Must Have Been Ugly.

Senator Hopkins of Illinois tells of a
lady of his acquaintance in Chicago
who was recently compelled to censure
her little boy for making rude refer
ence to the appearance of a certain
visitor to her house.
Now, Richard" said the mother
sternly. "let me never hear you speak
in such disrespectful terms of Prof.
Blank"
VERY we'll, ma" replied the young
ster. but he certainly is a homely man,
isn't hep
That's very true my child; but, all
the same, you mustn't speak of it.
Prof Blank is a very estimable man. -
Il guess he is, ma" went on the hope
full, but, my. he's ugly" Then, en-
tirely forgetting the maternal admoni-
ton. the incorrigible youngster added
why, ma, the Professor is so ugly
that when he makes a face he's hand
somer than he is when he isn't making
a facet"
Whereupon the mother collapsed.

FIRST WORE ON THE IsTHMus.

Almost Immediately after the vote
was taken in the Senate by which the
Panama treaty was ratified the gov
eminent prepared to take possession
of the ten-mile strip on the isthmus,
otherwise known as the canal zone.
The Third Regiment of Infantry was
ordered there and will sail for its new
post as soon as the transports are
ready to Teceiye it.
1t is well understood that the health
conditions on the isthmus are very
bad, even in Colon and Panama. I'M
less therefore the greatest care is ex-
ercised the Third Infantry, going from
the healthy highlands of Kentucky, will
suffer severely FROM the malarious con-
ditions which prevail on the isthmus.
The first work that our government
will do on the isthmus will be of a
sanitary character. 1t is believed that
by judicious filling in of the low places
and by intelligent drainage the canal
zone can be made as healthy as the
part of the isthmus that is located in
the hills. For several months army
officers have been studying the ques-
ton of sanitation on the isthmus, and
from all accounts have their plans for
sanitary work all prepared. Both
Colon and Panama are within the ca
nal zone, and it is expected that the
first sanitary work will be done at
Colon, which is surrounded by swamps,
if, in fact, it isn't situated in swamp.
A great deal of filing in will have to
be done and also a considerable amount
of drainage. This work will cost a
great deal of money, but the govern
Tnent is prepared to- be liberal in
drainage work for the reason that it
is its purpose to sacrifice as few hui
man lives as possible in the construc-
ton of the canal.
AT Panama it is the expectation that
a new town will be established, the
site being at La Boca, the point where
the canal enters the Pacific ocean.
This site is about half mile away
from Panama, and the opinion seems
to prevail on the isthmus that La Boca
will become the site of the chief town
at the Pacific end of the canal. The
houses will be so constructed that they
will have all the sanitary advantages
with which it will be possible to sup
ply them.
| OF course it will be impossible to
compel the laborers along the line of
the canal to take precautions against
the diseases that are common to the
| isthmus, but they will be told what
precautions are necessary and will be
encouraged to make use of them.
1t is expected that about 10000 la
borers will be employed on the canal
for eight or ten years. They will be
| broGkht from the West Indies, main
| ly from Jamaica. While they are ac-
| customed to a tropical climate the
fevers of the isthmus will thin their
| ranks fearfully unless they respect the
! health regulations which will be es-
I tablished for their benefit.
OF course the sanitary work will be
mainly for the benefit of those who
| will have their homes in Colon and
Panama, but that sort of work is to
be done all along the line of the canal
wherever it can be done with advan-
| tage to the laborers. 1t is expected
that by the middle of the summer or
early in the fall work on the canal under
the American engineers will be pro-
crossing actively.

Corporations are taking more and
more interest in the personal affairs OF
their employees; exercising more or
less paternal and restraining influence
over them. Many corporations will not
permit their employees TO indulge in
strong drink 70 smoke cigarettes or To
keep bad company; others draw the
line at drinking. leaving the matter
OF personal conduct after business
hours 10 the discretion OF the individ-
uals. II cannot Be denied that reason
able restraints. even though they
smack OF patsrnahsn. are to the ad-
vantage Of employees as well as en-
ployers. OF course employers are look
ing out for their own interests when
they make their prohibitive rules; they
are not altruists, but reason that if an
employe is kept sober and out of bad
company he viii be less likely to go
wrong or neglect his duties.
To the extent of prohibiting drink
ing, cigarette smoking and fast living
it would seem that the employers had
not overstepped the bounds of pro-
priety. But what is TO be said when
theE invade the realm of the heart?
Have they a right to put up the bars
against Cupid and bid him begone? A
Chicago bank has posted a notice to
the effect that clerks in it's employ re-
ceiving less than $1,000 a year must
not get married without obtaining the
approval of the bank officials. Asked
why such an order was promulgated
one of the officials said it was foolish
for a man to attempt in Chicago to
support a wife, to say nothing of a
family, on less than $1,000 a year.
The anxiety of the bank officials, of
course, is not that the wife and fam
lily shall have better support, but that
the funds of the institution shall not
be surreptitiously drawn upon to meet
shortages in household incomes. But.
is it not likely that a clerk, without
home attachments to keep him in at
nights. would be as apt to need little
extra money beyond his salary as the
man with sweet little wife in a cot
tage? The unmarried clerk that is
much over II is apt to be a hoater if
he isn't a married man. Meanwhile,
taking into consideration the fact that
living in Chicago comes high, it is
hardly risking anything to say that
there are, even in that city, many a
small home where honesty and happi-
ness reign, in which the income is less
than $1,000 a year.

Congressman Currier, who halls
from New Hampshire, says the New
York Tribune, tells a story of a mill
itary funeral up in his state. "a
well-known colonel of militia died in
a certain state of the Union" said
Mr.. Currier. The boys, very COM
mendably, desired to give him an ap-
propriate funeral. 1t was decided to
bring a battalion of the Guard to town
to assure the proper observance of mill
itary honors.
THE battalion arrived the evening
previous to the funeral. The boys
mad no immediate business on hand,
ard before the hour of the obsequies,
1 am sorry to say, some of them were
feeling pretty good. After the funeral
ceremonies the coffin was borne out
through the door and between lines of
militiamen standing in proper position.

better than any of his comrades, flung
his cap high in the air.

Senator Hoar's name, Of course, was
found in the list of those voting for
the Panama treaty. Some two weeks
or so ago Senator Hoar made a
speech in the Senate in which there
was the bitterness OF the tears of sor-
row for the course Of his country in
the Panama business. There were ugly

HINTS FOR HORSEMEN.

Clean out the feet of the horses after
the day work is done. &
Dry. dusty meal makes very I'M
palatable meal for horses hard at work.
1t is easier to keep horse in good con-
dition than to strengthen him up after
he has lost his health.
Every time the horses are worried
their days of usefulness are shortened.
A horse that never gained his liberty
by breaking his halter will never become
a halter-puller.
Large nostrils indicate good breathing
power, good lungs and good constitu-
ton.
Horses which are judiciously fed and
well groomed will stand double the
amount of hard work that they would
under careless feeding.
Road dust is valuable absorbent and
is good thing to keep around stables
in which the stalls are inclined to be-
come damp or wet.
When confined in stables, which at best
Is an unnatural condition for colts, they
should not be compelled to stand upon q
hard floor of any kind.
