These men have taken the Italians

better conditions of farming cannot be
created on these high plateaus. They
expect to improve the breeds Of sheep
and to bring in goats and American
cattle. They hope also to teach the
Indians the several trades and to up
lift them in every possible way.
Believe in Wttcheraft.
The indians believe in witchcraft
and that death is usually Occasioned by
some one bewitching them. When a
person dies his relatives and friends
are anxious that the witches should
not pursue the soul OF the man after
death. Not long ago man died on
the farm. and his family came TO the
overseer and asked him TO take a piece
Of paper with a cross on the top and
to write below that; 7 have died be-

and I here pray to the Lord that I be
free from them in the future" This
sheet of paper was put into the hand
Of the dead man and was buried with
him

grow savage. At such times man

In 1725 Thomson decided to try his
luck in London, and although he was
not over rich in worldly goods, he was
practically supplied with friends who
did everything TO make his path an
easy one Lady Orizel RailIie who
knew his mother, was particularly
KIND to him He wrote several plays,
some Of which were acted by such ar
lists as Carrick and Mace Oldfield, but
II is as poet that Thomson is best
remembered, for though his plays were

the seasons, but had no summer Of his
own, exclaimed:

And absolve thy future care;

Amanda frequently visited at Rich

I talked with Mrs. Austin, fine "a

missionary farm managers She tens
me that the indian boys are very quick
to learn and showed me a bright little
fellow, belonging TO the farm, who
spoke Spanish. At the same time, she
brought out some ears of corn about a

raised on the farm had the boy mold

7 arpon Fishing Becomes
FaUorite Sport at Panama

Panama. July 1s.-Tarpon fishing has
become one of the chief sports Of the
isthmus. II has been discovered that
many large fish come up the Chagres
river from salt water to feed on the
small fish that come through the spill
way from Gatun lake.
On several occasions recently tarpon
from three 10 four feet long have been
captured just below the end Of the spill
way.
The Chagres river. Just below the
spillway and down TO the Caribbean, is
very deep and has very little current.
Gatun lake is the breeding ground for
many fish and these flow over the
spillway dam with the huge volume OF
water when the gates are opened.
