Officials Tired of Colombia's Dilatori-
 ness.

ness.
 Walter wellman's Washington Special to
 Chicago Record-Herald.
 Another effort is being made by the Washington government to hold the Nica- ragua Club over the Colombians. Secre- tary Hay has had several conferences re- gently with men interested in the Panama enterprise. and it is somewhat ostenta- tiously announced that President Roose- velt's patience with Colombia is about exhausted, and that he is pretty nearly ready to treat with Nicaragua for a ca nal treaty by that route
 Of course it is fully understood that these movements are for the purpose of impressing the Colombians with the ne- cessity of ratifying the pending treaty. Nothing else makes so much impression upon the Colombians as threats to adopt the rival route farther north. They are very eager to have the canal built on their territory, but they think Uncle Sam is rich enough to pay them a much bigger price for the concession. Reports con- corning the proba bilities of ratification by the Colombian Congress. whicb~is to meet June 20 are so conflicting as to be of little value.
 Even if the Colombians fail to ratify this treaty, no well informed official be- lieves there is any serious danger of the adoption of the Nicaragua route. As an engineering and commercial proposition the Nicaragua project is now thoroughly discredited. Eminent engineers declare that if the United States were foolish enough to attempt to construct a canal there, some other nation would step in ad finish the Panama work
 If this treaty fails of ratification, 1t Is true, President Roosevelt is authorized by the Spooner act to go ahead and con clude arrangements with Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Doubtless he would do so, but those arrangements could not be bind ing till ratified by the United States Sen ate, and that would mean nearly year of delay. Meanwhile Colombia would be pretty sure to come to her senses. Will liam Nelson Cromwell, attorney for the Panama Company has information which leads him to believe the Colombian Con- gress will ratify the treaty. Admiral Walker Is of like opinion. The latter says the United States will construct Its isth- milan canal at Panama and not at any other place.
 A State Department official, discussing the canal treaty today, asked: What do those Colombians want, any way? More money? Why, we agree to pay them $10 0OO, 900 in gold. In their coun- try gold exchange Is at the premium of thirty to one. That means $300, 0O,0O0 ot their money. It would simply make them rich"
 . is an error to speak of the $40,000,- 900 which the United States is to pay the Panama Canal Company flor its conces- sion on the isthmus." The United States does not propose to pay anything for the French concession. That concession IS wholly valueless to the United States, and has never been considered otherwise What the United States proposes to buy from the French company is the work done LID to this time, the plant, machinery and drawings, estimated by the commis sion to be actually worth the 4OoOo,OV asked for 1t.

President Breaches.

President Roosevelt went to preaching sunday and preached. The occasion was the dedication of the Grace Memorial Re from Church, otherwise lately known as the Presidents Church." Admission to the church was by ticket and a squad of policemen about the door saw that the President was not disturbed in his devo- the dedication canticle the President preached on the same line he has been using in his campaign careering through the West, telling the people how to be good and insisting that they do good things as well as say them. It was a hum drum homly, with the exception that he suggested that Dutch immigrants to this counu should be helped when they came here The text was: Serve the Lord with dness; enter Into His gates with thanksgiving. and into His courts with praise.

 The Presidents sermon had no refer- ence to any point of the text, except by indirection. The sermon was not com mensurate in cheerfulness with the ex- uitant and sanguine note of the text. It had a minor key, the deepest reach Of which was this sentiment: "One sad. one lamentable phase of human history is that the very loftiest words. implying the loftiest ideas, have been used as cloaks of dreadful deeds of iniquity."
 The Presidents sermon was more Of miserere than Jubilate. He must have been in a peculiar mood.

Ben putIer,. sbort speech.

Francis E. Leupp in the Century says
that probably the shortest speech ever
delivered in congress was made by
Ben Butler of Massachusetts. An Ohio
member had fallen afoul of him one
day and poured upon him torrent Of
abuse which would have excited gen.
eral Indignation but for an uncon-
sciously ridiculous gesture with which
the orator accompanied almost, every
alternate sentence This tempered the
disgust of his hearers with mirth He
would raise his arms just as high above
his head as possible and then wiring
his hands as If he were making de-
lirious attempt to wiring them off. But
Ter sat through the speech with his
eyes half closed, not moving muscle.
lie rose when his assailant finished and
stood calmly in the aisle. After per-
haps minute of silence he began.
Mr.. Speaker Another impressive
pause, and expectancy reached nearly
the bursting point. Suddenly raising
his arms. Butler reproduced exactly
the awful gesture of the Ohio congress
man. Then his arms fell to his sides.
and for another minute he stood ST.
lent. THAT is all, Mr.. Speaker" he
said finally. II just wanted to an

History and biography.

The whole value of history, of biog-
raphy, is to increase my self trust by
demonstrating what man can be and
do. This is the moral of the Plutarchs,
the Cudworths. the Tennemanns, who
give us the story of men or of opinions.
Any history of philosophy fortifies my
faith by showing me that what high
dogmas l had supposed were the rare
and late fruit of a cumulative culture,
and only now possible to some recent
Kant or Fichte, were the prompt i'm
provisations of the earliest inquirers;
of Parmenides, Heraclitus and Ken
Ophanes.
In view of these students the soul
seems to whisper: ''There is better
way than this indolent learning of an
other Leave me alone. Do not teach
me out of Leibnitz or Schelling, and 1
shall find it all out myself"
Still more do we owe to biography
the fertilization of our hope. If you
would know the power of character,
see how much you would impoverish
the world If you could take clean out
of history the lives of Milton. Shake
speare and Plato, these three, and
cause them not to be. See you not how
much less the power of man would bef
Emerson.

Then he walked up and down under

Suddenly he came over to her, and IN
spite of her protests he lifted her in his
arms to Il higher scat in the old tree

stroke her hair and watch the moon
light on her face as he had watched

With an effort he brought his eyes
down close to hers and smiled at her

said.
But" she began.
There are no butts" He lifted
her down, and they stood together be-
meath the dark boughs. "She is beau
tiful, little girl; but SO was the picture
that we saw in the at gallery when
we went to the city, but didn't want
to bring the picture home, and I
couldn't take her into my little home

She laid her head down on his arm
with sigh of content.
But l can't help wishing you had
never seen her."

her bowed head and down the long,
long road that led to the city there
came shadow, but Dawes voice was
gay as he raised her face to his and
kissed her.

WESLEY MADE
The ADVANCE
This Instance Shows that His
Reputation for Kindness
Was Deserved

John Wesley once had a disagree
ment with Joseph Bradford, his travel
ing companion of many years, and
they agreed to part. They retired for
the night, each firm in his determine
ton and each doubtless deploring in
his heart the separation soon to follow
between two friends who had been so
devoted and mutually helpful. In the
morning Wesley asked Bradford If he
had considered during the night their
agreement to part
Eyes, sir" said Bradford.
"And must we partY inquired Yves

grimly.
But will you not ask my pardonT
demanded Wesley.

"You won't?"

"In that case" said Wesley gently
II must ask yours"
1t was not the ending which Brad
ford anticipated. A moment he hest
tated, and then, breaking into tears,
he followed Wesley's example and for
gave and was forgiven.

A COurtier In Blue Flannel.

A fine yacht lay at anchor awaiting
a favorable breeze for her mission of
pleasure. The crew idled about the
deck. and a happy group of guests was
aft conversing pleasantly. In the group
was handsome mother. Her romping
boy of five years broke from her hand,
clambered to the rail, rolled over 1t
and was whirled down the tide. The
mothers shrieks reused doing, loung-
ing sailor. who at once comprehended
the situation and plunged after the
child. Others promptly manned boat
and soon overhauled the sailor, who
was now swimming with the little fell
low in his grasp.
AS soon rs they returned to the

ing eyes, threw her arms around the
neck of the dripping rescuer and fer
vently exclaimed: "Oh, oh, sir. how
how can ever repay you? Name your

that she seemed cheerful enough. You

l convinced him that | was not de-

devising plans to help this poor child
bear her burden. There was nothing
else for us to do. If the Miss Jones
whom l knew was not Sibyl, my rea-

ference had vanished, but l was very
glad that he had come, not only be-
cause Of the pleasure it gave me to see
him, but on Lucy AIMS account If
she were not the better for his SYM
patty, she would be the first that ever
saw it fail.
He could be with me only for Il
night. We had an early breakfast next
morning, and then he rode with Jimmy
to st. 10.
During the forenoon l had a little
chat with Lucy Ann in the main porch.
Her own affairs did not become the
subject of our talk, but she touched
closely upon mine at one point. 1t may
have been the sight Of Jimmy driving
back from town that brought the mat
ter to her mind.

said she. II think you said that you'd
met her."

She stared at me with her pretty gray
eyes opened very wide.
"Why not?" she asked.
Naturally 1 could give no explana-

"She's been here BEFORE" said Lucy
Ann, finding that did not intend to
speak. I'VE shall all be glad to see
her, all, including my aunt and uncle,

tie east tree-and you"
"Why do you think shall be particu-
