NIT their bodies to the earth and garland their
graves with the flowers of the tropics. The bleak
old walls throw their shadows across many of
the last resting places of these natives who have
laid life's burdens down and crossed over to the
other side.
1t was with a feeling of sadness and reluc-
tance we left this place, so redolent of memories
of bygone time-but there were other things
to see-so with sigh Of regret we passed out
and forever, from the portals of this once glori-
GUS cathedral and went forth into the tropical
jungle. Here are to be seen the remains of the
foundations Of the residences and business houses
The friendly vegetation seems to be endeavor-
Ing TO cover over and blot from the memory of
the world these remaining evidences Of the cruel
and heartless deeds Of the men of distant age
who brought wreck and ruin to this erstwhile
magnificent city.
And how came it about that this city was de-
stroyed? Long, long ago, Sir Henry Morgan, an
Engllshman-the most noted buccaneer of all
t1me-gathered together all the pirates that in
tested the Caribbean sea, to the number of 9 600
and sailed forth In quest of gain First he at
tackled Old Providence, an island that iuts
abruptly out Of the waters of the sea-and the
place where many of the terrible West Indian
hurricanes are born-and after much hard FIGHT
Ing conquered the people and took what they
had. Thence he and his thieving band went to
Porto Bello and robbed that city; and then after
they had squandered their ill-gotten gains in riot

it was populous place, and said to have been
having come from the gold fields of Peru and
been stored there by the Spaniards.
And so it came to pass that Morgan and his
band OF bold buccaneers fought a great battle
with the Spaniards who inhabited Old Panama
and the surrounding country, and won the VIC
tory-though at a fearful cost. Hundreds of his
men were slain, while it is recorded that 5000
spaniards perished on the field After this VIC
tory Morgan and his took possession of the
city, robbed the people of all they could fnd and
then set fire to the houses It is said that the
cont1agrat1on lasted an entire week. Not house
was left standing-only the blackened walls Of
the once splendid castle and the wreck of the old
cathedral remain to tell the story of the frightfu
havoc that was wrought by these murderous pi-
rates Of that distant day. ~.
The old city was never rebuilt-the former
inhabitants who escaped the sword of the inva-
ders moved eight miles further down the coast
and located on the spot where the popuous Pa
mama City of today is standing.
In the quiet hush Of the late afternoon we left
the place where once stood the rich and prosper
GUS Old City, and as we returned to it's success
sor, the New City Of Panama, we looked back
and could still see in the distance the grim old
castle lifting its gray turrets skyward high above
the surrounding country; and-well it stands
there today as 1t has stood through the centuries
gone, silently testfying to the barbarous and in
human conduct of the boldest and most daring
buccaneer of all the ages. -s.e45 -.

Hon1ely Face Her Fortune

There are lots of instances where beauty is
invariably beaten to the job when freckles may
defy the massage parlor grade of complexion
How about the commercial demand for the un-
decorative? 1t is even very great, the agents say
The stenographer of one of the busiest man
ayers OF a large manufacturing concern in Chi
cago supplies at least partial answer to these
queries. She is sallow and sandy, freckled and
spectacled. Each eye is watery and shows ten
dency to peer in through the windows of the
others soul. She's got streaky neck and a.
strlngy figure. She has bony knuckles. She goes
in where she should go out and out where she

clasp knife. For long time his attitude was
mystery to his friends, who were all enabled
to become humorists through the inspiration of

OUR COASTAL CITIES.
Greedy Atlantic Said to Be Slow
Iy EnguIfing Them.
Government Geo'osist Declares That
in Time Coast Cities From Bos.
ton to New Orleans WiI
Be Under Water.

.Boston.-The time will come when
that coast line of the United States
which boasts such cities as New York,
Boston, Baltimore, Washington and
Galveston will be 500 miles out to sea
and those cities will have been sub
merged. The whole Atlantic coast. is
slowly sinking into the ocean. So rap
i'd is the sinking that evidences Of it
and measurements of it within the last
decade are now to be had. That the
rate of the sinking is being accel-
Grated, and that it may be much fast
er in the future than it has been in
the past is the claim made by G. A.
Davis, government geologist, who has
of late been piling up masses Of evi-
dence in this connection
He holds that there is no need on
the part of the residents of the coast
cities to scramble to the housetops
today or tomorrow. But, as sure as
the geologic tendencies which have
gone on unchanged for hundreds of
work continue, the people of the ma
tons great eastern cities will be grad
ually pulled beneath the water level.
Biologists have long recognized the
fact that the Atlantic coast line was
once much farther out than it is now.
There is line from 100 to 300 miles
off the present coast at which the Wa
ter suddenly gets much deeper. Out
to that. distance the water is generally
some 800 feet deep. Then it plunges
suddenly and becomes ten times as
far to the ocean bottom. The men of
the coast survey have traced this line
throughout the length of our coast line
and find it similar all along The ge-
ologists say that the continent once
reached out this far and that here was
the coast line. But a gradual de-
cline through the ages has caused that
line to retreat until now it is where
we know it.
From a geological standpoint this
has happened in comparatively recent
times. 1t has all been done since the
