ROSS D. YOUNG, County Treasurt CREDIT GHOST WITH WRECK Devon People Believe Sight of Spanish Flag on British Ship Angered Admiral Drake. Anyone who knows the villages of the west of' England will be aware that they are a fertile soil for nil man ner of superstitious beliefs. And the process of. creating new legends has evidently not yet come to an end, if we may accept a statement made at a recent women's institute meeting at Exeter, at whiclh various speakers re counted the traditions of their respect ivo localities. A few years ago the battle ship .lontague was wrecked on Lundy Island as she was entering the Bristol channel in a fog. Tpe people of the neigiiorhood, we are told, have no doubt that she was lured to her doom by the spirit of Sir Francis Drake. She happened to be flying the Spanish lag in honor of the marriage of King Alphonso and Princess Ena. This the proud ghost of Dqvon's great seaman could not brook, and he made her pay the penalty by running her upon the rocks.-Manchester Guardian. Easy. "Now, children," tbe teacher said, "suppose we wished to go to Calcutta, how would we proceed? You tell us, Tommie?" "I'd get on th train and go to New York," Tommie responded promptly, then paused. "Yes?" the teacher encouraged. "Then I'd get a steamship," Tommie answered and sat down. "But you haven't told us the route you would follow," teacher protested Again Tommie rose. "Oh, I would not butt in on that,' he declared. "I'd leave that to the shii captain, 'cause he'd likely have been there before, and, besides, I believe it leaving all technical matters to ex perts."

Springfield, -Mass., Feb. 8.-The Uni ted States is facing the worst finan cial crisis in Its history, declared Speaker Frederick 'H. Gillett, of the national house of 'Roprosentatives, this afternoon in an address, here be fore five thousand persons. The pres ent high cost of living, he said, is due largely to the greatly inflated condi tions, due to the floating debt of $-1, 000,000,000 in itreasury cortiillcates, and the principal means of bringing it down is by thrift on the part of the public with the alternative that this country will face a panic similar to that of 1893. It is up to the public, he said, to practice due cares, elimin ate luxuries so that the present con ditions may be bettered. 'Like the problem of years ago, when the government -was forced to fight trusts, the speaker said that to day congress faces a now question, "a question whether the combination Multir r d a it ci It k 7 10 Whe It FIRST WAY el k.$ SECOND WA S, of THIRD WAN ln 11 ng \ ee hrs in- ( 0. 58 St. rid iFOURTH WJ the me las me nts s FIFTH WMl los :of ree A $5,( o :en. elm Telephone I out he . if the employed are not more threat ning to our business life than that )f the employers."
