The British West Indies may not be worth much in money, but they arc rich in money tradition. It was the lure of these Islands that brought the avaricious gold hunters of Colum bus, way across the seas in search of the fabled wealth of the western isles. It was here that the brave British admirals went to "singe the king of Spain's beard." Stories of sunken money-ships and burIed treasures in and around the islands are niumerous. Capt. Kidd, Morgan and many other famous buc enneers made the islands their rendez vous. Sir Walter Itaelgh went there and so did the ill fated Darien. In later years the islands were fought over by the Spanish, British, Dutch and French. The latter were supposed to be very rich, but when the British drove themn from tile Is land they were unable to find the hidden gold. An old negress once toldi a story that renewed interest inI this fabled French wealth. Aln old man tIlI prolcheld her, she sailt, IInd asked 11 rections to the grave of her mtistress' youngest child.

INSPIRED AT ODD MOMENTS Brilliant Thoughts That H-ave Come to Men of Genius in Their Hours of Repose There is a photograph, with which most of us are no doubt familiar, of Mark Twain at work in bed-holding his writing pad on his knees, and having the things he needed for his labor disposed about on tables on either side. But the idea of working in bed was not original with Mark. Many eminent men before him did the same thing, a writer in the Phila delphia Ledger says, Indeed, no, small part of the world's: literary treasure has been produced between the sheet, by physical Indolent although men. tally active men of genius. One of the hest known lines in Eng Ilsh poetry carne into its author's head when he was actually asleep. Whlile visiting at Minto, Thomas Campbell one evening went to bed early, with his mind full of a new poem. About 2 o'clock in the morning he suddenly awakened repeating, "Events to come cast their shadows before." Itinging the bell sharply, he summoned a ser vant. The man found Campbell with one foot in bed and one on the floor. "Are you Ill, sire" he asked. "I was never better in my life," sald the poet. "Leave the candle and bring 1ne a Cup of teli." Seizing his pen he put down the happy thought, changing "events to come" into "corning events," and over the noninebrlat ing cuip, lie fin ished the first driaft of "L~om-iiel's WVaraing."
