twas only beginning" Regarding the
Nicaragua canal, Mr.. Carnegie said:
II think it would be a mistake from
every point of view to try to make
the Nicaragua canal. If we want
canal what we should do is to make
an arrangement with Colombia and
buy up the Panama canal, which
could be had / believe for S34. 900. 900,

600. think most of the longest heads
in the republic are very glad indeed
that the treaty ended as it did. One
thing is settled, however, if ever the
canal is built by United States gov
ernment money it will be an American
canal"

In memory of Elmer c. Jones, who

BY David +. Holllngsworth.
When in the silence of the night,
The stars we're sending forth their
light;
Would not the heart be grieved to
hear
The doleful sound that met our ear.
The cars came rushing swiftly on,
While at his post an only son
Stood firm in maNliness and youth,
Honor,rstamped on mis- brew, and
truth.
In blooming health twas there he
stood, =
In his glory and true maahoo1;
The fatal shock to him Wa&Rlyen,
And by the crash his lifssRas rvcn
While we look en- his noble brow,
Death is standing between US now.
o father dear, bowed down with
@ mother, canst thou find relief?
So sudden was the stroke that came
1t filled the heart with grief and
pain.
The soft breezes that gently blow,
Will dim rays o oer your sorrows
throw.
The joy, the light, from home was
gone,
When taken was our only son:
None but our Father in such grief
Can sooth the heart or bring relief.
With awe his comrades by him stand,
Bring floral offerings in their hand;
OF such with love they freely give,
O could their friend and brother
live.
One chance for him was thought to
be,
+ His life was sweet-take it said he
TO this brave man it was not given,
lie pass ed from earth to home ana
heaven.
His many friends will mourn his LOST
Life holds for us an earthly cross
While on the bright celestial shora
lie rests in peace forevermore.
