PROPOSED PANAMA HIGHWAY.
A Road for Motors May Skirt the Banks
of the Canal.

The Royal mail boats. the Hamburg
American boats. the French and Italian
boats all bring their quota of tourists and
sightseers onto the isthmus. every one
of whom seems 10 be carried away with
the magnitude of the work going on and
with the conditions as they find them
1t would not surprise me if. in the near
future. because of the magnificent eli
mate and of the natural interest that is
being conferred in and about the isthmnS
on account OK the building of the canal.
Il great winter resort should be builded
mp here, and especially would this be Il
fOregone conclusion if good roads should
be constructed clear across the isthmus
along the route of the canal. Roads are
being constructed upon both sides of the
lSthmus by the iSthmian canal commits
sion Mileage is not very extensive and
there seems to be no tangible movement
toward extending the roads now being
constructed across from Colon to Pan
anna. The distance is only about forty
seven miles and if a pike should be laid
out and well macadamized, there could
be no more beautiful highway imagined
for the driving of automobiles and horse
highway vehicles, especially so if the
highway should skirt along the banks of
the canal and the numerous lakes which
will be formed thereby, so that the piano.
ramic view could be maintained in all its
beauty. There is just enough rise and
fall to break the monotony, and at the
same time afford easy grades for vehicles
TO move upon.
This is the only highway in the world
where one could crcSs from the Atlantic
TO the Pacific ocean in two hours time.
1t is also the only place in the world
so far as | know where the sun seems
to rise and set over the Pacific ocean
viewed from the land. 1t is also the only
place in the world, if MY geography is
correct. where a town on the Pacific
ocean lies east of another town located
upon the Atlantic ocean. as is the case
with Panama and Colon. 1t would be n
splendid thing if the isthmian canal com
mission would construct a road from
Colon to Panama.-New Orleans Plea

Then strange thing happened. To
the horror of the spectators Mrs. Chic

down the steps OF her booth to the lions

~ on the head, and, having in this way
secured firm grip of his name, she
dragged him along, i'll spite OF his feeble
resistance, till she met the professor.

said, cheerily, as a bright smile lit up
her chubby features. "You shouldn't let
a valuable animal like this run loose.
Somebody might ha thrown stone at

BRIGANDS OF TONKIN.
Lives of Native Soldiers Too Precious to
Risk Against Them.

The outlaws of Tonkin whom the
French called pirates are properly speak
ing brigands who infest the country both
on land and water.
One of their resorts is the province of
Bacninh. where they have just muir
dered Il French officer. There the brig
ands openly and successfully defy the
forces of the government. Long i'm
punity in that quarter has made them
numerous and formidable. This need
arouse no wonder, considering that the
troops in the field consist of native sol
diers whose lives are too precious to be
risked in frontal attacks on brigand fast
neSSeS.
Just before the murder of the officer
a band of brigands made its appearance
on the railway line between Hanoi and
Bacnih and inflicted loss on some ma
tive levieS who encountered them Upon
this the resident sent for a detachment
of native regulars to deal a blow at the
enemy. The troops met the brigandS
intrenched in Il village, one house in
which they had turned into a fortress,
so to speak.
The commander of the troops found
himself in fix. To send the regulars
across the open to carry the strong
hold by storm, under heavy fire from the
brigandS, meant heavy loss and certain
death TO many of his men to little pur-
pose The only alternative was to blow
up the house along with its garrison
But this resource failed him from no ex-
plosives being at hand. The result was
that the brigands escaped.
a Haiphong paper rightly wonders
why the troops in the field are not sup
piled with melinite bombs. Such engines
of destruction would save much loss of
life among the soldiery operating against
the brigands.
Yet no bombs are supplied to the
troops, though the brigands have often
defied them safely from fortified houses,
which the troops would not attack from
fear of loss of life not worth while
to incur against outlaws
The result of this weakened policy
is that the brigand bands in that sec
tion of Tonkin increase steadily in num-
bers and strength. Pessimists say that
in time they will become too many to be
terrified by melinite bombs.-South

THE SPARROW.


Written for the Evening Wisconsin.
The sparrow twitters all day long.
Except when in his nest,
And thinks his twitter "A song
OF all bird songs the best.
He does not stop when eating,
Or qnarreling with his mate,
Or other birds he's beating
That rouses up his hate.
As a fighter he is plucky,
That all the sOngsters know,
And regard themselves as lucky
If in combat he's laid low.
The cold of winter nor the heat
OF summer does he dread,
But hops and twitters at your feet,
AS he looks for daily bread.
He's always fat and saucy too,
And does not seem to care
What any one may try TO do
To scrimp his daily fare.
Nor does he love himself the less
Because he's loved by few,
And never's had the sweet caress
OF little Birdie Blue.
But still we'd miss the little pest,
With all his hayward ways,
Were he to cease to be our guest
In the cold and wintry days.
when other brides southwark Fly
To n more congenial zone,
He remains. the little spy,
To cheer us when alone.
So build away little sparrow
Build your nestle in the tree,
For tho sometimes you do harrow
Our feelings-you are free.
And freedom is the richest boon
OF birds as well as men
But often yielded up too soon
And never found again.
