Halifax, N, 8. -- The story telling how Captain Benoni d'Entre- mont, of Pubnico, N.S., and his crew thrown overboard from their er the Sonsbenture ic was seized by a United States privateer in 1778, 'and how the Captam with "two of his men, boarded the schooner at night, recaptured it and sail. 'into Lockeport the next morning ith twelve prisoners, has become traditional, having been handed down from generation to. generation, but nevertheless the tale is based on ts. During and after the war of 1776, were many privateers which, looking for British vessels carrying contraband, also came into the har- bors of the south shore of Nova Scotia for loot, There were only a few families around Pubnico harbor at that time, and they, accustomed to 'the visits of privateers, always hid anything of value on these occasions, One day in November Paul d'Entre- mont saw a vessel entering the har- bor, and realizing it was a privateer, as his brother Benoni was not due from St. Pierre, Miquelon, he hid a puncheon of molasses, then a valu- able commodity, in the woods and secreted 250 English pounds in the walls of the house, The women had hidden other valuables and the "pi- rates" left empty-handed without making an extensive search, Five days later Captain Benoni, re- turning with a rich cargo, was off Lockeport when he mistook a United States privateer for a friendly fish- erman and had no time to escape after recognizing the craft. The pri- vateer made fast to the Bonaventure, and the commander jumped aboard and told Captain Benoni his vessel was seized as a British ship carry- ing contraband goods, After learning d'Entremont's name and address, the other captain laughed heartily and said: \ "Why, I was at your home just a few days ago and found the folks all well, but found the house pretty d-- PHONE 22 For Your Drug Needs THOMPSON'S 10 Simcoe St. 8.--~We Deliver bare of valuables, although by the of things, you must be quite ble; but we did not have time to stop long, being anxious to catch you." Later he said: "Well, never mind, Captain d'Entremont, Being polite, like Frenchmen are, 1 am sure that you are glad you met us, so as to repay for our empty visit to your home." Turning to his own men, he add- ed: "Some of you men aboard this fine vessel. About this old crew! Well, I gues we'll keep their pilot; the rest might as well go overboard and Jet them get ashore as best they 'can. The privateer sailed away and the new crew of the Bonaventure, after coming nearer to shore, threw Cap- tain d Entremont and his men over- board, retaining pilot Kinney. They all reached shore safely, and made their way to the village of Locke- port. That night there was a calm and Captain Benoni, noting the Bona- venture had anchored two miles off shore, determined to regain his ship, He conceived a scheme, so daring that only two men, John Lock and another named Kinney, a brother ot the pilot, would volunteer their ser- vices. The three men, each armed with a loaded gun, chose a light dory with muffied oars and thole-pins and crept up on the Bonaventure. Neo one was on deck. They climbed a- board and then made enough noise for ten times their number. Captain d'Entremont jumped to the compan- ion-way and ordered all below to surrender, He saw what he had ex- pected to find: the entire crew, ex- cepting pilot Kinney, were glorious- ly drunk with the choice liquors found on the Bonaventure, Upon hearing the noise and firing, they cried for mercy and were easily dis- armed. The privateer crew continued to be bluffed regarding the number of invaders, and with the help of a light bréeze the Bonaventure was worked into Lockeport, The people there were anxious as to the fate of Captain Benoni and his men when they saw the schooner with the dory trailing astern, thinking the "pirates" might have killed the three mari- ners and returned to inflict their vengeance on the villagers, but jubilk ation succeeded anxiety when the true situation became known. The gallant three received an enthusiastic reception, The twelve prisoners, sullen and ashamed, passed through a gauntlet of jeers to the magistrate and were given an hour to leave the district.

Dainty Agnes Franey is climbing; helped by clever dancing and seldom equalled beauty. Miss Franey says "I don't believe in overlooking anything which helps add to your attractiveness. I am most particular about my hair and so many friends compliment me on its softness and lustre that I am sure my method of caring for it is right, Nearly all the girls I know here in New York are using it, now. It is so easy. All we do is put a little Danderine on our brushes each time we dress our hair. It makes my hair easy to dress and holds it in place wonderfully. It has gotten rid of my dandruff. It keeps my hair and scalp so comfortable, that I don't shampoo half as often as I did before. And, best of all, it gives my hair a softer, more silky and lus- trous apearance than anything I've ever found." Danderine qui~kly rethoves that oily film from your hair; brings out its natural color, makes it fairly sparkle! Dandruff usually disappears when you use Dander- ine. Waves, "set" with it, stay in longer. It's delicately fragranced; isn't oily; doesn't show, It's econ- omical.

No private company could be ev- pected to take the risk involved with- out the cargo being insured, Com- missioner Brown said, and added that until several shipments had been made the insurance companies would have no facts on which toy base their rates. Women Selected By Liberal And Labor Parties in N. Lanarl: London, Mar, 2--In the by-clection contest in North Lanark, there is a strong feminine interest as one mere man is being opposed by two wo- men, Both the Liberal and Labor parties have sclected a woman to attempt to wrest the scat from the Conservatives, The government candidate is Lord Scone, the 28-year-old heir of the Earl of Mansfield. He is opposed by Miss Elizabeth Buchanan Mit- chell, M.A., Liberal, and Miss Jenny Lee, Labor, a youthful school teacher Miss Mitchell is an able speaker .and has a clear, pleasant voice, In lan interview, she said, "Tell Lord !

It was officially stated last night that the King had pass- ed a quiet day. The. artificial sunlight treat- ment was applied yesterday by a ray therapy expert. The fact that Lord Dawson of Penn, one of the King's chief physicians, has not yet made arrangements for his next visit to Craigwell House is taken as an indication that the King's doctors are satisfied with the progress their patient is mak- ing. Chinese Covernment Protests to Japan Livernool, N.S, Mar, 2--=When the Swedish steamer Minna, of Trelle- borg, arrived at Boston recently with a twenty-six year old Chinese stow- away from Manzanillo, Cuba, the im- migration authorities at the Massa- chusetts port held him for three days and then re-placed him on the Min- na, ruling that he could not enter the United States and that the Swedish steamer must take him away with her, So when the Minna arrived here, from Boston to load pulp, the Chinamen was still aboard, a non- paying but working passenger. Cap- tain D, Julin, commanding the Minna, expects to return to Cuba at some indefinite time, but until he does. the touring Celestial apparent- ly must remain with him, excepting the time spent in American ports, when immigration officials will look after him, The next destination of the Minna was New York. Ellis Is- land officials will probably act as host on this occasion, until the steamer and the wandering Chinaman quit the port.

The rural villagers will be allowed a year in which to discard the flowing 'turban and the tradi- tional colorful cloak, ; The Shah believes a uniform dress is conductive to patriotism and, inci- dentally, he wants his subjects to look like westerners. The bill was rushed through Parliament while Afghanistan is still in the grip of revolution, due to former King Amanullah's introduction of western dress and customs, Only a few deputies dared oppose the bill, although many suspected that Russian influence was behind the move. Riza Khan, however, took the precaution to appease the clergy by exempting ministers of religion and theological students from wear- ing the peaked hat. FIRE CHIEF CLAIMS TORONTO SKYSCRAPERS ARE NOT PROTECTED Toronto, Mar, 2.--Tall buildings are not adequately protected from danger of fire and it is a marvel that more damage has not been done to skyscrapers before they were com- pleted, Fire Chief Russell told the civic property committee, The committee approved a proposal by the chief that stricter regulations be enforced to protect such buildings in the course of construction, There are now no regulations to ensure a supply of water to upper floors of such buildings, he said, and it be- hooves the city to take every pre caution against heavy property losses which may eventuate, He declared that the city had been pretty lucky not to have had to deal with bad fires in skyscrapers while they were being built, If you make money at poker, that's gambing; if you make it at bridge, that's a social duty; if you make it outguessing Wall street, that's a miracle.--Washington Post Any MAJESTIC can be bought convenient Model 72 $293.25 COMPLETE!
