Panama. Pacific Fair.
Among the notable events and occur
renceS which at certain periods and
for a longer or shorter time have dis
tracted thought from the yeXatouS
war problems may be mentioned the
Panama expositions. the unique situa-
ton in Mexico, the strange denoue-
ment in the Harry X. Thaw conspir-
acy and insanity case and the presi-
Dental wedding romance. Opening
early and holding on late, the Panama
Pacific fair at San Francisco proved to
be an exhibition which IL ordinary
times would have been a record break
er in the matter of enthusiasm evoked,
as well in attendance and receipts.
In ten months, beginning March l
and ending Dec 4, the admission were
over 100000. Allowing for repeat
ers, it is fair to estimate that about
one-tenth Of the population which has
passed the stage of babyhood saw the

Thaw Is Freed.
The Thaw case, which had been rel

happenings abroad, was suddenly re-

the charge of conspiring to escape
from the asylum for the detention of
insane criminals at Matteawan, \. Y.
On that charge Thaw and his abettors
In the act we're acquitted. The next
stage was the examination before
jury as to his fitness to be at large.
Here the victim of countless viciSsi-
tudes in his long fight for freedom was
victor, and he was pronounced sane
and set free to go his own way.
Of briefer duration than the Thaw
episode, but equally dramatic and in
tense while it lasted, was the Leo
Frank case In Georgia. Frank was
sentenced to death, but the sentence
was committed to life imprisonment

And birds went singing everywhere

From Pemaqud!
musing tread each garden row
And watch how weeds and onions grow;
But how, | cannot say, or know
For, faith to tell, my thought still strays
To tide washed shores, to land-locked bays,
Wherein his nets the fisher lays
In Pemaquid.
Or if, beneath my orchard trees,
/ hear the hum of golden bees,
1t seems an echo of the seas
That you may see in twights dim,
When angry storms with visage grim
Have sobbed into low, soft hymn,
In Pemaquid.
If l might only look away
Across the ocean old and gray,
At sunrise, or at shut of day.
On sea-gulls sailing wild and free,
And breathe the salt air from the sea-
Two dreamers roaming-you and me,
In Pemaquid.
What would give?-A dish of greens!
My longest row of garden beans!
If might greet you, wife and weans;-
Just clasp you warmly by the hand
Or with you roam along the strand.
Or watch the sea- lights from the land
