not had a criminal trial in ten yenrs
and that in 54 counties there Is not an

William Allen White Attributes tills
condition to statewide prohibition. Of
course others attribute it to outdoor
life, prosperous farms and good peo

quoted are the most wonderful in tho
world today.
TO BE OPENED WITHOUT CERE
MONY
Thrrs will be no ostentatious dis
play when. on Auk 16, tho I'ananm
('anal will be formally opened for bus
iness.
Tho dedication ceremonies will occur
next Man’ll, when President Wilson,
members of the cabinet and officers of
the world'* navies will *«il from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. This will be
an auspicious event and will be hei
aJded 4n every country.
On Auk 16 It will be different, Her
refary Garrison shows great, good
Sense. lie is a practical man and be
have* In practical Ideas. He also shows
an admirable disregard for red tape
and formality. This early opening of
the canal may, to some extent, detract
from the official dedication, but busi
ness l» business, and there is no rea
son why the canal should remain Idle
for nearly a year and why commerce
should be denied the advantage* It
offer a.
The International fleet will play Its
part In time, and the spectacular pro
readings will attract world wide at
tent lon. There need lie no sentimen
tal worry on thta account.
The great canal Is completed. It Is
ready for public use. Mere ceremony
Is no valid excuse for withholding Its
bcuefit* from commerce. A prelimi
nary period of usefulness will be
greater tribute to this wonderful
American achievement than all the
speech making and waving or flags
that will take plsco at the official
opening In Marvh. 191st
Probably the first vessel to pais
through the great waterway will be
the Cristobal, a war department
steantwr now at Coloii. When the Cris
tobal steams from her slip to the At
lantic sntrance of the canal it w ill
mark tbs conclusion by American eu
terprise of the greatest engineering
task ever undertaken, and the culmi
nation of lO years of the hardest kind
of work agsluat physical obstacle*
which have severely taxed the abili
ties of the army engineers under Cul.
OoethaU.
Home things remain to be done to
perfect the waterway The channel
through the Culehra Cut in particular
tuust be deepened and u (dental. This
will come later While 90 feet of wa
ter will answer Immediate purposes.
It would hardly be safe to send a.iv
of our super-dreadnmights through thj
canal Just yet. This is another rea
son why the formal opening should
be delayed until March of next year
and why the >atisl should be opened
now to the ships of commerce
Dent lin ant is all right to Its place,
but sentiment should not be allowed
to interfere with business, and the
practical decision of Pooretary Garri
son will meet with general approval.

U hen Freda reached the door of the
house she knocked and after a few
minutes and not receiving an answer
h|m opened the door.
There whs no one to be seen and the
hall »was quite hare, for there was not
even a chair. Khe walked along und
opened one of the many door*, hoping
M Would lead to the dining room, but
the room was an bare an the hall.
Hut a* Freda stepped Into the room
she beard music, and at the same
time there appeared a queer looking
dark man wearing a turban and a
robe of white,
lie bowed very low to Freda, al
though he did not reply when she
asked who lived in the house.
"This must he a servant," thought
Freda, “I will ask hint for something
to eat."
He did not speak when she asked
If he would get Iter dinner, but he,
clapped his hands three times, and a
table appeared, spread wtlh a white
cloth and dainty-looking china and
silver.
nm eowro .... 51
4-OW VO »-
"I should like a chair." said Freda.
Again th • man dapped his hands
and the chair appeared.
Freda seated herself at the table
and the mun uncovered the dishes and
served the food. i
"Tills Is a queer place," thought
Freda. "This man arms to get any
thing 1 suggest by dapping his hands.
I believe I will try to furnish this
room This room should have more
furniture." said Freda.
The man In the turban bowed low
again and then clapped his hands.
Freda closed her eyes and when she
opened them there was a well fur
nished room.
"You ran go now." Freda told the
man In the turban, “but how will you
know when 1 want you?"
Me touched Ids forehead and then
unveil his arms toward,the walls.
"Mo you mean that all I have to do
Is to think and the music will sound
when I want you?" she asked.
He bowed again, and rFedg knew
that was what he meant.
It was .tow dark, and Freda un
dressed am) went to bed, and In a
short tittle she was asleep-
The next morning when she awoke
she thought she was in the old wom
an's house with all the work to do.
for she was sure that she had been
dreaming.
She sat up In bed and looked about
There were all the pretty furnishings
for which she had wished and the sun
vv*n shining.
Freda Jumi ed up and dressed and
ran down to the dining room.
All this time the old woman and
her laxv sun had been having a verv
unpleasant time
They were asleep, you will remem
her. when Freda went to the chlmne..
When they awoke they called Freda
and when she did not answer they
looked everywhere for her. The got
after a while saw the key.
"What is this." he asked, touching
tt with his finger. The door flew open
and his mother tried to pull him ImcV.
but he dragged her along wtlh him
sin* the door closed
The* found themselves in the same
path that Freda had taken, and pres
ently they saw the Hon.
He (trowled and ran toward them,
frightening the old woman and her son
■so that they ran townrd the three
roads.
After running quite a distance’ they
looked around Hnd found that the lion
was not In sight.
I hey walked along for a long time,
the old woman scolding her son and
telling him he was the eaune of all
the trouble because he opened the door
to the chimney. At laid they were so
tired they laid down and went to sleep
In the morning they saw the house on
the Island and they began calling for
help.
Freda was Just coming out of tho
door of the house and heard them
She ran to the boat and got into it,
repeating the sending lines:
“ Away, away, I wlah to rid,
Over the water smoothly glide.
I wonder who they ran he?" thought
kreda as the boat glided along
She was so frightened when she saw
lie old woman that she began to
tremble.
The lazy eon recognized her and he
ca! ed to his mother: "Pull her hair!
Pull her hair! She la a witch!"
I he old woman was as angry as her
son and atepped Into the boat to do as
he told her.
As She did so over went the boat
and kreda went Into the water with
her.
The son at the same time saw the
lion running toward him, and to es
cape he plunged into the water.
Hut while the old woman and her
son were struggling in the river. Freda
was not having any trouble, for the
water aemed to flow around her and
she walked on dry land
The lion was walking beetde her and
Freda said: "Ho save them; I do not
want them to drown."
"Very well." said the ’»on. "you will
not mint this river any more, and ts
k >i>u will clap your hand* and wish,
you can save them."
Kreda clapped her hands and w ished
them safe beside her.
The water disappeared and the old
woman and her son walked toward he*
They were very meek, for the fright
they hnd Just received had taken all
the temper from them
"Come with tile.” said Freda, “and l
will give you dry clothes and some
food; you must be hungry."
But the lion stood in the doorway
"No." lie said, "they cannot come 11*
here This Is your home hut they
cannot live wtih you; they ha\c been
too unkind and hard-hearted; they
must live in the‘little house by th* 1
gate and hack of the house and work
for you. The son must take care of
tin* grounds and the garden and the
old woman must help In the house."
Frt'da took them to the comfortable
little house by her gate and they pr<m\-
ised to do the work and never bother
anyone.
The old woman and her son kspt
their promise and did their work, an 1
If they ever thought It wal Strang*
they were working for the poor gtrl
they once abused they did not betray
tiie thought.

HOW MAX LEARNED TO CLIMB
By VIRGINIA VALE.
Once upon a time there was a boy by
the name of Max. He liked to play ail
kinds of games and was a great fa
vorite with all the boys, hut one thing
he was afraid to do was to climb. He
tried often, but as soon as he was a
few feet from the ground he would
turn and come back. His friends
could not understand why he was
afraid and laughed at him.
One day his mother had a head
ache and asked Max If he would stay
in the yard while she took a nap. He
aa l on the porch and began to whit
tle out a heat, when several of his
boy friends caine along and said:
“We are going swimming come along
Max.”
"I can’t," he replied. "I must stay
In the yard." "Better try to climb that
apple tree," called back one of th.-
hoys and the others laughed and
walked on. This made Max quite
angry and he said to himself, “some
time 1 will learn to climb.”
Just then he heard the fire gong
and the fire engines came rushing
past and stopped a few houses dow .a
the street. Max’s mother dkl not
wake and Max knew she would rath
er sleep. He watched a few minutes
and all at once a big spark came fly
lng toward his house and dropped
near him. another followed and light
ed on the roof and began to bum.
Max did not know what to do but
he knew the spark must he put out
without disturbing his mother. He
remembered that there was a laddi r
In the barn and he ran and brought
It and put It up against the house.
Without thinking he climbed up,
tugging the garden ho. e wtlh him, and
turned It on the burning house
be carefully wet down the whole
roof ami turned Just in time to see
his father and the boys come Into the
yard.
The boys called: "Gee you are a
dandy fireman. I thought you couldn't
climb?"
Then Max for the first time real
ized that he had climbed up higher
than the apple tree and hail not been
afraid hi all. After that he was climb
ing most of the time and his mother
said: "Max, I almost wish you had
never learned to climb.”

SANITATION.
“The British Army authorities,’’
says the Literary Digest, quoting from
American Medicine, New York, “have
concluded that -vphoid vaccine con
fers no protection on those who are
specially susceptible to typhoid fever."
American Medicine says: “In the
meantime. the tremendous strides
made by sanitation began to show re
sults which were also erroneously at
tributed to the vaccine. This is a ser
ious mater, since it tended to discred
it the means which have so markedly
reduced typhoid fever elsewhere."
Little matters of increased sanita
tion are, of course, of small account
when a new vaccine can be Intro
duced.
