MILLIONS CF PIRATE GOLD
Ancient Mariner Holds Secret and
Slabs for Boat te
Ranch It.
Buldon, Jewels and gold douMoons worth
llO.OOO.OOO, taken In piracy and burled In
the South Sea Islands, glitter In the tale
told by O. M. Faulkner, treasurer and man
ager of the Corporation Security company,
at 1S5 Summer street, lie Is advertising
tock for sale In a treasure finding expedi
tion to go and get the an lent plunder, and
the South Sea Trading company is Incoi
Jiorated under the laws of Massachusetts.
Captain James Brown, of SOS Calls street,
Frovl lence. Is ar. ancient mariner of 7fl
years, and has knowr. about the treasuic
for 57 years, and n1thmis.li he's known all
song where the treasure was. he hasn't
needed the money until lately. Now he
wants to buy a bout and go dig It up.
So say Mr. Faulkner and the captain.
When Captain liinwr. was In his 'teens he
fell In with Captain Henry Smith, of Kings
ton, Jamaica, the son of a pirate and rlfler
of Spanish ships on the mysterious western
coasts of South America. Old Smith burled
Ms Ill-gotten gains on Loco's Island, off
the cast of E' undor, where scores have
turned up the rarda in vein attempts to
find It. The reason they alwuvs failed was
that old Smith told the hoys where.lt was,
snd they hud dug It up and gone over

toward Australia and burled It on a lonely
Isle.
So sy Mr. Faulkner and Cpalo Brown.
Tlci In lf.l 3mlth and Brown drifted
over to Bydijey, Australia, snd fell In with
marvelous good news. For two British
s'eamers l.sJ tailed out of that port loaded
to the scuppers with gems and gold, and
Smith and Brown got together a crew of
the boldest spirits and sped forth or. piracy
bent. After a doimhty stern chase, says
Mr. Faulkner, ot Boston, the rakish craft
thst flew the black flag overtook the treas
ure ships on the high seas and slew every
nt.su Jack of their crews. On this Impor
tant point there is Captain Brown's affi
davit. They scuttled the British steamers
artcr taking the rich cargoes aboard their
own, and set sail for the secret island,
where they burled the new treasure beside
the ancient plunder of Smith's father.
Then 8mlth did a scurvy trick, If what
Mr. Faulkner says Is so. for he poisoned all
his mates except Brown and the steward,
the one to help navigate the lot-sr boat and
the other to do the cooking and keep him
alive. Then ho scuttled the pirate ship and
hied back to Australia. When sufficiently
near the coast to be safe he decided to get
rid of the rest. So he shot the steward and
t'.irr.wl on Brown. Bu-t Captain Brown had
the drop on him, and the body of Smith
wer.t over the side into the ee with a
bullet hole to let the waters In.
So says Mr. Faulkner. Brown was now
the sole possessor of the great aecret, and
he kept It right well. Along about 1836,
however, he began to need the money. He
had been smuggling arms and ammunition
to the Cuban insurgents and a cargo was
confiscated. It left him penniless.
Now his chance has come. He has an
option to buy the Ethelwold, one of the
steamers of the United Fruit company, for
H6.fM. So the company has been organised
with a capital of I1OO.000 to raise the funds.
No money has beerj paid In yet, but there's
$10,ono In sight, and they are advertising
for more In order to get the thing under
way. Boston Herald.
TIPS ON POWER OF ECONOMY
Tina; Power of Self-Denlal
Mounts Into SeTen
Flsrorrs. ,
How much can the American nation save
by wearing Its old clothes this year? The
report of the census of manufactures for
li6 shows that the factory product of
men s clothing for the year was valued at
M3o.79;.B71. One-third of this, or consid
erably less than one-third on the basis of
retail prices, would more than equal the
entire balance of trade In this country's
favor for the month of December.
There were $30,629,353 worth of felt hats
sold In 1906. By wearing their felt hats
60 per cent longer than they have been ac
customed to doing plain Americans can In a
year effect a saving greater than the esti
mate of Mr. Rockefeller's total benefactions
during 1908, the record year for philan
thropy. Yet It Is not always with clothes that
peruple first adopt a policy of retrenchment.
Ix-t them, for example, cut down by only
one-third for only one-half a year the
amount they spend on fresh beef, leaving
all the other Items of the butcher's bill
unaltered. That six months' saving would
be greater than the sum paid last October
over the counters of the company which en
dured the longest run In the history of
banking Institutions. Contract by the same
proportion the consumption of all kinds of
meat and many well-qualified persons
think this would be abundantly worth while
on hygienic grounds alone a,nd a sum equal
to the entire government surplus of No
vember 1, 1907. would be saved In less than
ten months.
As to the commodities which are classed
as real luxuries, the facts are equally
striking. Enough cigars were "withdrawn
for consumption" In 1905 to provide about
eight and one-half cigars per week for
every cigar smoker, on the assumption that
one-fifth of the total population, Including
babes In arms, may fairly be put down lh
that class. Even for mere purposes of
Illustration no one would be cruel enough
to suggest treating the cigar as the col
onists once treated their tea. But In a
great emergency like this the average
smoker might consider cutting down his
allowance to one cigar a day. That trifling
act of abnegation would make a difference
In the country's cigar bills of more than
la.MO.OM) a year. Statistics show that we
are not a whisky drinking nation at our
worst. Yet we could save 110.000.000 a year
on whisky alone and still give one-fifth of
our population a stiff dram every Saturday
nlftht. Beer Is another matter. In the re
cent piping times our per capita consump
tion of this beverage, babies and all, roae
to more than twenty gallons.' Put down
beer drinkers as one-third of the popula
tion, and each of thr-m could have ap
proximately eighteen glasses a week. Re
duce that only two a day and the margin
of saving is over IjO.000,000.
It would, of course, bo a simple matter
to carry the calculation through every de
rartment of production. The figures do not
constitute in themselves an argument for
saving. That Is to say, no one Is likely to
deny himself pickles, for example, merely
because It has been shown to him that, If
every one else did the same, enough money
would be raved to build a cathedral every
five years. Such an argument, however. Is
at the bottom of most pleas for the simple
life. New York Evening Post.

J. L BRANDEIS & SON'S. ,
FAVORITE YARNS SPUN BY TAFT
election from the Varied Kxperl-
fnpi of the Republican
Candidate.
Among his friends and Intimates William
H. Taft Is renowned as a story-teller. He
enjoys hearing a good story as much as. he
delights to recount one. He Is exceedingly
prone to Illustrate a point In an argument
with an anecdote. Most of Mr. Taft's
stories are the result of personal experi
ence. His long service at the bar and on
the bench of the I'nited States court pro
vided him with many of hi best stories.
The following examples are furnished from
the memory of a friend of Mr. Taft, who
heard them from the lips of tho republican
candidate for the presidency.
"Old Judge Thompson, who lived In
southern Kentucky, wis walking downtown
one day," said Mr. Taft, "when a brlsV
young lawyer said. shortly, 'Howdy,
Judge?' and was about to pass on, when
the Judge halted hh.i. Judge Thompson
was a stickler for the amount of defer
ence he thought was due him for his Judi
cial position and mental attainments.
"So he bristled at the rather formal
greeting cf the lawyer and said sternly,
'Young man, I fine you $10!' Completily
surprised, the offender said, 'Why, Judge?'
'For contempt of court, sir,' replied the
Judge. . 'Contempt of court!' exclaimed the
lawyer. 'Why, Judge, I didn't know that
court was In session right here on this
sidewalk.' 'Blr,' thundered the Judge, "this
court is always In session, and therefore
always an object of contempt, sir. Oo
and pay your fine to the clerk Immedi
ately.' "
"Tom Marshall, another Kentucklan, got
on a rampage one day tn court," said Mr.
Taft, "and delivered himself of some senti
ments that aroused the Ire of the Judg-;,
who Imposed a fine of H0 for contempt.
Marshall protested that he had not a cent.
'Borrow It of a friend.' sus'ly returned the
judge.
" 'Well, your li.xc,' replied Marshall,
'you are about the best friend I have.
Will you lend me the $10?' 'Remit the
fine,' directed the Judge, turning to the
clerk of the court, 'the stcte Is much
better able to lose $10 than I am.' "
"One of the old time lawyers of the
south whom I used to meet when I was
holding court down In Tennessee," said
Mr. Taft, "would tell with roars of
laughter an Incident tliat happened to
him soon after he had put cut his shingle.
His office had previously been occupied
by a cobbler. One day when he was busy
getting up a case an Irishman came In
looking for the cobbler.
" 'The cobbler's gone?" said the Irish
man. 'He Is,' said the lawyer, shortly.
'And what might you be afther Belling?'
asked the Irishman, regarding the sparse
furnishings and the few books In the
office. 'Blockheads,' replied the lawyer,
'8hure, business must be good,' retorted the
Irishman, looking hard at the lawyer; 'I
see you're all sold out but one.' "
Mr. Taft takes keen delight In recalling
to Mrs. Taft's memory an Incident which
occurred last fall, the morning the Tafta
landed In Yokohama, Japan. Several
newspaper men, Americans, English and
Japanese, were In the party that boarded
the stearr'hlp. One of the Japanese re
porters. Ignorant of the Identity of Mrs.
Taft, but recognizing her as a member
of the party. Interviewed her Industriously.
Finally he got around to the subject of
Mr. Taft's candidacy for the presidency.
"Do you know Mr. Taft well?" asked the
reporter. "Fairly well, I think," replied
Mrs. Taft "He Is a candidate for the
presidency?" was the reporter's next
question. "I believe so," said Mrs. Taft.
"Do you think he will make a good presi
dent?" "He ought to, I think." promptly replied
Mrs. Taft; "he Is an excellent husband."
"Is that so?" Interestedly queried the re
porter. "May I ask how you know?"
"Certainly," ssld Mrs. Taft, "I am hla
wife." The reporter failed to see the Joke
and the interview appeared verbatim.
Some one asked Mr. Taft upon his re
turn from a recent speaking tour In the
wet If the trip did not fatigue him. He
replied: "Somewhat, perhaps, but not the
way a farmer friend of mine once com
plained he was fatigued. He had another
farmer brought before a Justice of the
peace on a charge of assault and bat
tery, and was asked to give his version of
the affair. "Well." began the farmer.
"I went up to Bill's place to talk over a
little business, and got to argulnff. He
accused me of saving something that I
hadn't said, nnd I called him a liar. Then
he up and knocked me down, and before
I could get on my feet he grabbed me by
the whiskers and dragged me all over the
plnce." "Were you hurt or frightened
while this was going on?" demanded the
lawyer for the defendant. "Well, no, I
can't eay that I was frightened much,"
replied the farmer, "but, by goeh, I whs
pretty well tired out when he got
through." New York Herald.

INTRICACIES OF THE NEW HATS
It R eq n I res Tonrh of Skilled Makers
to Produce Desired Ef
fect. A striking new hat displayed In a
Fifth avenue shop has a big crown of net
and lace, a brim of leghorn and a simple
frill of lace falling over this straw brim
qilte to Its edge. The brim droops sharply
all around and Is quito wide at the back,
but narrows toward the front, running In
sharply at the center front so that It Is
not more than two or three Inches wide at
this point.
This shaping of the brim Is popular
throughout the province of the bonnet and
Is becoming because it leaves the front hair

and brow uncovered, while furnishing a
30ft clinging fullness around the sides and
back of the head.
The width of the back brim or frills
varies, but often the frills fall almost to
the shoulders, while on or the models they
do not fall below the tips of the ears.
These shapes, as may be Imagined, re
quire most skilful wiring In order that the
frills may fall In the correct and graceful
lines and that the crown drapery may have
the right support. In fact this new old
bonnet In Its really successful form calls
for a designer w ho Is an artist, and workers
cap able of mateilallzing his Ideas. Clumsily
made, such creations are hopeless, and
the contrast between the models exhibited
In the really smart shops and those shown
In the cheaper places Is an object lesson In
millinery art.
NEW AMERICAN HOSTESS
Widow of "Silent Smith" Welcomed
to London's Fashion
able Set.
A new Amerlcun hostess, and a very
Important one. Is Mrs. James Henry
Smith, widow of "Silent Smith," who, to
the great Joy of the ellglbles of both sexes,
has decided to reside In England for at
least a year. Mrs. Smith, who is now ap
pearing in colors for the first time since
her husband's death, has taken the late
Ixird Nunburnholme's big house In Gros
venor square, and Bhe intends, after Ascot,
GREEN LINEN AND BLACK LEATHER.
to give several dinner-dances there for her
daughter, Miss Stwart, and his niece, Miss
Margharlta Drexel, both heiresses.
Mrs. Smith has also leased Sir diaries
Forbes' famous castle In Aberdeenshire for
the autumn, which predicates the fact that
she Intends to entertain lavishly during
the shooting season.
Another heiress who has attracted atten
tion at several dances because of her un
usual height Is the daughter of Oliver Ise
lln. She positively towers over some of her
partners.
The country around Ascot Is dotted with
Americans who have taken houses. Mrs.
Anthony Drexel, Mrs. Potter Palmer, Mrs.
J. J. Astor. Princess Hatzfeldt, Lady Cun
ard and Miss Van Wart are all entertaining
race parties.
At Ascot the extremest fashions are al
ways displayed.
Drroratlve Hatpins.
Hugo hatpins are still in vogue, and
there sre some new ones of pearl, which
are stuck through the hair at the side, Just
above the ear, and this gives the effect of
a rather barbous adornment. Some of
these large pins are very handsome, for
they are made of cut Jade, Ivory or finest
Jet.
A New Color.
"Rust" Is the very latest creation In
the color line, and It Is as the name Im
plies a sort of reddish brown. At present
It Is said to be rather a popular shade for
dress materials, because It allows of al
most any color hat violet, green, pink or
blue will harmonise with It equally well.

MILLINERY MORE INTERESTING
Mid-Summer Styles nccomr More
Intricate, but Also More
Interesting. -
The millinery shops have been moro in
teresting during June than they usually
are so lute In the season, and women who
had flattered themselves that their summer
supply of hats wa3 secured early have
yielded to temptation and bought at least
one moro hat since the lntest things In
midsummer millinery have been on view.
For they are altogether bewitching,
these late season models, things quite apart
from the hats to which we have grown
accustomed during the springtime. Not
that Bprlng shapes and trimmings are out
of date. Far from It. but the usual weigh
ing and balancing of experimental mades
has taken place, certuln models have been
found good and retained; others have been
found wanting and relegated to the undts
crlmlnatlng. Lighter and more summery trimmings
have given a new aspect to some of the
familiar shapes, aul moreover a host of
new Ideas or of new variations upon old
Ideas have been sent across seas to us
within the past month.
Having noted tho emphatic favor ac
corded to dlrertolre models, the Parisian
milliners as well as the Parisian dress
makers have turned tlieir attention chiefly
to experiment with the fashion Ideas of
that period a.id have evolved many quaint
fantanlea and a few undeniably charming
creations; but they have not confined them
selves to directoire times In their search
for lnspiiation and have seised upon pic
turesque ideas wherever they could find
them.
HERO HURRIESFROM TOWN
Catches Baby on the Fly and Saves
the Mother, Constitutes a
Drummer's Smut.
By an unusual exhibition of presence of
mind John T. Hayes, a traveling sales
man, saved the lives of a woman and a
baby and stopped a runaway horse as It
was about to dash Into a panic stricken
crowd on the sidewalk at Naug ituek, Conn.
After his feat Hayes dodged the praises
of the persons he had suved, demurred to
giving his name, and hurried from the city
on the nisxt train that passed through.
Hayes was at the depit waiting for his
train to arrive when he noticed a com
motion on the street outside. Going to the
street, he saw a horse and buggy tearing
down the street toward the depot. run
away. A wuiuan was on the seat with a
baby In her arms swaying to and fro with
the motion of the wagon, and apparently
preparing to Jump.
Although the street was crowded, no one
made an attempt to stop the horse. Sev
eral persons shouted to the woman not to
Jump, but as the horse ncared Hayes she
was seen to make ready to spring. "Throw
the bady to me." shouted Hayes.
The woman understood, and as the horse
clattered past tossed the little body Into

Again are many yc.ung men and muldens,
with not a few of their elders, walking,
running, and variously riding bIkuii the
country with hearts bared to the sun. They
do this despite many incidental d'scomforts
and a decided diminution of such persm.il
charms as they may possess, from a notion

In hot countries dress themselves.
