re-
tr/ would have to be paid to some- j cently drafted a petition to
body before the.United States get president, congress, and the
title to.any isthmian canal route.
Some ’days ago it was announced
t hat the government of Colombia
would not consent to the sale of
the Pauarna Canal Company’s
property unless that company
paid it a large sum of money, or
the United States satisfied its de
mands. It was then that it was
said that the Panama Company
could not give title to itB proper
ty and the friends of the Nicara
gua route were elated.
On Saturday the secretary of
the Maritime Canal Company was
a witness before the Senate Com
mittee on Interoceanie Canals,
and what he said was a genuine
surprise to the friends of the Nic
aragua route. It seems that t-lie
Maritime Canal Company thinks
it has a good claim to the Nicara
gua route, and proposes to be paid
for its* property if the United
States settles upon that route. It
claims $6,000,009 v. iiich, it says,
it has expended off the route for
labor; $5,000*000 for laud be-
twfoti Lake Nicaragua and Brito,
and asks that its outstanding
stock, amounting to $22,000,000,
be protected. According to these
figures the United States would
have to pay out $88,000,000 in or
der to get the right to construct a
canal on the Nicaragua route.
It is not to be wondered at that
the friends of the Panama route
are jubilant. It is practically
certain that the United States
will not pay the Maritime Com
pany any such sum, if, in fact, it
will pay it a dollar. Both Costa
Rica and Nicaragua say that the
Maritime Company has forfeited
whatever rights it hill to territo
ry along the Nicaragua route, and
it is difficult to see wlmt the Uni
ted States have to do with its la
bor bills or its stock.
No dottbt there is a strong lob
by at the hack of those claims of
■the Maritime Company. And
there is no tolling wjio is interest
ed in the claims. 'The reason of
ail this delay in settling upon a
route for an isthmian canal may
he due to the jockeying going on
to got the United' States eorarnit-
v ‘d. to the payment of claims at
tached to either one or the other
of the routes. The only tiling the
people know with absolute cer
tainty in respect to the matter is
that they will have to pay the
bills whatever the decision as to
the route may be,

Parmer Poley O’Neal of Mun-
fordville, Ky., is able to bid de-
fance to the dentists. He is in
dependent of them. Polev had
lost his top teeth and was struck
with the idea that he would like
to have a new set. He asked a
dentist what the charges would
be, The figure named was higher
than Poley reckoned he was will
ing to pay, so lie did not give the
order. Upon his return to the
farm Poley bethought him of his
good pocket knife and an old ap
ple tree root that had been season
ing in the buggy house for more
than six years. With him to
think was to act, and it was not
long before a beautiful set of top
teeth grow out of the apple root
under the doxterious manipula
tions of Poley’s pocket knife. It
is asserted that the farm made
teeth fit perfectly and are quite-
fine looking; and that Poley can
shell corn and crack nuts with
them.—Ex.
A WortiS To Women.

Pierce, chief consulting physician

a score of associate physicians,

sultation by letter is absolutely

that they will reconsider the or
der requiring the Indians to cut
their hair and stop painting their
faces.
“We protest against such an or
der,” says the petition “as being
an order calculated to stamp out
the distinctive custom of a peo
ple who now constitute one of the
most vididly interesting and truly
artistic elements of our western
country.”
This reminds us that certain
English teachers in the larger col
leges are encouraging the distinc
tive accents of their pupils from
various sections of the country,de
claring that to set up a common
standard of pronunciation would
be to destroy all traces of individ
uality and to blur the type it rep
resents. Such a movement will
meet with the hearty approval of
the Southerner, who is tremen
dously proud of his aocent,wheth
er it is characterized by the broad
“a” of the Virginian, the peculiar
vowel of the South Carolinian or
the omission of the final conso
nant by the average Georgian. ,
In spite of our Unity of gov
ernment, and our singleness of
purpose in all praise-worthy deeds
we are a varied people in this
great land of ours, and there is
no more reason why Oharleston-
ese, for instance, should be ex
changes for Bostonoso, than that
we who live in comparative
warmth the year around should be
asked to dress exclusively in the
furs most acceptable in our
northernmost boundries.
While provincialism is a deplor
able thing, as is free and easy lib
erties with the queen’s, (or is it
the king’s now?) English, neve-
tlieless, it is a most welcome va
riation to hear this woman speak
ing in suoh a manner' as to indi
cate positively that Bhe is from
the South, and that man to so
handle our mother-tongue that no
doubt can possibly exist in the
minds of his hearers as to his hav
ing come from Maine.
Passing of the City Weekly.
The weekly edition of the big
daily is passing. The New York
Herald discontinued its weekly
several years ago. The New York
Weekly Tribune, which was once
considered indispensable in so
many homes, is gone, and the
publishers are trying to establish
in its place a literary weekly and
an agricultural paper. There is
but one answer to the cause of its
displacement in the home. The
country paper has so improved
that it contains all the Tribune
furnished and the local news be
sides. The ideal country weekly
today is a better home paper than
the Tribune ever was.—Pointers.
President Roosevelt the other
day paid $6,009 for a Missouri
raised thoroughbred saddle horse.
The horse is in the president’s
stables in Washington. Prince
Hem*} 1 saw the animal and was
much pleased with it; so pleased,
indeed, that he authorized nego
tiations with the breeder of the
presidnnt’s horse for the purchase
of its full brother. The prince, it
is understood, will present the
horse he expects to secure to his
brother, the emperor.
How to Our© the Grip.
Remain quietly at home and
take Chamberlain’s Cough Reme
dy as directed and a quick recov
ery is sure to follow. That reme
dy counteracts any tendency of
the grip to result in pneumonia,
which is really the only serious
danger. Among the tens of thous
ands who have used it for the
grip, not one case has ever been
reported that did not recover.

These egg statistics are from the
U. S. Census Bufeau figures:
The American hen laid last year a
total of 10,000,000,000 eggs.
The total value, at an average of
10 cents a dozen, was $138,000,000.
The hen’s earnings were greater
than those of the entire postal sys
tem.
The sum realized would have paid
the entire expense of the war de
partment.
Enough eggs were consumed in
New York alone to pay for another
Brooklyn bridge.
The eggs laid last year weighed
more than 1,000,000,000 pounds.
If the eggs were equally divided
among the inhabitants of the coun
try each person would get 141.
The number of chickens in the U.
S. is estimated at 284,000,000.
