When strangers visit them they make
friends fast and are always on the
lookout for candy and pennies Like
other youngsters they know that pen
nies will buy tops and marbles at the
store. But they have sharp little
tempers, too, and they are not a bit
under coutrol, either. Who ever
heard Of small boys trying to master
their hot tempers, when anything went
wrong?
Clyde was a BIT brighter than Oscar
when he was thirteen. He could walk
finely when he was eight years old,
and now, at twenty-three, he is as
pleased as Punch because he can dress
himself without a single bit of help
from his mother, who has tended him
all these years.
The Harners, father and mother,
are not different from their neighbors,
and in their family history there is
nothing TO indicate that they might
be parents OF such strange little folk.
Both are typical Hoosiers, tall and
gaunt, supple as willow wands and
rugged beyond the ideas of city folk.
Both have worked hard all their lives
and are sharp, shrewd and Intelligent.
So, what is II makes these two lit
lie people so different froIo other folk?
There is no family taint to which il
can be ascribed There is nothing To-
cai to which their queer development
can be traced
Physicians and parents alike firmly
believe that If some ordinary disease
does not carry them away, or accident

a person to live 10 such an advanced
age. The Oldest person In the United
States who is now just 131, is Noah
Raby, Of the county poorhouse at Pts

If the boys live, what possibilities
will be opened up to people Of the
years to come? Science stands aghast
at the prospect.-New York World.

One of our great editors. in enumer-
ating the probable causes Of war, states
h unless we maintain a formidable
navy we will certainly get into trouble
over the Monroe doctrine. One of the
principal requirements Of a modern bat |
tdeship is speed. a fighting ship must
be able to get quickly where it is need
ed, or ii is of little account. Inc ma
tons are all Scheming TO increase the
power of their navieS by seedy manlp-
ulations. and the canal is the most m
portant factor in such maneuVerS. Inc
Russians are again working up thflr
plan for connecting the Black sea with
the Baltic sea. They intend TO spend
something like 800, 000, 900 in construct
ing a 1,20o-mile passageway for their
fleet, n calculate that by so doing its
power will be doubled. The French
may put through a similar enterprise
to give them access to the Mediterra-
mean from the Bay of Biscay. Germany
has already constructed the kiel Canal
and greatly added to her naval strength
by so doing.
THE CANAL AND THE NAVY.
When it is taken into consideration
that England will spend in one year
almost as much in improving her navy
as We will invest in the Panama Canal,
the Importance of keeping step with
the general movement for trOnge de-
Tense can De easily appreciated.
On account of the saving in distance
by the construction of our canal the
naval experts reckon that our power Of
defense will be increased as much as
if we We're TO build n new ship for
every one We now have in operation.
No better illustration of this saving in
distance could be quoted than the case
of the Oregon's long trip just before the
| recent wal with Spain, when It cOnsium-
ed ~fifty-five days in sailing from San
Francisco around Cape Horn to Jupiter,
Fla, when, if our canal a been in
operation, 1t could have reached the
same destination in about fifteen days.
Our navy now ranks with the best, and
with its effectiveness doubled there is
little danger of our rights being tres
passed upon, or of our ability to take
care of ourselves if the necessity for
doing so arises. Building a canal in
stead of buying battleships, when, the
same result is obtained. is undoubtedly
a wise plan for the reason that il will
carr money in time Of peace, while
battleships call for constant expendi-
ture n have no earning power what
ever.

Tremendous Results of Building

washington POST

When one stops to consider what the
great results of building an isthmian
canal will be, it seems impossible that
it should have been put off SO long That
such a water way will be the true path
of sea power between the east and west,
TO the nation holding it, has been the
opinion of master minds from Colum-
bus to Mckinley. Old Commodore Van
millions, devoted his attention to the
scheme as far back as 1S49. He tramp
ed over the ground personally, and his
brilliant mind foresaw the wonderful
possibilities of this short cut across the
world. His agents secured from the
Nicaraguan government G, concession
for a corporation called the Atlantic and
Pacific Ship Canal Company but it was
out of the question to raise sufficient
money at that time to finance such a
big scheme. and the project fell
through.
Disappointed but not discouraged, the
old commodore established a stage
coach line across Nicaragua, which
made connections with steamers on the
river and lake, and thousands of Amer
leans pa~troniZed his line in the mem
Orable rush during the gold excitement
in California. The company was oper-
ated successfully until the construction
of the Panam railroad took its bust
ness away The railroad across Panama
payS an immense annual rental to the
Colombian government. and has very
heavy operating expenses to meet. yet
it has always paid q handsome return
on the investment. The isthmuS is a
natural crossing, n it seems strange
that nature should have made it so. and
then put so many barriers in the way.
