MUST CONSTRUCT THE
 NICARAGUA CANAL.
President McKiniey's Message to Congress
 Will Urge That the Canal He Built Under Government Directions.

New York, Nov. S.--A dispatch to The Herald from Washington says:
 ln President McKinley's message to congress will be a very strong and urg. ent appeal for immediate legislative ac- tlon Tor the construction of the Nicar- aguan canal under government direc- tlon. The president will point out that our new connections in the Pacific and Ill the West Indies make it imperative for the United States to build and con- trol the great international waterway, and delay beyond the present congress Ill authorizing its construction will Jeopardize the chance for American con trol in the future.
 President Mckinley fully appreciates the difficulties i'll the way of securing prompt action, but he and other canal advocates also appreciate that failure this year may mean permanent failure Hence preparations are going forward for one of the most bitter fights ever waged i'll the interest of the canal.
 Action of the Nicaraguan government In granting new concession for the construction of the canal conditional upon the forfeiture Of the contract with the Maritime Canal company, i'll October next, has added new complications to the difficulties in the way of legislation. The authorities consider that it adds an- other element Of opposition to prompt action on the pending Morgan bill, which contemplates the construction of the canal under government direction the Maritime Canal company The Mor- gan bill in all of its essential features is understood to have the indorsement of the administration. IL is supposed that new company is inimical to the Maritime company. 1t is assum ed if it does not succeed i'll selling out to the concession. aires it will exert its influence to pre- vent action by congress this winter i'll order that it's own contract may go into effect next October.
 Besides opposition from this new eom- pany, friends of the Morgan bill will have the powerful Huntington and Pan anna canal interests arrayed against them. Friends of tho latter party al already ill Washington preparing for a campaign against the Nicaraguan canal.
 J. L. Morgan is to be factor in the coming legislature war. It is stated |, made an arrangement with President zelaya to look after the interests of Nicaragua in this country.

PERSONAL MAGNETISM.

The old house hasn't seen day of such excite
ment since
That baby was enthroned a monarch there.
His wish was more respected far than that of
any prince,
And news of him was listened to with care.
OF course there was excitement when his moth
er told rs all
That for his father he in language plain,
Had several times, with earnest emphasis, been
heard to call
And that doubtless he would do it soon again.
His mother and his father and his uncle and
his aunt
And the hired girl and the farmhands gath
cred round.
You'd have thought a famous tenor had ar
rived to lead a chant
By the way they stood and listened for the
sound.
They watched his face for symptoms of an in
tellectual start.
No oracle was ever more revered
And when he smiled and spoke his mother
held him to her heart,
And his father and the hired men whooped
and cheered.
The years have passed above him. Hes grown
up patriot now
He lectures to the masses oft and long.
Success has sometimes paused to place laurel
on his brow,
And his mental grasp is wonderfully strong,
But he cannot hold an audience in a still, ex-
pectant spell,
Though he's been speaker since he was a
lad,
AS he did when, in the cradle long ago, ne
couldn't tell
A thing we didn't know, but just said
''Dadi'

TWO WAYS OF LOOKING.
If All Saw Things Alike, This Would BE
an Uninteresting World.

If All Saw Things Alike, This Would Be
an Uninteresting World.
cit is pity that more of us cannot
cultivate the twofold way of looking at
things, writes Edward W. Box in The
Ladies' Home Journal. ''There would
be less friction in life if we did, and
sweeter sympathy, kinder understand
ing and broader and fuller living. The
fact is that we never reach the dignity
of true living unless we do learn this
all important lesson. And that it may
be cultivated admits of no doubt. 1t is
simply question of schooling ourselves
not to condemn generally what indi-
vidually does not happen to be to our
taste. If, for example, we prefer brown
as a color, there is no reason on earth
why we should condemn the taste of
any one who preferred to wear green.
What the vast majority of us need is to
be little more self poised, more judi
cial, more willing to see good in the
tastes of others, although they do not
please our own particular fancies. 1t we
all thought alike. read the same books,
saw the same plays, wore the same col
ors, this would be an exceedingly unin-
teresting world.
eve cannot see all things in the
same way, but we can come near to
justice and true respect by taking two
fold view of things while still retaining
our strong individual views. Seeing a
possible good or use for everything does
not necessarily mean weak indiyidu-
atty. The most uncomfortable people
in the world are those who assert their
judgments in hard, decisive and final
manner, as if they were courts Of last
resort On the other hand, the bright
est and best minds are those that have
most respect for the opinions of others.

sailors on 80 cents a day. Just think of

tell you. There is man who does odd
jobs around our house, and the other
day he informed my wife that he was
going to move and gave her his new ad-
dress
about 8 o'clock I was strolling
along the street when 1 met my man
and his wife and their 14-year-old boy.
The man had clock under his right
arm, picture in his left hand and a
roll of bedclothing strapped on his
back. His wife carried large basket
filed with crockery and a small roll of
carpet. The boy brought up the rear
with two chairs and dishpan. Hotter

of flour. The man told my wife that he
had to borrow pushcart to move his

added to the charm of certain remarka-
Bile women. Mary Stuart was Al at the
time she was beheaded, yet she used
her irresistible powers of fascination
through all her imprisonments and up
to the very last act of the tragedy.
Froude, it is true, insists on certain I'M
romantic details, such as the wearing
of a wig by the queen ON the day of ex-
ecution, but what are wigs when

fascination? 1t was true that Mary was
no special favorite with her own sex,
nor does sic nowadays inspire any dis
interested enthusiasm among women.
No; Mary Stuart was "a mans wom-

her death. The army of her masculine
admirers is legion, and the books that
they have written in her cause form
literature in themselves. The queen of
Scots died young and fascinating at AZ,

OUR DEBT TO BUMBLEBEEs.
The Part These Busy Workers Play In the
Fertilization of Flowers.

Barney Hoskin Standish writes an
article on 1.-THE Bumblebee" for St.
Nicholas. Mr.. Standish says: The work
of the bumblebee in bringing about the
cross fertilization of flowers is as i'm
portant as thG& of the honeybee, and
these two stand at the head Of the list
of insects useful in this respect. Each
has it's flowers which it alone visits,
but there are many flowers on neutral
ground visited by both. So we may
say of the bumblebee, as of the honey
bee, the more bumblebees the more
seeds; the more seeds the more flowers
especially wild flowers, as the tall
bellfower, touch me not, Solomon S seal,
gentian, Dutchmen's breeches and tur-
tie head. But probably the most impor-
tant work this insect does for agricul-
ture is upon the fields of red clover
There is abundant proof that this plant
will not produce seed without the CO.
operation of the bumblebee. 1t is i'm
possible for the wind to bring about the
fertilization of the seed, as it may do
in the case of Indian corn, grain and
some forest trees. The tube of red clo-
yer blossoms, too, is so long that other
insects (including the honeybee) are
not regular visitants
Here is proof that this plant must
have visits from the bumblebee. This
insect is not native of Australia, and
until bumblebees were imported. AS
soon as they became numerous the plant
could be depended upon for seed.
Again, the blossoms Of the first crop Of
the Medium Red clover of our own
country are just as perfect as those of
the second crop, but there are too few
bumblebees in the field, so early in the
season, to produce fertilization, hence
little or no seed in this crop. If humble
bees were sufficiently numerous, there
is no reason why much larger yields of
clover seed might not be expected than
at present.
Here is what we'll informed farmer
says about it:
SIT was formerly thought that the
world rested on the shoulders of Atlas
I can prove that its prosperity rests on
the bumblebee. The world cannot pros
per without the farmers product. The
farm will not be productive without
clover. We cannot raise clover without
seed, and we cannot have clover seed
without the bumblebee, because it is
this insect that carries the pollen from
flower to flower, securing it's develop
ment and continuance Let us learn to
know and to protect our friends
