The earl of Aberdeen, lord lieuten-
ant, whom Mr.. Ben Tillett suggests
hanging, is one of the mildest-man-
nered and most kindly of men.
He takes a great interest in agricul-
ture, and oneS evening, while taking
a walk in a country district, he paused
to watch a laboring man at work in
his little garden.
Leaning over the fence, his lord
ship asked: rs this good soil?"
aye" said the laborer dryly.
Several other questions were an
ewered in the same laconic way, the
laborer digging busily all the time.
Finally, Lord Aberdeen asked, What
is your next crop to be"
The laborer paused in his work and
looked at his questioner severely.

marked, Il dinna suppose you ken

The most recent slide into the
Panama canal at the Culebra cut has
already been cleared away suffci-

Of rather small vessels that were

damage can be entirely overcome and
anything like full depth of water

The slides are getting to be more
and more serious affairs, for the
reason that the business of the canal
is increasing faster than anybody
dreamed it would. In less than eight
weeks from its opening, almost
hundred vessels passed through the
canal and paid tolls for the privilege.
If it be kept in mind That during the
only full month that the canal has
been operated. September, not

passed through it, and that but for
the war there would have been q
