This is but one incident of the festas. Similar
and stranger things are constantly happening in
that wonderful little country, which is nowadays
of much interest to all. The dusky native eats
made of native vegetables within a stones throw
of the Tivoli, where long tasteless, and very
American menu is served Sturdy little naked
black babies romp almost under the hoofs of the
handsome American turnouts in the Savannah road.
Here Past and Present seem to meet. Naturally
there is friction Different ages could not live side

are bound to agree in time And, as the two oceans
touch the Panamanian will shake hands in gratitude
and fraternity with the American.

PANAMAS INDEPENDENCE DAY FIESTAS

Finally two girls, obviously
American from their easy stride
and stylish clothes, hearing the
noise, looked around and found
themselves in the direct path Of
the frightened animal. They fed
in different directions. The bull
picked out the one with the bright
est dress and chased her. She
stepped into an open doorway-all
doorways are left open in Panama
for just one second Then, as the
bull was passing, she darted cut
and, Selling the trailing rope at
tached to his horns, held it. She
managed to withstand, without fall
ing, toro's abrupt halt. He tossed
wildly; but the girl contrived 20
keep back of him, holding tight to
the rope. The bull turned on her
and charged; but she had not seen
two bull fights for nothing, so she
leaped from side to side, making
the big animal constantly change
his direction, as she had seen the
toreadors do She kept this up

batting, and take part in it too In the evening the
men dance first at the club balls and afterward in
the Plaza Central. where the characteristic native
dance the cumbia, is in full swing until three or
four O'Clock in the morning. Usually, all this con-
tinues for three days. Last year delegation was
sent to the Presidents palace with petition asking
leave to celebrate for day more, which Obaldia
the acting President, granted.
This last and extra day of the festas, November
e. found the city out but anxiously striving
to keep up the appearance of a gaiety it was even
too drunk to feel. The bull batting in the Plaza
Herrera had struggling attendance, consisting of
the shabby populace, the picturesque Spanards,
and the red neCktied whisky sodden Jamaica
negroes. The better people and true sports did
not bother to watch; for they knew what to ex-
pect. During the festas they kill the bull,

Turing a stay in the city Of
l. Panama it is far more inter
esting not to live in the American
part. Ancon; for from the heart
of the old city one is able to
see and study the life of the natives

more satisfactory and enlighten-
ing than the casual glimpse the
average American tourist is afford

American porch of the screamingly
American Hotel Tivoli.
1t is indeed interesting to view
for the first time the festas with
which, on November 3, the Pana-
manian celebrates his indepen-
dence from Colombian rule with
the same reckless enthusiasm that,
up to four years ago, was reserved
for November 2S, when he was
accustomed to rejoice in his free
dom from Spain.
At first glance, it is hard to
perceive why the independence
should be celebrated for three
whole days and nights of carnival;
but a closer acquaintance with
the immoderate temperament of
the natives makes it quite natural.
They drink, and make merry, and
masquerade in the public streets

Originated by Aristophanes and Re-

Punctuation by means Of stops and
points, so as to indicate the meaning
OF sentences and assist the reader to a
proper enunciation, is ascribed origi-
nally to Aristophanes, grammarian
of Alexandria, Egypt, who lived in the
third century B. G. Whatever his sys-
tenn may have been, 1t was subsequent
~ neglected and forgotten, but was re-
introduced by Charlemagne, the varl-
GUS stops and symbols being designed
by Warnefried and Alcuin.
The present system of punctuation
was Introduced in the latter part of
the fifteenth century by Aldus Manu-.

sponsible for our full stop, colon, semi

marks. These We're subsequently cop
led by other printers until their use
became universal.
Most ancient languages were inno-
cent of any system of punctuation. In
many early manuscripts the letters
are placed at equal distances apart
with no connecting link between, even
in the matter of spacing, an arrange
ment which must have rendered read

A DRAMATIC CLIMAX.
Effect of Ono Woman's Pathetic Eyes
Upon Jury.

Upon Jury.
James IT. Brady, who was one of
New York's greatest lawyers, was once
counsel for young woman in case
Involving an attempt to break will.
His client sat by his side. She was
a very beautiful young woman, whose
eyes seemed always to rivet the atten-
ton of those upon whom her glance
fell. There was pathetic expression
which affected every one. She sat
watching the jury during the course of
the trial, and Mt last there was some
complaint that she was attempting by
means of her glances to excite the
sympathy of the jury.
Then Mr.. Brady arose and in one
Of the most touching and beautiful of
-all the addresses he ever made in court
spoke of the blessings which every one
who had an appreciation of beautI-
full things and could see them enjoyed
and dwelt for some moments upon the
happy lot of the jury who could see
the budding of the fowers-it was
then springtime-and the charms of
nature. Then, suddenly turning to his
client, he said, "That blessing is denied
my client, for, though she has eyes
which seem to look upon you, gentle
men, there is no vision in them, for
her sight has been taken from her"
She had been, in fact. the victim of
total paralysis of the optic nerve,
which had not impaired the beauty Of
her eyes, but had given to them that
singular pathetic expression which she
was thus falsely charged with EN-.
ploying that she might secure the sym.
pathies of the jury.
