fighting all the time, only then Spain
was q lot stronger than England, and
used to beat her nearly all the time.
That is, she did until Drake popped
up. Course you all know about
Drake. who IL the English fellow who
started England towards being the
greatest power on the sea, and who
licked the Spanish Armada
But the rest of 1t, at least, never

Drake first got started. war WASH

got q lot of English seamen to take
their boats and go out and hunt up
Spanish boats and rob 'ern. OF course,
that was really against the law, but
nobody cared about that.
The Pirates Keep on
well, this kept up for . long time,
and finally there was real peace De-
tween England and Spain. but 1t seems
that the EngliRhmen had got In the
habit of robbing the SpaniardA and
they couldn't seem to break away
from the oil habits.
And then about that time there
was a lot of fuss about religions in
Europe, and 1t got to be fashionable
for people of different scots to so out
and rob the others on the high seas.
So that brought the old custom OF
pIrating back into fashion.
But after a while the religious
wars burnt out, and even then the
pirates kept pirating. but II got 90

There is such 4 thing as being so
good loser that you like to lose. And
there are no competitions run off in
this world which you can afford to
enter merely for the pleasure of
letting some other man win.
You are perfectly justified in feel
ing bad when you have lost. You are
justified in taking yourself into a
corner for a lecture on the folly of
losing. The continual loser will in the
end have to part with his self-respect
and his courage, and become a mere
cumberer of the earth.
Try to win as hard as you can. If
you lose next time make up your
mind that you will win the next. De-
termine that you will win oftener than
you lose and that you will win as
nearly 100 per cent as possible.
Then when you do lose, you can
bear 1t with a better grace, for you
will know that such thing is not
going to happen very frequently.

ARE YOU WORTHY?

A COMMON and frequent complaint
a nowadays among self-esteemed
young men and women is that they
are not making satisfactory progress.
With more or less petulapce they
declare that their incomes are not
sufficient to keep them in the style
In which they want to live.
Instead of being compelled to de-
pend on popular shops for their
clothes, they yearn to be in position
to patronize high-priced tailors and
dressmakers, and thus in their false
estimation keep step with the rich
by making repeated shows Of fine
feathers.
The plebian atmosphere in which
these hapless mortals are surrounded
Is most displeasing.
Any real effort to improve their
mental qualifications is apart from
the question, and contrary to their
inmost wishes.
Though apostles of laxity, devotees
Of empty pleasures and devout dis
ciples at the shrine of prodigality,
these disgruntled young men and
women openly blame the world for
their imagined plight, often condemn
ing their employers for holding them
down, when as matter of fact their
employers have nothing whatever to
do with it.
The man or woman who is really
DESTROYS of rising to the surface
where he or she can swim with head
above water must pull hard, con-
tinuous stroke, quite regardless Of
what others are doing.
It is the only way to keep at the
top and keep moving ahead.
Drifting is perlous to everybody
who INDUCES in it, certain in the end
to lead to disaster by wrecking the
fondest hopes and highest aspirations.
In spite of our Wanted pride of
progress drifting is becoming ma
tiOnal habit, particularly among the
puny-minded who bend their knee to
the god of gold rather than to the
god Of wisdom.

DOES SALT MAKE US
THIRSTY

A NYONE who has suffered from
"A nose-bleed or who has tasted
human blood knows that it contains
considerable proportion of salt
approximately the same amount as
is present in sea water. This is only
natural, because salt il one of the
essentials of the body and Is carried
through it by means Of the veins ard
arteries which feed the different parts
of this intricate mechanism.
When an unusual amount of salt
is taken into the stomach, 1t reacts
in two ways. In the first place, the
blood, being already supplied with all
the salt that it cares to handle, de-
clines to take on any more and the
saline solution remains in the stomach
-"uncalled for" as 1t were. Then,
too, salt rapidly absorbs water and
its presence in the stomach causes that
organ to send out a hurry call for
some means of flushing out the excess
which cannot be utilized by the body.
The sensation of being thirsty" is,
therefore, merely the manifestation
that the stomach needs something with
which to dilute the unusual amount
Of salt-just as when we feel thirsty
from other causes 1t is sign that the
body needs some kind Of liquid to
assist 1t In it's usual functions.

SAFE PLACE FOR VALUABLES
Harassed Citizens of American Cities
Should Welcome Idea That Comes
From 5uenos Aires.

In these days Of lawlessness, when
the honest citizen cannot take a walk
around the block with any certainty
that he will not be held up by u
bandit, the novel idea Of Antonio Mon
AGO, citizen of Buenos Aires, ought
to be Of value.
He suggests suspenders with peck
cts attached to them-two pockets,
that is to say, each of them being
fastened with a buckle to the loop of
the 'gallus" at the front. The lower
end of each pocket has two button
holes, which button onto the ordinary
buttons of the waistband Of the trous-
ers, thus making the pocket fatty Sc.
cure against the body of the wearer.
To prevent escape Of it's contents, each
pocket is provided with a buttoned
lap.
Few bandits would think of looking
for loot beneath a mans waistcoat,
and so the suspender pocket should
afford excellent hiding places for
Against pickpockets they

BE A COCO LOSER

TT WE all liked to lose, this would
4 be a shiftless and an ambitionless
life.
It is natural to want to win in any
competition, business or athletic.
ANY self-respecting man would like
to feel that he can outstrip the other
fellow in any race he enters.
He feels chagrined when he loses.
But If he amounts to anything he does
not show it.
To whine, to lose your temper, to
invent excuses, to show jealousy If
you lose, is poor craftsmanship and
poor judgment.
You may feel badly because you
have lost, and you ought to, but re-
member that you, and no one else, are
responsible For If the competition
was one in which you had no chance
of winning you shouldn't have entered
1t. If you did have a chance, 1t was
your fault that you did not improve
1t.
Be a good loser, therefore, and gen.
erous to your opponent. But don't lose
too often.
Don't be SO little concerned about
losing that you never try to win.
Don't feel that 1t makes no differ
