The first impression that flashes
through the mind of the visitor to the
Isthmus of Panama is that of the eN-
cesslve heat. One usually inquiries
if this particular day is a fair exam
pie of the tropical climate 1t is
whether one journeys there in winter
or summer, spring or autumn, On
the Canal Zone there are no seasons,
save eight months of rain and the
remaining four of comparative
drought, throughout the year "a de-
grees F.. is the average temperature.
The nights, are considerably cooler,
and prosuatiOns from heat are prac-
tically unknown.
Everything on the isthmus, except
the government buildings, the steam
shovels and the canal itself, appears
on a small scale. The houses, the
shops, the horses and carriages, the
natives, themselves, especially the pO-
licemen, are small. If horses were
sold by weight the owner would be
well pleased should his animal reach
the 55O-pound mark The streets in
Colon and Cristobal, on the Atlantic
side, are small and narr W. In Pan
anna, on the Pacific side, conditions are
similar, except that there are side
walks, whereas in the former towns
sidewalks are the exception.
The ground is Isteaming, always
steaming. The mind never fully
ceases it's establishment at the verdure
and variety of vegetation. In his gar
den at Samoa Stevenson has said that
the weeds grew foot high overnight
/ At Panama, ! believe, they must grow
/ two feet. One of the commission mer
/ told me that if a path were cut
/ through the underbrush, it was diff
cult to trace the line a week later
Orchids and ferns are growing from
the tree trunks, trailing vines drooI
from the branches and sweep alonG
the ground, while runners that have
taken root in the earth are graspins
again for the topmost limbs. Clan
trees spring from pools of water II
all the landscape there is nothing
brown, even a rock, barred to the
weather, quickly gathers the greer
moss. There are so many seeds t.
each foot Of earth that it seems they
must crowd each other to be born, t
grow, and fight for foothold. The
fruit of the date palm, the cocoanut
and the banana is rlpening in thu
native forest. Parrots fit here ant
there among the treetops, while, {
few miles back from the Zone, mon
keys are forever calling and chatter
ing to one another On every sid'
lies the jungle, wild, impenetrable
uncOnquered.

would come bustling into the White
House and want to see the President
not for any real reason, but merely
that he might go back to his constitu-
ents and tell how he was received by
the President, and what he said to the
President, and what the President said
to him, etc
Lincoln would size up such a man
i'm a half a minute, and he could get
rid Of him in another minute, not
bruskly, not by waving him aside not
by suggesting that he was too busy to
be seen at that particular time; on
the contrary, before the upstate poll.
tician would have a chance to tell
what he thought of the Presidents
policies Mrs Lincoln would start in on
a droIl story and when he finished
the politician would be laughing so
heartily he would forget all about
what he was going to tell the Presi-
dent. Then his hand would be grasp
ed by the President who would at
once turn to his desk, and the poll
rician would find himself leaving the
White House more than satisfied with
his call, which had lasted two min
utes instead Of two hours, as he had
expected.
SO well satisfied were people in
general with Crooks devotion to
President Lincoln that it became his
agreeable duty to act in his official
capacity for no less than forty-six
years and to serve as body-guard for
seven other Presidents, the last of
whom was Cleveland. Like Lincoln,
the latter was much pestered by busy
bodies of all kinds, but unlike him,
he was unsuccessful in his methods
of radiance Says Crook in conclu-
sion:
l recall one delegation of charming
women from the South who walked
into the Office during the busiest OF
all mornings, fully expecting to have
an audience with Mr.. Cleveland, and
perhaps a long talk. 1t was impossi-
bic at that time for the President to
see these ladies; they went away
greatly disappointed and highly indig-
nant, the leader saying: For years
we have been praying for a President
of the Democratic faith, and l do not
see why he will not see us today.
Why, he is our own President and we
must see him! Is this the reception
we are to expect after waiting for so
many years?"
