New York, Aug. 27.—As the result of
President Roosevelt's coming visit to
Panama 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 Jn 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.
8tevens 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
velt returns from his trip.

Fulton, and the Cameragraph will
make up the program of attraction,

bill Is the foundation for the declara
tion that the offering will be one of
the best of the park season.
Ouyer and O'Nell are slated with the
stronge: t and cleverest comedy duos
In the profession. Ouyer Is the orig
inator of the clever specialty that Is a
feature of "Babes In Toyland," and his
act as will be presented this week at
the Casino promises to be the laughing
hit of the season.
Stuart Barnes, the "Chesterfield of
Vaudeville," will remain for another
week. Barnes Is without a doubt the
most refined entertainer In his class
today. He Is the feature of any bill
he appears with, and goes from Atlan
ta as one of the big features that will

steln's Victoria In New York on next

tor Is without doubt one of the moat
promising young actors now before the
public. Last season he made a com
plete tour of the United States, going
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the Canadian frontier to the gulf
of Mexico. The play Is so well and fa
vorably known here that It Is but
necessary to announce Its coming
which Is sufficient to excite public In
terest among those who appreciate and
enjoy high class comedy.
Wife of Millionaire
Undergoes Operation
JESSIE AND JERUSHIE
By VIRGINIA SCOTT ALLEN.
"Jerush|e, If we Just didn't have the the most desirable place In the whole
dishes to wash we would be happy. I’d stream. Soon all four were seated on
rather cut wood any day than wash, '
wash, wash.” After a pause she added,
very conclusively; "J wlsht I wux
boy, anyhow."
Well, I'd rather bo 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.”
"YVlshln' aln'L washln' dishes, so If
we are a-going to the sleddln’ hill to
try our new boards we'd as w#ll clear
olt this table and wash these dishes.”
Forthwith Jerushle and Jessie pulled
themselves together, yawned and
stretched, and began their distasteful
task, their tongues all the while as
busy as their hands. Soon \he table
was cleared, and the dishes carried to
the kitchen In the yard, ready to be
washed. Jess carried the dlshpan to
the atove, 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
wush? Well, we have them to wash
and dry three times every day, and
there are—how many days In the year
—J00; well, .three hundred times J"—
"But there's 365 days in the year,
Jess, 'cause I remember I had to stay
In 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 Jerusb 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 nandi full of
dishes, carrying them back 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 fish pole; where Is
It? You know where It Is."
"You're craxy; it ain't my day to
keep up with your flxhin' pole."
"You’d Just as well stop your foolin',
for If you don't get It I am going to
tell ma."
-Po’ little 'Innle,' he's lost his fish
pole. Hush little baby, don'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.”
“Bam. 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 hpd been Dick's fish
ing pole she would Immediately have
made some effort to find It, but Sam-
top of the log with rods and lines fish
ing.
Quiet reigned, the silence broken <5nly
by the trill of a bird, or the saucy
bark of 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, shp 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. 11 ust think,
school begins In Just three weeks!
Sometimes I wish 1 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 Ix-
xard." Doubtless the poor teacher
would have smiled had she heard the
criticism passed upon her.
The sun had begun to drop behind the
hills when th^y prepared to quit their
elevated perch. Slowly they gathered
3 p their fishing tackle, slung their poles
cross 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 th«
feet of their devoted queen, the one
person that they all Joined In serving >
and adoring—mother.

The kitchen windows were closed.
8am and Dick mechanically followed
Jerush and Jess out Into the yard,
where the latter picked up their new
"sledding boards” that were resting be
side the kitchen steps. Two faded
calico bonnets dangling on the sturdy
little shoulders were silently pulled
over the faces of their owners.
As a matter of course Jess and Je
rush knew precisely where that fish
R ole was, but It was Jess’ plan to keep
er 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, wasned her face and brushed her
hair, all the while discussing with Je
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

of the result as long as possible, and
Sam's patience being worn and thread

'That's a bargain. Now hold up

the treasure.
