men, many of whom are perma-
nently MANNED.
These facts have been sedu-
lousy guarded from the public
prints, but that truth Of our
statement can be verified by in
vestigation. White men Of edu-
cation and refinement brave the
peril of fever-infested swamps
and the dangers and hardships
of the primeval jungle upon i'm
portant routine duty because of
the national pride they feel in
the undertaking. There is keen
rivalry in each department of
the organization as to who shall
yield most effectively to the final
national success.
These human sacrifices are not
offered upon mercenary altar
neither are they contributed
for the financial benefit of Eng
lish or Canadian shipping inter-
ests. Some similar impulse
prompted our forbears to throw
British tea into Boston harbor
and to suffer the privations of
Valley Forge.
Convince the American EN-
plOye at the zone that British in
terests will be equally served by
the completion of the canal and
the drill operator will hear less
music in the "chug chug" of his
boring machine, the dirt train
will move more slowly, the steam
shovel will lag and its activities
be indifferently directed, the
water stages of the jungle
streams will be less accurately
charted and the blight of apathy
will rest heavily upon the job.

A Fine Touch.

One of two darkies who run a
bootblack "parlor" in partnership
was Dragging of his well-develop-
ed sense of touch, particularly in
the matter of money. He boosted
that he could tell the denomina-
ton of any United States coin
merely by feeling it. His partner
wearied of these boasts and came
back with this:

New York Journal.
A prisoner newly committed to
the prison was given a position IN

some time. The following con-

Zone.-Among the white en-

Britain to free passage of the
canal for American coastwise

Should the belief that the United
