Rumor That Colombian Troops wiz
Try to Retake the isthmus.
Panama, Nov. II. - President May-
roquin's statement as conveyed in a
cablegram to Gen. Plaza, president Of
Ecuador, that Generals Reyes, Cabai-
leros, Ospina and Holguin are now
marching on the isthmus to suppress
the isthmian traitors" has set the en-
tire population Of the isthmus laugh
Ing. Protected by the impenetrabilit,
Of the land and the many leagues OF
coast line separating the isthmus from
Colombia, and confident that tho
United States intends to prevent the
landing OF Colombian soldiers frns
the sea, the istmians feel that their
security is absolute.
The loss of the iSthmian territory is,
Of course, a tragedy for Colombia.
The government at Bogota is probably
ignorant of the attitude taken by the
United States during the last two
weeks. In frenzy to Save its face,
to appease an angry and disappointed
populace and to satisfy the public de
mand for some appearance OF activity
ana an attempt to save the honor ana
the territorial integrity OF Colombia,
the government is no doubt promising
and threatening to send forces tn the
coast and to take other aggressive
steps.

dated Thursday, Nov. IL, and at that
time Mr.. Beaupre described the feel
ing in the capital city as panicky.

Colombian government his instruc
tions sent to him by the state depart
ment on the 9Th inst, advising hin
that the United States has entered
into relations with the government or
ernments of Colombia and Panam.
"the peaceful and equitable settlement
of all questions at issue between
them"
The Colombian government, ae-
cording to Minister Beaupre. was dts
posed to ask for an explanation OF the
instructions, but the minister an
swered that he regarded them as self
explanatory.

OF the distinguished authors Of Per-
STA none perhaps has enjoyed a wider
popularity than Sadi, who lived In the
thirteenth century. He was a great
traveller and close observer. and his
anecdotes and short stories are de-
scribed as being founded on his own
experiences and observations. In FER
sian Poetry For English Readers Mr..
s. Robinson quotes the following from
Sadi's writings:
A pupil said to his instructor, what
am / TO do, for people incommode me
with the frequency of their visits 10
such a degree that their conversation
produces great distraction OF my val
liable timer
The teacher replied: ITO every one
who is poor lend and from every one
who is rich borrow. They will not come
about you again"
Another example embodies excellent
advice: A silly fellow, having pain In
his eyes, went to farrier and asked
him for a remedy. The farrier applied
to his eyes something which he would
have given to an animal, and 1t blind
ed him, upon which they made an APP
peal to the magistrate. The magistrate
said:
This is no case for damages. 1t Is
plain that this fellow is an ass or he
would not have gone to farrier."
No man of enlightened understanding
VIII commit weighty matters to one of
mean abilities.

A Poser For oonlSring.

When Roscoe ConkliDg first began
the practice of law in New York, he
lost most important murder case on
which he had worked very hard not
only for the fee, which he needed bad
ly, but for a reputation which he had
to make. Despite his efforts his client
was hanged. Later, when he present
ed his bill to the mans family, they re-
fused to pay it on the ground that II
was excessive. He took the bill to
Charles O'Conor, the great criminal
lawyer, asking him TO pass judgment
as to the equity of his charges. OCon-
or scanned the account very closely and
then, turning to Conkling, very gravely
remarked, "Well, Conkling, taking into
consideration the enormous amount OF
energy and time you have devoted &c
this case, the charges are reasonable
but see here, Conkllng, don't you think
the man could have been hanged fol-
less money that that?'

The PtarmiEan,s Tail.

One of the most entertaining chapters
in natural history is that which relates
to the many curious means that birds
and other animals possess Of deceiving
the eyes of their enemies. Mr.. Il. san
dys, in writing of upland game birds,
calls attention to a remarkable and
beautiful instance. When the ptar-
migan puts on its winter dress. 1t has
a black tail. One might suppose that
this would attract attention to the bird
crouching on the snow, but In fact 1t
serves for concealment. Every projec-
ton on a snowfield casts dark shad-
ow and that is what the tail OF the
motionless ptarmigan looks like, the
body Of the bird resembling mere
hump on the white background.

known to have been printed that bears
a date and which is valued at $4,000.
The books printed by Caxton represent
to the museum fortune in themselves.
while the Elgin marbles represent an
enormous value only to be estimated
in millions. The Rosetta stone might
fetch anything from 100000 to $780,
100000, and the Nineveh bulls with
