RAINY SEASON IN PANAMA.
Fifteen Feet of Water Falls There
During the Year.

Fifteen Feet of Water Falls There
During the Year.
When 1t Is realized that fifteen feet
of water falls In one season, 1t can be
understood that there Is certainly
rainy season In Panama, where the
fall Is not measured by inches, but by
feet, says Joe Mitchell Chapple in the
National Magazine. One solid foot of
rainfall is a good deal, but fifteen feet
Is almost unimaginable. This is the
season when mud and rain coats form
the topic of conversation, but 1 was
told that the showers come regularly
and occur in the afternoon.

progress that had been made In re-
building the city and arranging or

dlsembark our crew of stevedores at
Fortune Island 1t was amusing to
watch them get off and see the boats

GUESS MADE H1M A PROPHET.
Ponca Indians Believe that White
Deer Ia Seer.

Deer Ia Seer.
White Deer, member Of the Ponca
tribe OF Indians. owes his present
standing Ia The tribe to the fact that
he once made a guess which turned out
to be correct and of which he took adj
vantage to play upon the superstitions
Of his tribesmen, says the Kansas City
Star. He Is now one Of the head men
of the tribe, not so much in the tribal
councils as In the religious ceremonies
He is regarded by almost every mem
Der Of the tribe as being In close touch
with the deity, and his advice Is much
sought by the superstitious ones, and
every Indian is superstitlous to GER
tain degree.
Some years ago, before the govern
ment authorities put the ban on ghost
dances for his tribe, White Deer was
one of the leading dancers. He was
big and strong, and when the popular
ity of an Indian depended upon his
ability to endure much torture and to
dance for long time he stood In the
front rank.
Soon after the Poncas were moved
from the north TO Oklahoma, where
their reservation Is now located, the
tribe was holding a ghost dance, and
as usual White Deer was prominent
among the young bucks who were do
ing the feature part Of the dancing.
After many of his fellows had fallen
from exhaustion he danced on until he
alone was left. Soon he, completely
worn out, fell to the ground uncon'
scious. He lay in a stupor for hours.
After being unconscious for nearly
all of one day he suddenly awakened.
Without noticing any of the members
of the tribe except one, squaw, he
son wanted her to come to him. The
womans son, boy of 8. had died four
years before that time. White Deer
related how he had seen the boy and
how the boy had called for his mother
and wanted her to come to him.
White Deer ended with the prophecy
that she soon would go. Four days
later the woman died. The agency doc
ter diagnosed her case and attributed
her death to fright. The Indians be-
lleved then, and do yet, that her death
was simply the fulfillment of White
Deer's prophecy and that no power on
earth could have saved her. The wom-
an died in intense agony and when she
realized that death was near she ex-
pressed great terror.
Since that time White Deer has been
the prophet Of the tribe He frequent
ly goes into frances and remains uncon-
scious for hours When he regalns con-
seriousness he always has some sort Of
a prophecy concerning the welfare of
the tribe. The most Of the members
Of the tribe believe In him implicitly
and would not entertain thought Of
doing anything against which he has
given his advice.

PEACE CONFERENCE is OVER
8arbosa and Won Bieberstein Shine
Most Clearly.


London-The Hague peace confer
ence is over. Some of the delegates
have already started for home. Since
June Is, when the conference opened
two of the 225 delegates have come
conspicuously' to the front as real
statemen. One is Ruy Barbosa of
Brazil the other Baron Marshal Won
Bieberstein of Germany.
Barbosa came to The Hague I'm.
known. He won his reputation by the
skill with which he championed the
smaller powers cause.
Won Bieberstein was the man chosen
to wreck the compulsory arbitration
proposition, and he looked after the
kaiser's interests we'll.
His reward will be the German
ambassadorship to England when
Prime Metternich retires. Barbosa is
expected to be the next president of
Brazil. He is vice president now.
The British delegation took the
BOBBY prize. Sir Edward Frye. Sir
Henry Howard and Lord Reay planned
to run the conference, blacklisting any
anti-universal arbitration power as a
menace to the worlds peace.
They were repeatedly out-maneu-
vered by Won Bieberstein, and return
ed home with less prestige than when
they arrived.

aware that two people were talking close
to her and that they were speaking Of
her.

And you me?" Audrey added. Don't

Dinner was hurriedly eaten, and Jean
was much grieved for Audrey's sake that
Lord John could not accompany her
After Jack had driven away, the two
girls mounted up to Audrey's pretty bed
room.
You must be my maid tonight, JEAN"
she said, as they sat before the fire for
a few moments.

"Oh, she was very rude and was
obliged to send her away" Audrey an
swered, shade falling on her face.
There have been great many com
plants about her downstairs"
Il hope you told Lord John, Audrey"
she said. mo? My dearest, believe me,
you are wrong-this perpetual attacking
of you. Believe me, if it we're once
known that your husband had put his
foot down, you would find Dinglewood
House would learn how to behave itself"
But, Jean, dear, what has Dingle-
wood House to do with Murray's inso-
lence" Audrey asked, quietly.
More than you imagine, Audrey"
Audrey was silent for a moment.
"Jean," she said, looking up with tears
in her eyes, why is it that they-they
are so cruel? What have 1 ever done to
Sheila Fraser or Lady Daleswater that

You have offended Lady Daleswater

true?"
ASK any one about the place, and
you will find it is but why should it dis
tress you? Remember the time it takes
to make your complexion; and how will
your ladyship have your hair dressed to-
night 2"
Audrey smiled at Jeans grave mimicry
of Murray's voice.
Now let us go down, the carriage is
at the door, and Mr.. Fullerton will be
tired of waiting"
She followed the black and silver dom
inc down the stairs, and then gave a
great start as Willie sauntered out of the
smoking room in his ordinary evening
dress.

A DATE WILL Be SET
To HOLD ELECTION
HagerstoWn to Settle Cues
ton of Lighting.
ELECTRIC PLANT WANTED.

Hagerstown. Ind, July 16-Last eve
ming at the regular session of the city
council, legal notice was given that
on the next regular meeting night.
which is on July Goth, a date would be
set on which to hold the election to
give the citizens an opportunity to
say whether or not Hagerstown as a
corporation shall maintain an electric
light plant. The law specifies that a
town council can not hold an election
under twenty days from the date of
giving an order for such an election
therefore the earliest possible date
that an election can be held will be
on August 10th.
While nothing official was announc-
ed in regard to the date, it seemed to
be the sentiment of the council as
individuals that the earliest date that
the law would allow would be the one
settled on at the next meeting night.
Should the electric light proposition
fail to carry at an election, it is
thought that stock company will be
franchise secured from
the council and the plant run as pri-
vate enterprise so that in either event
the citizens feel sure the town will be
lighted.

w. S. ChenOWeth Has Unusual
Experience With Home
Telephone Company.
COMPLAINT TO COUNCIL.
PROTEST TO THE COMPANY RE-
SUITED IN THE LIBERAL OF
FER TO PAY HALF THE COST
OF REMOVAL.

W. S. Chenoweth owns a home on
the southeast corner of South A street
and the alley running north and south
between eighth and Ninth streets.
About a month ago gang of employees
of the home telephone company drove
up this alley. unloaded an immense
pole and proceeded without parley to
insert it into the side yard of Mr..
Chenoweth's home about two feet dis
tant from his side door. Mr.. Cheno-
weth and members of his household
can squeeze through the door, but it
is impossible to take any furniture or
large objects in or out of this entrance
Naturally, Mr. Chenoweth objected
to this arrangement and he called upon
the manager of the telephone company
one day and requested that the pole be
removed from his lot The manager
that day was in most gracious mood
and in the kindness of his heart prom
ised to remove the Objectionable pole
providing Mr.. Chenoweth would pay
half the expense of this work.
Monday evening Mr.. Chenoweth ap-
peared at council meeting and told his
story to City Attorney Study. Mr..
Study, to the vexed amusement of the
councilmen, told the pole story, where
upon one of the councilmen remarked
that it was positively the limit At
the suggestion of Mr.. Study council or
dered the pole removed and ordered
that the entire expense of the work be
shouldered by the telephone company.

Life Root In ZOd-PhOfd
Proof of the Value of This Important
Medicinal Agent.
FOR WON EN-.
Great Physicians Recommend 1t for
The Cure of Woman's Ills.

The National Standard Dispensary
is a medical work of nearly two thou
sand pages, acknowledged as standard
authority by the medical profession
everywhere 1t was edited by such
world-famed physicians as Hobart
Amory Hare, M. D., professor of thera-
peutics and materia medica in the
Jefferson Medical College of Philadel-
phia, Henry H. Rusby, M. D., of Co
lumbia University, New York. and
others of equal prominence.
This great medical authority de-
scribes the action and use of the best
medicines recognized in the pharma-
copeias of the United States, Great
Britain and Germany, with numerous
reference to others. In discussing the
properties of Life Root, this best of
authorities explains the wonderful ac-
ton of this medicine on the delicate
menstrual organism of women. The
when the menses are too scanty and
painful, and regulates the menstrual
function when irregular or too pro-
fuse. Notice that the effect is to
regulate and restore normal functions
of these organs, no matter whether
the trouble be suppressed menstrual
ton, or it's opposite, profuse.
This medicinal plant, Life Root, with
others of equal value, are found in
Zoa-Phora. Your druggist will supply
you with this remedy, already pre-
pared, compounded in just the right
proportions, and put up in sealed,
sterilized. dollar bottles. Ask him
for Zoa-Phora-no further explanation
will be needed. Each package con-
tains complete and explicit directions
for using the medicine, also a copy of
DIR. Pengelly'S Advice to Women" a
little book of great value, explaining
about the various forms of womanly
weakness and disease and the proper
treatment for their cure.
II you desire more information
about Zoa-Phora, the Zoa-Phora Com
pany, Kalamazoo, Mich, will cheerful
ly answer all inquiries. No higher au-
thority regarding the value and use of
a medicine is known than that above
mentioned. In addition, and to prove
conclusivelyat the most skeptical, the
value of Zoa-Phora, we have the per-
sonal experience of DR.. Pengelly, the
formulation of Zoa-Phora, who used
this prescription constantly in his pri-
vate practice for. many years in treat
ing the various diseases and ailments
to which the delicate organism of
woman is singularly subject.

Verdi and the Priest,


Verdi when a boy had a gift for
Latin. and the village priest advised
him to Become a priest Meanwhile
the lad became an Office boy in Barez-
zi's wholesale grocery store and for n
little over 81 a year played the organ
in the church at Roncole, but one day
it happened that Rev. DR.. Seletti, who
had decided that the boy should be a
monk, was officiating at mass while
Verdi played the organ. The priest
was struck with the unusual beauty of
the music and at the close of the serv-
ice expressed desire to see the organ
ist. Verdi appeared, and the priest
recognized him as the pupil whom he
had sought to turn from music to the
ology.
Whose music were you playing?"
asked Seletti. TT was beautiful"
Verdi said shyly that he had brought
no music with him that day and had
been improvising. $50 1 played as
felt" said. he.
''Ahr' exclaimed Seletti. 81 advised
you wrongly. You must be no priest,
but-a musician"
After that the way was easier. The
priestly influence on his side opened
many a door to him.-London Saturday
Review.
