1t was the twilight hour, and all
A the little folk were at their
HkH&p supper Of bread and milk in the
80 nursery. So the playroom was
80 stu one might hear ones own heat beat.
But pretty soon there was a stir in one
corner OF the room, 1t was John, the
Candy Kid. He was a big fellow to be
made OF candy, Tommy's Uncle John had
given him to Tommy on Christmas, and
he--the Candy Kid-had been named for
the good old uncle who had given him.
John stirred; then he arose. AS he did
so he awoke Molly Anne, the big rag doll,
and Josephine, the fine French doll. Then
In turn Han 0 San, a Japanese soldier doll,
awoke. And he began making things lively
by gathering his sword about against the
furniture.
Come, stop that racket commanded
the Candy Kid, addressing Han o San.
Don't You know your betters7 / wan to
speak, and II you keep up that Internal
racket 1t browns my voice"
"Oh, and who are your dared to ques-
ton Han . San, who 1t must be told,
was really very, very bold and brave. Once
he had rescued Molly Anne from the tiger
OF a Noah's Ark, a fierce animal, who
would have destroyed the dear rag lady
hadn' Han o San happened to interfere
With his trusty sword. And who are
your dared to question Han o San Of the
boastful Candy Kid.
~" And John, the Candy Kid,
Strengthened up till his back cracked.
why, I'm made Of stuff that counts. my
foolish fellow, I'm OF the purest, sweetest
candy that Is mixed, Mr.. Soldier Char.
Now, do you know who am9"
'oh, yes, you're the Candy Kid" smiled
Han o San. Il believe you are very, very
sweet. but ] am not prepared to say how
strong and brave you are. However, wen
not dispute over trifles. But come, what
have you ever done, sir. that you boast
so?'

in an amused way, How absurd you are,
fellow, to ask me what / have ever done.

teenth Street, Lincoln, Neb. Blue Side.
With a great deal Of sorrow l tell you
That my last story is written for the side Of Blue.
Nothing has been such a pleasure as this,
And I'm sure that my stories all of you'll miss.
Though birthdays come only once a year,
This last one of mine has cost me dear;
For, alas, / am now just past the age
OF writing stories for this dear old page.
Farewell! Farewell!
ii,
Farewell, my dear little Busy Bees,
] now will take my ease.
My greatest desire will be for you
To help this dear old side of Blue.
But the other side shant to me seem dead,
Fen though it is the side of Red;
And all the stories I've read and seen
Makes me happy that I'm your Queen.
FAREWELL Farewell!

NEEDED LEGISLATION
 FOR PANAMA CANAL
IT IS TO BE PREPARED AT
 ONCE.
The Idea Is to Secure Trade for That
 Waterway.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The imme- ! diate formulation of Panama legisla- tion was practically decided upon at a conference at the White Houst to- day.
 The conference was participated in by President Taft, Secretaries Knox
 and Dickinson. Senator Flint of Cal
 ifornia. chairman of the senate com mittee on interOceanic canals. and Senator Brandegee Of Connecticut, also a member of that committee and Representative Mann of Illinois. chairman of the house committee on interstate an dforeign commerce. The conference lasted until midnight
 It was agreed that immediate action
 on the canal question was necessary
 in order that the commercial " Jrld
 might be able to plan ahead It was
 suggested that, having a definite un-
 derstanding as to tolls and the trade
 questions involved, active trade would
 be assured for the canal almost on the day of opening.
 Finding concurrence in his opinion that expeditions legislation was nec- essary. Mir. Taft, it is said. concerned
 himself tonight principally with tine trade aspect of the canal rather than with the Qualifications. If the latter subject entered into the discussion at all. it is believed to have been subOrdinated to the matters of tolls, the maintenance of dry docks and. re- pair shop facilities, and stations for the sale of coal, oil and other ship supplies.
 The opinion of the conference, it was said, favored legislation empow- ering the president to fix tolls within certain limits. taking consideration of distance. cargo and tonnage.
 The question whether the govern ment should operate coal yards and dry docks. whether it should pass war vessels through the canal free. and it's coastwise ships and possibly all merchant vessels at a lower rate than those of foreign countries was dis cussed at length in the conference and tentative plans were launched for the preparation of legislation on these points.
 It was argued by some that the United States might not be possessed of the legal right to discriminate in favor of it's own vessels. Sugges- tions safeguarding competition be- tween eastern and western seabOards possible amendments of the interstate commerce law. making it prohibitory for railroads to own or control ships in the canal trade, but | no conclusions were reached.
 Messrs. Mann. Flint and Brandegee. | whose committees will be most con | cerned in the legislation are said tO | cougur in Mir Taft'S idea that imme- diate action by congress. particularly | on the subject of tolls. is necessary in | order that interests now thinking of building vessels and otherwise en- | tering into commerce via the canal, | may be sufficiently informed in ad 1 vance of the conditions thatp robably | will exist when the canal is opened | at the date expected.

 In the tattered garb of a hermit, with his feet protected by sandals, he was arrested at Long Beach this forming for vagrancy. Even here, where a Spanish patois is spoken, Gacias had trouble in finding anyone who could understand him, because his Castilian Spanish was so pure After having been sentenced to 30 days on the chain gang, he was able to tell his story through an inter preter.
 It is that, because of his attentions to a woman of the Spanish court that he was exiled and later returned. only to he cast into jail, where he re- mained until the breaking out of the Spanish-American war. Then he was permitted to show his fealty to his country by enlisting as a soldier for service in Cuba.

Gacias says he decided to seek her. and he says he visited nearly all the convents in South and Central America.

BURIED IN SLAG PILE
 OF Fl PASO SHELTER
Two Dead, Four Probably, and Many
 Injured by Premature Explosion.

Fl Paso. Dec. 2S.-Two dead. four others believed to be fatally injured. at least fifty men, women and children hurt and a number of small houses wrecked were the results of an explo- sion of nearly 4,OOO pounds of powder at the huge slag pile of the Fl PasO plant of the American Smelling and Refining company today. Three men are still imprisoned. The dead and missing are Mexicans and no accurate list of their names can be given.
 Three tunnels had been bored into the slag pile by the Fl Paso l& South western railroad for the purpose of removing the slag for road ballast. There was a premature explosion of powder in one of the tunnels where a gang was at work filling in and back timbering, buried four of the men.
 Foreman John Wilkes. standing near the mouth of this tunnel, was blown twenty feet and suffered a broken col lar bone and other painful injuries. The shock of the explosion caused the slag to slip. blocking the entrances to other tunnels. Just how many men were working in the tunnels is not known, but six were rescued alive and two dead were recovered. Three men are imprisoned but alive, pleading with the rescuers to save them. Four men buried in the tunnel where the eX- plosion occurred are probably dead as they have beenentombed more than nine hours.
 Tonight a steam shovel was placed in commission to assist in reaching those inside the tunnels

ing all the best modern features of hotel construction SD that Phoenix would have a hotel the like Of which would be found in no other city in the United States of the size of Phoenix, or considerably larger. The Unanimity with which the directors have endorsed the plans of the committee indicates that that purpose has been successful ly carried out. There is no excellent hotel feature in this country which has not been embodied in the plans for the Hotel Adams by the committee and Architect Harrison Albright of Los An geles
 At 10 o'clock on the morning of May r when the great Hotel Adams was wrapped in flames. all who witnessed the red devastation never doubted for a moment that a more splendid struc- ture would spring from the ruins. That Is. none doubted who knew J. C. Adams and knew of his untiring en- ergy. But those who knew Mir Adams very well were not prepared to believe that the plans he was forming at that moment would culminate in such a splendid structure as that which will begin to rise on Monday.
