TO WIDEN LOCKS.
IsthmIan Canal Commission RecOm-
 mends 100 Feet.

Washington. Jan. By unanimous decision the Isthmian Canal Commis- sion will recommend to the Secretary of War that the locks on the canal be constructed at their present protected width. namely. one hundred feet. hold, ing that this will be ample for all commercial shipping for years to come.
 If, however. 1t is the Judgment or the navy department and or the Presi- dent that the proposed width be in- creased to 1lO feet, this can be done at reasonable cost and it Is believed without danger of structural weakness. The suggestion for increased width originated with the navy, where among some of the officials the opinion pre- vails this may be necessary to meet naval development in increased beam of war vessels of the future.

ON THE
HORSE
TRADER,

this old sorrel was the fact that just
before he would begin to balk and stop
dead in his tracks the right ear would
fly back and stay there.
And just before he intended to start
again the left ear would fly back and
join the right ear.
Then as the old sorrel went joyously
on his way once more both ears would
stand out straight, and all would be
well
The old sorrel always made these
signals. rain or shine.
Another peculiar fact was this, that
once the old sorreTs nose was pointed
for home he never stopped but went
like the wind-when it isn't blowing
very hard.
Well, off goes Will Hodge to Her
man Shulz to inquire about horse,
and Herman bitches up the old sorrel.
While hitching Herman starts in to
explain what a clever old beast the
sorrel is, and by the time they get
started out of the barn in the buggy
Hodge has an idea that he is riding
behind Sysonby's stepbrother.
When they got out about half mile
back went the sorrePs right ear. and
Herman said quickly: Whoa, whoa,
boy! Whoan'
or course, the old sorrel intended
to whoa anyway, but Hodge didn't
know that.
Then Herman would point at the
scenery with the whip and describe
it. all the time watching the old sor-
rel's left ear for the starting signal.
Presently back went the left ear.
and then Herman would stop describ-
ing the scenery. and with loud "Ged
dap" the old sorrel would start on
once more.
At the end of another half mile
back would go the sorrels right ear.
and Herman would yell "Whoa!" and
then say: Here on the right 1
would like to point out to you the
Methodist orphan asylum, and over
there is Chase & Pendleton's cele-
brated sash factory. Over there on
