An irate citizen says that here after he wants the editors to mind their own business. My dear Christian friend, did you ever reflect in your contempla-, tive moments, when the moon is beaming, when the whipporwill sings in the black jack, when the hired man snoreS in the loft, the yellow dog has peeled of his bark and the mosquito puts m his bill-did you eyer reflect in such times upon the idea of a paper containing only accounts of the editors own private busi- ness-that it would be apt to prove monotonous to the general public? They might stand It for a while, but Tn the end it would be a thorn in the side and a wea- riness to the flesh, and all that sort of thing. No, brother, the the true editors business is to make everybody's business his business. That's business. So there's no use in making @ chron, ic kicker of yourself for anyone.

News comes officially from Colonel Geothals, the chief en- gineer of the Panam9 Canal, that the work will be completed and that ships will pass through the canal in the year 1915, or within six years from now, and this in- formation is given notwithstand- ing the fact that there are land slides of large dimensions falling back in to the canal along the Culebra Cut. These land slides were to be expected. They occur in all excavations, and in new cuts and in a region of torrential rains, can not be avoided. In time the steep sides of the Canal, where it is cut through the the mountains, will be terraced and overgrown with vegetation and these slides will, in d great measure st least, be obviated. It is interesting to note that the locks now building are no feet wide and a thousand feet long. These dimensions are such as will admit the largest "Dread- naught, or vessels even two or three hundred feet longer and twenty feet wider than the Lusi- t3nia

Keep Your Boys off the Streets.

Some people think it a mys- tery that notwithstanding good advice, their boys grow up to be wild and reckless young men. If these boys were taught from in fancy that home was the proper place for them after dark rather than prowling around the streets annoying sick and we'll people alike, much of this mystery might be explained, and young men with better moral character and more intelligent minds would be the result. No parent need expect pure morals in boy that prowls the streets at night, even If be does go to Sunday school.

The American Japanese "agree
 ment," as it is called here, or
 treaty" as they call it in Europe is one of the most important of the many important accomplish
 ments of Secretary Root during the two years that he has been chiefest in the councils of the ad- miniStration. It is now known that the British Government, in the first instance, and then the German Government and the Russian and French Govern mentS were all consulted and gave their hearty approval of the agreement and indeed it is difficult to see how they could do otherwise, since the agreement looks to peace. prosperity, com merce, equal rights and the open door to all nations in the Orient. The European press is of the opinion that the agreement means an alliance for military and naval operations when the American and Japanese Governments agree to communicate with each other as to the advisable measures in event of the disturbance of the STATUS QUO. The objects of the agreement are so laudable that the nations not only do not take offense, but heartily approve.

A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE.

There is no more suggestive
 or beautiful sight to our eyes
 than that of an elderly married
 couple who. trustlngly and low
 ingly together, have walked the
 rugged ways of life from youth
 to old age, and now hand in hand
 and heart to heart are patiently
 and hopefully waiting upon the
 hither shore of time for the
 sound of the boatman's oar to be
 borne across the river. We look
 back along the dim vista of
 years to the halcyon time of
 life's sunny morning; we witness
 their plighted VOWS at the altar and see them go forth in the
 pride of youth and the glory of their young welded lives to the struggles of existence. Many Godspeed and kind word of cheer fall upon their ears as they go out from beneath the parental roofttree that is to shelter them no more forever. Before them lies new world of experiences, of joys and sorrows. of grand successes, and perhaps of sad failures. But strong of purpose and resolute of will, and with life'S sky rose tinted with the flush of dawn, they move on and enter upon this, to them, unex- plored world of experiences. We see them settled in their new home. Perhaps it is a log cabin in the wildnerness, with neigh
 bors few and far off, or maybe in cosy little cottage in some distant town. The husband is bravely bending every energy to the task of mastering the hard conditions of life, and home and a name in the world, and se- curing if possible that independ- encc which shall relieve them of the possibility of want. To the wife's rosy cheek has come the pallor of the agonies of mater nity, but now her eyes are bright with a new hope as she caresses the tiny form that nestles in her bosom. And then comes added care and heartaches as the years glide away. We see them with streaming eyes and pleading lips bending over the couch of their darling as it's little life fut- ters away, and it's eyes grow dim under the touch of death S icy fingers. But anon, time pours it's gentle balm into their wounded hearts, and the bitter trial and loss which they thought they never could endure fades away into a tender memory:
 Again we behold them, and as in the long ago when they went forth into the world, now their own noble sons and daughters, burdened with the unsolved prob lens and untried responsibilities of life, follow in their footsteps; and soon their home is left unto them deSolate, save in the con- panionship of their own souls. 1 We'll for them if they have with in themselves treasures of cul- ture and character that shall | supply their dearest need. We'll | for them if schooled in that beautiful philosophy that ena- Oled St. Paul to say: 1T have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith" They too can feel in their souls that they have done the best they knew, and that now they will trust the good Father for all that is 10 come

Delightfully."- quaint are all the super
stftions concerning water. and one
which never fails to send little thrills
along ones spine is that which holds
that, If water is taken with soup, the
drinker will cough in his grave. A
lively quarrel is said to be the result
Of two friends washing their hands in
the same water; and while water pour
ed on the doorstep ensures prosperity,
water thrown out viii soon give cause
to weep. Pleasant indeed for the
maiden is the belief that every time
shs spills water her lover thinks upon
her; but for the housewife the splitting
of water foretells that, ere she can
dry it up. her house win be full of
callers.

CHEW GUM IN COURT.
Western Judges, Lawyers and Jurles
All Addicted to Habit.

The prevalence at important trials
here and elsewhere seems to have had
the somewhat unusual result Of boost
ing the business of caterers to the
public fancy in several directions.
"Dementia Americana Sundaes" and
popular dramatic productions based
on municipal corruption plots are not
the only things that have thrived on
the general interest in the progress of
these trials. Another result has been
the breaking Of the gum chewing mo-
nopoly. long accorded to the telephone
and shop girl, for the habit has spread
amazingly. II was begun locally with
the Jurors in the graft trials. Forced
to sit through long hours for five or

practice spread to the members OF the
juries which have followed, and now

the court rooms where any Of the
trials are in progress will see a room.
