FILLED Up on Green Corn.

Congressman Joe" Cannon of Him
OILS is a man of strong likes and dis
likes, and never does anything by
halves. In the list of his likings, so far
as culinary matters are concerned, his
fondness for green corn takes first
rank and on this score he tells good
story at his own expense, relates the
Saturday Evening Post.
After a long sojourn in Washington
he returned home and started out to
look after his political fences in his
district At a small village hotel, where
he stopped for dinner. a scanty plate of
fine roasting ears was placed before
him as a side dish. Immediately he
abandoned the main bill of fare and
applied himself exclusively to the green
corn. When the plate was depleted he
called for more roasting ears, and con-
tinued his feast until he had made his
entire meal from the staple product of
the Illinois prairies. The hotel keeper
noticed the array of cobs stacked upon
the plate of the tall politician, whose
identity was unknown to him, and
said:
Say, stranger, what in thunder do
you want to board at a hotel for? The
place for you to put UP at is livery
stable Don't you know green fodder is
a dunn sight cheaper in a barn than in
a house?"
During the remainder of the cam
paign Congressman Cannon retailed
this story to his constituents-and
turned it to good account among the
corn proIyers

THE IsrHNIAN TROUBLE.

The Colombian government is COM
planning because our naval forces al
Colon and Panama refuse to let IL
carry troops over the Panama railway
Thus far our government has endeav-
ored to avoid taking sides with either
party to the war, and it is probable
that it is for the purpose of upholding
that policy that it has seen fit to re-
fuse the Colombian government per-
mission TO transport troops over the
railway. II is bound by treaty to keep
/ the railway free for traffic. and if it
should permit the Colombians to use 1t
for the transportation of troops, the
! probabilities are that IL would not be
many days before traffic would be in
terfered with. The insurgents would
tear up the track or burn bridges to
! hinder the government in getting
troops from one point to another.
1t seems to be little curious that
notwithstanding the fact that the area
of Colombia is immense the contending
forces persist in fighting their battles
along the line of the Panama railway.
There are other places where they
could fight just as we'll.
1t looks as if there were purpose
on one side or the other to bring about
a condition of affairs that would call
for the Intervention of this country. Of
course our government isn't going to
Intervene if it can avoid doing so, I'M
less requested by both parties, but it
may have to take very radical step
in order to carry out its treaty obliga-
tions-that is. the obligations which re-
quire it to keep the railway open to
traffic.
1t does seem of course as if the Co
lombian government ought to have the
right to transport troops over the road
1t has sovereignty over the territory
through Which the road runs ana Il has
a money interest in the road to the
extent of a good many thousands of
dollars yearly. 1t may therefore be-
come ugly towards this government if
the right to transport troops over the
road continues to be denied.
European governments are watching
the situation on the isthmus closely.
If our government should intervene
without being requested to do so by
the contendinG parties, Europe might
take it as meaning that we intended
to grab some of Colombia's territory,
and it might attempt to take possession
of territory. In that event we might
find ourselves involved in a very un-
pleasant complication with one or more
of the nations of Europe. 1t would
not be surprising, however, If we should
have to deal with the situation on the
isthmus with a strong hand before the
trouble is ended. The contending par
ties seem to be pretty evenly matched,
in the matter of strength, and the war
may drag along for months if we do
not do something to put an end to it.

Like Some older People.

Children are always ready enough to
emulate their parents zeal, but sell
dom so willing to copy their discre-
ton. A certain Episcopal bishop has
a 4-year old daughter, who. says the
Chicago Chronicle, has inherited much
of her fathers force Of character, and
is already a. stanch and aggressive
churchwoman.
The other day the family entertained
some friends from Denver. In the
visiting family there was a little girl
of the same age as the bishops child.
Her parents were Presbyterians. II
was proposed that the two little girls
share the same bed, and, bedtime COM
ing, they knelt down to say their pray
ers together.
When the little Euiscopalian was
saying, Forgive us our trespasses,"
she heard her companion pray, For
give US our debts" and she said,
sharply:
It's 'trespasses!'
mo. it amt" said the Denver Cal
whist. It's debts.
"Tresspasses!"
"Debts!'
'"Trespasses!"
"Debts!"
Out flew a chubby Episcopalian fist
and struck a Presbyterian eye. There
was a mix up Immediately.
Nov. it's trespasses, amt it?'
mo" said the other stoutly. TITS
debts But peace was restored, and
the two consented to go on with the
prayer.
When they came 10 the end the lit
tie Presbyterian said Amen" giving
the fiat "a of the dissenters, while the
little Epscopalian intoned "Ah- men, $
with the broad sound of the first VOW
ell.
+ Amen" repeated the Presbyterian.
"Ah-men.' said the Episcopalian,
with conviction.
They were only saved from another
encounter by being bundled into bed.
When the door was closed upon them
each was still maintaining her idea of
accommodation
