rivalry which might exist between us. There are no such limitations to the bitter hostility Of the Continental Pow CTS toward the United States as a new world Power. which has many ad- Yantages over Europe and is every day growing in wealth and influence.
 
 Our good fortune has given us, under diHerent administrations and parties. distinguished Presidents and Secre-. taries of State, and we have now in Mir. Hay a true statesman, who is generally recognized in Europe as well as in America as the ablest Minister Of Foreign Affairs in the world; but with out the support of two-thirds of the Senate our President and Secretary of state are powerless. They cannot make a treaty. Our first duty, then as world Power Is to have a Senate which understands world politics and their bearing upon our destiny. Some great Power will some day teach us this lesson in war if we do not learn it for ourselves in peace. If we would avoid this calamity we must under stand ourselves and realize what we occupy in the world.
 am not a party man and have not had an opportunity to vote in the United States since 1858, but have followed the history of American diplo- macy during that period with the deep est interest, and I am sure that Presi- dent Rooseyelt's management of foreign affairs since he came into office compares favorably with that of any president We have ever had: and that at this critical period nothing could be more unfortunate for our country than to exchange President Roosevelt and MT, Hay, who have known how to de- fend our rights and maintain peace. who are recognized in Europe as sup .porters of The Hague Tribunal and of every effort to secure peace in the world, for men who, however honest and honorable. are unknown outside of America and without experience in dealing with international questions.

Stories of Brave Old Times present some pen pictures of scenes which took place previous to. or connected with, the American Revolution. The author ia Helen M. Cleveland, the author of Vivid Scenes in American History This new book is profusely illustrated from photographs and with pen draw ings. The wild turmoil of our seething revolution has been iced to frigidity, yes, even dulled to stupidity, by con- ventional chronicles of bare facts. At popular demand, historical fiction has softened false impressions by showing some of the hot atmosphere of the times about few events of great in terest, but the really dramatic has only just begun to be breathed Into accounts of the stupendous dramas enacted by our forefathers. A few unsigned arti- cles In Youths Companion" first at tracted attention to Miss Cleveland as a portrayer of the dramatic in history. The late Daniel Ford said of them, Fresh, vigorous, dramatic and pictur- esque. These words most aptty de scribe her riper work in this book. It is a book for every library, book for adults and book for the young. Per- haps no other book yet written sets the great cost of freedom so clearly before the young, consequently is such a spur to patriotism. Price SIPS; for sale by all booksellers.

"0n the Trail of Pontiac" relates to the pioneer boys of Ohio, and is the fourth volume in Mr Stratemeyer s highly successful colonial series so en- tertaining and also instructive.
 This volume tells of times in our country immediately after the war with France for the possession of Can- ada. Ifl those days there was much unrest, and keen spirit of rivalry among the French, the English and the Indians on the frontier
 The tale is complete in itself, but in it are introduced a number of charac- ters which have already figured in this series, including that brave young sol dier, Dave Morris, his equally sturdy cousin, Henry, and their mutual friends, Sam Barringford, the back woodsman, and White Buffalo, chief of the Delawares. Pontiac, chief of the Ottawas, is also a leading figure, and much is told of his work in organ izing that great conspiracy against the whites which has few parallels in the history of the red men.
 The plot turns upon the establishing of trading post upon the Ohio river, and many hunting scenes and visits to Indian villages are depicted. The his- torical setting of the tale is based upon facts, and the Indians are shown as they actually were,-neither wholly good nor wholly bad, and the same may be said of the hunters, trappers and traders. A fight with the Indians

 Of ''LiP Gap' the New York Tele- gram says: But fin LIT GaT Mir. Dunbar's volume of verse, the camera eelipses the pen of the artist. No high CT art in photography has been shown than in the modelling of these iIlustra- tions. and it Is but fitting to say they are by Leigh Richmond Miller. of the Hampton Institute Camera club.

 No more pleasing books for children have been written in recent years than those by Miss Nina Rhodes, whose ability to touch the heart of the reader by the simple naturalness of her con versation and descriptions is excep- tional. Tn this latest book, little Wini- fred Hamilton, the child heroine of last years story. "Winifred's Neighbors," reappears, living in the second of thN four. stories of a New York apartment house. On the top floor are two very interesting children, Betty, little old CT than Winifred who is now ten, and Jack, brave little cripple, who is a year younger. The widowed mother, proud and distant until won over by the kindness of good friends, whom the many readers of Miss Rhodes pre- vioua book already know, shows un- mistakably that something very differ .ent from poverty and loneliness has been familiar to her, which fact is also very evident from the native character of her children and their excellent breeding. In the end comes a glad re- union, and also other good fortune for crippled Jack; and Winifred's kind lit tie heart has once more Indirectly caused great happiness to many oth- CTS. This is the strongest story Miss Rhoades has yet given us, excellent as have been her others. Price $1. For sale by all booksellers.

Of these latter only one deserves especial mention, and that only because of one feature. This Is the ruin of the Church of San Domingo, standing well down toward the water front. Nc- body seems to know exactly how old this church is. but tradition has 1t that 1t was completed about 200 years ago. and that the night before 1t was to be con- secrated it was destroyed by lire. It stands now as the site of one of the wonders of the worid--a flat arch built of brick and without keystone. This arch has span of about 70 feet and measures about 1s inches on either side. It hangs something like 70 feet above the ground, absolutely unsupported, and has hung there for two centuries. a small brick link between two ruined walls. This arch has been studied by architects but none has ever solved the problem of how. without 8 curve. 1t was ever cons sucted in the first instance, or why it did not fall ages ago.

 It is, in the light of this. not strange that Panama has a bad name. Health is well nigh impossible in such place. and when we bring into account the general ignorance of the populace, the universal poverty the toridity of sunshiny days, and the constant downpour of rain that marks other days, conditions are seen to be ripe for psstilence. The general situa- ton is not, however. as bad as it is in the transisthmian City Of Colon.

Here the rains wash the streets; in Colon they but accentuate the swamps and quagmires. The streets in Panama arc little better than dark alleys, but they are paved. That the pavement is only the toughest copblestone Is true, but even that suffices to reduce the number of in- cubating places for diseases-spreadin mosquitoes.

 Panama will lose quickly its reputation as one of the most forbidding spots, for resi-
 dential purposes, on the face of the globe.
 That her reputation is So dark is Pana- mas own fault. The ills inflicted hy Colombia are to blame in a measure; but, had she desired to do so. Panama might long ago have freed herself rom the bur den of disease and danger to life she now carries. Colombia consistently reduced the revenues of the department, but Pana- ma has had her own municipal council and her independent revenues. Notwith- standing this. she has absolutely neglect ed to establish or enforce even the most ordinary regulations for sanitary im- provement, as well as methods for pre- venting infection. Garbage is left for days at a time in the streets in the small yards in the rear of the residences, to decay and pollute the earth as well ns the atmosphere.

 The Plaoe is Void of Comforts.
 Life In a city so void of attractions must of necessity have drawbacks, and of these there are a plenty In Panama. There Is here. as have already explained, some social activity; but this touches only the better class of the permanent popu. Iation. For the transient and for the lower classes there is absolutely nothing or interest.

 The City's Bad Reputation.
 This city stands upon a volcanic plateau, whose surface Is several feet above level of high tide, and whose underlying stone forms natural wall to check the tide, which rises and falls an average of about IS feet. Slightly to the westward, tower ing over the city to . height of several hundred feet, is Ancou Hill, a mountain large and rich enough to furnish resorts and water supply for the population. The surface of the ground upon which the city stands rolls just enough to interfere with tho construction of sewerage and waterworks systems, which, under the terms of the treaty now before the Sem
