Origin of Hocking Chairs
The origin of rocking chairs is pot
known but it is definitely believed
to be American They are known
to have been in use in the United
States since 1774 and are referred
to in a handwritten bill from Wil-
liam Savery cabinet maker of Phil-
adelphia February 11 1774 How-
ever they were not known in Eu-
rope until much later Tradition
ascribes the first rocking chair to
Benjamin Franklin but the invention
is not mentioned in any of his writ-
ings He possessed a very re-
markable one wlich was described
by a visitor in 17S7
Virgin Islanders Swayed
By Ghost of Blackbeard
In the Islands once inhabited by
privateers and buccaneers live
myths and tales vastly more enter-
taining than the stories that were
left in the wake of the European
conquerors In our American Vir-
gin islands group the Isle of St
Thomas was the home of two such
pirates Blackbeard and Bluebeard
not to be confused with the Blue-
beard of the French legend Stand-
ing are the relics of their reigns
two silolike castles eerie and inter-
esting relates Anson Brown in the
Chicago Tribune
Each castle is a perfect cylinder
about SO feet high and 20 feet in
diameter They stand atop separate
hills that help make up the city of
Charlotte Amalie and the gayly col-
ored roof tops of the homes straggle
down the hills from their founda-
tions Picturesque in the warm sun-
light of the day but when the full
moon picks itself up out of the ocean
at night and casts shadows among
the loose bricks of the castles the
Negroes shudder in their homes
They are almost morbidly super-
stitious these black people They
board up their windows at night to
keep out the jumby ghosts and sleep
without a breath of air filtering
through their rooms On the night
when the moon is full Edward
Teach the Blackbeard is said to
come down from his castle and
roam the water front Black chil-
dren of the Virgin islands fear his
ghost more than American children
fear the bogle man for they actually
can sec where he lives
Of the two pirates Blackbeard Is
reputed to have been the fiercer
He was born of good parents in
Jamaica about 1670 and was soon
proud of the fact that people re-
ferred to him as the black sheep
Bitterly heartless and cruel he
gradually altered his appearance by
growing a long black beard which
he braided in strands and decorat-
ed with pink and blue ribbons
He set out to sea with other free-
booters und by sheer force of his
fearless personality was soon ruling
the Caribbean waters He plundered
ruthlessly any merchant vessel that
crossed his path He locked up an
astounding fortune somewhere with-
in the confines of his castle on St
Thomas
niS DAILY DOZEN
He decided that he was getting
much too fat so he made up his
mind to call on his doctor for ad-
vice
The doctor heard him out and
then said solemnly
There Is Just one thing for you
exercise I
But doctor ho cried you
know that I hate exercise
Thegdoctor nodded This one
Isnt very tiring he eald Its
simply a matter of shaking your
head slowly from side to side
The patient cheered up consider-
ably How often do I have to da
It he asked
Every tune anyone offers you a
drink said the doctor
