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.

"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,
