Penelope was young and pretty. No

thought Of making an assertion that,
by any possibility, could be construed
as contradictory to such PLAUSIBLE

The Countess Cassini at the bazaar
that she recently held in Washington
for the benefit of the Russian Red
Cross was conversing with the rather
elderly wife of Senator when third
lady drew near.
"How do you do, Countess? Mrs.
Blank, how do you do?" said the third
lady. And then she added, in a spite
full tone: "You look older to-day than
usual, Mrs. Blank
Poor Mrs. Blank blushed, but the
Russian Countess came to her rescue
gallantly. -
"Well," she said, laughing, why
shouldn't she: She is older to-day
than she ever was before in her life.''

Got Some of His Own Medicine.


John w., Yerkes, commissioner of
internal revenue, is telling a good
story on himself. Like many Ken
tuckians, Commissioner Yerkes some
times chews tobacco. Shortly after
the PRONUNCIATION, by his own order,
oil the rule that all tobacco must be
kept in the original boxes until it is
sold, he went into store in Wash
ington and asked for a piece of his
favorite brand. The clerk handed it
to him, and as he tried to cut off a
mouthful it crumbled into dust.
What is this that you're giving
me- he asked, "punk?'
1T is pretty dry" replied the clerk;
"but we can't help it.. We used to be
able to take few pieces out and keep
them in a moistening box, but some
darned fool up in the internal revenue
office decided that that was illegal,
and we can't do it any more. Beats

writings have become very popular in
the enlightened circles of Central and
South America, the versification Of
the patriotic sentiments of the Pana-
manians, and to S. Jorge, A., the III

composition of the music.
On an old-style piano-said to have
at one time been cherished property
of Simon Bolivar, whose powerful
baritone voice was accustomed to it's
accompaniment in songs of the lib.
erty to which he devoted his life
the Panama musician Jorge played
over the music which came to his
mind as he read the lines placed be-
fore him by Senor de la Ossa. Page
after page of the verses and music
were destroyed before a union of ex-
preston was accomplished that con-
formed to their artistic and patriotic
ideals.
When the distinguished guests of
the government of Panama were as
sembled, the new hymn was played
for the first time by the Republican
band, being rapturously and fervently
acclaimed by the military and citi-
zens and enthusiastically received by
the Americans and foreigners present.
The words of the anthem follow:
Alcanzamos por fin la Victoria,
En- el campo feliz la Union:
Con ardientes fulgores de Gloria,
Sc ilumina la Nueva Nacon.

The new Republic of Panama now
has a national anthem, the original
manuscript of which, bearing the au-
tograph Of the composer, is in the
possession of Dr. r. A. Amador. the
consul general of Panama in New
York.
The conception of the hymn was
almost as sudden as was that of the
federation itself. Until the 18th day
of May the people had no song to give
adequate expression to the patriotic
sentiment toward the new govern
ment. The following day-the 18th
an official reception was to be ten
dered to the commanders of the
American and European men-ofwar
lying in the roadstead, to the dip]o-
matte corps, and to the officers of the
United States troops quartered on the
isthmus. AS the Republican band of
Panama, consisting of fifty pieces, is
stationed at the capital to furnish
music for ceremonious occasions, the
entertainment was deemed a proper
moment for the introduction to the
world of musical composition that
would ever afterward be the recog-
nized national anthem of the repub-
lic
With characteristic Latin-American
impulsiveness, conference was
called a: the Palacio, in which the
political, literary and musical author
tiles of the isthmus met, and after
lively debate, lasting throughout the
evening, it was resolved to intrust to

Governor VanSant of Minnesota
is now reaping the reward that
comes to those who have the cour-
age and backbone to withstand OPP
position to what they believe is
right and their duty. In the re-
cent merger decision handed down
by the United States supreme court
the merger was declared illegaland
void and North Dakota had the
same chance as Minnesota to make
fight against the merger, but Gov
ernor White on the day set to attend
meeting of the governors of the
states affected by the merger de-
clined to be present, although he
had accepted Governor VanSant's
invitation. Although we do not
receive any of the glory won by
Minnesota and her governor, we
are glad that our neighbor state on
the east had governor that had the
backbone to put up such winning
fight.

The Washburn leader., 1904-03-19

Col. T. A Schneider, of Mercer
county has announced his candl-
dacy for one of the railroad CON-
missioners of this state. Col.
Schreiber is now county auditor Of
Mercer county and one of the most
active republicans on the Missouri
Slope. The Colonel says that hav-
ing always been a faithful adhe-
rant and advocate of men and
measures by the leaders of Morton
and other counties on the slope, he
now believes it a good time for
them to reciprocate and support
his candidacy. Mercer county is
now part of the Mclean county
legislative district and our county
ought to stand by the Colonel in
this campaign. The reasoning Of
Col. Schneider in relation to the
position that the other counties on
the slope should take is so potent
and unanswerable, we may expect
a united slope for Col. Schneider
for railroad commissioner.
