THE PANAMA CANAL.

About four centuries ago Balboa. a
Spaniard. came over the ocean expior-
ing for Spain. He had many wonderful
adventures. and was the 'hrst white
man to see the great ocean In ;hc
western part Of North America. He
named it Pacific. because OF It's quiet
and peaceful waters
Because OF the narrowness Of the
isthmus. which separated the Atlantic
Ocean from the tactic. naturally sug-
Ecsted the idea OF canal This idea
was first adopted by King Ferdina nd
of Spain. because Of the long journey
around South America to reach some
OF her possessions but it did not go
into effect.
In 1876 an organization WAS made in
France. in which Ferdinand de L>ssepo
the engineer OF the Suez Canal was
made president He was asked TO lay
the situation of the canal. In 1859
the company was hankrupted and no
further movement for a canal was
made until 1909. when bill was
passed by Congress authorizing the
President Of the United States to ac-
qure this property for sI0.O0oOoo, and
get the Republic Of Columbia to grant
them narrow strip of land no less
than six miles in diameter. and the
right to build a canal through the
isthmus.
Later treaty was made with
Panama in which the United States
received a ten-mile strip OF land. The
treaty was ratified by Panama Decem-
her 81. 1909. and by the United States
February %. 1904. The United States
paved Panama .IooO0.0oo n.the rati-
ication nf the treaty. and will pay
S25o.oco annually, beginning nineteen
years after the exchange OF ratihca-
tions.
In June, 1900 work vas begun. and
j. F. Wallace was made engineer. he
was succeeded by John r Stephens,
who resigned in 1907 In the same
year Colonel Cocktails was made en-
gineer. He has made a great success
Of the canal because Of his great skill
in engineering and also in managing
an army of workmen. speaking forty
five different languages.
The canal is hfty miles long and
connects Pona ma with Colon II has
six locks three AT Gatum on the ra-
cifc side. and three on the Atlantic
side. The cutting Of Culebra was the
most difficult thing. because Of the
landslides.
This canal will he a great benefit to
the nations of the world. and cele-
hration will take place at san Fran
cisco. starting January !. 1915

YOU stand by the way and see those
worn and gray old soldiers go bv
with their tattered flags and battle
emblems. please. children mine remem-
Der that they fought TO defend your
homes from invasion. Cheer them with
all the strength and power of Your
voice. for they are all that are left Of
the gallant heroes that went forth to
battle over fifty years ago. ! am sure
that IL will thrill YOU to watch them.
When YOU see the V NJ l. Cadets
march with them in the parade. | want
YOU to remember that some gay and
happy boys, just like them. went into
the terrible battle at New Market and
some OF those same cadets will march
in the parade. They are not boys any
longer. but old and gray-haired men
See il all. dear children and write
'me what you think of il all. | want TO

WELCOME. CONFEDERATE VET
ERANS.

Welcome Confederate veterans. TO
our city. II is with JOY that we greet
your coming to our beautiful Rich
mond. the capital Of the Southern Con
lederacy. We hope that to YOU this
reunion will prove the pleasantest com
ing together Of the old war-,im.
friends since the war. May all the joy
possible he to YOU our beloved soldiers
VINO fought so nohly and bravely for
your honored principles.
Each year fewer and fewer of the
old soldiers are seen Many have fin
ished LIES warfare and have passed
into James eternal camping ground -
Those that are left show signs of age.
Their forms are hent: their heads are
white. and il is with lettering steps
that they again march the streets of
the city they fought so long to save
soon the last soldier will have laid
down his arms. but
They Will live in song and story
Though their forms are in the dust

4 LITTLE GIRLS PLACE IN THE
HOME.

y little girls first duty in her home
is to obey her mother and father and
to make herself agreeable in her
home.
She should help her mother all she
can. and never complain when her
mother tells her something TO do
When her mother has COMPANY she
should always help her. and do all she
can in making the company feel at
home.
The little girls place seems merely
nothing, but just think what would n
mother do without her little girl to
run errands and take steps for her.
y little girl should he sweet and
thoughtful TO her father. and do all
she can 10 make her fathers and
mothers lives brighter.
She should never be cross and ugly
to her little brothers or sisters. and
do all she can for them. such AS
amusing them, etc
She ought always he ready for her
meals and always enter the dining
room with a smiling face.
little girl should help her mother
about the housekeeping until She is
old enough TO do il all herself.
And. above all nf these things. a lit
tie girl should cultivate an unseiish
disposition and always I've sweet and
kind to everybody around her.

WHAT THE GIRL FOUND IN THE
CLOUDS.

With great sob. coming from the
depts OF her soul. the girl turned over
in the great white bed and look ed
lonGingly out OF the big north win
dow.
For five long years she had laid
there. Why. oh why, didn't God notice
her just once. and forgive her sins. and
heal her. others were healed? Yes
why. indeed. always II seem. she bad
laid in the same white bed and look ed
out OF the same window. But to-day
the Heavens looked different. there
were clouds. Strange she hadn't no.
ticed them before. hut she hadn't. And
now for the first time she saw two
lovely pink clouds. touched by the
rays of the setting sun. and as she
looked they became ladies. the most
beautiful she had ever seen.
And coming out Of the East were a
great host of little dowry clouds, sail
ing closer, closer And 10. they. TOO.
became faces Not beautiful color
faces like the first two. they We're
the faces of los, souls in torment. with
horns adjoining the sides of each head,
and their faces were fiery red like
unto the flames Of hell
And again the girl sobed and was
afraid. A clear slvery voice At her
side said softly: Dear child. fear NOT.
'loSt are we OIL lntH lnal serve
tho god of evil And she was afraid
no longer. ON came those Of the god
OF evil, burning the beautiful ladies to
cinder as they passed still on they
came, travelling towards the West.
The star of hope and life is in their
path" sohbed the girl and ! shall
lose all
Again she heard the voice saying
Have faith"
Soon the evil ones covered the star.
But rs the girl watched. 10. the star
brighter, and brighter grew. until the
faces Of evil grew paler and paler. And
again they became dowry clouds, sail
ing Westward.
With long, happy laugh. the girl
turned over in the great white bed
and her soul was saved. ,Original)

THE BLUE RIDGE AHD IT'S CROWN

The Blue Ridge Mountains are a
beautiful chain OF mountains in Vir-

Many of these mountains are covered
In timber. though much OF il Is fast
disappearing for fuel. crossties, and
much just piled up and burned. to get
it out OF the way. so the ground can

Up on the top Of these mountains

the steam trawlor Remagio landed at
Grimsby. Swede named Nelson. one
of the crew of the Danish steamship
Marie. which was blown up by a
German mine in the North Sea.
After the disaster the crew escaped
from the sinking ship in two life
boats. seven in each. The captain s
boat was picked up by the Wilson
liner Juno. Nielsen was I'm the
mates boat. which in darkness and
rough sea became separated from the
other boat Though they had iood
the bitter cold and the repeated
drenchings by waves caused the men
in the boat terrible sufferings
On the second day one man went
mad and jumped overheard, and la
ter two others collapsed and were
washed out of the boat. The same
night fourth and fifth man died
/ leaving Nielsen and the mate alone
The next day the mate succumbed
and Nielsen was left tossing in a boa
half full of water AT night he saw
