S. to Sell Island Once Pirate's Haunt Washington.—The successful bidder for the Gasparilla Island military reservation, located near the entrance to Charlotte harbor, in Lee county, Florida, recently offered for sale by *he War department, will be the pos sessor of a real pirate’s lair. Whether he will find pirate treasure hidden away in a cave or buried leagues be low the surface is another matter. When the department first an nounced that sealed bids had been asked for the 532-acre reservation on the island, which is no longer needed tor military purposes, the fact that the island had been named for the pirate Gasparilla was overlooked. The exploits of Gasparilla along the Flor hla coast played an important role in 'he romantic history of the state. It is that the island was the favorite treasure-hiding stronghold of Gas parilla. i llie reservation is well below the r lost I'"® and semi-tropical climatic ?■ omlitions prevail throughout the year. | ' section was the base of opera tion- during the Indian war of 1835- « 1 - and was an important military ’Aiitor during the Everglades cam paign. .ver Ledge Cl&ims 1 io Problem Is Solved J-"mlon.

Fluke, thirty, whose Indian stoicism caused him to serve five years in the Oklahoma penitentiary for a murder he did not commit, was pardoned by Gov. M. E. Trapp. Fluke, a quarter blood Indian, was charged with the ; murder at Vinita of Harold Fry, a mail carrier, whose charred body was : found In a partly burned haystack ten days after he disappeared in 1921. Fry’s motor car was located In pos ; session of Fluke. The latter was ar -1 rested, but refused to talk. At his trial Fluke played the part of a silent observer, declined to testify and was convicted. He entered the peniten tiary under life sentence. Two years later Fluke made a state ment accusing Levi Jenkins, Indian youth, of the killing. According to Fluke, he was in a motor party which included Fry and Jenkins. Fry re sented a remark Jenkins made about a young woman. A quarrel followed, in which Fry was killed. Jenkins was arrested and convicted of the slaying. He went to the peni tentiary in 1923, but Fluke stayed on, too. The attorney general reported to the governor that Fluke’s only erime ap parently was In aiding Jenkins to escape. In pardoning him the governor said he believed he had been pun ished sufficiently for the lesser offense. Without Food 44 Days, Quits Cage a Wreck Berlin. Herr Jolly, professional faster, established a record of 44 days of abstention from food and was helped out of his glass cage, a phys ical wreck.

What 3 O \ears of Cooking taught Mrs. Roreij about Stoves ! l tB? Mrs. Sarah Tyson Rorer Philadelphia Cooking Expert . 44 T PREFER oil stoves to any other I kind. I speak from the fullness mKu M os 30 years' experience with them. Oil is clean, economical, and dependable. It saves a world of work. No coal or wood to carry in, no ashes to carry out. And no dust. “I have just completed a special experiment on the 1926 model Perfection Oil Stove, test ing it under all possible cooking conditions. I cooked many meals in my own kitchen. Every dish was deliciously cooked. Immediate Cooking “Steak began to broil and my molasses cake began to rise almost as soon as I lighted the burners. There was no waiting for the heat to ‘come up.* “The bottom of every utensil used in the experiment was as clean as a china dish. No scouring was necessary. Those long Perfec tion chimneys certainly are in surance against sooty kettles. All at the Same Time “I cooked many things at once. For boiling beef I used a very low flame. I French-fried po tatoes over a hot flame with yellow tips about 1% inches high above the blue area. I cooked white sauce over a medium flame. “I used all grades of heat at the same time satisfactorily.
