President Roosevelt to Visit
Panama
TRIP TOBE MADE INOCTOBER
A Cruiser Likely to Be Used, and Taft
and Shonts May Be in the Party
The Western Trip Has
Been Abandoned.

Washington, June 20 President
Roosevelt will visit the isthmus Of PAN
anna To make d personal investigation
Of the work Of construction of the PAN
anna canal. This announcement was
made at the White House late SatuI-
day afternoon BY Secretary Loeb after
4 conference with the President. II Ii
expected that the President will leave
Washington for Panama the latter part
of next October on ID the early days Of
November. He will he absent about
three weeks, The trip probably will
be made on one Of the big cruisers of
the navy, but what vessel viii carry
the President and his party is not yet
known. None OF the details OF the
trip has yet been worked ont Beyond
the bare decision to make the trip,
the President has reached practically no
conclusions. IL is likely he will be nc
eompanied on the Journey by Secretary
Taft and Chairman Shonts Of the Pam
anna canal commission. but even this
has not been determined definitely. The
President long has desired personally
TO Inspect the route OF the canal aud
to make himself personally familiar with
the undertaking OF constructing the wa
terway. II Is the expectation that the
President will be able to spend at least
a week on the canal zone.
In connection with tile above an
nouncement, Secretary Loeb said the

cisco al that time. For several weeks
the President has been contemplating
the matter of making Il trip next spring
through, the middle West. touching At
points in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illi-
nois, Missouri, Oklahoma and perhaps
other states. He had hoped TO make
the trip in order to attend the com.
mencement exercises OF some agFicsiI-
tural colleges and state institutions.
Since the announcement was made of
the likelihood Of such trip, such a
mass of invitations has been received
from almost every state in the union
that the President finally has decided
not to make the trip at all. II became
evident that II he should accept one.
tenth of the invitations he has received
the trip would occupy two or three
months. The probability is that he
win 20 next May to Lansing. Mich,
to attend the semi-centennial ceiebra
ton of the establishment Of agricultural
colleges in the country. There he will
meet many Of the prominent educators
of the country. The trip win be brief.

Mrs. TOWnsend's Ruse

[Original.l
It was necessary that Anita Town
csnd should marry fortune. Her an
cestors had been rich for many years,
aud now suddenly the decision Of a
lawsuit against them had made them
poor. But Anita was especially averse
to angling for rich husband. Not SO
her mamma. Mrs. Townsend was an
angler In deep water-that Is, her hook
was not visible from the surface. She
determined to supply her daughters
deficiency.
Arthur Beaverton was the catch Of
the season. He came Of good stock and
had an income Of $4,000 year Mrs.
Townsend concluded to concentrate
her diplomatic skill on this one victim.
Brewerton had shown some preference
for her daughter, but it was generally
understood among bis acquaintances
that he was quite satisfied with the
freedom OF single life and had no idea
Of exchanging 1t for the restraints Of
niatrimony, "a gentle pressure was
necessary to force him to take the
hook
AT the Flemings' dinner party. with
cotillon later Ia the evening, both
Miss Townsend and Mr.. Beaverton
were present. The party being young
peoples affair, Mrs. Townsend was not
at first invited; but, not wishing to let
slip any opportunity TO further her
daughters interest, she declined the
invitation for Anita on the ground that
she always chaperoned her. This
brought an invitation for the mother.
At the dinner table Mrs. Townsend
sat on Mr.. Brewertons right, his din
ner companion being on his left Anita
sat directly opposite. During the din
ner Mrs. Townsend catching glimpse
Of mans shoe under the table beside
Brewerton's shoeless right foot was
struck with its small size. Indeed
since the toe had got turned toward its
owner at first glance she thought 1t
might be her daughters, but instantly
she remembered that Anita wore kid
slippers.
Now. Anita Townsend had weak
toe joint on her right foot Her mother
borrowed pencil from Mr.. Beaverton
and a bit torn from a~letter, wrote on
II. Better relieve the joint, dear" and
handed II across the table to her daugh-
ter. Anita wrote on the other side Of
the paper. II have and handed Ii
back. After this Mrs Townsend leaned
far back In her chair. SO that her legs
projected far under the table
The dinner finished, the ladies arose
and departed. Then when the men had
finished brief smoke they also left
the table for the ballroom. where the
musicians were already tuning their
instruments. Arthur Beaverton slipped
his foot into his shoe and rose with the
rest. At the dining room door he en-
eountered Mrs. Townsend, who told
him that her daughter wished to see
him a moment Ia the red room to ar

II The raising and curing OF clover hay
is one Of the most important things
northern farmers have to handle. No
little difficulty Is experienced in get

ing a good crop well cured 1t Is about
all we can expect In this climate. The
man who manages to secure the crop
in best possible condition should be
able to forecast the weather conditions

United States. The old adage, Make
hay while the sun shines" is all right
and a good rule To follow. writes q

because of his apparent discrimination
against workingmen. Instantly there
came Kisses from all parts of the room.
Charges were preferred against him.
The offender was given a formal trial

been away from the others for some
time after dinner and for canse Or
causes unknown had got mixed as to-

The Townsends' carriage was called.
and mother and daughter left for home
without again appearing In the ball

TO endure the battery OF eyes leveled
upon him, begged his partner to excuse
