Preserving the Balance.

Old Capt. Stanley, who lives down in
the middle of Kentucky, was good old
Hardshell Baptist, who would OCCASION
ally tell a story at the expense of some
of the brethren. Many years ago they
were not SO conspicuously orthodox on
the temperance question as they are in
our time. lon one occasion, said the
Captain, "the brethren down in my
region were about to have a grand
church gathering, and all the faithful in
the neighborhood were expected to ex-
ert themselves to entertain suitably and
Hospitality the visiting brethren. Two
of my neighbors met each other just
before the grand gathering, one of whom
said
"'What are you going to do?'
Well, replied the man, Eve laid in
a gallon of first-rate whisky
"a gallon retorted his neighbor,
with look of contempt; why, I've got
a barrel; and you are just rs able to sup
port the Gospel as l am.
In those days you could always tell q
Hardshell by looking at him from be-
hind; one OF the skirts of his coat would
hang lower than the other-the one in
which he carried his bottle. But the
Captain said there was one old brother
down there whose UNCONVENTIONAL views
couldn't be ascertained in that way; his
skirts hung even-a bottle in each pbck-

No New Thing.

The idea of the cutting of the Isthmus
of Panama does not date from yesterday.
In 1928 Portuguese navigator, Antonio
Galvao, proposed to Charles V. to make
an interoceanic communication. In 1870
Nelson proposed canal through Near
aqua. Won Humboldt took up the
project in 1904. In 1841 Reny de puydt
took colony to Honduras to dig canal
there. Two years later Gavella and
Courtines were sent out by Guizot to
study the question they pronounced
against the possibility of the enterprise.
In 1912 the Government Of Nicaragua
asked Louis Napoleon Bonaparte to lend
his name to the enterprise. After his
escape from Ham Louis Napoleon did
appeal to the public for funds in a pam
phlet, lie Canal dc Nicaragua, but the
project fell through.
