Poverty and Education
Poverty is a great bar to education
but would not be if both the child
and the parent were alive to the real
value of an education If education
cannot be acquired in one way it can
in another The trouble is that the
judgment of the child is too immature
to prove a safe guide and the parent
leaves everything to the child

HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctors Talk en Food
There are no fairer set of men on
earth than the doctors and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and man
ly confession of the fact
A case in point is that of an emi
nent practitioner one of the good
old school who lives in Texas His
plain unvarnished tale needs no
dressing up
I had always had an intense preju
dice which I can now see was un
warrantable and unreasonable against
all muchly advertised foods Hence
I never read a line of the many ads
of Grape Nuts nor tested the food till
last winter
While in Corpus Christi for my
health and visiting my youngest son
who has four of the ruddiest health
iest little boys I ever saw I ate my
first dish of Grape Nuts food for
supper with my little grand
sons I became exceedingly fond
of it and have eaten a pack
age of It every week since and find it
a delicious refreshing and strengthen
ing food leaving no ill effects whatever
causing no eructations with which I
was formerly much troubled no
sense of fullness nausea nor distress
of stomach in any way
There Is no other food that agrees
with me so well or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does I am stronger and more active
since I began the use of Grape Nuts
than I have been for 10 years and am
no longer troubled with nausea and
indigestion Name given by Postum

CHAPTER XXVll Continued J glancing at the clock on the mantel
He had missed the picture from its I oiposite him it is late and I must
place over his hearth at Barataria
but knowing there were others like it
he had no thought that he was looking
upon what had been his own
Presently with a sign indicating re
lief Jackson handed the last paper
to Claiborne and leaning forward
with his elbows upon the arms of his
chair said his voice showing more of
contempt than anger Most edifying
assortment of reading to be sure
Capt Lafitte Are these all these
four papers two of them addressed to
you Capt Percys instructions to his
subordinates and the proclamation
to the people of this state
These are all general and they
contain all the information within my
power to give you now Lafitte re
plied
Claiborne began to refold the pa
pers while the general turned to La
fitte
It is a fine offer you have received
all you can possibly desire
I wish will take nothing that
England can ever have to offer me
Lafitte added with sudden fierceness
I hate the nation and its ways
Nothing could induce me to accept
now or ever any terms from the Eng
lish
The first unguarded evidence of any
thing like cordial liking now manifest
ed itself in Jacksons face Yet there
was nothing of this in his voice as he
said May I ask then Capt Lafitte
if possibly some motive of personal re
venge brought you here to night with
a renewal of your offer
Lafittes face flushed through its
swartness then it paled and grew
stern
I understood that you needed sol
diers most of all artillerymen that
you also needed arms cannon and
muskets I came to offer all I have
left of men and resources for your
use and that of Louisiana I ask no
pay for myself only for my men if
return to headquarters I shall look
for you to report to mo at nine in the
morning to talk over matters in de
tail T must know precisely as to the
amount of assistance I am to count
upon from you and there are other
things about which I wish to consult
you I understand that no man is so
familiar as yourself with the country
to the south and southwest of here
Is this true
Yes general as I think I may say
without egotism
So I supposed and I shall have
seme questions to ask of you in re
gard to it My knowledge of the coun
try is not entirely complete and I
w ish to obtain all possible information
respecting the roads and waterways
I shall be happy to serve you sir
to the best of my ability and I thank
j ou gentlemen both of you for the
favor you have shown me
The sudden huskiness of Lafittes
firm voice was the only indication of
his pent up feelings as he added To
night Gen Jackson I thank you in
words but I hope to soon manifest
my gratitude in a more substantial
form one that shall cauase you no
regret for the justice you have shown
to Jean Lafitte of Barataria
He left them his departure being
as rapid and quiet as had been his ap
pearance and Jackson turning to
Claiborne said with a smile of grim
satisfaction I believe that Ave can
save New Orleans and if we do by
the Eternal a good share of the cred
it will belong to the men whom I
called pirates and robbers and ap
proved of your hanging
CHAPTER XXVIII
The December sunshine lying about
La tfete des Eaux gave a warmth and
brightness thai would have made the
season of the year scarcely to be real
ized by one born to New Englands
ice and snow and the cold breeze
Bli lib
Extended both hands which Lafitte grasped cordially
you will if not then I will try to take
care of that and they are yours with
out pay The one thing I demand is
what I have stated already a full par
don for my men and myself a pardon
tor all offenses or alleged offenses
against the laws of this state or of the
United States
Assuming said Claiborne that
everything is as you say and that
your proposition is accepted what se
curity have I as governor of this
state and responsible not only to its
people but to the President that you
will fulfil your agreement
Jackson with an impatient glance at
Claiborne started to speak but he
checked himself as Lafitte answered
coldly My personal manhood and
honor Ask any merchant of New
Orleans with whom I have had deal
ings if ever I failed to fulfil my con
tracts Ask any bank in New Orleans
if my paper has ever been dishonored
No man woman or child white or
Mack who knows my name but will
tell you that I always keep my prom
ises
Well answered And Jackson
every vestige of reserve now swept
away arose from his chair and com
ing around the table extended both
hands which Lafitte grasped cordially
Claibornes manner underwent a
marked change although it was still
somewhat formal as he said Capt
Lafitte I cannot do otherwise than be
lieve you to be sincere and to admire
the motives which have led you to
take this most honorable course I
em pleased to be able to recognize in
jxdu a good and loyal citizen and my
proclamation against you will be re
voked in the morning Meanwhile In
token of amity between us here is my
hand sir
Lafitte after a moments hesitation
took the extended hand and bent his
head with a courtesy cold as that
v hich had marked Claibornes former
manner
Jackson evidently determined not to
accept the governors attitude as a
criterion for his own said with in
creased friendliness Capt Lafitte I
shall commend you to the President
by the next post and furnish him with
a full statement of this matter But
stirring among the trees would have
been but the frosty breath of early
fall turned by the sunrise to dews
that drenched the grass and few
fallen leaves
Gen La Roche was hurrying
through breakfast while his saddled
horse in charge of a mounted negro
pawed impatiently as he stood wait
ing for his master
La Roche had returned home only
the day before for a brief visit and to
assure himself that all was well with
his household consisting now of his
sister Lazalie and Rose de Cazeneau
Even at this the last hour of his
stay some of the items of news he
had brought from the city were being
discussed and enlarged upon
A curious change of affairs re
marked Madame Riefet that Gen
Jackson should now be trusting so
much to the Baratarians who only
last September were denounced by
him as well as by every one else
The general laughed
Well yes In September they were
pirates and hellish banditti but in
Eecember they are privateers and
their leaders are gentlemen Yet I
can assure you that they are brave
fellows and tremendous fighters and
just the men needed now to help save
New Orleans
Then while folding his nakpin the
general said animatedly How could
I have forgotten to tell you a most
surprising piece of news about Capt
Jean That young man is a puzzle to
me
What now asked Lazalie with
marked interest as La Roche pushed
tack his chair and looked at his
watch
Just this answered La Roche
smiling at her and then glancing at
the others in a way to show that he
was about to startle them It appears
that Capt Jean has the honor of a per
sonal acquaintance with Napoleon
What chorused the thee amazed
hearers and Madame Riefet murmur
ed in an awe stricken tone Capt
Jean knows the French emperor
La Roche nodded
But he is emperor no longer my
dear nor was hs such when Lafitte
knew him
But how can such a thing be possi
ble Lazalie began when Madamo
Reifet having recovered herself in
terrupted with Tell us all about it
Philip I low could ho know Napoleon
and where did you hear such an im
probable story
From himself was the laconic re
ply accompanied by a look of great
satisfaction
The general was filled with exulta
tion at his ability to give his sister
who had frequently expressed her dis
like of his intimacy with Lafitte a
piece of information which he was
quite aware would with her a wor
shiper of the illustrious Corsican
place the Baratarian leader in a po
sition second only to him whose ac
quaintance he could claim
I cannot credit such a thing she
declared
You could and you would had you
been where I was to hear what he
said to Gen Jackson It came about
in this way A week or ten days ago
Lafitte rendered an important service
of a private nature to Claiborne and
the governor urged him to name some
thing as a reward for his services
What Lafitte asked was a picture of
Napoleon which it seems was his own
property although he was not aware
ot it at the time It had been looted
by one of our men during that Sep
tember attack on Barataria and Clai
borne had rescued it being about as
mad over Napoleon as you yourself
sister mine and Lafitte had seen it
hanging on the wall of the governors
study
The other day at headquarters I
was present when Jackson and Lafitte
were having a conference during
which the general spoke of the mat
ter and rallied Lafitte upon the senti
rrental price he had named for so val
uable a service he added that prob
ably like all Frenchmen he made a
sort of male Madonna out of Na
poleon
I wish you could have seen Lafittes
free when he answered T revere him
ai the man I have known and loved
ince I was a young boy and who has
been as truly my guardian angel as
ever a good Catholic could pray the
Holy Mother to be And I wish you
could have seen Jacksons face as he
heard it
Madame Reifet gasped and the two
girls exclaimed in amazement
It was in France then that Capt
Jean knew him Madame said won
ceringly
Naturally Louise as Napoleon has
never been in this country The gen
eral now consulted his watch and
added I must be off and by the
way let none of you mention the sur
prising fact that I have just related
as it might not be pleasing to Capt
Jean He said no more than I have re
peated and was unmistakably averse
to enlarging upon the subject
He always seems averse to talking
of himself or of his past life Lazalie
said as if thinking aloud while they
rose from the table and Madame
Riefet remarked rather severely that
it was perhaps because there was
some disgrace connected with his past
and that this it might be which had
made him leave France
The look of resentful indignation
vhich this uncharitable comment
brought to Mademoiselle de Caze
reaus face was softened somewhat
when the general laying- a handr on
etber of his sisters plump shoul
crs said as he kissed her cheek
For one so naturally kind of heart as
ou are Louise it is cuxioas what
wrongful things you occasionally think
in regard to other people
After he was In the saddle and the
ladies were standing on the veranda
xo see him depart he warned Lazalie
that for the present at least she
srould confine her aquatic excursions
to the immediate vicinity of the plan
tation Then observing the perturbed
expression his words had hrought to
Madame Riefets face he added that
they were not to worry about the Eng
lish as the latter were not at all likely
to appear in the neighborhood of Lake
Eorgne
To be continued
Conductor Has Reward Coming
The combination of strike rain and
crowded surface cars has been hard
on women and children who must
travel up and down town A mite of
a girl stood in the rain at Thirty third
street and Broadway for more than an
hour on Wednesday night trying to
get a car up town Finally a blockade
caused a car to stop near her The
conductor was on the rear platform
so hemmed in that he had not collect
ed a fare for twenty minutes
Mister Conductor said the child
crying Ill give you a dollar if youll
let me on
The conductor grasped the roof of
the car pulled himself up and stand
ing on the dashboard lifted the weep
ing little one into the place he had
made vacant Then he transferred a
nickel from his trousers pocket to the
coat pocket where he kept the com
panys money
I want your number said the girl
I wont ever forget you and Ill em
broider you something nice New

treatment but tho rheumatism woaldut
budge When regular doctors failed
and ono remedy after another proved
useless many said I should think ho
would give it up and savo his mouey
Of his condition at this time Mr
Jones says My rheumatism started
in my right thigh but iu time it ap
peared in every musclo of my body I
lost the uso of my left arm en
tirely and nonrly lost tho uso of my
right ono My feot wero badly affected
especially tho bottoms of tho heels
When my right side was affected there
was swelling but tho left sido didnt
swell when tho disease settled there
Tho internal organs didnt seem to bo
involved at all The troublo was nlfiu
the muscles and tho nerves
Among tho few who still encouraged
Mr Jones to think that a enro might
yet be found was a friend who had rea

advice ho bought a box of them in Sep

always been considered incurable but
evidently from the story told by Mr
Gray there is a remedy which will
cure it even in the most advanced
stages This is what he says
I was helpless as a little babe My
wife and I searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Brights Disease hoping that I would
be able to find a remedy After many
failures my wife insisted that I should
try Dodds Kidney Pills I praise God
for the day when I decided to do so
for this remedy met every phase of
my case and in a short time I was
able to get out of bed and after a few
weeks treatment I was a strong well
man Dodds Kidney Pills saved my
life
A remedy that will cure Brights
Disease will cure any lesser Kidney
Disease Dodds Kidney Pills are cer
tainly the most wonderful discovery
which modern medical research has
