The OnIv Difference.

A Massachusetts congressman went
to England a few years ago and spent
some time studying the British parla-
ment at close range.
Immediately on his return he was
asked if he couldn't make an analytical
comparison of the house of commons
and the house of representatives He
wrinkIcd his face up lcarnedly and
spoke as follows:
"Thp two houses are a good deal
alike The members there swagger in
just as nonchalantly as they do here
and have much the same knack at pay
ing no attention to what is going on.
About the only great fundamental diff
ference between the two lower houses
that 7 could discover after great deal
of thou@ht and study was that in the
house of commons they have more Gus

Old Friends.

Those that have loved longest love
best. A sudden blaze of kindness may
by single blast of coldness be eXtin-
guishcd. But that fondness which
length of time has connected with
many circumstances and occasions,
though it may for awhile be suppress
ed by disgust or resentment, with or
without a cause, is hourly revived by
accidental recollections. To those who
have lived long together everything
heard and everything seen recalls
some pleasure communicated or some
benefit ConfcrTed-some petty quarrel
or some slight endearment. Esteem
of great powers or amidble qualities
newly discovered may embrOider day
or week, hut friendship of twenty
years is interviewer with the texture of
life. \ friend may he often found and
lost, but an old friend never can be
found, and nature has provided that he
cannot easily be lost.-Samuel John.

Daddy and the Riddles.

Well call him daddy" because

Frequently mother ana the kiddies
go to the picture show in the evening

When the trip home was made and
the Youngsters tucked in bed daddy
heard one youngstcr say to the other:
Don't you think the shows lots bet

The answer came, Lots better"
And how many "dadlies' would cease
TO be too tired" if they realized how
much the kiddies yearn for them!-De-

tain William r. Foster, the harbor-

why, Captain Graham and used
to swim in the same old brickyarI

were youngsters" said Captain Fos-
ter. He Immediately took possession
of the shippers two banjos and play
ed a genuine Hawaiian hula to an
accompaniment of coal rafting down
into the hold from the Inter-Island
coal barge. Captain Graham express
ed wish tc get the music, and it is
likely he and the harboEmaster will
wander up town and buy it this after
noon, so the skipper can practise the
piece on the way over to Vladivos-
tok -. @>......
Thirty-six days cut from New York
includes 10 passed waiting at
Cucaracha Reach in the canal, while
big rocks which had jutted out from
the overhanging cliff at the side of
the canal we're being dredged away.
When the obstruction was removed
Captain Graham guided his steamer
through. There were 32 feet of wa
ter at Cucaracha Reach giving the
Eurymedcn, which drew % feet, four.
feet of clearance. Time required to
clear the canal of the rocks was II

They are working now ut Cuca-
racha with steam shovels biting away
the back of the 100 foot mountain at
this part Of the canal, so that the hill
will slide down the other way instead
of dropping into the big ditch" said
Captain Graham. He was not pessi-
mistic over the canal, and thought that
ultimately canal engineers will con-
quer the slides.
The Eurymedon, which was here
last in June, 1915, when she was then
the Indrawadi of the Indra line, is TAX
ing 1000 tons of general merchandise
