Why He Brought His Alone.

Whenever the penurious manager of the large store wanted to sharpen his pencil he would enter the shipping department and borrow a knife from one of the boys. Sometimes the boys did not have their knives with them, but there was one lad, Tommy Breen, who always could be depended upon. “How is it, Tommy,” asked the manager one day as he whittled his pencil. ‘•ilint you always have your knife with you and the other boys haven’t?” Tommy haoitated for a moment, then, gathering courage, said: “The wages I get aren't enough for me to afford more than one pair of pants,”—Harper’s Weekly.

PMUM CANAL GOST CUNT BE ESTHD

Amount First Considered Necessary Has Been Increased and May Need Stretching Again. IT’S ONLY A ROUGH GUESS NOW. —•< , " . » Colonel Goethals Expects to Make Forecast Next Year —Unknown Difficulties May Be Met. Washington correspondence: The wonder is growing among Senators and Representatives on what basis the original estimators fixed the probable cost of the Panama Canal. There is a halfway suspicion that the first estimators didn’t business or were afraid to give out a truth that they thought might be appalling. With the characteristic bluntness of a soldier Colonel George W. Goethals has said that he can only guess at the total cost of the canal, but that he believes it will not exceed $230,000,000, excluding the original purchase price. As another has put it, “the estimated cost of the Panama Canal pace in the ascending scale with the cost of living. Every year thef price the United States will have to pay for the water way is marked up.” First estimates put it as low as $140,000,000. Then came what was called an authentic estimate to the effect that the country would have to expend $184,000,000 before the canal could be completed. Colonel-Goethals’ guess is $300,000,000, and he is frank to say that the limit may have to be raised at least once again. Ha. Appropriated Eiarhty Million.. Up to the present about $80,000,000 has been appropriated by Congress for the canal work. July 1, 1907, $31,000.000 of the sum remained unexpended. When Colonel Goethals succeeded Mr. Stevens last March as engineer In charge he found that circumstances warranted an increase of the working force and an enlargement of the plan of the work. It was in August that the soldier-engineer told the'Secretary of Whr that if the work was to be pushed at the rate at which it has been pushed since the army took charge the appropriation which had been made for the year ending June 30, 1908, would be used up by the first of the calendar year.

STEAM SHOVEL AT WORK IN CULEBRA CUT.

This bit of Information which was cheering to those who hoped for a speedy completion of the canal work, waa given to President Roosevelt, who at once ordered Colonel Qoethals not to stay his hand, but to go ahead at the same labor rate and incur a deficiency. The Colonel, like a good soldier, obeyed orders, and now the appropriation made last year, which supposedly was large enough to provide for the continuation of the work until July 1..19U8, Is exhausted and an urgent deficiency bill calling for $11,000,000 is pending in the House. • The Secretary of War hag told the Seuate committee on interocennlc canals that the work was kept going at high speed and that the deficiency was Incurred because It was his belief there was greater economy In going ahead than In lagging. Of the Increased cost of the canal over the original estimates the Secretary of War has sold: “The widening of the locks In accordance with the request of the Navy Department has been approved, and It means an additional cost of about 10 per cent In the construction of the locks. The locks themselves at now projected will coat $52,000,000, and this means an addition of $5,000,000 to the price."

In talking to the Senators Colonel Goethnls used the word “guess” when he was telling them about the price of the completed canal. At first the Senators didn't approve the word, but they came to untHrratamd that the actual coes was paat the power of man to Mtlmate accurately, and ao they fell In with the soldier’s idea and feel that it waa better to have indefinite state-'' menta than definite statements which might bring in their woks disappoint-

NEARLY BURIED ALIVE.

Mm in Burial Casket tot Twenty* Four Hours Now Getting WelL William Young of Savannah, Mo., barely escaped being buried; alive, regain ng consciousness only an before the time set for the fnneral. Young had been ill a long time, and a few days ago he apparently died. A physician was at his bedside, and he said the man was lisad. The body was prepared for burial by an undertaker and placed in a casket. Friends of the dead man went to the house their sympathy to the family, among the visitors being Rev. J. E. McLaughlin, pastor of the church to which the Youngs belong. The mourners had assembled for the burial, and the time was only an hour distant when Rev. Mr. McLaughlin went Into the room where corpse lay to take $ last Jook at his lifelong friend. While gazing at the face he thought he detected the twitching of a muscle. He looked again, and for the second time was sure he could see a slight movement. The body of Young had been lying in the casket 24 hours and was cold. The minister feared that he had been mistaken, and not desiring to cause excitement among the people assembled for the funeral, went quietly out and summoned a physician, who soon found that Young was still alive. Then the preacher went out and announced that the funeral would be postponed. At that time Young was sitting up in his coffin and was seen by some Of those in the next room. They fled from the uncanny sight. ‘ Young was removed from the coffin and placed on a bed, and it is believed that he will fully recover.

Russian Reformer Reports,

Before the York Civic and a great audience at Carnegie Hall, over which Bishop Potter presided, Prof Paul Milyukoff delivered a message to the American people from the Constitutional Democratic party of Russia. Prof. Milyukoff, who is a leader of that party and -a St. Petersburg in the present DHifia’T gave it as his candid opinion that instead of the eat"' ishroeut of a Dourna having been the beginning of a rapid, movement toward free forms of government, it had been in reality the high tide, and that there had been actual retrogression ever since. The Radicals had tried to rush matters only to meet crushing defeat from the government by the use of the military power. His party aimed at parliamentary power to limit that of the Czar. The liberties of the manifesto had never been recognized by the government, and in the two years sinee it was issued 18,274 persons had been condemned for political offenses, of which 2,217 were sentenced to death. The revolution had now become a battle of classes —the landholding classes against the peasants and workmen. A majority of the present Douma were elected by 19,000 landlords. Prof. Milyu-

koff came all the way from the Russian capital to make this one speech and had to start back in two days. lie made a hasty trip to Washington to meet prominent Congressmen at a dinner given by Mr. Parsons of New York.

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

The stand taken by the Chicago School Board fur Lidding the members of secret fraternities to take part in literary or athletic contests has now been upheld by the Appellate Court. Because the faculty of Washington University, St. Louis, had expelled J. A. Allen, editor of the college paper, on account of nn editorial scoring the professors, the student body voted to discontinue all college work in case their demand for the reinstatement of Allen was not acceded to. The third great athletic stadium to be built by American universities has just been completed at Syracuse. It is 070 feet long, cover? six and one-third acres and will seat 20,000 spectators comfortably. It is constructed of concrete and is modeled after the old Roman and Greek arenas. Cleveland has been selected as tht place of meeting for the forty-sixth annual convention, of the National Educational Association, June 20 to July 3, IJXiS. This convention will be the fiftieth anniversary of the first regular convention, which was held in Cincinnati In 1858. Mince then the association has met in Ohio only once, in 1870. At that time a reorganisation was effected, and the name changed from National Teachers’ Association to National Educational Association. A formal program for ths convention will be mads public soon

Barnyard Repartee,

“They’ve reduced me to half rations,” grumbled the old hen, “and they still expect me to lay eggs ! Well, I’ll fool ’em!” “What are you going to do?” inquired the rooster. “I’m going to lay down!” squawked the old hen. From which it must not be rashly inferred that the common or barnyard variety of domestic fowl is slangy. The old bird may be merely deficient in a knowledge of the finer points of grammar.— Chicago Tribune.

Nothing Too Good For tho American People

rate of OVER A MILLION BOXES A MONTH, proving: that the American people recognize, that what is BEST FOR THEM is none too good. Why this enormous patronage ? The answer is simple: Cascarets are pure, clean, sweety mild, .fragrant, harmless but effective little tablets for the treatment and cure of Constipation and all Bowel Troubles. They are put up in neat little enamel boxes, easy to buy, easy to carry (in vest-pocket or purse), easy to take and easy of action, always reliable, always the same, they “work while you sleep’* and wake you up feeling fine in the morning. They not only regulate the movement and stimulate the muscular walla as the bowels, but they keep the ENTIRE CANAL CLEAN and antiseptic, forcing out and destroying all disease germs that breed in the accumulated filtn anUa* promptly and regularly discharged. Therefore, they ara a great preventive es disease, and may bo taken continuously as a precautionary measure. The new Pure Drugs Act, adopted by Congress on June 30, 1908, and fat effect January 1, 1907, is a GOOD LAW and means better and PURER drugs for the American People. We endorse it and will live up to it in SPIRIT and LETTER, —an easy task, as we have always been actuated by the same principles and no changes are required in oar formula or pack* ag * Ws adopted OUR OWN PURE DRUG LAW in IS9B when the first box of Cascarets came on the market snd have lived and worked and produced under it ever aince. To-day,after a record of nearly 100,000,000 boxes sold. Cascarets STAND the greater in PURITY, QUALITY snd MEDICINAL MERIT than aay other preparation for Bowel trouble in all the world. This should be a great argument for any one, to try Cascarets AT ONCE, and be healthier and happier for it Some people nave CHRONIC CONSTIPATION with all the norrors derived from it; others have HABITUAL CONSTIPATION from carelessness snd neglect, but nearly EVERYBODY has OCCASIONAL CONSTIPATION, which, i< not promptly taken care of is liable to result in its degeneration into the yom forms and cause great suffering and perhaps death. Cascarets, if taken; patiently and regularly, will remedy all of theao awful troubles, hut if taken promptly, at the very first sign of an irregularity of the Bowels, will act as the FINEST PREVENTIVE ever discovered and will keep all the machinery running in good order. Hi We advise yon to get a little 10c box of Cascarets TO-DAY snd saury R in your purse or vest pocket. Take one when you feel anything nmienal about your bowels. Your own druggist" will sell yon the little box, under GUARANTY of satisfaction or money refunded. All druggists, 10c, 23c, Me,
