How Old is Dick?

Those newspaper readers who
remain outside the asylum after
figuring on the age of Ann may
be ready for another problem of
the same sort.
1t seems that the Ann problem
has been tackled in England "a
well as IN America but our British
cousins wanted something not SO
easy and the island empire is now
astir over a new one which some
unknown genius has put into
catchy but puzzllng rhyme. The
following is the new profile M as
it is said to have come over from
England:
Said ROBIN to Richaru: "If ever
come
To the age you are nov w,brother
mine,
Our ages, united, will mount to
sum
OF years making ninety and
nine"
Said Richard That's certain and
ii it be fair
For us to look forward 90 far,
| then shall be double the age
that you we're
When | was the age that you
are.
This is really not as hard as it
sounds. The States mathemati
cal editor is out of town--baviug
never recovered from his strug
giles with the age Of Ann-but a
substitute has work ed it out, aud
the answer will be presented as q
Christmas gift to any one who
sends stamps for reply and whose
subscription is paid year in ad
vance. Mathematical genius ia

stilt waIlzers of Frnnce.

In the south of France stilts are a
necessity to the people, who are mostly
shepherds. They must walk on stilts in
order to oversee their vast Aocks Of
sheep as well as to pass through the
bogs.
These shepherds-men, women and
children walk continuously on stilts
from six to eight feet high These
stills are merely fastened to the feet.
Sometimes the stilts have uprights
reaching as far as the knees and bound
firmly'to the legs.
Generally these shepherds and shep-
herdesses carry long poles, which they
can use either as balancing poles or as
supports-very long canes, as it were
reaching TO the ground. They become
so expert in stilt walking that it is no
unusual sight to see a shepherdess
striding along on stilts that raise her
six feet above the ground, with her
balancing pole strapped to her back
and her hands busily knitting socks for
husband, son or brother
The complete unconcern with which
these country folk make their way
along on stills IS astonishing. One
might almost say that the children
have stills given TO them instead of
cradles. Washington Star

FOILING A HlGHWAYMAN.
The Proper Thing to Do When Intrc-
duced to n HnIdun.


A man who carries his money and
his watch i'll his left hand will never
lose penny nor a timepiece in a hold
up. The precaution, which is per-
feet one. is so simple that few people
have thought of it. Yet it has the
sanction Of the police, and its efficacy
has been proved in more than one in
stance
AS soon as the citizen is confronted
by the holdup man he will, if he has
his money and his watch in his hand,
throw them on the nearest lawn or
into the ditch. No highway robber has
time enough to stop to look for either.
There is no sense in carrying valuables
In the right hand, because the first
move of every accomplished holdup
man is to grab his victim by the right
arm. This movement is made to pre-
vent the victim from reaching for a
revolver.
The man who tries to draw a re-
volyer while holdup man is in front
Of him takes his life in his hands. If
a citizen carries a revolver at all he
should carry it in his right hand while
in dangerous street. His money and
his watch should always be in his left.
Then after he has thrown them away
and the robber has departed discoIn-
fited the victim can take his time about
finding his property.
This simple plan discounts all the re-
volvers sword canes, slungshots and
brass knuclxles ever invented and has
the added beauty that it can be EN-
ployed by woman as well as by a
man. To throw the purse or the watch
away takes but fraction of a second,
and that isn't long. Chicago Tribune.

A stringed instrument suspended in
a favorable position near a pianoforte
will sound when tones corresponding
to the open strings are produced on the
pianoforte. The volume of the answer
ing tone will depend upon the atmos-
pheric conditions, the quality and color
of the persuading tone and the sensi-
dveness of the responding material.
There is a familiar anecdote told of
famous tenor who by singing the tone
that was consonant with that of a
wineglass could make the glass shiver
so violently that it would fall to pieces.
1t is because Of this tonal sympathy
that the cause of a harsh, rattling
tone that may suddenly appear in
pianoforte Is detected with difficulty.
Though 1t may appear to be in the in
strument, it is often far away and may
come from loose globe or pendant on
chandelier. Even key in a door has
been known to be the guilty cause.

A Twin Problem.

The arrival of twins, boy and q
girl, in the village of Wiggetthal,
Argovie, is causing the municipal
council the greatest embarrassment.
The father died shortly before their
birth, leaving fve-tenths of his for
tune to the expected child if it were
a boy and three-tenths if a girl, the
mother to receive the remainder.
The mother Of the twins has appeal
ed to the local municipal authori-
ties to carry out the terms of the
will. Although the members of the
council have had the case under
consideration for nearly a month
they have not yet arrived at def
mite decision.

The Wine Bath.

One of the lovely matrons often
seen at Sherry's in the afternoon
has at last given out the secret Of
her complexion, which all other wo-
men, whether jealous or not, call
divine" She whispered to bevy
of fair friends: ''It is due altogether
to wine. Let US keep the secret
among us, or all compilations will
be as good as ours" "But | drink
wine, and my complexion is horrid, '
pouted one. Drink it ?" exclaimed
the beauty. GLOW on earth can you
expect to drink wine and have a
complexion?'' ''You have just said
that yours is due to wine." "Ah,
but / did not say that / drink the
stuff. I bathe in it." Sensation

First Sight of a Train.

Mrs. Overton, who lives near
Gleason, Tenn, came in town the
other day for the purpose of seeing
a passenger train. She is thirty
years old and has lived within fif-
teen miles of the railway nearly all
her life, but had never even seen the
track up to this time. On hearing
the train approaching she became
very much excited and refused to
go near the track, thinking the
train a great monster capable Of
doing her harm if it desired She
returned greatly worked up over
her adventure.-EX Exchange.

mus, who had long been unpaid, made
common cause with the people of Pan
anna, and with astonishing unanimity
the new republic was started. The
duty Of the United States in the prem
ises was clear. In strict accordance
with the principles laid down by Sec
retaIies Cass and Seward, the United
States gave notice that it would per-
NIT the landing Of no expeditionary
force, the arrival of which would mean
chaos and destruction along the line of
the railroad and Of the proposed canal
and an interruption of transit as an
inevitable consequence. The de facto
government of Panama was recog-
nized.
Under such circumstances the gov
ernment of the United States would
have been guilty of folly and weak
ness, amounting in their sum to a crime
against the nation, had it acted other
wise than it did when the revolution OF
Nov. 3 last took place in Panama. This
great enterprise of building the inter-
oceanic canal cannot be held up to
crafty the whims or out Of respect to
the governmental impotence or to the
even more sinister ana evil political
peculiarities Of people who though
they dwell afar oil, yet. against the
wish of the actual dwellers on the 18TH
mus, assert an unreal supremacy over
the territory. The possession of a ter
ritory fraught with such peculiar ca
paeities as the isthmus in question car
ries with it obligations to mankind.
The course Of events has shown that
this canal cannot be built by private
enterprise or by any other nation than
our own; therefore it must be built by
the United States.
New Treaty with Panama.
Every effort has been made by the
government Of the United States to per-
suade Colombia to follow course
which was essentially not only to our
interests and to the interests of the
world but to the interests of Colom-
bia itself, These efforts have failed,
and Colombia, by her persistence in re-
pulsing the advances that have been
made. has forced us for the sake of
our own honor and of the interest and
well being not merely of our own peo-
pie, but of the people of the isthmus Of
Panama and the people of the civilized
countries of the world, to take decisive
steps to bring to an end a condition of
affairs which had become intolerable
The new republic of Panama immedi-
ately offered to negotiate treaty with
US. This treaty herewith submit.
BY it our interests are better safeguard
ed than in the treaty with Colombia
which was ratified by the senate at its
last session. 1t is better in its terms
than the treaties offered to us by the
republics of Nicaragua and Costa Rica
AT last the right to begin this great
undertaking IS made available. Pan
anna has done her part All that re
mains is for the American congress to
90 its part and forthwith this republic
will enter upon the execution of a
project colossal in it's size and of well
nigh incalculable possibilities for the
good Of this country and the nations of
