The Junior Hospital.

Especial to News and Observer)
High Point. N. c.. Dec. pa meet
ing has been called of the Juniors of
the city to decide whether or not this
order shall own and control the Junior
Order hospital. The Juniors of the
town established the hospital with the
aid of citizens but do not own 1t as a
whole, and for this reason the meet
ing is called. 1T is thought that pos.
siblv greater results can be obtained
in several ways by the Juniors owning
and controlling it, thereby causing
more enthusiasm and work among the
members of the order in it's behalf.

stirring events. 1t was in Havana har-
Dor when the Maine was blown up,

The Washington's small boats were
the first to begin picking up the men
from the water, and its crew saved
many of their lives. Over 100 women

Especial Correspondence

Although there is a new flag in Pan
anna, and the affairs of state are in
new hands, life rolls on in its accus-
toned way. The bells in the old tow
ers keep calling the faithful to prayer;
long files of vendors parade the mar
row streets, eternally crying for sale
their frugal wares; buzzards soar in
the hot air or hop on foot in their
never ending search for offal; the
same horde of quarreling women
crowd the market place to chatter, to
barter and to fight; polite men drink
in the cafes and busy themselves with
political plot and counterpart; and
dusky senoritas lounge in cool patios,
dreaming the dreams that southern
maidens dream.
The south is always the south. It's
idle, shiftless children play and par
ley their hours away, and the years
bring little change for them. They
are as aimless as the winds that play
in the palms. 1t is no wonder. The
word tropic sounds narcotic. 1t is
OF no use to resist. You may summon
all your powers of will, but drowsness
touches you with its gentle fingers and
you drift softly out on the sea of
sleep.

The Shade in the Jungle.
Panama has waited long to gain the
center of the stage. 1t is as gray and
worn as an old man 1t has seen
enough sorrow to make a thousand
tragedies. It's green swamp is the
lair of death, where fever, like stink
ing thief, always turks in hiding
Yellow Jack is an invisible horror.
1t advances with noiseless steps and
clutches its victims with fleshless
hand. Ever as it passes there are
dead men and women.
This shapeless, hiding thing, which
strikes unseen, is the real defender of
the bar that God laid down to mark
the separation Of the seas. If it is
His supreme will that the waiting
oceans blend their waters, He must
make strong the arm that is prepar-
ing to strike the barrier away He
must guard the blow that will shatter
the mountains by calling off the shade
that stalks so ruthlessly through the
jungle.
