the Panama Canal During Period Of 800 Years
Modern Americans Accomplished the Taskin 10 Years
THREE hundred years ago

T1NEE nu1lQIcQ years ago
- King Ferdinand Of Spain, then the
master of the western seas, aspired to
the building Of q Panama canal. In
1927 the king Of Holland had a like
ambition and in 1S47 EngliShmen
launched such a project. None of them
had the hardihood to go beyond an ill.,
veStigation basis.
In the spring of 1879 the French
took up the problem and they actually
began work, but by 1888 they had met
with failure, having expended over
O0,OOO-and thousands of lives
in the construction of less than one
third of the canal.
In the year 1905 the United States
took active charge Of the canal work.
It was estimated then that ii years
would be necessary to complete the
task, but it was completed this year-

Pet Colt Figures in Divorce.

A pet colt was introduced into the complaint of Mrs. Sarah T. Langdon for divorce from Leslie Langdon. IL was set up as contributing to one or the many acts of cruelty charged against MT. Langdon. He is thirty three and Mrs. Langdon nineteen. In the trial of her divorce action before Judge Monroe the other day Mrs. Langdon said her husband threatened to sell the colt She wanted to keep it because she had raised it. His threat to dispose of the colt was to annoy her, she said, and thereby she suffered mentally.
 But you can't always keep the colt a pet; it will grow too big for that, commented the court. But in her mind, once a pet, always pet. The decree was granted on the ground of assertion and nonsupport.-Los An geles Times.

TRY UNIFORM COLOR SCHEME
Bay State to Adopt Plan Which Has Been Successful in New England
 Easy to Tell Roads.

A uniform color scheme, by which motor tourists in the New England states will be able to tell by the color of the road signs whether they are on local or state roads, north and south or east and west main roads, or sec ondary or diagonal roads, is planned by William D. Sohier, chairman of the Massachusetts highway commission. At present New Hampshire has color system of it's own and Vermont has complicated one, and the plan in eacn state has proved of assistance to those familiar with it.
 Could a uniform system be extended over the New England territory, So- hier thinks, strangers would find the problem of selecting their roads much simplifed. Connecticut, Rhode Island and Maine highway officials have promised to cooperate with the Mas sachusetts commission in drawing ul a simple system, and conference of highway commissioners at which the subject will be considered is to be | held in the near future.

DIRECTIONS FOR USING DRAG
Have the Implement Follow Horses at Angle of Forty-Five Degrees, Push-
 ing Earth to Center.
(By D. WARD KING.)

By D. WARD KING)
 A road-drag is any cheap wooden contrivance that will move a little earth to the middle of the road and leave the surface smooth. Any drag is a good drag, but the split-log or double-slab drag is by far the best.
 The directions for use are simple as the drag itself: Ride on the drag, drive the team with one horse on each side of the right-hand wheel track, with the drag following at an angle of about 45 degrees, thus pushing the loose earth toward the center. Drive toward town to your neighbours front gate, and turning there, come home over the other wheel track.
 After the next rain perform the same operation. When this has been done four or five times the road may

the Claymore inn when that inn was simply a tavern.
 Then she found herself looking into a drawer half drawn out and filled with all sorts of heterogeneous ar ticles-sealing wax, roll of pins, a penholder, a knife-a knife! Why should she recoil again at that? Noth- ing could be more ordinary than to find a knife in the desk drawer of a young man! The fact was not worth a thought; yet before she knew it her fingers were creeping. towards this knife, had picked it up from among the other scattered articles, had closed upon it, let it drop again, only to seize hold of it yet more determinedly and carry it straight to the light.
 The knife was lying open on hel palm, and from one of the blades the end had been nipped, just enough oi it to match
 Was she mad! She thought so fol a moment; then she laid down the knife close against the cap and con templated them both for more minute: than she ever reckoned. The candle fiuttering low in it: socket reused her at last from her ab straction. Catching up the two ar ticles which had so enthralled her, sh' restored the one to the closet, th' other to the drawer, and, with swif but silent step, regained her owl room, where she buried her head il her pillow, weeping and praying unti the morning light, breaking in upol her grief, awoke her to the obligation of her position and the necessity 0 silence concerning all the experience of this night

dermined a strength which she had always considered inexhaustible. Reu- ther began to notice her pallor. and the judge to look grave. She was forced to complain of a cold (and in this she was truthful enough) to ac- count for her alternations of feverish impulse and deadly lassitude. The trouble she had suppressed was hav- ing it's quiet revenge.
 Wes there no medium course? Could she not learn where Oliver had been on the night of that old-time murder? Miss Weeks was a near neighbor and saw everything. Miss Weeks never forgot; to Miss Weeks she would go.
 She had passed the first gate and was on the point of opening the sec ond one, when she saw on the walk before her a small slip of brown pa per. Lifting it, she perceived upon it an almost illegible scrawl which she made out to read thus:
 For Mrs. Scoville:
 | Do not go wandering all over the town for clues. Look closer to home. And below:
 You remember the old saying about jumping from the frying pan into the hre. | Let your daughter be warned. It Is pet-
 ter to be singed than consumed.
 Because Deborah's mind was quick
 it all flashed upon her, lowing her 1n
 spirit to the ground. Reuther had
 been singed by the knowledge of her
 fathers ignominy, she would be con
 stunned if inquiry were carried further
 and this ignominy transferred to the
 proper culprit Oliver alone could be
 meant. The doubts she had tried te
 suppress from her own mind were
 shared by others-others! In five minutes she was crossing the
 road. her face composed, her manner genial, her tongue ready for any en
 counter. The truth must be hers al all hazards. If it could be found here
 then here would she seek it. Her lont struggle with fate had brought to th' fore every latent power she possessed Miss Weeks was ready with hel greeting. A dog from the big hous'

SOME GOOD IN VIVID COLOR
Frenchmen Found Their Red Caps
 Useful in Signaling to Their Alert Comrades.

The French have, with the oncom- ing of winter, put into use the recent ly adopted great coat for infantry. It is not, as heretofore, dark blue, put a blue-gray. The French have le1t to their British allies the khaki color, and they could not adopt the gray green, hue which had already been chosen by the Germans. So they ac- cepted a blue, which is neutral and from a distance scarcely visible It blends with the fog of the morning and the smoke of battle.
 As for red, it is now definitely pro- scribed. The vermilion military cap is covered with blue. So the foot sol diers hereafter clothed in shaded foggy wear will attract less attention from the enemy. But" says Le Crie de Paris, eff red offers in time of war greater danger to the wearer. it may on occasion present some advantages The other day a wounded soldier re counted how he and several of his comrades wandered into a position ID advance of the French lines. As they were taken for Germans every time one stuck his nose above the trench they drew the fire of our soldiers. Al at once an idea came to them. They
 put on the ends of their bayonets their red caps from which they hac | removed the cover. The firing ceased
 and they were enabled to return t'
 their countrymen. This time 1t wal
 the red that saved them.

bearing it had on the relations she had hoped to establish between him and Reuther, that she had waited for the house to be silent and her child asleep.
 Unhappy mother, just as she saw something like prospect of releasing her long-dead husband from the od1um of an unjust sentence, to be shaken by this new doubt as to the story and character of the man for whose union with her beloved child she was so anxiously struggling!
 There was a room on this upper floor into which neither she nor Reu- ther had even stepped. She had once looked in, but that was all. To- night-because she could not sleep; because she must not think-she was resolved to enter it. Divers room! left as he had left it years before! What might it not tell of past con- corning which she longed to be reas- sured?
 The father had laid no restrictions upon her, in giving her this floor for her use. Rights which he ignored she could afford to appropriate. Dressing sufficiently for warmth, she lit a candle, put out the light in her own room and started down the hall to this long-closed room.
 A smother of dust-an odor of de- cay-a lack of all order in the rooms arrangements and furnishings -even a general disarray, hallowed, if not I1 for hi trn e prepared. But not for the wild confu' sion-the inconceiXable litter and all the other signs she saw about her ot a boys mad packing and reckless de parture.
 There was an inner door, and this some impulse drove her to open. A small closet stood revealed, empty but for one article. When she saw this article she gave a great gasp; with a shrug of the shoulders drew back and flung to the door. But she opened it again. She had to. Ont cannot live in hideous doubt, without an effort to allay it, She must lool at that small, black article again look at it with candle in hand; SCI for herself that her fears were with out foundation; that shadow hat made the outline on the wall which
