The next year he was captured by the English and he and his crew were slain. Busy legend puts his share of Ce Island gold at $20,000,000. During the wars between Chili and Peru, which raged about the midd of the last century, whenever one party seemed to be getting the worst of it, a flying squadren apparently was despatched to Cocos Island with all portable wealth, and another por- tion of the island was dug up and planted with gold and silver, Why they never came back for it nobody xeems to know—either they forgot where it was buried or they killed each other off too fast, perhaps, But the total buried weultn at Cocos Is- lund has been estimated at $60, 0,000.

Song is a Broadway business to- day. A composer doesn’t have to know music or Engtish so long as he adds up his royalties, The only scale you have to learn is the scale of prices which begins with dough and ends with dough and has a range from thirty cents a copy up. The jazz boys are working fast these days, They grind out music like Carter grinds out pills, There's a sucker born every minute, and so SONG WRITERS COULD QUALIFY WITH THEM IT’S JUST ONE DARN NOTE AFTER ANOTHER, ja a song success. The average life of @ popular song is three months: it's sure to be murdered by then. The modern song writers are like a Democratic Administration— they're always strong for the South, For every bale of cotton raised down South there's a bale of Dixie sheet muste sold in New York, And there is no boll weevil to kill the songs. The only pests that ever ‘ouch “em are the amateur vocalists. The average song writer has never been south of the Jersey ferry, slips, but that trifle never affects his style. Any almanac will tell you that the moon shines south of the Potomac, and that’s all you need to know. Dante wrote the “Inferno” without making a trip to assemble his copy, so why should a song writer care?
