lie WORE.

Q EARTH thou hast not any wind
that blows
Which Is not music; every weed Of
thine
Pressed rightly flows in aromatic
wine;
And every humble hedgerow flower
that grows,
And every little brown bird that doth
sing,
Hath something greater than ITSELF
and bears
A living Word to every living thing
Albeit hold the message unawares
All shapes and sounds have something
which is not
OF them: Spirit broods amid the
grass;
Vague outlines of the Everlasting
Thought
Lie in the melting shadows as they
pass;
me touch of an Eternal Presence
thrills
The fringes of the sunsets and the
hills.

DRY of Ellwood Wilkins, his nephew,
who died on November 20, 1918, at

The sun was brightly shining,
In the beautiful sky above,
AS a mother sat watching over her

One that everyone loved.
The tears rolled gently down her
cheeks.
AS she kissed her darlings face.
For he was no longer playful
And no one could take his place.
Just at the close of day,
When the stars were peeping
through
He laid his head upon his breast,
And closed his eyes of blue.
He had only reached the age Of four
And was his fathers pride,
But he was far away from home,
The moment that he died.
He wore a smile upon his face,
When the angels called him home,
From the ones he left behind him
Unto the great white throne.
He is gone, but not forgotten
For his memory fingers still,
But when our Maker calls us,
We must all obey his will

there had been heroic band of them
throughout the trying days before the
tropical terrors had been conquered.
Early in his connection with the
canal Mr. Stevens discovered that
practically all the material in the Guile
bra cut would have to be blasted be-
fore it could be handled by the steam
shovels. He had to be careful in Sc
lectiug dumps so as to insure that they
would not become an obstruction to
any type of canal or route that might
be selected.
The high wages and salaries for
which the canal zone is noted originat-,
ed under Mr.. Stevens So bad a name
had been given the isthmus in the past
that extra inducements had to be made
to attract workers, free quarters, pay
from 80 per cent to 60 per cent higher
than in the United States and a rate
of 500 from New York to Colon on
steamers operated by the government,
with other perquiSites, being some Of
the advertised attractions. Besides, in
the latter part of Mr. Stevens regime,
the United States was enjoying uneX-
ampled prosperity, the palmy days be-
fore the panic of 1907. Mechanics and
all kinds of workers could obtain EN-
ployment at home at high wages and
would not come to Panama unless for
the unusual inducements enumerated,
and, in addition. vacations with full
pay. sick leave on pay and cheap food
and other necessaries.
Although the French had abandoned
the idea of a sea level canal in favor
of Il lock type. there still was good
deal Of life in the idea among the
American people. For one thing, a sea
level canal was so much more easily
grasped by the popular mind, and then
all engineers concede that 1t is the
ideal canal where it is practicable In

this point of pruCticabilitv.
