The outlook for the passage of the
Hepburn Nicaragua canal at this
session of congress appears to be
brighter than ever. They mere fact
that Great Britain claims that full
American control of the canal is a

The question is where will Dan
Burns get off. The indications are
that Irving M. Scott, the famous
shipbuilder, or Gen. W. HI. L. Barnes,

Dole to be on the safe side and
obtain his approval, after the snub-
bing he received in the land matter.
Now go ahead boys, and don't leave
a dollar in the Treasury. Never
mind the watch dog.

ton. whose branch office Is connected
with the hotel bar by trolley. Che scene
of the act is laid in Arizona, not Vermont

laugh was infectious and, indeed, his
laughing song was one of the hits Of the
evening. The others in the large cast
helped materially towards the success of
the play while among the specialtes the

THE SHOPPING INSTINCT.
Woman Paid Ten Cents in Car Fare to
Save Two Cents

An instance of the remarkable degree OF
development of the shopping instinct in
some women was brought to notice yes
terday in the northern part Of the city. a
well dressed woman entered a drug store
and called for n 2-cent package OF Ripans
Tabules She threw down quarter which
the druggist put away and recorded in has
cash register The lady stood there and
upon seeing the druggist turn to go to the
back room called him back.
Have you forgotten the changer? she
asked.
Didn't you hand me quarter?"
Yes, hut this package sells for % cents
does it not?"
NO, madam, twenty-five.
Now, see here, l can get this same are
ticle for % cents down street"
The druggist returned her money and
took back his article. This same lady
waited upon the corner for a street car
which she boarded for down street" to
buy that article for two cents less appar-
emily never thinking that it cost her ten
cents car fare TO get there and back
