temperance lecturer from Boston was
travelling westward over the Santa Fe, and
whenever he met any of the other passen-
gers he soon commenced to talk temper
ance, says the Topeka State Journal.
Soon after leaving Kansas City the lee
turer fell in with a resident nf Western
Kansas.
This is Kansas" remarked the native
of the land of the sunny skies.
so we have left the clutches of the
liquor men and are now travelling in a civ
ilized state, where prohibition is in force, ,"
said the lecturer
Yes" remarked the Kansas man, I'VE
drink nothing but water"
Il should like to taste some Kansas
water said the man, whose aim was to
promote total abstinence.
Il viii get you some at the first stop We
make. This on the train is Missouri wa
ter, taken on at Kansas City" said the
man.
When Topeka was reached the Kansas
man said he would get off and get some
genuine Kansas water. The Kansas man
got Off and as soon as he left the seat
with the man who longed only for mild
drinks, his mind wandered 10 thoughts of
treason against his unsuspecting lecturer
Yes, it would be SO easy to pour the tin
cup third full of whisky, He got the
wafer and poured in good allowance of
liquor, 10 years old. he took the water"
in TO the lecturer.
Here a drink of Adams ale brewed in
Kansas" he remarked as he handed IL to
the thirsty man
The temperance lecturer took it, put the
cup TO his lips and drained the contents
without removing it, When he was
through he handed the cup back and
smacked his lips
Il have heard that Kansas water is sat
urated with alkali,' said The Eastern man.

At Camp Thomas, Chickamauga, soon af-

He informed them that they would have

1t soon came the colonel's time at the bat

The Canal Project.

It may be regarded as almost certain
that Congress viii guarantee the Nicara-
qua canal bonds to the amount Of $780,
100000 or more. and that the construction
of the canal will be prosecuted with great
vigor at no very distant day.
If it had not been for the war with Spain
the prospects for the canal would not be
nearly so bright as they are. The oppO-
sition TO the government guaranteeing so
large an amount of the bonds, particularly
as it is the quite general impression that
several million dollars of the bonds are
to go to holders OF the securities of the
Maritime Canal Company, is so strong
that Congress would not have given the
canal scheme the careful consideration
which it now seems disposed to give it,
had it not been for arguments furnished
by the war.
The journey which the batueship Ore
gOn made to reach Key West from San
Francisco called the attention not only
of Congress, but of the whole country, to
the vast benefit which a canal across Nj
caragua would be to this country. The
promoters Of the canal saw the argument
for the building of the canal which the
Oregons voyage furnished, and they have
been using it with good effect. 1t now
looks as if the building Of the canal would
be included in the policy which calls for
the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands
and the holding of all of the territory
which we take from Spain.
One great obstacle which has been in
the way of the canal has been the
doubt about IRIS feasibility. The Ludlow
commission, it is true, reported that it
was feasible, but there were things in the
commissions report which made engin-
GERS Of prominence doubt that it was.
Congress, therefore has hesitated to in
volYe the government in a canal project
to the extent of Sl0oO00.0oO without being
certain that it was feasible.
The Walker commission. which was ap-
pointed a little more than year ago and
which spent a large part of last winter
in Nicaragua making surveys, has not
vet made its report, and will not be ready
to do so for several months, but Admiral
Walker, the chairman of the commission,
was before the Senate committee on the
-NiNeAA q z ball tetidtl q NletA OF Two ago ana
gave 1t as his opinion, based upon reports
of the engineers Of the commission, that
there exists no insurmountable obstacle
to the building of the canal, and that 1t
can be built for $l25OOO,OOO
The Maritime Canal Companys engin-
Ger stated that the canal could be built
for less than 100000, and the Ludlow
commission placed the cost at $13S, Az, 1893.
All of the estimates are doubtless a good
way from the truth. Such works pretty
nearly always cost a great deal more
than the estimates of the engineers. Still,
the Nicaragua canal. at a cost of $500, 600,
900, would be a good investment for the
United States.
Let the thought once get firmly fixed in
the public mind that the canal is feasible
that there is no danger of its being
failure, like the Panama canal-and there
would be no delay in undertaking the
building of it,

The Captain,s Name.

Years ago. says an exchange, as a New
England sea captain was signing a con-
tract at a shipping Office, he was observed
by the official in charge to be writing a
string of names. only sign for yourself
capn," cried the oficer-"not for the
whole crew." The captain grimly pointed
out the heading, Name in FULL" and went
on writing his piece, which, when he had
done the officer, after some trouble in de-
ciphering, found to read thus: Through
Much Tribulatlon- We Enter Into the
Kingdom-of-H Heaven Clapp.' "Wnl you
please to tell me, Capt. Clapp' said he,
what might your mother have called you
in your infancy, to save herself the trouble
of repeating a sermon whenever she had
occasion to name her darling?" "Why,
sir" replied Capt. Clapp, when 1 was
little they used to call me Tribby for
shortness."
