The Commerce OF the lsthmus.

The new republic of Panama has a
valuable commerce with the United
States which is we'll worth looking
after apart from considerations
directly connected with the canal
project
The area of the country is little
over 81 900 square miles and its popu-
lation is about 800. 600. Its principal
town is the city of Panama which has
about 90, 900 Inhabitants. Colon on
tho opposite side of the isthmus is
mnch smaller, having only about g.,
900. These two CITIES are situated at
the ends of the Panama railroad, over
which large traffic passes.
At the TIVE ports something like
|, 900 vessels land every year carrying
in the aggregate 1000, 900 tons of mer.
clandise and 1000 passengers
This is the traffic that goes by way of
the isthmus and which would be enor.
mously increased if the canal were
open. A large percentage of the
traffic between Elrope and the Orient
would go by that route instead of by
way of Suez.
The imports of Panama at the port
of Colon amount annually to about
-, 900, 600 of which the United States
supplies about thirds The ex-
ports to the United States from the
ports of Colon and Panama together
amount to about $370. 600 year:
OF course with the development of the
country both export and import trade
would increase. Denver Republican.

The Tale of a Coat With Tail.
There are tales without coats and

out value as tale. But vest with
a tale is quite possible, such vest
and coat with tails and tales are
the themes of our story. They both
are the property OF Tony West OF
"The Dairy Farm" company which
comes to the Opera house on Thurs
day. Nov. 10. in Canon City, and IN
which Mr. West appears as Joel Whit
beck the pedder and village gossip.
Both the vest and the coat will also
appear in the production sdorning the
person of the aforesaid Joel. The
coat in question was once the property
of the famous English actor Ben De

1t was presented to Mr.. West fifteen
years ago and he retained it on ac-
count of it's history and characteristic
cut 1t was supposed to have been
worn originally by some mcmber of

the coat of arms on the buttons which
have never come off the coat probably
from the fact that they we're riveted

the Ratchet and the tree there was n
tremendous downfall of water one
night-people said it was a cloudburst
and the river rose with frightful ra
pidity. Tommy. now a young man of
twenty-one, was aroused by the shak
ing of the house and the roar of the
torrent. Rushing to the window he dis
covered that the house was completely
surrounded by water and was in mo-
mentary peril of being swept away.
Not n moment was to be lost. He
quickly awakened his father, and they
climbed out upon the roof of the back
porch and gazed upon the flood, which
spread as far as they could see in
the still dim light. There wasn't a
human being or a boat in sight, and
while they were wondering how they
were to escape the house suddenly col
lapsed and both were hurled into the
deep water.
Fortunately father and son were good
swimmers, and side by side they bat
tied with the strong current as it swept
them along. They had been in the
water but a few moments, however,
when Toms father called out that he
had been seized by the deadly swim
mer's cramp.
Uttering cries of encouragement. Tom
swan to his fathers side, and with one
hand caught him as he was sinking.
For a moment or two they struggled
desperately 10 keep afioat, and just as
hope was dying in Toms breast his
free hand struck strong limb.
Quick as flash he grasped it, still
holding his father above the surface of
the flood. The limb bent beneath their
combined weight-bent perilousiy and
alarmingly-but it did not break.
CHANGING up, Tom saw that the current
had carried them beneath his old friend
the hickory-now a thick, tall and pow
erfuI tree.
Exerting all his strength, Tom drew
his father back Until both were cling
ing for dear life to limbs on opposite
sides of the tree, and in n few minute
Tom left the water and was safe. Hi
father soon climbed up beside him.
A few hours later boats came alonf
and Tom and his father were rescued.
''Goodby, dear treer' the father cried.
81 saved you once from a thoughtless
boy, and now you save both him and
me- If you were man and had my
way, there'd be another Old Hickory
in the presidential chaIr!'

Attempts have been made to estab-
fish both species of the sequoia in the
Atlantic states. but without great sue
cess, although they flourish in England.
The species gigantea is not found out
side of California, but the other species
range along the coast from Mexico
northward 1t never exists far from
the coast, and in some regions has driv-
en- out all other timber. In the early
days of California settlement the peo-
pie depended almost entirely upon the
redwood for building purposes.
Two sources are given for the name
sequoia. On the one hand, it is said
to be derived from seoul or sequor,
meaning the followers or remnants of
colossal species now extinct, and on the
other, from a Cherokee half breed
whose Indian name was Sequoyah
The greenhorn traveller or camper in
the forests of the big trees is often an
noyed if not actually placed in danger
by showers of cones, and even of limbs,
from the lofty crowns of the giants
around him. The cones are the size
and weight of an egg and after a fall
of 200 or 300 feet strike with much
force. Says a writer in the Chicago
Times-H Herald: "a day among the big
trees is never to be forgotten. AS you
take that long, slow, winding drive
through the forest the first time that
you visit the grove you watch intently
among the huge frs and yellow pines
and sugar pines for the red shafts of
the big trunks. And when you first see
them, springing up straight and erect
as arrows shot by the earth at heaven,
perhaps you have a vague feeling of
disappointment. But as thy become
more and more frequent you begin to
wonder why no description that you
ever read of them has prepared you for
their majesty and grandeur.
You had expected to find only great
hulks, interesting because of their big
ness, and instead in each tree you see
a live thing of wonderful beauty as
perfect in its proportions as an Ionic
column in Greek temple. bearing with
royal grace and dignity its crown of
leaves and branches and awe inspiring
with its multiplied thousands of years.
Presently you stop testing and laugh
ing with you're companions. you speak
but seldom, your breath comes faster,
and when you drive away you feel as
If you he'd been hearing Wagner op-
era or visiting Westminster abbey"

spokes, barrel hoops and many other
useful things"
'I-I didn't know it was of any usc,''
Tommy said, with a crestfallen air
''Why is it called shagbark?''
1.-The names shagbark and shellbark
are both applied to the hickory of this
variety because the outer bark is rough
and shaggy and peels off in long, mar
row plates. The Indians used the hicl1-
DRY in making their bows and other
implements. and the Indian name 'po-
hickory as you can readily see, has
been shortened to hickory in our day.
The lI8ckories are only found in North
America, it is said"
"Why is it that some hickory nuts
are small and bitter?" asked the boy.
1.-The nuts you refer to look very
much like hickory nuts, but are not.

together on the ground. After it had
been laid out and pinned together long
poles were attached with OK chains and
combined strength of the boys and men.
Even the women sometimes pulled, too
lending the encoura cement of their
presence and thus showing their good
will. The other sides were then put
up, crossbeams and studding pinned
into places. Nails were scarce and ex-
pensive. Movers from one section of
the country to another often tore down
their houses simply to get the nails.
After the huge rafters were raised
for the roof the ridgepole was put in
place. At the beginning each man was
assigned his place and his work, and he
performed it faithfully when his turn
came.
When we consider the lack of proper
tools. we are surprised at the really
comfortable homes fashioned from the
trees. The bark was often left on. The
logs were simply halved at the corners
and the cracks between "chinked" with
wedges of wood or daubed with clay
The roofs were matched with bark or
made with overlapping squares of
chestnut or birch bark. A bark shutter
hung at the windows sometimes there
was but one window, and door made
of the same material hung on a leath
ern clasp. Rough pinceon split logs
smoothed off on the face with the aXl
floors were a luxury as desirable then
as foreign rugs would be today. All
the locks required were manipulated
by the latchstring hanging outside by
day. When this string was pulled in
doors. as was usually done at night, it
securely locked the house.
Our forefathers certainly would have
opened their eyes to read of a modern
artistically constructed house filed
with Injuries and decorations. Many
things would have been beyond their
comprehension no doubt. yet there are
lessons to be learned from them
their indomitable purpose. their splen-
did energy. sublime endurance of hard
ship, patience. unselfishness. neighbor-
liness-aye, and their godliness too
Nowhere were these heroic character
istics shown in greater degree than in
their overcoming the forest giants and
utilizing them when they were con-
quered for their primitive homes and
their crude but comfortable furnish
ings.

single tree ripens annually millions of
seeds capable of sprouting other giants.
There is no limit to the life of the Sc
quota, and unless it should be cut
down, undermined, blown down or de-
stroyed by lightning this giant, already
1000 years old or more, may still have
q lease of life for ten or twenty centu-
rles to come. The stump which Pro
fessor Muir examined a quarter of a
century ago was believed to have at
tanned it's prime before the beginning
Of the Christian era, which means that
it was then at'least 1000 years old.
