Settle Differences Between Two
Countries.

The president has instructed Secre
tary of War Taft to proceed at an
early date, to Panama to confer with
the president of that republic with a
view to composing the differences that

tries.
In letter to Secretary Taft, the

self, have concluded that it will be
of great advantage if you can visit the
isthmus of Panama in person and holo
conference with the president and
other governmental authorities of the
republic Of Panama. You are author
lied in doing this to take with you
such persons as you desire, familiar
with the conditions in the isthmus,
who may aid you with their counsel.
visit the better. The secretary of state
will instruct the United States minis
ter at Panama to render you every as
sistance in his power, and the gov
ernor of the canal strip, General Davis,
will, of course, do the same thing.
You will advise the president Of the
republic what the policy of this gov
eminent is to be, and assure him that
it is not the purpose Of the United
States to take advantage of the rights
conferred upon it by the treaty to in
terfere with the welfare and prosper
;ty of the state of Panama, or Of the
cities of Coon and Panama. You will
make due report of your visit on your
return.

WATERYILLE.

Those who have occasion to use the trains on the Highland division are complaining about the service they are given. Anyone wishing to go to any station going towards Hartford is obliged to either go on the 7:05 a. m. or the 3:35 p. m, there being but two trains daily on that division that stop 1n the village. The depot accommo- dattons in the village on that division are the worst of any in the state if not in the United States Even the little villages above WaterviIle, such as Greystone and other way stations on the same division, which have not half the number of passengers that Waterville has, have neat and clean stations that are well lighted at night and well heated in cold weather The telegraph station is located about half a mile above the depot, and an oper- ator is kept there night and day. It would be but little expense for the railroad company to combine the two and give Wateryille people few of the comforts that other towns of its size are accustomed to having, for Waterville certainly has manufactlir- ing interests enough to demand it. The American Pin Go employ TOO hands, the Berbecker & Rowland Mfg Go about 300, the Welch Hosiery Go 300, the Wateryille Cutlery Go about POO, the ,Rowbottom Machine Go 100, making total of 1,6OO hands that are employed in the local factories, and about 50 per cent of this number re- side in the village.

HOUSEHOLD LABOR : SAVER.
An Easily Made Contrivance Which Makes an Effectual Cut
 lery Cleaner.

To do away with the greater part of the fatigue in securing steel knives and forks, and to secure better re- suits, says Good Housekeeping, try this: Get a piece of smooth hard wood, eight inches long, six inches wide and one inch or one inch and a half thick. Take a piece of old Brus- sells carpet, not very heavy, 16 inches long and seven inches wide, turn it bot tom up and cut off one inch of width for half it's length in such way that the piece will be six inches wide on the left half and seven inches wide on the right half, the uneven side be- ing toward you Lay the carpet, bot tom up, on the board, the back and right margins fitting exactly and the extra. inch of width at the front. Tack the carpet around the margin of the board and tack the extra inch on the edge, putting the tacks at the bot tom only. In use, dampen the whole wrong side (now uppermost), put the securing material over it, place the knife or fork on the slab, fold the free portion of the carpet over, and, pressing with the left hand, push the article back and forth. Tn this way both sides are polished at once. The manner of pressure can be shifted from the fingers to the palm, at will, preventing nearly all strain on the fingers, and the work is done in a more cleanly manner. To clean the back of the blade, "saw' 1t on the slab. To clean the butt of the blade, rub it where the carpet turns over the front edge. Forks can be cleaned bet ter than by the common method double the carpet in the left hand with the fork inside to reach the inner edges of the tines. Many adaptations of the contrivance will suggest them selves after using 1t few times, and 1t will soon prove household bless ing'' to any housewife who has many steel knives and forks and has rubbed till her fingers seemed ready to break off in the old-fashioned method of securing.

NO DOLLARS FO1 JACK" Brother William Got Them by the Barrelful, But the Artist Went
 Home Penniless.

When the Irish poet, w. B. Yeats, was in America, rumors of the great success he was making here with, his lectures reached his Irish home, and these stories were not lessened by the distance they travelled The poet was simply putting his money away in barrels for the home trip, relates the New York Times.
 His brother Jack" determined to pack up and get over here before all the money in America fell to William s share. So "Iack" says, in telling the story. 'tJacE is an artist of no little ,renown, and in addition to the sar- torial arrangements he annexed his wife and his pictures to his outfit, de- termined to stay long enough to sell all his pictures, get as much money as William did, and, incidentally, get or ders, and have high old time. i He did not announce his coming to Brother William. It is a well-known rule in families that if one of the members finds good thing the others should not interfere. sJack" was true to his principles in at least keeping his Intention of breaking the rule dark
 He already saw the facile American dollar in his grasp. He didn't want to interfere with Williams gold mine, but, as long as it was wonderfully pro- life, he felt it only just and right that he should get his fingers in the pie.
 When he arrived he discovered that William was already on his way home with the barrels of money In his pos- session, and nobody in America had ever heard of Jack for, apparently, the poet had been too busy with his lectures to take his audience into his confidence concerning the talents of the other members of the family
 The picture season was over, there was a plethora of unsolds on the walls of galleries, and the picture buy CTS were on their way across or in their country homes. Jack" with canvas and wife, was left high and | dry.
 He told the story to the friends he made with an Irish humor that made them roar, and announced that he was going to pack up and get back before the barrels of money again eluded him. The next outgoing steamer saw "Jack" with face pointed toward the l Green Isle.
