THE MAGIC PENNY.
It Helped Sore Thumb and Taught
 Harold a Lesson

It Helped q Sore Thumb and Taught
 Harold Lesson.
 Harold had splinter in his thumb He was only three and half, and the sight of sharp needle which his fa- ther brought to dig out the splinter terrified the little fellow.
 Coaxing was useless Mothers prom ise that it would not hurt did not stop the tears. At last mother said cheer fully, "If you are a brave, good boy and let papa take it out, he will give you penny
 AS if by magic the tears were dried. With the valor of soldier he held out his thumb, and the silver was out in a jiffy. When Harold then got his re- ward he first squeezed it hard in his little fat hand, then looked at 1t low ingly, wrapped it in paper, put it in bis treasure box, took it out again to see if 1t was really there and finally de- cided to go to the candy store and spend it.
 Sister Alice took him. He was em barrassed by the variety of things he could buy with his penny-two bar Der pole sticks, four round drops, chocolate mouse or a lemon candy pipe. What he chose was one barber pole and two round drops. These he gen. erously divided with his sister and went home feeling very happy. When he kissed his mother good night the startling thought came to him that he had not given her any of his candy.
 "You forgot both papa and me, Har- old, dear. What are you going to do about ii? P
 Harold looked very sober for min ute; then his face frightened up as he said: II know. I'll get splinter in my other thumb and let papa take it out. Then he will give me another penny, and all the candy buy will be for you and papa

Senate Committee Gives Rea-

Conclusion.

Washington, d. c.. May 17.-That
the earthquake that destroyed San
Francisco was an important factor in
determining the vote of the senate
committee on the interoceanic canals
in favor of the sea level type is appar-
ent from the fact that feature of the
majority report is the discussion of the
effect such an earth wave might have
on the locks and dams. The majority
report in favor of sea level canal was
submitted today by Senator Kittridge.
Gives It's Reasons
The division among the experts as
to the best type is treated by the re-
port which says the conclusion has
been reached that the following propo-
sitions are irrefutable:
That the ideal canal is the one at
sea level
That it's construction would be at
tended with no more. probably with
less, hazard than one with locks and
dams on doubtful foundations.
That sea level canal is safer and
more convenient than one with locks.

QUAKE HELPED SETTLE CANAL TYPE

That it would take but little longer
time to build
That it is simpler and more econo-
omical to operate and maintain.
That in the event of serious seismic
disturbances the damage to the lock
system would be far greater and not
so difficult of repair as a sea level.
The opinion is expressed a sea level
canal can be realized in 10 to IL years
