After a life of varied and bril liant activity, he died, a homeless fURltlve, In Itopo makors' Alley, Moor Molds, on April 20. 1731. It 1 s father, a butcher educated Daniel for tho dln sentlhs ministry, but tho boy's un remitting energy led him to be a trader, a political lntrlRiicr, nnd an I n d e f n t Iguble journalist. He rosb to great Intimacy with IClnff William III., and abruptly fell to pillory and prison for his too per fect satire. "Tho Shortest Way with Dissenters." From Newffate ho launched hla remarkable Review, a Journnl writ ten entirely by himself. Ho advocated an Income tax and higher education for women. Ho wrote 250 distinct pamphlets and books, but his master piece, "Robinson Crusoe," was not pub lished until 1710, when tho author was nearly 60 years old. This, the nrst great English novol, 1ms in some re spects never been surpassed. Its Im mediate popularity Incited Defoe to write a sequel nnd many thrilling talcs of pirates and adventurers, of courte sans and adventuresses. Ills vivid story of the plague nppeared three years after "Robinson Crusoe." "Defoe was perhaps tho greatest liar that ever lived. Yet If wo go deep into his rich .and strnngoly mixed nature, wo come upon stubborn foundations of conscience." Whatever tho ultimate Judgment of his honesty. "Robinson Crusoe" liven immortally to attest his genius in Invention. 1" father designed me for the law, but I would bo satisfied only with going to sen, nnd being one day nt Hull nnd one of my companions about to go by sen to Lon don In Ills father's ship, nothing would serve me but I must go with him this on September 8, 1051, and I being then nineteen yenrs of age. The ship wns no sooner out of port than the wind began to blow nnd the sea to rise In the most frightful man ner, which mnde me most terribly sick' In body nnd frightened In mind. In my agony I vowed that If God would spare me through this one voyage I would go, Immediately I wet foot on land, directly homo to my good par ents nnd be ever nftef guided In my conduct by their ndvlcc. nut next dny the wind was abnted nnd the sea calmer, nnd the suiij went down to a perfectly fine evening, nnd when to that was added a bowl of punch made by a shipmate, I forgot my resolution to return home nfter tho voyage; nnd such has been my hnblt, to my grent misfortune, nil my Ufa: to dlsvow In tho hour of peril tho headstrong actions which have brought mo to peril, and when the danger Is past to forget nil vows and plunge headlong once more on my heedless courses. Vnrlous were my adventures nfter that first tempestuous voyage. Trad ing to Guinea In Africa I was cap tured by a Turkish rover and sold Into slavery, from whence after many perils I escaped to the Brazils, where I set myself up for a sugar planter nnd wns enjoying n fine prosperity therent, when I fell n victim to temp tntlon. IIclp being senrce In tho Bra zils and some planters there knowing that I had traded with the slave coasts of Africa, they beguiled me Into a voy age to those parts with the Intent to secure slave lnbor for our plantations. Only evil does ever come of evil counsel. Our ship was wrecked on an unknown Islnnd off to the northeast coast of South America, and of all tho ship's company I alone, by tho bless ing of God, wns allowed to , escape through tho high surf to the shore. All I possessed at the time wns u knife, a pipe nnd n Httlo tobacco In a box. Walking along tho shore, when I had recovered sufficiently In strength so to wnlk, I found fresh water, a great Joy. Having drunk and put a little tobacco against the hunger In my mouth, I took up my lodging In a tree nnd did thero sleep to my great refreshment through out the night. Next morning the wenther was clear anil the sea mild, but what pleased mo most wns the sight of the ship which, as the tide ebbed, lay so close to tho shore that I found no troublo In swim ming out to It. No living thing except a dog nnd two cats were left on the ship; hut thero was a store of neces sities, nnd such I took, building a raft for the purpose of transporting them to nn Inlet In the Island where win fresh water and u flat high place for my habitation. On the night of tho thirteenth dny, my work of transport tntlon being done, I lny down In my usual fear of wild beasts, but also of thankfulness In tho knowledge tlint I wns prepared for some time to come ngnlnst the barrenness of this Island. Thero were wild fruit trees on the Islnnd, but It wns mnny .days before I discovered them. Thero were also goats running wild, but without the flrenrms nnd ammunition I had brought from the ship of what avail were they to me? So I had renson to be thank ful for the good Providence which hel tho ship to the shore until I hud take off all that was of use to me. There was much to be done If 1 wen to secure my existence on this strung Islnnd. The needful things I did n best I could In turn, but not always wllli good fortune attending my efforts In my first planting of barley and corn seed, the half of all my precious stoc'.J was wasted by reason of being planted In the very wrong time. I spent weary months In making enrth-wnro pots for holding fresh water; and forty-two days It took mo to hew my first long plnnlc from a tree trunk. I strove for weeks to fashion n stone mortar to stamp grain In, only to come nt last to a block of hollowod-out wood. Five months I labored In felling n great cedar tree, hewing nnd slmplns It to the hull of a splendid hont with which I wns to escape from the Island, only to he forced to nbnndon It for want of n means whereby to launch It Into the sea. However, every failure taught me something I hnd not known before. For tho elements, there were groat winds nnd rnlns and earthquakes. But I became used In time to nil things-. I plnnted nnd harvested my crops of barley and corn; I plucked my wild grapes nnd dried them Into nourishing raisins; I raised and killed and smoked and salted my tnmo goats, being thus for variety of good not so badly served. And so through the twelve yenrs dur ing which I saw no sign of huninn existence on the Island other than my own, until that eventful day on which I met with the print of n man's naked foot on the sand. I wns then like one thunderstruck. I listened, I looked, but I could hear nothing, seo nothing. I went up tho shore, down the shore; but there was only that single font-print I Terrified to the Inst degree, I ran to my habi tation like oho pursued ; and for three diiys nnd nights thereafter I did not stir out. After observation I learned that It was the habit of cannibals from tho mnln-lnnd to come to n part of the' Island which I seldom visited to feast upon the bodies of their captured enemies. One morning from my look out I perceived thirty savages dancing around a fire. They had cooked one victim r id had two more rendy for the fire, when I descended upon them with two loaded muskets nnd my great sword, nnd wns In tinio to save one which they had not yet. enten. The saved man I called Friday, In honor of the day of his rescue, nnd his wns the first voice I heard in nil my 2 yenrs on the lslnnl. lie wns young, intelligent, of n superior race of sav ages nnd beenme my trusted compan ion for nil the time I remnlned on tho Islnnd. "What Friday told me of the main land, nfter I hnd taught him some English, decided me to leave my Islnnd. "We built n bont, this time not too fnr from the sen for Inunchlng, and were almost ready to set sail when 21 sav ages In throe ennoes lnnded on tho Islnnd with three prisoners 'for n feast. One of the prisoners was a white mnn, which enraged me. I douhle-chnrged two fowling pieces, four muskets, two pistols, nnd giving Friday a hatchet and also a great dram of rum nnd myself my great sword, we descended nnd killed nil but four of the savages. Ono of the prisoners, was Friday's father. The white man wns a Spaniard, ft survivor from n ship of which I hnd seen the wrecked hull on my Islnnd some years before this, and from which I had taken some 1,200 pieces of gold, but of which I mnde smnll account becnuse of Its being of less value to me than so much sand of the beach. Tho Spanlnrd and Friday's father I sent with fire-arms and food In my new bont to bring back the wrecked crew of the Spanish ship. While wnlt lng for their return nn English ship with a mutinous crew put Into my Islnnd. I helped the cnptaln recover his ship nnd took passage with him for Englnnd, leaving on the Island tho most mutinous members with two honest ones who wished ulso to re main. Later, my Spnnlnrds returned nnd nil settled together on the Islnnd, huvlng their dissensions nt first, but settling down flnnlly Into n flourishing colony, which some years later It was my happiness to visit. After twenty-eight years, two months nnd nineteen days I left my Islnnd. I nntlclputed much Joy of my arrival In Englnnd, but I was like a stranger there. My mother nnd father were both dead, which was unfortunnte, as I could havo been of great service to them; for besides the 1,200 pieces of gold from the Spanish ship, there was 10,000 pounds sterling nwaltlng me from an honest friend, n Portuguese captain to whom I had entrusted my cstnto In the Brazil before setting forth on the Ill-fated errand which threw me for twenty-eight years on my Island. So pleased wns I wlt,h his honesty that I settled 100 moldures n year on him nnd fifty moldures u your on his son, both for life. I married and begot three children, nnd except for the one voynge to the old Island, of which I hnvo spoken, I ronmed no more. So here I am, having lived ii life of Infinite vnrlety for 20 years, blessed with ihorc than I de serve nnd resolved to preparo now for the longest Journey of nil. If I lmv learned nnythlng, It Is a knowledge nt the value of retirement and the bless ing of ending our dnys In peace. Copyrlg-1, 1519, by tho Post Publishing Co. (Tho Boston Post). Childhood.

CLEAR CALL TO AMERICANS Year 1920 Should Be Remembered by All as Anniversary of Establish ment of Free Institutions. Distinguished Americans, Including Wllllnm II. Taft, Charles Hughes and Cardinal Gibbons, have appealed to their fellow countrymen to remember and honor by local celebrations nt any suitable time beginning June I tho establishment of free Institutions In America. A great year is 1020. Three hundred yenrs ago beginning tho HOth of Inst July, there wns being held In Jamestown, colony of Virginia, the first American legislative assembly called by free men of lawful ago nnd understanding. And during this time, with bclf-govornnient nt Its birth hour, the Pilgrims from England nfter a twelve years' sojourn In Holland were uiuklpg ready to establish In the new world a home of religious freedom. One yenr after the Virginians met, this Pilgrim band set sail for Amer ica, departing from Leyden, Hollnud, July 30, 1C20. Furthermore let It not be forgotten that Nov. 11 Is not only tho anniversary day of signing of the Mayflower compact, second assump tion by English colonies In America of the unalienable right of self-government, but It Is nlso of the signing of tho armistice closing tho great war In which, as the above representative spokesmen point out, the descendants of tho Pilgrims of New England and the cavaliers of Virginia and their kindred crossed the sea and won lib erty together. A year with an Im perative challenge to renew policies of Americanization and patriotic conse cration is 1020, and no community should be without Its 'religious nnd civic expression In acknowledgment of the past and In dedlcntlon to the fu ture. Landmark to Be Preserved, The Mullnn tree, landmark of the old Mullnn trnll, tho first highway connecting Montnnn and Idnho with the const, will bo preserved to posteri ty through the creation of a national monument area by tlie president. On July" 4. 1801, Captain John Mullnn, leader of tho party having In charge tho survey nnd construction of the Mullnn trail from Wnlln Walla, Wash., to Ft. Benton, Mont., closed his work nt tho connecting point of the roads from the enst ami west, nt the head of tho Fourth of July canyon, be tween Wallace, Idaho, and Coeur d'Alcne, Idnho. Thero he mnrked ap propriately a huge white pine tree, which since that time has been known ns the Mullnn tree. Tourists seeking souvenirs of their Jaunt along the Yellowstone trail hnve damaged the ancient tree so much Hint forest serv ice oflicers have found It necessary to tnke steps to protect It, nnd to ac complish this havo submitted n peti tion proposing that a national monu ment area bo created, which has been upproved.

YouDon'tHavetoGamble When You Buy Roofing Trying to fill a four-flush may be good poker, but you can't afford to apply thfj same principle to buying roofing. And you don't have to. Certain-teed Roofing offers you a fair and square buy. Its merits are on the table all above board -r- everybody knows them. Certain-teed Roofing is guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to weight. That guarantee is backed by the largest manuf turers of prepared roofing in the world. Jn no case has Certain-teed ever been known to wear out on the roof. ' . Certain-teed Roofing is weather-proof, fire-retarding and spark-proof. t It gives ,real roofing protection. Certain-teed Means Known .Value There's no gamble in that proposition; What do you get when you buy private . brands? What will they do? You know nothing about them. If you are willing to buy cheap roofing, get it at a fair price. We make a third grade roofing, called Guard Roofing, which is satisfactory where long life is not required. It looks as good as any roofing. It is priced and sold strictly on the basis of third-grade roofing. Any responsible dealer can get either Certain-teed or Guard for you quickly from a nearby Certain-teed warehouse or jobber. He gets it when he wants it and he gets what he wants. He can afford to sell you at a fair price.
