Ntuv York, Aug. 27.—As the result of
President Roosevelt’s coming visit to
Pumima many Important changes are
anticipated among the directing offi
cials of the canal commission. Despite
the denial of Chairman Shonts this af
ternoon of the Panama report that he
would soon resign his position, it is
believed In some quarters that he will
retire from chairmanship In the near
future and be succeeded by Chief En
gineer Stevens.
The president has not been satisfied
with the progress made in Panama and
his trip under the direction of Mr.
Stevens will enable him to make many
changes to expedite the digging of the
canal. Who will succeed Governor
General Magoon will probably not be
determined until after President Roose

Wife of Millionaire
Undergoes Operation
-TO-
JESSIE AND JERUSHIE
By VIRGINIA SCOTT ALLEfJ.
-' ~tqh r
/
“Jerushle, If w’e Just didn't have the
dishes to wash we would be happy. I'd
rather cut wood any day than wash,
wash, wash." After a pause she added,
very conclusively; “1 wisht I wua a
boy, anyhow."
“Well, I’d rather be a grown lady;
then I would not have a thing to do,
les'n I wanted to—and I know I'd never
want 'er wash dishes/'
“Wlshin’ ain't washln’ dishes, so if
we are a-going to the sleddin’ hill to
try our new boards we'd as well clear
off this table and wash these dishes."
Forthwith Jerushte and Jessie pulled
themselves together, yawned and
stretched, and began their distasteful
task, their tongues all the while as
busy as their hands. Soon the table
was cleared,.nml the dishes carried to
the kitchen in the yard, ready to be
washed. Jess carried the dlshpan to
the stove, and by standing on her tip
toes reached the handle of the tea
kettle and poured out the hot water,
then placed the pan on a low “stool-
bottom" and began her task, each dish
being handed Jerushle, who dried It
and put it on the kitchen table. Pres
ently Jessie asked:
“Jerushle, did you ever count how
many times we have these old dishes to
wash? Well, we have them to wash
and dry three times every day, and
there are—how' many days in the year
—300;, well, three hundred times 3"—
“But there's 365 days in the year,
Jess, 'cause I. remember I had to stay
Jn on that last year."
to compute in their heads, so Jerushle
dropped her dish towel, and taking a
coal from the stove, began the process
of multiplication on the kitchen wall.
The result JeruBb was unable to read.
However, they could readily tell that it
was in the thousands. And it was enor
mous.
“Jerushle, don't it make you tired to
think about it?" Jerush, who had left
the kitchen with her hands full of
dishes, carrying them hack to the din
ing room, answered half way the walk:
“Well, I reckon."
When the last dish had been dried,
and Jessie was washing the pan, two
boys, in blue overalls and wide straw
hats, bounced Into the kitchen.
“Jess, I want my flih pole; where is
It? *-You know w'here it is."
“You're craxy; It ain't my day to
keep up with your fishln* pole."
“You'd just as well stop your foolin',
for if you don't get it 1 am going to
tell ma.”-
“Po* little innle,' he’s lost his fish
pole. Hush little baby, dou’t you cry,
you’ll find your fish pole by and by.”
Jess well knew', that little tune was
an open declaration of war, but the
greatest delight of her life was to
tease.
“Jerushle, have you had my fishhook?
I left it In the corner in the dining room
yesterday, and now it’s gone. Dick said
he ain’t had It, and you know where it
is, and Jess does, too."
"Sam. you needn't judge everybody
by yourself; 'cause you hide our dolls
you needn't think we hide your ax and
fishhooks."
"Jess, If you'll tell me where It Is I'll
take you to the new' grapevine I
found."
Now% Jess and Dick were the best of
friends, and If It had been Dick’s fish
ing pole she would Immediately have
the most desirable place In the whole
stream. Soon all four w'ere seated on
top of the log with rods and lines fish
ing.
QuJet reigned, the silence broken only
by the trill ot a bird, or the saucy
bark ot a squirrel, or the caw of a
crow as he flew overhead. Far In the
distance could be heard the negroes
singing and keeping tune with their
hoes. The water below them gurgled
as the fish flirted with their hooks.
“H’sh, h’sh. I got a bite; be still,"
exclaimed Sam.
“All you ever get Is bites.”
“If that’s what you call a bite, yes!"
And he triumphantly threw a small
"sucker” In Jess’ lap. She jumped and
shrugged her shoulders. However, de
termined not to be outdone, she pulled
the fish off the hook, exclaiming: “Ain’t
he cute?"
“I wonder If you ever saw anything
that wasn’t cute!"
"I’ve seen you, Sam."
It wasn't long before they began to
play In the creek. Of course, their
hands were never busy unless their
tongues were.
“Well.” began Jess, “we can't have
many more good times. Just think,
school begins In Just three weeks!
Sometimes I wish I was Adam or Eve,
then I wouldn’t have to go to school,
’cause there wouldn't be nothin' to
study."
This was received with many sighs.
School was discussed from “A to Iz-
zard.” Doubtless the poor teacher
ould have smiled had she heard the
criticism passed upon her.
The sun had begun to drop behind the
hills when they prepared to quit their
elevated perch. Slowly they gathered
up their fishing tackle, slung their poles
across their shoulders, and began the
walk homeward. Several stops were
made before they reached home. Bon
nets, hats and all were filled full of
wild grapes. These were thrown at tht
feet of their devoted queen, the one
person that they all joined in serving
and adoring—mother.
BULGARIA MAY

The kitchen window# were closed.
Sam and Dick mechanically followed
Jerush and Jess out Into the yard,

calico bonnets dangling on the sturdy
little shoulder* were silently pulled
over the faces ot their owners.
matter of course Jess and Je-
rush knew precisely whero that Ush
pole was, but It was Jess’ plan to keep
her victims In suspense as long as pos
sible. She fully intended to reveal its
hiding place before she went to play, so
she, being very Industrious all of a sud
den. swept the dining room and the
hall, vvasned her face and brushed her
hair, all the while discussing with Jo
rush where would be the best place for
their doll house, outright ignoring Sam
and Dick, who were never out of ear
shot. Dick was making a pretence of
hunting the rod, and Sam was—quar
relling. All four had stood the "silence"
of the result as long as possible, and
Sam's patience being worn and thread
bare, he promised he would do- any
thing If Jess would tell him where hln
lost hook wa*.
'That’s a bargain. Now hold up
your right hand, cross your heart-
now come on." She led the way back
to the kitchen door, she stooped down,
reached upon the sill and brought forth
the treasure.
"Now, you can have this If we can go
a-fishln’ with you, and that you'll stay
In the kitchen with us when we wash
the dishes tonight."
Since the burdening oath, the hcld-
up hand and crossed heart had been
made, the terms were assented to, and
four apparently happy youngsters were
seen wending their way to the pasture
to fish. The favorite fishing spot In
the creek was in the far end of the
pasture—here Jerush and Jess were
never allowed to go unless accompanied
by the boys. A very large log had
fallen across the creek here, and an
unusually large hole made it indeed
