nurse Sarah's account of her
(Mary's) birth, which seemingly IN
terested her father, who Is Ia
nous astronomer, less than new
star which was discovered the same
night. Her name is compromise,
her mother wanted to call her Viola
and her father insisted on Abigail
Jane. The child quickly learned
that her home was In some way
different from those of her small
friends, and was puzzled thereat
Nurse Sarah tells her of her moth
er's arrival at Andersonville as a
bride and how astonlshed they all
were at the sight of the dainty
eighteen-year-old girl whom the
sedate professor had chosen for
wife Nurse Sarah makes II plain
why the household seemed strange
one to the child and how her father
and mother drifted apart through
misunderstanding, each too proud
to in any way attempt TO smooth
over the situation. Mary tells OF
the time spent "out West where
the perfectly all right and genteel
and respectable" divorce was being
arranged for. and her mothers Ito
herr unaccountGible behavior. BY
the courts order the child is to
spend six months of the year with
her mother and six months with
her father. Boston is Mothers
home. Mary describes her life as
Marie with her mother in Boston
and about her mothers prospective
suitors. Then Mary goes TO her
other home, to visit her father. He
is the same queer stick. Mary
goes TO school. Mary refuses to
keep on at school

(cHAPTER xIx-continued.)

Plans were discussed for transfer ring the pirates from the cave to the cutter. for they were to be taken co Santa Marina to meet whatever pun ishment was thought fit for their raIh- CT indefinite ill-doing. They had not murdered us, they had robbed us Ol nothing but the provisions they hau eaten; they had, after all, as much right on the island as ourselves. let there remained their high-handed con- duct in invading our camp and treat dng us as prisoners, with the threat of darker possibilities. 1 fancy that Santa Marinan justice works malnly by rule of thumb, and that the courts do not embarrass themselves much with precedents. Only LOpe they olo not shoot the picturesque Tony against a wall"
 The power-schOOner, manned by crew from the cutter, was to be taken to Santa Marina also. SenOr Gonzales remained with us for the day as our guest. and on the next the boats from the cutter took off the pirates from the cave. We did not see them again. Through the convenient elasticity or Santa Marinan procedure, MT. Tubbs was herded along with the rest, al- though he might plausibly, if hypocrit- Ically, have pleaded that he had com piled with the will of the invaders un- der dureSs. Aunt Jane wept very much, and handed me Paeans of Pas sion with the request that she might never see 1t again.
 We parted from Senor Gonzales not without regrets. 1t was an impress slve leave-taking-ind SenOr Con- gales in his least word and gesture was impressive. Also, he managed subtly and respectfully to impart to me the knowledge that he shared Titian's tastes in the matter of hair. On his departure he made pretty lit- tie speech, full of compliments and dOral specimens, and bestowed upon me-Rs being mine by right, he earn estly prOtested-the two bags of Span Ish dOublOOns.
 "Since the above was written. Mfr. Shaw has run across Tony on the San Francis co waterfront. Tony tells him that they got off with three months Imprisonment. The American consul interested himself and the schooner was restored to her owners, who were Tony's relations and hence did not prosecute.

Health Affected by Emotions.

Any emotion that gives pleasure acts healthily on the heart and other organs, the circulation becomes more brisk, and appetite and health im- prove. Love, hope and happiness all produce these emotions and, contrary to the accepted notion, the ardent lover ought to enjoy his meals thor oughly.
 Despair, grief and fear have quite another effect. They make the action of the heart slower, and enfeeble the nervous and muscular system, often upsetting the digestion as we'll.
 Anger causes the heart to act vio- lently, working upon both physical and mental powers. The muscles for the time being are taut and tense, and the secretion of bile is increased. A reaction follows rapidly, when the muscles become f1abby and a feeling of weakness pervades the body.

be engulfed by the waters of the cove. More than this, had he not most spe- officially made over to me the Island Queen and all that 1t contained2 This was a title clear enough to satisfy the most exacting formalist. And we were not Journalists, nor inclined in any uuibbling spirit to question the de crees of Fortune. As treasure-hunt- CTS, we had been her devOtees too long.
 So after all 1t was not my scornful skepticism but the high faith of Miss Hlgglesby- Browne which was justified by the event, and the Harding-Browne expedition left the island we'll repaid for its tolls and perils. Plus the two bags of doubloons, which were added to the spells, the treasure brought us a sum so goodly that dare not name 1t, for fear of the apparitiOn of SenOr Gonzales and the Santa Marinan navy looming up to demand restitution. Like true comrades, we divided share and share alike, and be sure that no one grudged Cookie the percentage which each was taxed for his benefit.
 Ano now I come to the purpose of this story-for though well concealed it has had one from the beginning. It is to let Helen, whoever and wherever she may be, if still of this world, know of the fate of Peter, and to tell her that when she asks for them she is to have my most cherished relics of the island, Peters journal and the silver shoe-buckle which he found in the sand of the treasure-cave and was taking home to her.
 Only, she must let me keep Crusoe, please.

SAINT OF EIGHTH CENTURY
To swithin, Bishop of Winchester, Is Traced Tradition Concerning
 Forty Days Rain.

St. Swithin or Swithun was bishop of Winchester from S52 to 862. Ac- cording to the Eleventh century Life" attributed to Gotzlin, he was tu- tor to Egbert's son, Ethelwulf, under whom he was made bishop. He was a devoted builder of churches, and a man of unusual piety and humility. He also built the bridge at the east side of Winchester. He died in 662 and was buried in the churchyard of Win chester, having asked, says William Malmsbury, to be laid where "passers- by might tread on his grave, and where the rain from the caves might fall on It." It was fabled that he performed many miraculous cures after his death, and, although never regularly canOnized, he was translated with great ceremony on July 15, 971, and received his title of saint on his transition, when his remains were de- posted in the cathedral. It Is said, though unfortunately not by contempo- rary chronicIers, that this translation was delayed in consequence of violent rains. Hence, the still current belief that if 1t rains on July 15, St. Swith- in's day, 1t will continue to rain for 40 days.

Mind onee Privately owned.

Uncle Sam didn't always have a monopoly on coinage and printing bills, nor did he have any particular laws governing his money. Then one dag three men opened a mint of their own in Denver, and out or this mint grew the United States mint in Den- yer; a law forbidding private coinage was enacted, a law fOrbidding imitat- ing a United States coin or bill and various and sundry other laws that Uncle Sam now has thrown around his money and its production.
 This private Denver mint, too, Is responsible for the thousand or more men drawing good salaries to see that these various laws are Obeyed, and courts and lawyers for many years past have worked and arc working because of this mint.

CHAPTER xxx.
The Bishops Chest.

We waited nine days for the coming of the Rufus Smith. During that time an episode occurred as a result of which I sat one morning by myself on the rocks beside the sloop, on which such ardent hopes had been centered, only like the derelict itself to be wrecked at last. It was a lonely spot and I wanted to be alone. I felt abused, and sad, and sore. realized that was destined to do nothing but harm in the world, and to hurt people I was fond of, and be misunderstood by everyone, and to live On-f 1 wasn't lucky enough to meet with premature and sudden end-into sour, lonely, grabbed old age, when l would wish to goodness had married anybody, and might even finish by ap- plying to a Matrimonial Agency.

 Still I did not look up.
 Nobody seemed to want me-" l re- marked sulkily, after a pause. He made no reply, but seated himself up on the rocks. For a little there was silence.
 "7irginia," he said abruptly, 'Pm thinking you have hurt the lad"
 "Oh," I burst out, ''that is all you think of-the lad, the lad How about me2 Don't you suppose 1t hurt me- too2"

In the soreness of my heart began to weep.
 'There, lassie, there, don't cryl" he said gently. "The boy didn't speak of it, of course. But knew how 1t must be. It has hit him hard, I am afraid"
 q suppose" I wept, ''you would have had me marry him whether l wanted to or not, just to keep from hurting bim?"
 sNo," he answered quickly. q did not say that-I did not say that l would have had you marry him. No, lass, I did not say that"
 "Then why are you scolding me?" I asked in a chOked whisper.
 "Scolding you2 1 was not. It was only that-that I love the lad-and 1 wish you both so we'll thought per haps there was some mistake, and-lt would not matter about me, if l could see you both happy"
 "There fs a mistake" said clearly. ''It is a great mistake, Dugald Shaw, that you should come to me and court me-fOr some one else"
 There was silence for a while, the kind of silence when you hear your heartbeats.
 When he spoke his voice was un- steady.
 "But the boy has everything to offer you-hls ancient name, his splendid unstained youth, a heart that Is all loyalty. He is strong and brave and beautiful Virginia, why couldn't you love him1"
 'T could not love him." replied, very low, because my love was not mine any more to give. It belongs to some one else. Is his name an cientl 1 don't know. It is his, and he ennobles it. Cuthbert has youth but youth Is only promise. In the man love find fulf1llment. And he is loyal and brave and hOnest-1 am afraid he isn't beautiful, but l love him the better for his scars-
 After that I sat quite still, and knew 1t depended on the next halt minute whether went all the days Oi my life crowned and glorious with happiness, or buried my shame and heartbreak under the waters of the cove.
 And then Dugald Shaw took me ir | his arms.
 By and by he said huskily:

 At this I raised my head from itS nestling-place and laughed.
