Some men skate where the Ice Is thin:
Some rock the boat on summer days:
Some cannot swim. but jump right In.
Oh, there are many. many ways
By which men quit this vale of tears
And go to meet untimely dooml
Unloaded guns for years and years
Have cut of men In life's full bloom.
A few men thaw out dynamite
In ovens and are heard no more
A gas leak with a candle. light
Still others seek. and life Is Ger,
While others. cropping in the dark
For something that Will cure a cold,
Drink acid. and llfe's gentle spark
Goes out before it's very old.
All these are tricks that folly breeds,
And repetition dulls them not;
Men still perform such silly deeds
And quit this bright and festive spot
But there's one other bids us pause.
1t ends full many a worthy's days
Some men while playing Santa Claus
Still let their whiskers find a blaze.

is LAST OBSTRUCTION
TO CANAL NAVIGATION.
Engineers With Big Force Opening
Way Through cucaracha Slide.

The task of opening a way through
C%ucaracha slide, the sole remaining OBJ
stacle to the navigation of the Panama
canal, has been carried on as rush
work. since the blowing up of the
Gamboa dixie, according to the Canal
Record.
The engineers have been putting
forth herculean efforts to clear q navi-
gable channel through this nearly half
mile long obstruction. but owing to the
peculiar mobility of the vast mass of
earth and rock the work of hundreds
Of shovels and thousands of gallons of
jetted water is often undone overnight
by a slumping back into place of the
material removed or by additional
slides from the sides of the channel.
A ton and a half of DYNAMITE was
exploded in one blast Oct. 10 without
any substantial result so far as in
creasing the flow of water across the
dam was concerned. Since that date
three shifts of men. working eight
hours each in rotation. have been try
ing to create a channel by sluicin@
with hose and hydraulic monitors. Be
fore this attack the material had been
yielding slowly. and finally the en-
gineers have utilized a big suction
dredge.
Meanwhile the sharp rise in the level
Of Gatun lake Oct. 21 has increased
the size of the ditch so that now 7 O00.-
600 cubic feet of water daily is pass
ing over the slide. and by this time
sufficient water has been admitted to
fill the two miles of Culebra cut be
tween.the slide and the first of the Pa
cifc locks, enabling the big steam
dredges to enter the cut and operate
on the earth barrier.

How the Day Is Spent by the President
and His Family.
Christmas In the home Of the presi-
dent Is much the same as in anyiother
American home. except perhaps there
is more Of 1t. Mr.. Taft, following the
custom of his predecessors, devoted
the day to his family. little or no bust
ness being transacted. There were tur-
keys from many parts of the land.
and. moreover. a turkey was given to
each man of family IN the White
House staff. There was a multitude of
presents for each member of the fami-
ly. OF course the youngest of the
Tafts. Master Charley. had the lions
share.
House became a museum of toys on
Christmas day. The president was the
biggest boy of all, and his whole day
was given up to the children. The
dinner was celebrated in the middle
of the day. after the old Dutch cus-
tom. although. of course. there was the
state banquet In the evening.
Since the days of James Buchanan
Christmas, with but few exceptions,
has been deliberately celebrated In the
White House. Before that Pierce and
Fillmore each had his days in the his
toric mansion saddened by sorrow.
But with these two exceptions and a
few. minor ones the Christmas festival
vas duly celebrated by the presidents
from Washington down. Even during
the terrible days of the civil war Pres
ident and Mrs. Lincoln always made
1t a point to gladden. the hearts of the
children at Yuletide. There was a
large and happy family during the oc-
cupancy of the Grants. and the Christ
mas tree was always heavily laden.

Showing Good Results.
According to advices from Paris, an
innovation In the transport and sale of
living fish has been i~naugurated by
President Nigg of the French Syndi-
cate of Fish Culture. The Fish Trade
company, founded by M. Nigg. has
rented from a railroad a car used ordi-
narily to transport merchandise and
has turned it into a special vehicle.
There are tank arrangements with
constantly fresh running water, and
special provision is made for certain
sorts of fish needing more oxygen than
others.
The car is already showing good re-
suits. Its first trip brought 300 kilos
of fish from the Dordogne to Paris
without any appreciable loss.
The company has also installed large
receiving tanks in Paris for the fish
and their sale while living.

win Man dispose and Woman Propose

Will Man Dispose and Woman Propose?
Over in Stockholm a dreadful dis
-cussion is raging because women wish
to be given the right to propose. A
statement Of DR.. Paul S. Hunter of
the Wisconsin board of health to the
effect that woman Is prior to man after
all seems to give the much sought
privilege to the woman. Ii DR.. Hun
ter's statement is scientifically correct,
as he says 1t is. woman existed On this
earth ages before Eve lived in
the garden of Eden a great many years
before Adam appeared, and therefore
women can reverse the old situation,
for trouble only began when man was
made.
1.-The female sex existed alone on
this earth for ages" says DR.. Hunter.
when the male came he came as In
offshoot of the. female. and. although
for ages the great processes of life
had gone on without him. he began to
claim priority for himself as soon as he
developed a physique strong enough to
force his demand. He has been tell
ing these stories about hlmSel u MS
great superiority until today. but now
science can d~isprove his claim"
The average person wonders about
the future stand of science toward
woman's right to propose. If woman
is mans superior (as she undoubtedly
is or is not, she should certainly man
age her own matrimonial ventures. A
great many women would propose
more gracefully and more discreetly
than some men. but the sad things that
may happen to the impressionable
weaker sex lin the light Of the new
discovery when they are unable to
forbid a lady to marry them can be
pictured. 1t is consoling to think that
the poor distracted scientists will be
least able to resist the danger that
they have brought upon themselves.

PLOTTED TO KILL SCORES.
Nicaraguans Ready to Wipe Out Presi-
dent and Deputies.

The frustrated plot to assassinate
President Adolfo Diaz of Nicaragua
and all his ministers on Oct. 20 was
laid by the conspirators with remarka-
BILE care, according to details just pub
lished in Nicaragua. The plotters, it
appears, We're members of the Liberal
party and had divided themselves into
three groups. the first charged with the
work of killing the president and two
cabinet ministers while they were driv-
ing together in a carriage in Managua.
the second to assassinate Vice Presi-
dent Fernando Solorzano and the third
to throw dynamite bombs among the
members of the chamber Of deputies
while it was gathered in session.
The discovery of the co~nspirators
while they were holding a meeting to
arrange the final details Of the plot
was purely accidental.

Chinese lines have been exploited in
evening wraps for several seasons, and
oriental effects both in materials and
trimmings have received a perfect sar-
torial ovation from the feminine pub
lie. but this year the silhouette de-
signed from Chinese costumes is new
in the dress world.
The chic little three piece costume
pictured is of such a genre. The mate
rial used is tan wool for the skirt and
the same shade in duvetyn for the lit
tie mandarin jacket. which has a sash
of silk worked with metal threads
finished with bands of fur. The cos
tune is original and smart in the ex-

High collars. if tight. do more to in
duce a double chin than anything else.
and, moreover, by pressing the flesh
underneath the chin back against the
throat they cause the two front neck
cords to become unduly prominent and
stringy looking. which is quite as de-
plorable as the double chin. This can
be avoided by having the collar of a
flexible material. such as a good quail
ty of net. and boning it so that it
fares n little at the upper and lower
edges. which is best accomplished by
running the net through the fingers to
stretch it.
