FUNNY LITTLE SCOTCH YARN
Eccentric Old kiItie Is Eager to Show
Son He Came From Better Family
Than the Youngster.

Here is a little Scotch story, told
merely to put you in good humor. In
a little Canadian town near Toronto,
where the population is half Scotch,
Johnnie Walker runs the general
store. Hugh Walker, his father, an
eccentric old Kiltie, is fond of wee
drappie, and on occasions has been
known to indulge in a wee drappie
tae muckle. On one of these occasions
he found himself denied admittance
to the store, nor could all his plead
ings soften Johnnies heart. 1t took
some time for the situation to sink
into him, but finally convinced that
his ain kith and kin would have name
O. him, he turned away with tears in
his eyes.

shaking his fist. Eye ken Johnnie

HE WAS WILLING TO LEARN
Man Who damned Finger While Tack
ing Down Carpet, Would Adopt
Wife's Way of Swearing.

Some people claim that the English
language is adequate for all purposes,
but, according to story told by Sen
ator George Chamberlain of Oregon
the other day, there is room for rea-
sonable doubt
Some time ago, the senator said, the
home of a Washington man was in
the throes of housekeeping. Every
thing looked as If it had been mauled
by the sheriff, and the poor old father
was down on his hands and knees try
ing to spike a carpet to the floor.
Suddenly he made a misplay, and
the hammer, seeming to studiously
avoid the tack, came down on fathers
thumb with a force that was mentally
disturbing. Hopping to his feet that
he might also dance while sweetly
singing, father smoked up the Blue
Lawn good and plenty.
John Henry! John Henry" re-
monstrated his Mortified wife, who was
bossing the carpet job. You must
not swear in that dreadful way!"
"All right, madame! All right,
woman!" cussfully responded the
wild-eyed lord and master. IF you
know of a better way, now is the
time to put me wise!"-Philadelphia
Telegraph.

and geology of the isthmus than had
previously been available. President
Grant in 1869 asked congress to take
I'D the matter of a canal. The only
action was a resolution providing for
an exploration by officers of the navy
and the creation of commission In
1872 to consider their reports. Then
in May, 1876, the republic of Colon
bia granted a concession for the con-
struction of a canal from Colon to
Panama, the terminals of the Panama
railroad, to Lieut.. Lucien Napoleon
Bonaparte Wyse, an officer OF the
French army.
In 1894 a new French company was
organized and work was resumed. IN
1899 the United States congress ere
ated the isthmian canal commission
to examine all practicable routes ana
to report which was the most prac-
ticable and feasible for canal under
the control, management and owner
shin of the United States" The COM
mission reported two alternative plans'
one for a canal at Panama and the
other across Nicaragua. 1t estimated
the cost of a Panama canal at Sl5o'-
378.25S and Of the Nicaragua canal at
s2OO,54O. 100. But because the route
from New York to San Francisco
would be several hundred miles snort

belief that the Nicaragua route was
more desirable under the clrcum-

February, 1904, commission for the
construction OF canal was appointed.
In May of that year work was begun
where the French company had aban-
doned it In June, 1905, a board of
consulting engineers was appointed to
consider whether the canal should be
at sea level or with elevating locks.
The canal itself, from deep water to

SLAYER HID IN BIG PRISON
Man Wanted for Murder Allowed
Himself to Be Caught in Burglary
to Escape Search.

Sacramento-A countrywide search,
covering almost three years, for Otto
Shaumberg, the notorious key
burglar" of ST. Louis and alleged muir
derer of Detective James Arnold OF
East st. Louis, has ended in cell at
San Quentin prison. Shaumberg was
identified by William ]. Mulconnery,
sheriff of LIE Claire county, Illinois.
The police of every city in the United
States have been on the watch for
Shaumberg and $500 reward for his
capture Is authorized by LIE Claire
county.
Shaumberg was betrayed by his
cellmate at San Quentin, to whom he
narrated the story of his criminal
operations in st. Louis and East St.
Louis. Sheriff Mulconnery was noti-
fed and extradition papers were
signed by Governor Dunn Of Illinois
and filed with Governor Johnson two
months ago.
Sheriff Mulconnery recently came
to the Pacific coast to get a prisoner
at McNeils Island penitentiary and
stopped over at San Quentin to iden-
tify Shaumberg, whom he had seen
about East st. Louis.
Hello, Otto" Mulconnery sa1d'
and offered his hand to the convict:
my names not Otto" Shaumberg
replied, and he pulled back his hand.
Il never was back there, and l don't
know you," he added.
Back where?" queried Mulconnery.
Back where you come from,
Shaumberg replied, and then wilted
down when Mulconnery accused MIN
Of the murder.
Shaumberg told his cellmate that
after he had murdered Detective
Arnold he hurried to the Pacific coast
and permitted himself to be captured
in the act of committing burglary
at Santa Cruz, Cal. He pleaded guilty
under the name of Ray c. Jones ana
was sentenced to serve two years IN
prison. Shaumberg told his fellow
convict he thought he would be safer
in prison while a search for him was
on than roaming around the country.
