WASHINGTON, ID. c., March s.
President Wilson and Secretary Tumulty
put into active operation today part of
their open door policy, when Tumulty
announced that all newspaper CORES
pOndentS would have access to his Office
at all times hereafter. Any number may
freely walk in and out of Tumulty's Of
fee unannounced, unhndered by any
doOrkcepers and messengers.
The new plan practically amounts to
opening the door to the whole world to
watch the wheels go around, as it will
be impossible for any one to call upon
Tumulty or the president without his
name being known to newspaper men.
Formerly it was almost as difficult to
see the presidents secretary as the
president himself
Secretary Tumulty was on the job at
eight again this morning The president
followed fOrty-fve minutes later.
Wilson's first visitor was Colonel f.
VI. House of Texas, a close friend, who
is said to have helped select the cabinet.
1t is believed Wilson consulted the House
today regarding diplomatic appoint
mentS.

Sad Time for Mother When She Real

Mothers darling. age four. was not
to be like other boys and learn to use
naughty and slangy words. He was
not allowed to play with the older
boys in the neighborhood for fear his
sensitive nature might be shocked at
the language they used. One day.
while mother was busy, he slipped
over into the next street and played
for half an hour with crowd of older
boys. In that half hour he took a com
plete course in modern language.
An his return mother said:
Where has my precious been ?"
You should worry and get
wrinkle" he cheerfully replied
Dearest, tell mother where you
learned such horrible language"
mother exclaimed.
"Aw, good night, shirt" came sweet
ly from the Cupid bow mouth.

crate ceremony. Mile. Ferdinande de
Lesseps struck the first blow of a pick
ak at the point where the canal was to
enter the Pacific, each of the party fol-
lowed with a blow, and there was
vast quantity of applause and cham
payne.
From the very first the French COM
pany was beset with troubles. AS the
canal was not government under.
taking the work had to be let out Co
contractors, and many OF these prov.
ed to be dishonest. They would take
out the soft dirt, collect the stipulat-
ed price per cubic yard, and then go
into bankruptcy. At Bogota the poll
ticians not only exacted the usual
blackmail, but annoyed the company
with all manner of litigation, the ma
tive courts invariably ruling against
the French. Worst of all, perhaps,
were the yellow fever and malaria.
which killed of the engineers and
laborers by the thousand. In the last
three months of 1884 the death rate
per thousand was nearly 100, and in
September, 1885, it reached 1857.
Sanitary science had not yet learned
how to cope with these diseases, and
there is every reason to believe that
their ravages alone would have been
enough to insure the failure of de
Lesseps' enterprise, without the gross
extravaganza and the dishonesty that
characterized the work.
THE crash came in 1885," says Mr..
Edwards. after eight years of as
brave fight as man had ever made
against nature, the bubble burst. 1t is
estimated that stock had been issued
to the value of two hundred and fifty
million dollars. 1t is doubtful If half
this sum ever got near enough to
Panama to be expended on actual
work. Most of this paper was held by
French peasants and people of mod
crate means. They had been led into
it by the great name of de Lesseps.
You may be sure that none of the orig
inal promoters were caught with stock

PLANT That Catches rs Eood.

The common bladderwort, an
aquatic plant. not only defends itself
against insects and animals, but
catches worms and fish for it's food
As it floats underneath the surface OF
the water its leafy branches spread
out in all directions Its leaves are
covered with little oval bladders filed
with air, and at one end of each blad-
der is cavity which leads into the
mouth below. Inside the bladder is
a small trap door which opens when
pressure is put on it. A small worm
or small fish can enter this door,
but they can never come out.
