The Isthmus of Panama does not
belong to the English, never did, and
there are not many real Englishmen
there. Yet the presence of a large
number of British subjects-the ia
maican negroes-has forced on the in
habitants an English custom, that of
vehicles taking the left side of the
road. Probably this is due to the fact
that most of the cab drivers are ia
maicans. All the people of that island
are intensely proud of being subjects
of King George, and they are tenacious
of such British customs as they know.
Every cabby in Panama and Colon

hearing in MRS. Blake's separation
suit is due 10 come up in Part l., Su-
preme Court.
Mrs. Mackay is said to be so thor
oughly incensed at the whole pro-
ceedings that she will refuse to let
the controversy drop now, even
should the alienation suit be with
drawn.
The crux of the case, according 10
the view of acquaintance, is Mrs.
Blake's desire to get her husband
back. She has said that she wanted
him more than anything else DR..
Blake has made plain his intention
not TO go back to her, although he
has said he will do anything in HIS
power TO suppress the proceedings.
THE motion for alimony will be
heard today" said Russell II. Lans-
dale, of counsel for Mrs. Blake, "un-
less the hearing is adjourned to suit
the convenience Of counsel"
1t is said that Mrs. Blake has re-
ceived letters from clergymen all
over the country, indorsing her posi-
ton, and that Mrs. Mackay has re-
ceived an equal number of protesta-
tions of loyalty from her friends and
sympathy from strangers.

sensational acts and features pre-

The arena has been in use
from the earliest ages and its
popularity has never diminished.
The great changes which. how

it into a civilized instructive
spectacle, instead Of a perfor-

Lions have always played a

two monster forest bred African
lions, presented in an act direct
ed by the celebrated German
trainer, Herr Roth, known the
world over as the lion king.
Lions were led as trophies in the
triumphs of semi-barbarans and
sacrificed by thousands in old
Rome.
History fails to record that
any lions were ever trained bv
the Asiatic peoples. 1t was in

ity Of man over animals, to tinan-
