of Panama, where every foot Of the
underbrush is as thick as a hedge,
scouting parties can't get lost IL they
make their way to hill. The first
night we landed at Colon our ships
began signaling to the squadron at
Panama. sixty miles away. The
searchlight brought the message that
we wanted aid, and the troops landed
and we began the chase after the

"The next morning there were wig

HOST ACTED AS PATCH.
Made Useful to Cover Delinquenciee
of Sofa.

A Virginian whose home adjoined
the early one of Thomas Nelson Page
tells this story of the authors father:
The family, like many other South
ern ones, was much impoverished by
the war, though the old-time hospital
ity was as warm as ever. One cay
guests were expected upon whom Mrs.
Page wished to make good impress
sion, and the furniture and fittings
were furbished for the occasion. The
good danes heart was much dis
turbed by the worn condition OF the
upholstery Of rare old sofa, and she
petitioned her husband to stand be-
fore it when receiving the visitors,
and then to sit carefully over the rag
ged spot. With fine chivalry Mr..
Page greeted the arrivals and dis
coursed entertainingly until the
neighing Of his favorite horse attract
ed his attention, as a stable boy led
it past the window. Then rising, he
said to the guests, "Will you excuse
me for a short timer" and to his wife,
my dear, really cannot act any long
er as patch for that sofa. New

task of commanding firing party of
ten men who executed Boer offi1er
who had broken his parole and after

had assumed the uniform of an Eng
lish soldier and penetrated our lines
after having levanted when on his pa
role.
Every member Of that firing party
has come to fatal or serious grief since
that Friday morning when in the gray
dawn we shot the spy. Sudden death
or a bad accident has befallen each
one.

Saratoga, June 27.-The very name,
Saratoga" brings to every mind
health giving springs, unsurpassed
hotels and beautiful drives. It
has been for many years the
Mecca for all who admire nature,
enjoy good living, and are searching
for health, or are simply taking va
cation.
The Grand Union, the largest sum-
mer hotel in the United States, set
among green trees with its long wings
enclosing court with fountains and
flowers, grass and trees, music and
light, is throughout the season throng-
ed with guests. With the progressive
spirit always shown by its manage
ment, the Grand Union has again add
ed to It's attractiveness by introduc-
Ing acetylene gas to make still more
brilliant the evening hours. The ge-
uial proprietors believe in furnishing
their guests with the best OF every
thing, and now, after investigating
and finding that Artificial Sunlight
can be had. they have installed COM
1t, and have connected upwards Of six
thousand acetylene burners in and
about the house and grounds to this
little gas plant.
Like many discoveries Of recent
years, which are coming into popular
favor, acetylene, one Of the most re-
cent, Is very simply produced. 1t Is
adapted for use wherever artificial
light is needed and the necessary ap-
paratus can be understood and oper-
ated by anyone.
The generator In which Acetylene
Is produced by the automatic contact Of
carbide and water might be termed q
tions OF city gas plant. The acct
ylene generator can be purchased for
few dollars and in any size, from
one adapted to furnish acetylene to
ten or a dozen burners for a cottage,
up to the large but still simple ma
chine such as Is now furnishing
Acetylene for six thousand burners
in the Grand Union.
Outside of large cities the use OF
Acetylene Is quito common. The
owner OF the country home now de-
mands running water, gas and other
conveniences which few years ago
were considered as luxuries, and
acetylene gas has met his require,
ments, and gives him a better and
cheaper light than is ordinarily fur.
nished in cities.
1t is well known that rooms lighted
with Acetylene are more comfortable,
because cooler. and more hea)thful be-
cause the air is not vitiated.
