The One Who WASN'T whipped.

1t was in large school, and one of
the boys had committed some grave
infraction of discipline. The teacher
announced that he would thrash the
whole class if some one did not tell
him who had committed the offense.
All were silent, and he began with the
first boy and thrashed every one in the
class until finally he reached the last
one Then he said, Now, if you will
tell me who did this l won't thrash
you" "All right, sir, did it." was the
reply

A curiou. Freak of Lightning.

The old adage that lightning never
strikes twice in the same place" has
often been disproved. Here is an in
stance in point: In the summer of
1884 the farmhouse of Henry Axtell, in
Chemung county, N. Y, was struck by
lightning three times in one day. First
It split the chimney from top to bottom,
ruined stove and pipe and bored sever
al large holes in the floor. An hour
later bolt struck the same house
and tore q milk bench, upon which sew
eral cans of milk were setting, all %
pieces. The same evening a third flash

He had married the girl of his heart,
and they had settled down to happi-
ness in a pretty uptown fiat, writes
Madeline Bridges, in an exchange. But
he had begun to notice when he came
home, after the long day of separation,
that his young wife's greeting was not
the joyful one of the first weeks of
bridehood, and he fancied sometimes
that he could detect traces of tears in
her gentle eyes. Presently, he noticed
them Enthusiastically on her tender
cheek, and heart-wrung at last by her
silence he begged her to tell him what
pain or grief, unshared by him, could
give her cause for tears. Then, indeed,
she wept outright, unanimously, We
hemently, with broken incoherent
words of passionate accusation
Amazed and distracted he at length
gathered the sense of what she was
striving to utter.
1t was six weeks since he had admir-
ed her dress, a month since he had
praised her hair, three weeks since he
had called her the lovelist woman in
the world, and ten days since he had
said he adored her.
As satisfactorily as a young hus-
band can, he corrected these sins of
omission. Smiling to himself, above the
brown head, now quiet on his breast,
he laved it with a stream of eloquent
praise, and fervent endearments. Pres
emily, she was looking at him flushed,
and dimpling-radiant with delight.
He thought, Sweet girl, how dearly
she loves me-" And the thought made
life seem doubly sacred.
He was too young a man and too
ardent a Worshiper, to realize the diff
ference between love and self-love.

Some of the newspapers are anxious
that the digging OF the Panama canal
shall be begun Immediately, but there
will be no digging until possession of
the property is obtained. Colombia
| is disposed to put all the obstacles in
the way of our obtaining possession
that she can. We called attention a
few days ago to the fact that she had
filed two suits against the Panama
Canal Company in the courts of Paris.
In one of them she asks that the ca.
nal company be prohibited from sell
ing it's property to the United States
and in the other she asks that she be
put in possession of certain shares in
the company which she claims. 1t is
the understanding that the suits will
be heard early in March.
1t isn't believed, of course, that the
company viii be prohibited from dis
posing of its property to this country.
There is no reason why it should. In
the other suit this country has no
particular interest. But the money win
not be paid to the canal company until
the Attorney General says the title is
entirely clear. 1t may, therefore, be
several weeks before there is a transfer
of the property.
There is no doubt, however, that all
obstacles will be swept aside and that
in the course of a very few weeks the
United States will be in complete pos
session of the canal property. In the
meantime other questions may arise.
1t seems almost impossible to foresee
all the things that ought to be pro-
vided for. For instance, it was the
intention that the canal should be neu-
trail But will it be neutral under the
treaty which we have signed with
Panama? AS a matter of fact the
United States owns the land upon
which the canal is situated. 1t is n
ten-mile strip across the isthmus, and
this strip is to be governed by a COM
mission appointed by the President
If this country gets into a war will
its enemy respect the canal? Will the
canal be regarded as neutral? 1t is
hardly reasonable to suppose it will. 1t
will be the property of the United
States and it will be situated upon
their territory. If the situation re-
mains as it is at present therefore
the ten-mile strip will be regarded as
a distant possession of this country
and viii be open to attack.
Those who have been the firmest adj
vocates of a big navy since the present
naval bill has been under discussion
have in view probably the fact that
the United States will want much
larger naval force now that it has a
portion Of the Isthmus of Panama to
defend.
