SMALL We WRITE UP THE PANAMA
TRIP?


It's debatable question in our
minds whether-to continue the Pana-
ma trip letter series or break off and
say no more about it. If we write
the trip up, and we took notes along
as we went with that intent, we will
certainly be accused of egotism by
some and no doubt tire others before
can run all the letters. and # we
don't run them perhaps there will
be some interested who will be dis
appointed. AS we are in the news
business and went to qualify our
selves to better serve our readers, we
are going to run the first two risks
and pop the letters In, one week,
but make the promise now that
there will not be but three or four
of them. Will wind the series up
with the current month. There were
several egregities in the one ran
while. were away, this unavoidable
where the writer of an epistle does
not get to read his own proofs.

How many there are who would be
unhappy if they could not find some
thing to be miserable about.

BE careful how you speak of wo-
mans character. Think how many
years she has been in building it, of
the toll and privation endured, of
the wounds received, and let no sus-
picion follow their ections. The pur.
ity of woman is the salvation of the
race, the hope of future greatness,
the redemption OF man. Wipe out
her purity and man sinks beneath
the wave of despair, with no star to
guide his life into channel of safe
ty. Think then before You speak, and
remember that the hog can root up
the fairest flowers that ever grew, so
the vilest man can ruin the prettiest
woman's character.

The best pleasure is the purest
pleasure. There are roses without
thorns. The busy man must have
some pleasure, some recreation, some
relaxation. He ought not to have it
on the streets with gossipping chat
tiers, or at the gambling table with
the dissolute or wanton. He ought
to find it at home. He ought to do
something in which his family could
have part. 1t ought to be pure
elevating, stimulating. The man
that is so considerate and equiposed
that will make this matter no sec
ondary affair, but give it the best
thought of his life, will make q bet
ter man, a moral citizen, more con-
siderate husband, more loving father.
He will find his family ties strength
ened, so that as his children grow to
manhood and womanhood, no place
will be so attractive to them as the
freside at home These are the
pleasures that remain, that do not
wlther with time, that do not grow
bitter with the years

Mrs. Hartman Worlds Richest Woman
Mrs. Edward H. Hartman is the
richest woman in the world. A con-
servative estimate of the estate left
by her husband places it's value at
S220000,000.
When the will was read, following
the funeral of the railroad magnata.
the value of his possessions was pl"ced
at $149 0UG 0C0. From a Trustworthy
source it is learned that the real yalue
wa over S20O,O00.0O0 at that date
TIL" discrepancy in these figures is ao-
counted for by the same informant in
this manner: Just before his death
Mr.. Hartman trans. erred to his old
est sen, Walter A. Hartman, and Mrs.
Hartman about $5000o,00O worth of
rtocks, possibly the financier's Union
Pacific holdings
The balance of his property was left
to Mrs Hartman by the will probated
in Orange county. n. Y.
Mrs. Hartman is therefore the rich
