Takjuu a Chance,

Senator Lee S. Overman of NORTH
Carolina, when a young man, was
private secretary to Gov. Vance Of
that state. The governor was can
didate for election to the United
States senate, and his most formida
BILE opponent was Senator Merriman
at that time the incumbent.
In the heat of the campaign young
Overman fell in love with Merriman'
daughter, and prosecuted his suit with
all the ardor of southern wooer. Al
length things reached stage where
he felt that he could no longer con
tinue to hold his position as secre
tary to the opponent of the father Of
his lady-love.
So, in a heart-to-heart talk with
Gov. Vance he confided the true state
of affairs, setting forth that while his
position as secretary was highly ad
vantageous to him from sordid
worldly point Of view, it was web
sacrificed on the altar of love, etc.

Colon, c. Z.-If you wish to hear
language" just say "Cucaracha" to
one of the engineers engaged in build
ing the central division of the Panama
canal
Cucaracha in Spanish means a
cockroach. II the Canal Zone it
means the greatest of the numerous
slides that have made the completion
of the Culebra cut so different and so
expensive. Why that slide was named
the cockroach / could not discover.
Certainly even the Panamanian cock
roach is not SO large, and he moves
much more swiftly.
Before the first French company
quit operations in 1889 the Cucaracha
began to slide, and it first gave the
Americans trouble in 1905, the second
year of their work on the canal. Be-
tween then and July /, 1912, nearly
100000 cubic yards of material was
removed from the canal because of
it. The slide had broken nearly 1900
feet from the axis of the canal, and
covered an area of AZ acres. Last fall
the engineers were cOngratulating
themselves on having the cockroach
stopped, but in January it started
moving again, and nearly covered the
bottom of the cut.
What is going to be the cost of
that slide 10 the United States?" /
asked Colonel Goethals as we stood at
the edge of the Culebra cut and look
ed across the chasm to where the
steam shovels and hundreds of men
were laboring to remove the vast
mass of earth and rock.
We'll, the chief engineer replied, "our
estimate is that by the time it is all
cleared up it will have required the
expenditure of about $5,000,000 more
than the cut would have cost if the
slide had not occurred. 1t is still NOV
ing, and has broken so far back that

When win the water be let into

IL October" replied Colonel Goe-

ridiculous celebration by Ferdinand de

He Had the Fish,

some tale of the amateur.
On one occasion in Kentucky there

a bite. He did not play the fish al

slowly and steadily reeled in his

fish was a mystery.
Pretty soon the fish was directly
below the end of the rod, but the anna

reel and reel, and just as the OBJ

fish's head touched the tip. Then the

HER MOMENT OF PERFECT JOY
When She Wanted 1t, and
Therein lies a Moral.

A girl wearing a gay bit of golden
rod in her coat was hurrying through
the crowded railroad station of ar
EASTERN city one evening, when she
was stopped by a thin little hand
thrust up toward her through the
dusk, and child's cry, Lady, give
me that flower"
1t was not plea, it was not a re
quest 1t was demand, and the
flower was in the child's hands, the
happiness of her sad little face hat
flashed close for an instant and the
quick feet had scurried away into the
darkness before the girl who ha6
worn the goldenrod had time to lool
or think, to give or to refuse.
The flower had grown on a rock by
the sea. 1t was still wet with the mis-
from the waves and the sunset glow
was reflected in its gold. Perhaps the
child had never particularly noticed
the sun, for, except when it was above
the tall buildings, she could not have
seen it. But the desire of all the world
her voice. Perhaps she was very
ordinary little girl, who grew up to bf
a little bigger and then worked in {
factory, and liked to walk up ant
down the streets with the other girls
and show Off her cheap gay clothes
She probably married, and had severai
little girls like herself, and was always
tired and poor, but, as far as she
knew, happy enough.
All that makes very little differ
ence. At least it is the way things
are. The important thing is that once
she wanted something very much, ant
got what she wanted when she wanted
it, 1t is good to want things whether
we get them or not. 1t is better to gel
them. 1t is best of all to get then
when we want them. This was nc
common desire such as most Of us
have every day. 1t was SO strong ant
true and imperative that a tiny CIR
fought her way through great GROVE
of people and without thought or feal
took a flower from a girls coat. Nc
matter what happened to her after
that. she had one moment of perfeci
joy. Perhaps the girl from whose
coat she tore the flower may have
had all good things for hers, but may
never have known the joy because she
never knew that want.
