yIistral, the Poet, Building His Tomb.
Nearing his eightieth year, Frederic
Mistral, the Provencal poet. is still
young in mind, happily far removed
yet from the sixth age of Shakespeare,
says the Paris correspondent of the
London Standard. Nevertheless he is
preparing his tomb. 1t will be put up
In the cemetery at Maillane, near his
house. 1t is to be copy of the well
known Pavilion de la Refine Jeanne at
Baux. The care taken by the Proven
cal poet to make 1t beautiful will be
remembered for generations among the
neighboring peasantry. 1T Is, after
all, the tomb that is the house we live
longest in; we must have It beautiful"
Mistral said the other day when some
body twitted him about his hobby.
And he does the work himself with no
mean skill, refusing all aid. But at the
same time, busy as he is with his tomb,
be still finds leisure to write. He has
Just sent his memoirs to the press, and
they will be published in q few days.

HIS TIME HAD COME.
(From Success Magazin

1t is one of the amiable traditions
OF the senate of the United States
that no new senator shall make set
speech till he has served a year or
longer. Old members are very impa.

by newcomers.

Vermont, once allowed it to be under.

pubac life. Idaho had just been ad-
mitted as state, with the privilege
OF electing senator's, the one for a
long term and the other for a short
term. A Mr.. Mcconnell drew the
short term, and, having but two
months to serve. proceeded to make
the best Of it. The day after ne had
been sworn in, he took up a position
in the middle aisle and, in a fog-horn
voice, made his speech.
While he was holding the fort Mr..
Edmunds entered the chamber. He
stopped short and gazed at the speak

Then he made his way to his seat
and, leaning over to the senator next
to him, asked: WHO is that person."

Engineer Vogt's
Unique Scheme.

In connection with the proposed
canal across the Florida peninsula a
unique scheme is proposed by AL
bertus Vogt, c. E. writing in The
Tampa Tribune, which is nothing less
than diverting the gulf stream through
the waterway. Mr.. Vogt says, among
other things:
| am sure, If sea level canal were
cut across the state, beginning on the
gulf side and at the mouth OF the
Withlocoochee and following that
stream to Pannasoffkee. and then by
Adams Prairie to Lake Harris, and
the Ocklawaha and ST. Johns to the
Atlantic, the gulf stream would fol-
low the canal. All of Florida south OF
the canal would be thus made into a
tropical island. and the warm water
thus conducted across the state would
produce semi-tropical climate up
into Georgia.
After discussing the value such a
canal would be to the country through
which 1t passed, referring to the wis.
dom of nature in preventing the
escape of gulf waters into the Pacific

have been demonstrated to his entire
satisfaction that no Germans were

no bearing upon the cases at issue.
