that Unless geographical considerations
interfere Mr. Trip will be one of the
new commission.
He was formerly United States min
lister to Vienna and later represented
the United States on the Samoan com
mission.
Incidentally the fact is pointed out
that the English and Germans connect-
ed with the Samoan negotiations have
been rewarded by their respective gov
ernments for their endeavors and the
appointment of Mr.. Trip as Philippine
commissioner might be regarded as a
similar manifestation of approval by
our government.

A Famous Doctors Savings.

A medical friend of the late Sir
James Paget tells of the great ply
sician's concern for the little things
associated with the surgical art. Lit
tie things mean a great deal to a sick
man." he used to say, and illustrate
the axiom by an experience. Once he
operated on a man at St. BartholC-
news for an aneurism. The recovery
depended upon perfect rest of the
body. The nurse complied with the
patients request for a biscuit; crumb
got into the bed, caused the man to
move, the ligature slipped, and the
man died. THAT crumb killed the
man." Sir James declared. Another
of Dir. Paget's quaint sayings is report
ed: ''All habits are bad. even good
ones" The seeming paradox was ut
tered in connection with the attempt
ed cure of one of Sir James patients,
who was a victim to the drink habit.
Il am in the habit of drinking several
Scotch whiskies a day-you won't stop
everything, will you?-it's so difficult
to break a habit" was the plaintive
appeal which provoked the remark

to lift itself from Jim's heart as he
burst out of the house. He opened Ike's
door without knocking. The man sat
by the empty fireplace with his head
bowed over the ashes.

Ike raised his head and glanced at
him with look Of dull despair. 'She's
gone," he replied; "'Tildy's gone"
There was no touch of anger in his
tone. 1t was as if he took the visit for
granted. All petty emotions had passed
away before this great feeling which
touched both earth and the beyond.

gered up TO g crowd which was sur
rounding his rival and said in a loud
voice: James Johnsonham, Jr.-
how does that strike you?"
ANY bettah than Isaac johnson,
Jr.?' asked some one, slapping g
the happy Ike on the shoulder as the
crowd burst into loud guffaw. Jim's
head was sadly bemuddled, and for a
time he gazed upon the faces about
him in bewilderment. Then light
broke in upon his mind, and with a
''Whoo-ee!" he said: ''No!'' Ike
grinned defiant grin at him, and led
the way to the nearest place where he
and his friends might celebrate.
Jim went home to his wife full of a
sullen, heavy anger. ''Ike johnson got
boy at his house, too," he said, IAN he
done put Junior to his name." Martha
raised her head from the pillow and
hugged her own baby to her breast
closer.
''It do beat ALL" she made answer,
airily; "we can't do blessed thing but

She was right; Matilda Benson was
not so strong. The doctor went oftener
to Ike's house than he had gone to
Jim's, and three or four days after an
undertaken went in.
They tried to keep the news from
Martha's ears, but somehow it leaked
into them, and when Jim came home
on that evening she looked into her
husbands face with a strange, new eX-
preston.
"Oh, Jim," she cried, weakly, "'Til-

''Nev' min'," said Jim, husl1ily; 'nev'

when the messenger had come for him

was like a knife at his heart.

THE OLD DAeuERREoTYPes.

cedar chest,
Where the fowered gowns lie folded, which

And, like the queer old jackets and the
wajstcoat gay with stripes,

dagUerreotypes.

tiny hook,
Seemingly made 10 tempt one to lift up the

CircHag the faded faces brought from the

Grandpa and grandma, taken ever so long

Mother. a tiny toddler, with rings on her
baby hands
Painted-lest none should notice-in gilt
terilg, gilded bands,
Aunts and uncles and cousins, a starchy
and stiff array,
Lovers and brides, then blooming, but now
so wrink.ed and gray
Out through the misty glasses they gaze
at me, sitting here
Opening the quaint old cases with a smile
that is half tear.
L will smile no more, little pictures. for
heartless it was, in truth,
To drag to the cruel daylight these ghosts
of vanished youth.

And dream, mid their bygone graces, of

GREAT BRITAIN cEDEs HER RIGHT!
Will Have No Voice in Nicaragua Canal
Affairs.

WASHINGTON, D. G. (SpeciaD THE United
States aud Great Britain have reached al
amicable agreement respecting the opera
tions Of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty as af'
fecting the right OF construction and con-
troll by the United States OF the proposed
Nicaragua Canal.
The result marks the termination OF con-
ferences between the officials OF the State
Department and Lord Pauncefots OF fully
a years duration.
Great Britain agrees to a modification Of
the eClayton-Gulwer treaty, by which she
practically relinquishes any claims re-
specting q dual control OF the Nicaragua
Canal after 1t shall have been constructed.
The result, therefore, is to eliminate that
feature of the treaty bearing on the sub
ject OF dual control and to leave the United
States free to construct and thereafter con.
troll this great interoceanic waterway.
