a Duty There.

Preparing the white man for his
coming occupation of the tropics by
teaching him how to live there is the
substance OF suggestion made to the

Panama canal zone OF an international

and Lasting Lesson.

cause he found an ink spot on his
monthly statement. which recalled to
a bank Official OF this town the reason
why one cashier ceased to be little

killed. He was conservative guy
and COOS" said the banker. He
was the sort OF man who would
leave a light turned on in the hall
at night so that burglars might think
that some member OF the family had
not returned home. He was espe-
cially strong on temperance. Strong
drink had never scared his pure lips.
He cashiered In a savings bank in the

Sir CASTOR Maspero has unearthed
some Pharaonic papyri which throw
an interesting light on the Pharaonic
consideration of woman and marriage.
In those days mankind evidently ia
vored kind of trial marriaged, and
this marriage woman entered on terms
of perfect equality, or even, perhaps,
on terms of superiority.
This was the usual Pharanoic mar

she detected the mufIied sound of its
alarm toward evening. When ques-
