Disappearanee Of q War Cloud.

The reassuring word comes from
Central America that the Colombian
government has finally abandoned It's
intention Of going to war with Uncle
longed- for relief to the American peo-
pie. For some weeks their dreams
have been troubled by visions of this
great Colombian army, whose strength
is solemnly asserted to be close to loo,-
900 men. marching through the swamps
and over the mountain, re-annexing the
new republic of Panama. and taking
possession of the canal zone, which IN
Gle Sam has bought. To be sure. the
government at Washington has not
seemed alarmed at this great peril. and
one high official remarked that IF
dozen or two Of the army ever live 10
reach Panama, we will give them Il
cordial reception, wholesome food ana
comfortable beds, and when they are
thoroughly rested. will ship them home
to BoSOta.''
But if Colombia has given up its war
like project. this work of charity VIII
not be necessary. 1t is also given out
that Colombia has reduced its standing
army to 1000 men. but as it's soldiers
are of the paper kind, il really does not
make much difference how large it is.
There need no longer be any delay in
going to work upon the canal through
fear that the Colombian army will rush
over the mountains and capture our
wOrkmen and fill up the ditch. With
the disappearance of this national per-

Uncle Sans horizon, unless Uncle Ga

In Winter.

The valley stream is frozen. \
The hills are cold and bare,
And the wild. white bees of winter .
Swarm in the darkened air.
! look on the naked forest.
Was it ever green in June.
Did it burn with gold and crimson
In the dim autumnal noon?
/ look on the barren meadow.
Was ii ever heaped with hayo
Did 1t hide the grassy cottage
Where the skylark's children lay?
/ look on the desolate garden:
Is it true the rose was there
And the woOdbine's musky blossoms.
And the hyacinth's purple hair?
look in my heart and marvel
II Love were ever its own.
If the Spring of promise frightened.
And the Summer of passion shone.
Is the stem of bliss but withered.
And the root survives the blast?
Are the seeds of the Future sleeping
BndeE the leaves of the Past?

judgment in the selection of the nails

charge of a carload of potatoes from
Guilford to Boston. Mr.. Wright bought

and started with it to act as fireman
to keep the potatoes from freezing
While on the road, the car being what
is known rs a lined car. with stove
and funnel. and requiring the care of
an attendant while in transit. The
journey for so long a distance by
freight trains would prove a disagreea-

as is Mr.. Wright. for the shaking up.
and possibly throwing down, of one

it is only necessary to place them IN

to swim around as if none the worse
from their experience. In a recent
shipment of 500 from Rockland but
thirty were dead when they were
placed in water in Lewiston. These
fish make excellent live bait owing to
the fact that they are SO hardy. To
place them upon Il hook does not seem
to bother them and they will live much
longer than the common fresh water

raj element of salt water to fresh
water is not entirely beneficial, how
ever. and herein lies the only risk taken
by the man who sells these fish for
