IN CHARGE OF PANAMA CA
NAL CONSTRUCTION.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 97..-Senator'
and members OF Congress who appear
to be unusually eager to dispose o
the President as potent factor in thu
next presidential campaign are talk
ing now Of what fine thing 1t woult
he to nut him in charge ontthe con
srruction Of the Panama canal aftel
his term has expired,
They point to the fact that 1t was
largely due to the Presidents intiu
ence that the Panama route was Sc
lected. They feel that posterity viii
consider the great waterway a Roose
velttan enterprise and they declare
that it wo1ld be a splendid thing FOL
Mr.. Roosevelt to be the directing In
fluence in its construction.
Some engineers estimate that 1t vii
require from 3 to II years to com
p,ete the work, while others declare
that the canal cannot be ready for use
for from 12 10 Is years at the earliest
The statesmen who are talking this
way say that the President knows o.
their veiws and has never said he
would declyine such tender. Friends
of the President laugh at these sug
gestions,

Sousa's Originality.

Sousa is nothing if not original. In the twtnty-fifth year of his career as band conductor, he has, without ques- ton, heard larger amount of music Gay for day than any other musician the world knows. A careful calcula- ton shows that he has appeared in rot less than 5000 concerts, and has conducted not far from 100000 com positions, counting repeats. Every imaginable harmonic and orchestral combination have come under his di rect and sympathetic notice, yet he las been strong enough and original enough to ignore them all and write compositions in the march form that are so different from all others, that instantly their peculiar qualities are recognized. The leading music cit ie of Berlin. Germany, put it this way: I've can always place our finger on a Wagnerian composition and say. This is Wagner: Likewise, We must admit that one detects Sousa march and is forced te say, This is Sousa.' At the Elks soon.

"Harry Beresford. i"

Our comedy lovers are advised not to miss the opportunity of seeing Har- ry Beresford, who is billed to appear on our local stage in the near future ir the new and delightful play "The Woman Hater' No play on the stage today, it is said, has taxed the r;si- oilities of people more srongly than this great funmaker. Tn the title role Mir. Beresford has scored a complete triumph. With all it's absurdities. it's ridiculous climaxes. it's humorous lines, the play is so clean and whole some that even the most fastidious need not fear having their enjoyment marred in the slightest degree. The company with which Manager J. J. Coleman has surrounded his star is said to be one of the finest on the road, and the play one of the most satisfactorily presented in every way.

----UsPO-- THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is m
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most etnc1ent disinfectant and purifier in nature but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; 1t Is not drug at all, but simply absoros th' gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on ions or other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im' proves the complexion, it whitens tht teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfec1s the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probaly the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condi- ton of the general health, better com plexion, sweeter breath and pure blood, and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of , the benefits of charcoal says: T ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stom- , ach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the ] use of them; they cost but twenty-five liver is greatly benefited by the daily ce1 box at drug stores, and al though in some sense a patent prepa, ration, yet believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

OUR NEW STORY.

To succeed "The Adventurers' as a serial story, the Graph.c has secured "Hesper," a realistic story of the Rocky mountains from the graphic pen of Hamlin Garland, and illustrat- ed by Parker It describes a serious strike in mining camp in Colorado, and relates that very unusual love af- fair between Miss Ann Rupert and Robert Raymond. It is a thrilling story but wholesome from beginning to end
 "Hesper" is the story of New York society woman who went to Col orado with her invalid brother. Most of the action takes place in a mining camp where strike reaches such proportions as to require the interven- tion of United States troops. Hesper meets the hero, young man who had been expelled from West Point, on a ranch where he is cooking at the mo- ment. He falls in love with her. fur, nishing the only element needed to keep the interest at fever heat. It IS a great story and one which can be sent with confidence into any fami- ly. As the Portland Pacific Baptist says it is wholesome from beginning to end.'
 Hamlin Garland has earned repu- tation for realism wh ch few authors today enicy. He knows thoroughly the phases of American life depicted in his stories and gives his readers pictures of the great west as reliable as they are vivid.
 The New York Tribune review ng the story says: "Hamlin Garland has published through the Harpers q nov el called .Hesper.' which deals with the conditions of a miners strike in the Rocky Mountains. Mir. G rland Was born in Wisconsin of pioneer pa rents ana has passed all his life in the western states. He keeps in touch with tho region by extensive travel every year. \ year age he had covered. in somethins over two years, a5ooo miles of travel. often roughing is through the west. On one occasion, on prospecting tour through the Rockies, he covered 500 miles of hard trail, part of which lay through the snow."

TIE HABITS OF THE RABBIT.

One morning after a light fall of snow, during my walk through the fields and woods I saw a rabbit track and a mink track together. I follow ed the trail to see what had happened. 1 had not gone far when l discovered tufts of rabbit fur upon the snow; a few yards further and there were drops of blood, the rabbits leaps grow ing shorter and shorter, and in few moments I came upon the halfde voured body of the rabbit lying in the oneu. That the mink had run the rab- ht down and caught it was as plain as the snow record could be. There was no hiding under the snow by the mink and not the least evidence that the rabbit had been surprised. Rab- bits see behind them quite as readily as before. and no animal could steal upon moving rabbit at night and not be seen.
 And rabbits are always moving at night. It is a nocturnal animal. It does not sit in it's form at night to be stalked by it's enemies, or to be taken by any sapping or mining pro- cess. In daylight weasel might steal upon it and seize it in it's form. but not by night. In my part of the country the rabbit runs to hole in the win ter and passes the day there. The boys catch it with ferrets. The minks and weasels catch it in it's hole and alone. My hired man, who is an old hunter, tells me he once saw upon the snow where a mink had brought ,o rabbit out of hole and carried him a long distance to his den. He follow ed the trail and saw by the imprint upon the snow that every little while the mink had to lay down his burden and rest.

Mir. Paige as Rip.

So long have Amer cans held to the feeling-whether instinctive or as a logical conclusion matters not-that Rip Van Wrinkle belongs by right of inheri ance to the Jeffersons, that it is with a sense of dubiousness super induced by prejudice that he sees an- ether in the role of the lovable old vagabond. He feels that the stranger is an usurper, profaning sacred ground in his impersonation, not Of Rip Van Wrinkle, but the Jeffersons,
 Such, doubtless. was the sentiment which largely guided the judgments ot these who saw Geoge w. Page at the Elks Friday night. It would re- quire very large measure of charity for one to declare that Mr. Paige be- longs to the class approaching any de- gree of affinity with the Jefferson, yet, after all, if we but judge him with that degree of charity with which we would cover the ineXperience and the shortcomings of the youthful aspi- rant for stage henors, Mir. Paige makes a fairly good Rip. His inter- pretation has unuuestionably been studied in the Jefferson school, but he lacks traininr. Too frequently he permits his youthful eXhuberanca of spirit to manifest itself too clearly in the character made famous by the staid, stolid. stocial indifference to all save the living present, which made Rip famous in the imperscn tions by the Jeffersons. Paige's Rip is also an anachromism, if such a term is applicable: he is too modern for the setting of the play. With all that, however. MT. Paige is tolerably good Rip-even if one has never seen Jeff erson.

Negroes Should Diversity Their
Politics.

Why don't the Negroes over
the south, like the Negroes
north, divide their politics be-
tween the Republican and demo
cratic parties? That will be the
best thing we know for their re-
demption, politically. Southern
Negroes are getting along finely
industrially, but they will never
be an important factor in their
national affairs until they be-
come component parts in the
government under which they
live and to which they are sub
jected Negroes should use their
judgment IN local affairs and not
confine themselves to one party,
necessarily. But whatever or
person you support, know that
he stands for fair and just admin
istratlon of the laws and equit-
able distribution of the spoils.
This is applied, primarily, to the
south, which has never taken
but one stand, and received less,
especially in local affairs.
