An editor in Chi 1 ?ago offered him $12 a week. "It was a fortune," said Carleton. Then in quick succession came so-1 Ikatations from the Toledo Blade and Harper's Weekly. To the latter Carleton sent the famous "Over tho j Hillslo the Poorhouse," which jl brought him $30 in money and an iuKuurtality of fame.

Eut the tiiitiii g teasels which sailed from Europe to tLatpnitoi the Caribbean sea were manned ly bold and daring sailors, ai d w heii they knew that Santo Domingo contained an abundance of beef cattle, they did not besitato to stop at the little seaports to replenish their stores. The natives cl the island were skilled in the art of prepaitug beef by smoking and drying it very macb in the same way in which our Indians prepare "jerked meat" for winter use. But so many vessels enme to Santo Domingo lor beef that theiewerc not enough people ou the island to do all theskunting r.ud uiyingthatj were necessary; so these tracing \ es eels frequently auchoreti in s?. mo quiet cove, anil the, crews went on glioi'o and devoted theim elves io eocuring a uirgo of hi.i, r.ot only' enough fof their cv.n use, but tor trading purposes, and ti:u^ Ihty be1 j came known as "beef criers," or i buccaneers. When the Spaniards hcnrtl ci this new industry which had s;iis*.u within the limits of th-Jr j oat-os-! eions, they pursued the vessels of the buccaneers wLirever they were seen and leleti tie-sly destroyed them and their crews. Uut thero were not enough Spanish vessels to j ut down the trade iu dried beef. Lioie European vessels, generally Lngiisli and French, stopped at Santo Duiuin-, go, and irore Lends of hunting suitors made ttuir v. ay into the interior. When these daring fellows knew that the Spaniards were detc rmincd to break up their trade, they Lccamo more determined that it should not be broken up, and they armed elves and their vessels so that they might be nble to make u defense against the Spanish men-of-war. Thus gradually and almost imperceptibly a btateof maritime vaiiaro grow up in the waters of the West Indies between Spain and the beef; traders of other nations, and, Irani,' being obliged to tight, the buccaneers became glad to tight, provided ; that it was Spain they fought. True to her policy cf despotism and cruelty when dealingwith her American: possessions, Spain waged a bitter and bloody v tr against the Lucca-; neers who dared to interfere with {he commercial relations between herself and her West India colonies, and in return the buccaneers were i just as bitter and savage in their warfare against Spain.

If Vot, Yd* Ha*? One of the Rare U. Ii-.U:'. of Thin L!"e. On the sugar j knitatic-i.-* tko tall, thick stalks lull of goodness are being pulled up by the roots and bundied homeward on stalwart heads and shoulders. Wagon loads are being carried to mill, llauked by tho jugs and demijohns in which the sirup will he put after it has been cooked and a due measure of toll deducted. Many and many a digni tied carryall or voclcaway making its way along the roads has a tethering of stalks stoutly lashed together leaning upon the back scat and destined for some boy or girl whose home crop of canc has not turned or.t well. Even the sportsman who drives in his buggy to the appointed meeting place takes along a stalk or two of cane to top oil bis midday meal. The school children all have the purplish sticks. On every juggling board in hall or piazza, every settle or rustic sent where the young people gather in the afternoon or evening, the cane tioole goes on. Those accustomed to chewing cane are fastidious as to the kind offered then). "I say, Charley, whon did you pull up that stalki Last week? It isn't nice a "bit," says a girl connoisseur. throwing the strip she has been working on as far out among the flower l>eds as she can. "Now, Miss Fussy." protests Charley, who is stripping oft another joint, "I pulled that sulk as I rode up from Durland's yesterday afternoon. It couldn't have gone off in flavor in that little timo." "Did it have the roots on nil right, or did somebody out them off when you brought it in the houser" "It had the roots on until ten minutes ago. There was no chance for the goodness to escape.,s "Well, then, I don't like the flavor of that patch on the road to Durlaud's. The cane down there in the hollow back of the stables i3 twice as good. and, besides, any onne to bo first class ought to be eaten just the minute it's picked." The sugar cane season is a lereler, inasmuch as it reminds women of their dependence upon men. The plantation girl can't cut and jieel her canestalk any more than she can sharpen her penoil. If she gets hold of a fine locking stalk, ehe waits until Jack or John or Charley is on hand to peel it for her. "Here, Miss Xancy, you eh'ew partners wnn me, says some uuyish sprite of mischief to the newcomer who does not know the ropes. Miss Nancy agreeing, the longest joint to he found is cut, peeled and split to convenient size.' A pretended measurement of the girl's mouth having been taken in order that the slico may not he too wide, Miss Nancy begins chewing at* one end and her partner at the other. When middle ground is reached, the two faces arc, of course, close together, and Miss Nancy retires, scarlet, amid peals of laughter, declaring that she will "never, never, never speak to that odious boy again." If anything can approach the watermelon in the darky's favor, sugar cane does. Very few of the negro small farmers can afford to raieo the genuine cane, as the culture requires rich ground and the product is not regarded as a necessity. They all have little patches of millet, however, or of sorghum, end those who are employed about the places where cane is grown are in clover. The pickaninnies do not wait for knives when they want to get at the sugary fluid of either sorghum or cane. They bite pieces out of the herd rind with their teeth and then pnll the remainder off somehow and break the stalk off above a joint by hitting it on a hard surface. The pickaninnies demonstrate every day the uselessnees of many articles that enlightened people think indispensable. A figure of bliss is a black youngster of 6 or 7 clinging to a stalk of cane for dear life and dancing up and down with satisfaction as the juice trickles down bis throat. His ciders, though leaa demonstrative, are by no means above showing their loyo of the sugary delicacy. "1 ain't plant no cane myself, seein as it take up right smart of ground as would do to make cotton," says Uncle York, "but I does lub to see it growin off pretty in de summer time likedatdert tbecapt'n raisa 1 like*, to taste it too. Seem like when you git de newness of it in you it does do you a mighty sight of good."?New York Sun. Why H? Ccoldn't Have It.

It removes dandruff, cleanses the scalp, nourishes the soil in which the hair grows, and, just as a desert will blossom under rain, so bald heads grow hair, when the roots are nourished.

The bladder wascreated foronepurpose. namely, a receptcle for the urine and as such it is not liable to any form of diseases except by one or two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second is from careless local treatment of other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE.
