1t seemed to We're as she stood al
the little mullioned window of the
farm house, that all the snow clouds
of a century had gathered to send
long, stinging slants Of frozen sleet to
the already white ground. She turned
in relief to the big, pleasant room
with its cracking open fire and re
solved not to look out of the window
again.
But there was little else to do. She
had arisen that morning long before
daybreak in order to get breakfast
and drive to town with her parents,
who had taken the morning train to
Eldred. They had disliked to leave
her alone, but some one must remain
at home to care for the stock and
milk the cows. The daughter of the
nearest neighbor was coming to spend

WHEN THE CANAL IS OPEN
Will Change Course Of Freight Traffic
Between Europe and Valparaiso,
Austria and New Zealand.

The Hansa, the organ of the Ham.
burg ship owners, after consideration
OF the probable effect OF the opening
OF the Panama canal upon steamship
routes, states that after the month OF
June, 1913, should the canal be opened
to navigation at that time, steamers
proceeding from Europe to San Fran.
cisco will no longer go via Cape Horn,
a route Of 1881 sea miles, but will
save $500 sea miles via the canal
route. Steamers proceeding from
Montreal to Sydney now cover 1889
sea miles, but in the future will be
able to do SO over a route OF 1882 sea
miles.
1t is difficult to predict the effect
OF the canal upon freight traffic be-
tween Europe and Valparaiso, the
Cape Horn route being only 2,1OO
miles longer than the canal route.
Passenger ships probably will pass
through the canal, serving the east
coast OF South America by means Of
auxiliary ships sailing from West In
dian ports.
Trade between Europe and Japan
will not be influenced by the canal, as
the Panama route will be 1000 miles
longer than the one now followed.
From New York to Shanghai, on the
other hand, the difference In favor OF
the canal will be 1,400 sea miles. The
present route from Europe to Aus
tralia is 500 miles longer than the
route via the canal, which ts scarcely
enough to threaten any great change.
1t is assumed that a part Of the busi-
ness from New Zealand to Europe,
which today comes via Cape Horn,
will pass through the canal hereafter,
saving 1000 sea miles. The canal
route will be selected also by passen-
gers who wish to avoid the rough and
stormy rounding of Cape Horn. The
chief part Of the steadily increasing
business between New York and Aus
tralia and New Zealand should there
fore proceed via the canal rather
than by the Cape of Good Hope, saw

Too Small for a Doc.

The craze for small dogs has caused
some amusing frauds in Paris. Walk
ing down the fashionable side of the
Avenue de Bots de Boulogne the 9TH
er morning was man who had sew
eral toy dogs for sale. One of the
smallest was particularly diminutive
griffon. A woman asked its price.
The man made the little dog perform
several tricks and then fished out a
little creature scarcely more than
half the size of the first.
The woman concluded what she
thought bargain. She put the little
one in her muff and, on getting home
again. pulled him out. For minute
the animal showed fear. but then, to
her great amazement, started toward
the window and ran up one of the cur
tains. After its capture by the serv-
ants 1t was found to be o large rat
sewed up In dog-skin.
