10 years of age will be welcomed.
There is no sDeciaI charge for Such

sary preparation"

JOHN r. STEVENS. along" The man
who IS digging 1.-The ditch" Chief En-
gineer John F. Stevens, is an impor-
tant parsonage at Panama during pres
idential visits or at any ether time.
He can WELD big stick as effectively
as even the president himself, as he
has shown upon numerous occasions
He does not stand for red tape when
there is something that needs to be
done on the spot. This was illustrated
about eighteen years ago, when Ste
vens had charge as an engineer of
railroad construction gang in the west.
The work progressed satisfactorily
until fellow possessed Of more enter
prise than principle appeared upon
the scene to profit by trading upon the
vices of the laborers. He erected a
rude shack and stocked 1t with vile
whisky. The men, having no other
place in which to amuse themselves or
spend their money. patronized the sa-
loon so freely that the gang soon be-
came demoralized.
The saloon was not located on rail-
road land, so Stevens had no legal au-
thority to rid himself Of 1t, and ex-
postuiation with the proprietor, who
was coming money faster than a gov
eminent mint, was of no avail.
Finally Engineer Stevens made a
personal visit to the saloon and en-
gagged in conversation the proprietor.
when are you going to leave here?"
demanded the railroad official
when l get good and ready" was
the surly response of the saloonist
'I am going now" laconically re-
forted Stevens. and so saying he drew
from his pocket a mammoth dynamite
cartridge. scratched a match on his
corduroy trousers, ignited the fuse.
threw the missile Of destruction behind
the bar and ran. The saloon keeper
decided that he was quite ready to go
also and didn't argue the proposition.
In thirty seconds the shack was blown
from the face Of the earth, and bust
ness was not resumed at the old stand.
DR.. Manuel Amador, president Of the

although in 1869 he AAAs e. 0oh''
was elected to the presidency Of what
was then the state of Panama. he
never took office, as revolution came
along and prevented him from doing
so. He is a Liberal and, although a
member of the Roman Catholic church,
believes in separation of church and
state This is a leading issue on the
isthmus. He is a man of learning, and
the Panamans know that he took
many risks in connection with the rev.
Olution which resulted in the separa-
ton OF Panama from Colombia. When
fellow revolutionists deserted him, the
decision and courage he displayed
achieved the success OF the movement
for independence.
Years ago, when Panama was a part
OF Colombia and DIR. Amador had been
active in opposing Conservatives. he
was warned of conspiracy against
his life. AS the story goes, he escaped
his enemies by having himself packed
in a lard barrel and shipped across the
isthmus.
The presidents visit to the isthmus
calls attention to the fact that the re-
public Of Panama, though small geo
graphically, occupies a position of i'm
portance among the other republics of
the great commercial highway OF the
future on which it is located. The
post Of United States minister to this
