A Perilous Ride.

1t was just too lovely and romantic
for anything! For two long, beautiful
weeks of glorious summer weather,
Bings and his wife floated down the
Wisconsin river in great, roomy
boat, camping, fishing and foraging to
vary the outing.
By day birds sang to them from
the leafy banks. minnows darted past
in the ripples, and the nodding flow
ers along the brink made the voyage q
fairy-like drift through a veritable
Eden
And on moonlight nights, when the
stiffness was heavenly, when the
starry skies added their poetic fan.
cies, when the soft and subtle moon
shed its effulgent glow in streaks
across the way, it was like floating in
. dream down river of silver!
Arriving at their little fiat, after II
was all over except the telling, they
retired, weary, but enthusiastic.
Yet tired as they were the psyche
logical hallucination of drifting, drift.
ing, drifting pervaded their dreams.
Strangely both seemed affected. Bings
turned restlessly in his sleep and his
haif-open eyes set his Quasi-drowsy
brain to strange nautical rambling.
Through the window the moon was
shining in reflected rays upon the
plate glass in the mirrored dresser. To
his befuddled brain this was naught
else than moonlight on the water
and he drifted!
At this juncture Mrs. Bings cried
out wildly in her sleep:
Dear, the rocks! The rocks. Push
off the rocks! Oh, can't you stop US?
Quick! The rocks!"
Bings was prompt in action. In
his semi-awakened state, he exerted
wonderful strength, and showed
against the wall until the be-castored
bed made sharp move to free itself
from the rapids below.
The movement awakened them
both.
"Oh. mercy. what foolishness!"
gasped Mrs. Bings, here we are at
home in our own little bed!"
We'll, I'll be jiggered," exclaimed
Bings, "if we haven't a bad case of
the bug"
Then he got up, showed the bed
back against the rocks" and got back
into the boat" again.
When telling of their visit to the
Dells of Wisconsin, this is an omitted
chapter-except to most intimate
friends.

GREAT CU[EBRA GUT
IS SCENE OF BATTLE BETWEEN
MAN AND NATURE.
More Dirt Being Exeavated Now
Daily Than During Entire Month
of July, 19o4-conquest
of isthmian Jungle.

Washington.-Ther are those who
have wondered whether, apart from
the tropical weather, the difficulties
cles of Culebra cut were not over
estimated.
But when it is remembered that
this nine-mile strip, varying from $50
feet to the top Of Gold Hill, west of
Culebra, is composed of rock, slime,
gravel and tropical dirt; when it is
borne in mind that the existing prism
Of this canal is subject to frequent
landslides, and when it is considered
that this region is washed by tor
rental rainfall which exceeds II feet
yearly, some realization of the diff
culties presented will be possible.
1t is one thing to blast and shovel a
million cubic yards out of Culebra,
but it is another problem so to place
the excavation that it will be out of
the way for all time or so to place it
that it will protect the canal channel
on the lowlands of the eastern portion
Of the waterway.
The investigator at Culebra, as on
other portions of the ditch, is i'm
pressed at the outset with the fact
that the railroad is the key to the
| situation both from an engineering
and sanitary standpoint. This canal
cannot be constructed upon a trunk
sewer plan. All of us have intelligent
| friends who seem to think that it is
only necessary to eXcavate and throw
the dirt along the banks of the water
way. But as the tourist obtains his
first view of the cut at Empire he OBJ
serves that the rapidity with which
the dirt trains are enabled to move
out is the measure of the days
| achievement.
Through this region, in order to as
sure a prism of definite width, it has

Suppose that you and I. my dear.
Just pluck the blossoms as we go:
Just idle down the rosy ways
And Gull the flowers as they blow,
And on the turnpike as we plod
Toward the duties that are ours,
Suppose we look for things that cheer
And help US through the working hoursi
l know the briars lean across
The paths we two must tread to-day,
But If we turn them softly back
And list the lark's sweet roundelay.

And by our paths, all wet with dew,
VIII bloom the fragrant buds of peace
BY far more happiness than rue!
Why should we stumble o'er the stone
And bruise our feet upon the clod
When off the path is velvet grass
And verdure fashioned by our God?
So let us wander where the way
Is tinged with violet and rose,
And close our eyes to blighting things
That flourish where the thistle grows!

been found necessary to increase the
proposed width from time to time as
one landslide followed another; and
while that increases the total amount
of the excavation it renders possible
the placing of tracks one above an
other to accommodate the dirt trains
During the month of July, 1904,
$1,000 cubic yards of dirt were exca-
waited at Culebra cut; one year later
the monthly excavation was upward
of $4,000 cubic yards, and during the
month of July, 1906, $4,000 cubic
yards were removed from the nine
mile strips.
1t is worthy of notice that on March
IA, 1907, the daily excavation was
greater than the amount shoveled out
during the first month of July cited
The present monthly excavation
varies between six and eight hundred
thousand cubic yards, and with the
passing of the rainy season 100000
cubic yards month will be the as
sured excavation record.
But back of this record of monthly
excavation and as preliminary con-
dition essential to the present eff
cheney of the Culebra army is the
story of the conquest of the Isthmian
jungle. The canal cut proper has been
constant source Of trouble to y the
health division. In many instances
outlets for drainage are impracticable
and the water supply can only be
ditched in one pool. The progress of
each steam shovel leaves in it's train
new and varied drainage problems.
This has necessitated constructing
pools by filling in, deepening bitches,
conining the water by rough stone
thus turning all the water into the
main ditch, where it forms a swift
running stream unfavorable to mos
quito breeding. Drip barrels of oil
have been placed at points where the
current slowed down, and this, COM
bined with the rapidity of the current,
has reduced mosquito breeding in the
canal cut to minimum.

Der Of cases in the different camps is

announced till the convention meets

tailed vote from enough of the locals

show that Lewis has carried every

A detailed vote from AZ out Of 800

TO FIX BANKERS CONVENTION
Date for Meeting Of American Asso-
citation to Be Selected.

Lakewood, N. j., May 4.-Mem-
bers of the various committees of
the American Bankers Association
met today at the Laurel-in-the-Pine
hotel and will remain in session for
three or four days. The principal
matter to be decided is the selection
of place for the next national con-
yention of the association. Invita-
tions have been received from com
mercial bodies of Saratoga, n. Y,
Denver, Colo, and Hot Springs, Ark.
The invitation from Saratoga is rein
forced by promises of support by
the bankers of Albany, Schenectady
Troy and Glen Falls. Consideration
of the matter was commenced today
by the executive council, and a de-
cision is expected late today or to-
morrow. AS the national convention
of bankers was held in the east last
year, there is apparently an inclina-
ton to seek the west this time. Chi
cago has been mentioned as the pos
sible place for the gathering, and
may make strong bid for the meet
ing at today's conference. The Windy
/ City has not had a convention since
the worlds fair year.

Fort Wayne, Ind, May Am un-

at from Is to 25, lost their lives in
a fire that destroyed the New Avelyn

only be conjectured
The hotel register was consumed
by the fire and there are no accurate
means of determining who is miss
ing,
The complete destruction of the
interior of the hotel makes the work
of recovering bodies one OF multi
piled difficulties. A confused heap OF
charred wood, bricks and twisted
sirders is piled up between the bare
walls of the second story. Piece by
piece this must be removed before
the roll of the dead can be complet-
ed
Some of the BODIES taken out are
mangled and charred beyond recog-
milton and the work of identification
| is in these circumstances task al
most battling.
| The hotel was erected half a cen
tury ago and the woodwork was dry
as tinder. 1t burned like matchwood
and within a few minutes from the
| time the fire was discovered, the
whole interior of the hotel was a
mass of flames that filled the corri-
| dors and rooms with suffocating
clouds of smoke and laid fiery bar
riers across all means of escape save
by the windows. The fire department
rescued many by means OF ladders,
but some frenzied by the onward
rush of the flames leaped from high
windows to the paved street.
