Original Buccaneers.
~RoLD BUccANEKR" m.

"ROLD BUCCANEEEe" means pirate" to us,
but, like many an honest farmer who
turned fiiibuster, this word once had vstk
peaceful meaning. which It lost entirely after
it turned bandit. -
The word comes from 'boucan," an Intiian
name given to q hut In which the flesh of
cattle killed in hunting was cured or smoked.
The word first appeared on the Island of His
PAMELA. known now as San Domingo and HAITI,
in the West Indies. About 1880 a party Of
French colonists settled there and found hunt
ing the most profitable way Of making living.
They ranged all over the island hunting In
companies Of 10 or u with dogs They vsere
peaceful. Woodworking people. though very
rough looking and rude in their manners and
way Of living.
The Spaniards, who controlled the islan@.
did not like these hunters. They hunted soueA
times themselves, but they did It more for
sport. hunting on horseback with long spears,
attacking the cattle much as the modern bull
fighters Of Spain do. Before long great
deal of bitterness grew up between the hunters
and the Spaniards. There came to be constant
warfare between the bands Of the hunters and
Of the rulers Of the island
Finally the Spaniards decided to get rid 81
the buccaneers. They issued an order calling
for the killing Of all wild cattle. especially near
the coast, hoping to starve out the hunters by
this slaughter of their means of living. They
succeeded. but 1t was boomerang for the
Spaniards. .,.,.
Driven from their woods, the angry hunEaw1
turned from land 70 Sea. calling themselves
soldiers Of fortune" They organized and took
refuge on the neighboring Island Of Tort1ga:
later 20 become the famous pirate island. The
Spaniards made attacks on them which the
buccaneers withstood Then the hunters be-
came more bold and began making attacks
themselves, not only on land, but on incoming
Spanish boats. And that was how the bucc&=
neers. as we know the word came to be. -

Banking Facts For
Boys and Girls.
By John Y. Beatty
Editor The Bankers MmtEiy'

"There are still other services whic., large eitv
banks perform for banks in smaller towns" con-
tinued Mr.. Sears. Harold, who had been learn
ing a, great deal about banking, and the con-
nection Of one bank with another, listened
closely 1T is not necessary to explain all of
these to you because they do not have so much
to do with customers Of the local bank. but
they are of benefit to the bank itself. For
example some city banks supply their cor
respondent banks Il the smaller towns with
advertisements to IL run in the local papers
Others supply the local banks with bonds that
they may sell or that they may buy for their
own investment. Then, too, when our local
bank wishes to borrow some money, it can
borrow from its correspondent bank in the city.
There ere times, you know, when there is
a greater need for money here in our town than
usual. and the local bank has no more to lend.
so 1t borrows what 1t needs from a CITY bank
and relends it to its customers.
There Is one more thing that want to call
your attention to. That is when our bank
sends check to New York, It is about four
days before it can get credit for that money
and can make use Of 1t. For that reason. it
cannot lend that money for those four days
and does not receive any interest ON It, When
you realize that q bank may have several
thousand dollars or. In case Of the larger city
banks, two or three million dollars on the way
between one city and another you can realize
that not all Of the money that Is on deposit
with banks can be loaned by the bank"

Circus Performers Courage.

Being a circus clown isn't funny 1t
seems. There are times when a clown falls
or gets struck when If seems to the audience
that it's all part Of his stunt-and it isn't.
But it's clowns business to get the laughs

But clowns don't take the risks the other
performers do" he said modestly. II re-

with his breath coming in agOniAed gasps and
his teeth biting into his raw, swollen lips, he
battled his way toward the window.
1t seemed hours before he reached it, but
finally his hands were on the sill, and with q
last desperate shove he raised the window. The
cool night air flooded in, reviving him for q
moment. and he managed to pull Jacks head
and shoulders up to the opening. Then lean

In the street below an excited crowd was

open window, and the white face of q boy

he saw Jacks body lifted and carried down the
ladder
Harrison's ears were deaf to the cheers that
on the broad, rubber coated back Of one Of the
fremen- Ten minutes later he recovered con-
seriousness, to find that he was lying on q couch
in strange room, in nearby house to which
they had taken him. Somebody was bathing
his smarting face with soothing cloth Every
muscle In his body seemed to ache and every
breath that he took panied his chest
He raised his head, glanced at the anxious
faces clustered about him. and found his voice.
where's Jack?" he asked anxiOusly.
Right over there, Harrison" replied the
voice Of Prof. Marks, with a note In It that
thrilled the boy. "Your brother is all right.
He's got a twisted leg and a bad bump on the
head, but he'll be all right in no time, thanks
to you"
With an effort Harrison sat up and looked
toward the figure stretched on q davenport
across the room. At that moment Jack looked
over at him and grinned wryly. Harrison got
to his feet and crossed the room. .' ."s
Feel all right, Jack?" he asked anxiously
Sure" said Jack. "How are you?"
CAN right" said Harrison, "only ache Gosh
you were heavyI"
Harrison's brain was still bit cloudy, and
he couldn't understand why Jack suddenly
seemed TO choke, and then turned his face to
the wall. Then the younger boy felt his
brothers hand come out and clasp his own with
an iron grip.
He looked around wondering, and now he
saw that the people In the room were regarding
him with something like awe In their faces.
Prof. Marks stepped forward and placed an
arm around his shoulders

than save your brothers life tonight. Your

Somehow Harrison got Ibis hands under
Jacks shoulders and started to drag him the
few feet toward the door. But the older boys
body was dead weight and Harrison, choked
and weakened by the smoke, could hardly
bulge him. Eob6tng desperately, he put every
ounce Of his fading strength into the effort.
Only few feet more, and they would be
through the raging flames to safety.
And then, with Q crash and a shower Of
sparks, the framework that had. been erected
to hold the curtain on the stage gave way and
fen outward. A bit Of burning wood struck
HaErisOns neck and he jerked his head around,
70 utter . gasp Of despair. He saw that the
falling wood had completely blocked the mar
row door 10 the han.
There was only one chance now-to reach
the door In the rear and try TO get down that
demolished stairway. That meant dragging
the burden Of his brother the fun length Of
the room. with q horrible feeling that he
could never make It, he took another grip on
Jacks shoulders and started the painful
journey.
It seemed to him now that ne would lose
consciousness ut any moment Close to the
floor, however, the smoke was not quite so
thick, and doggedly he made his way, inch by
inch, back through the room, dragging Jacks
inert body after him. But his strength was
not equal to the demands upon it, and half
way back he faltered. gave last desperate tug,
and toppled over beside his brother.
For second he lay there, dimly conscious
that now all was lost. And then there came
pounding ct his brain a sound from outside; q
sound that had often before stirred his senses
TO excitement 1t was the wall Of the siren Of
q fire engine!
The fremen were hereI II ne could get Jack
to window. perhaps they could be rescued that
way. The windows along the side Of the hall
were closer than the rear door, and If he once
made them, he would at least be able to
breathe again.
The flames had now spread so that the
whole inside Of the room was ablaze, with
tongues Of fire licking UP the walls and run
ming along the beams of the ceiling. From
some unknown reservoir Of strength, Harrison
found the power to drag himself to his knees
and clutch his brothers arms again Slowly,

CHARGES AGAINST j. r. JOHN
SON DISMISSED

Dismissal of 5 felony charges
against j. +. Johnson, local au.
tomobile dealer, was asked this
morning by County Attorney E
r. Thurman, and so ordered by
Justice Charles e. Hardy. says
Mondays Herald. Lack of evi
dence was given as the reason
for the action.
Three of the felony charges
involved alleged obtaining of
money under false pretenses by
claiming payment of customs
duties to the Mexican govern.
ment when the duties had not
been paid. They were filed by
Carlos NJ. Romero. Ricardo Bar
nett and Manuel PARA.
In statement following the
dismissal of the charges. County
Attorney Thurman said he had
been informed that the customs
duties had been paid subsequent
to the fling of the charges.
Two other felony charges filed
by Jack Anderson, State officer,
alleged false swearing to an ap
plication for certificate of title to
an automobile. also we're dis
missed. Thurman said dismissal
of these two charges was made
necessary because of new law
which recently went into effect
which makes the charges mis-
.demeanor.
Dismissal of the five charges
clears the books of oil charges
against the automobile dealer.
