Hosrds In Bank of France.

Week by week the influx OF gold
continues. This weeks report shows
the gold holdings OF the Bank of
France to be $94. 000, 900 above what
they were a year ago. and $49. 900. 900
above the highest figure ever reached
by them prior to 1908. or the gold i'm
Ported by Paris from the 18th to the
oath OF September, 1854 900 francs
went into the Bank OF France. Yet in
the face OF this movement all recent
bank balances show the continued fall
ing on in commercial discounts and in
bank advances or loans on securities.
So far the gold arrivals have certainly
not lessened the apparent demand for
gold. The Bank of France and the
other banks, in a measure. are SEEM
ingly boarding gold against future
needs. Some say that this is the les
son they have learned from the none

Thoughts.

1t is very important TO cultivate
businesslike habits. An eminent friend
of mine assured me not long ago that
when he thought over the many cases
he had known of men, even OF good
ability and high character, who had
been unsuccessful in life. by far the
most frequent cause of failure was
that they were dilatory, unpunctual,
unable to work cordially with others,
obstinate in small things. and. In fact,
what we call unbusinesslike.-Lor

ONE THING LACKING
WHAT SPOILED TIE PLEASURE
OF THE CLAMBAKE.
Oenatured Function at the Peters

Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Hapgood Burt

Sunday to clambake tende ed them

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Williams.

spring chicken and green corn and
sweet potatoes and seawood and hot
stones and tarpaulin cover and all
that. o, this clambake was right or
it wasn't any.
Now, don't eat anything until you
get at the clans" said Mr.. and Mrs.
Peters.
Yes, save a little coy corner for
the CLANS urged Mr.. and Mrs. VIII
hams.
So the guests obeyed orders. They
arose early in the morning and toyed
with rowing machines and health lifts
and other such laborious inventions to
get up an appetite. and then abstained
from food to be sure that hunger
would be where they could lay their
hand on II when the bell rang down
at Douglas manor.

Down at Douglas manor everything
had the hustle OF preparations. The
spring chickens had all been sprung.
the green corn was on hand. the sweet
potatoes and the seRweed and the
tarpaulin and the other things were
there. 1t was time to get the clans.
MI. and Mrs. Peters and Mr.. and
Mrs. Williams got in the auto and
went down the beach to the mud fats
They were going to dig the clans
themselves. so as to be sure they
would be fresh.
They worked away in the mud for
couple of hours while the tide was out
and gathered about a busbel or more.
Then big sunburned native came up
and wanted to know whose clans they
were digging.
"Anybody's," said Mr. Peters.
Not much; they're mine" said the
native, and he produced a deed to
show he owned the mud fiat. He
would not sell clans. He wanted his
CLANS. He took the basket and scat
tered the bivalves far and wide. Then
he ordered the trespassers off his
ground
By this time the tide was in again
and there was no more clam digging
for the day. There was no real Rhode
Island clambake. There was an ach-
ing void in several empty stomachs.

house and kicked himself

PANAMA to- BECOME
FERTILE FARM LAND?

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 2s.-That
great opportunities in farming and fruit
raising in the canal zone are offered, Is
the opinion of Hugh H. Bennett, Of the
bureau of soils of the department OF
agriculture, who arrived here last night
from Colon and left today for Washing
ton. He and W. A. Taylor, of the bureau
of plant industry, were sent to Panama
to study the soil and vegetation in the
canal zone The results OF several
months of investigation on their part
will be embodied in report soon to be
presented by them to the department OF
agriculture.
1--WE found farming in poor state,
said Mr. Bennett. ''In the whole canal
zone we found but one pillow, and that
belonged to ar American, who seemed
to be doing well. 1 believe that when
the proper varieties of seed are found
that Panama will be able to grow its
own vegetables. Some few kinds OF veg
etables are already being successfully
raised there"
According to Mr.. Bennett, the produc-
ton of coffee, cocoa, pineapples and
sugar cane is capable of great develop
ment in Panama and the canal zone.

HOW GR0CE AND CANNON
WERE SLAIN IN NICARAGUA

MANAGUA, Dec. 29.-Recent reports
that the Americans, Groce and Cannon,
were tortured before being shot, are un-
true. The facts were in the possession Of
the state department at Washington
month ago, and 1t was generally suppos-
ed that any details OF the tragedy had
been given publicity through official chan
nels. As 1t is, advantage has been taken
OF the opportunity in some instances to
paint a picture that was more interest
ing than truthful.
The glory of Capt. Anibal Chaves, who
refused to obey an order to take COM
mand OF the firing squad, is dimmed
somewhat by the light of known circum-
stances. Generals Toledo. Medina and
Irias had implored Zelaya to abandon his
purpose of shooting the Americans.
Zelaya, however, could not be Influenced
and General Toledo finally ordered Cap
tain Chaves not to assume command OF
the squad. Chaves chose to obey Toledo
rather than the president, and as con-
sequence was arrested and held in Jail
for six weeks Upon his release Chaves
made the most of the episode.
1t is also declared untrue that a meet
ing of peace commissioners appointed by
Madriz and Estrada has been arranged
for Saturday.
STORY OF EXECUTION.
Groce and Cannon were notified of the
death sentence imposed upon them at
1870 o'clock on the night of November Is.
They were executed at 10 o'clock the fol-
lowing morning AS they were marched
out of the fortress drizzle of rain fell.
On the way to the scene of execution they
passed the open graves that had been
prepared for them. At one time Groce
f, stepped out of the line of march and
pleaded with General Medina.
DO not shoot me; Lam a brother Ma
son." he said. Cannon quickly seized
his companion and pulling him back into
/ line said:
Brace up. old man. We have no chance
| under Zelaya's orders"
Standing I'm the center of the square
formed by 100 soldiers, the two men heard
their sentence read from the four corners
/ together with the usual warning in such
/ cases.
ANY one displaying evidence of SYM
/ pathy will be shot in similar fashion.
MEN ARE BLINDFOLDED.
The hands of the condemned rnen were
bound and their eyes blindfolded. Cannon
shook his head, attempting to prevent the
/ bandage being placed over his face. but
his protest was unavailing. They were
| seated on low bench side by side. The
I firing squad was made up of II soldiers
| who advanced in three rows within six
! feet of their victims. Capt. Constantine
/ SaHnz was in command and introduced
/ two soldiers lat the right to fire upon
I Grace and two soldiers at the left to fire
upon Cannon.
All four bullets were effective. Groce
was shot through the heart and death
vas instantaneous The bullets intended
| for Cannon tore the breast and abdomen.
He survived his wounds few seconds.
When the body o. Groce was buried a
blanket hid the features. but the body of
Cannon was buried without any protect
ing cover.
