In writing or talking about tho Panama Canal tho superla tive degree Is very likely to bo over worked. Tho canal Itself is tho big gest thing of tho kind ovor under taken; the locks are unequalled in slzo; tho work of tho department of sanitation la tho most remarkable ever carried out, nnd ro U goes. nut thero is ono other feature of tho building of tho canal that calls loudly for the superlative degree tho commissary department and tho way In which It has fed tho Zone. Not fed It only, either, but largely clothed It and supplied it with household neces sities and even luxuries. The commissary department is a de partment of tho Panama railroad, which Is owned by tho United States end of which Chairman Goethnls is president. As officially stated: "The commissary department of tho Panama railroad Is operated by tho subsistence department of tho Isth mian Canal commission for tho pur pose of supplying employes of tho Panamn railroad and Isthmian Canal commission nnd their families with foodstuffs, wearing apparel and house hold necessities, nnd nlso supplying food for tho hotels, hospitals, messes, nnd kitchens operated by tho Isthmian Cnnnl commission and for tho United States soldiers nnd marines located on tho Isthmus of Panama, nnd ships of tho United States nnvy. It 1b esti mated that tho department supplies about 70,000 people dally, computing ono dependent for each employo. "The business of tho department for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1912, was $0,702,355.08, to transact which it Is necessary to carry a stock valued at about $1,000,000." That sounds decidedly prosaic, but In truth the operations of this great busi ness machine nro almost romantic. The vessels of tho Panama railroad In unending procession bring to tho docks at Cristobal tho vast bulk of supplies and as Continually theso nro sent out to tho scoro of stores main tained by tho department along tho routo of tho canal and at Porto Bello. Every evening each storckedpor tele graphs to tho headquarters in Cristo bal the list of supplies of which ho is In need, nnd during the night tho enrs nro loaded. At 3:45 o'clock each morn ing the long tApply train starts out from Colon. It consists of 21 cars, 11 it which nro refrigerated, and tho food and ice are distributed along tho routo to that thoy may bo delivered to tho quarters of families by 8 o'clock.. In Cristobal Is tho biggest store of all, and It compares well with tho huge department stores of American cities. There may be obtained all kinds of food stuffs, American and European; clothing for men and wo men, furniture, household wares, sup plies for travelers, cigars and cigar ettes Indeed almost anything one might call for except intoxicating drinks. Articles from foreign lands, beings Imported by the government It self, of course pay no duty, and con sequently such things as fine English chlnaware can be bought there at prices far below those charged in the states. It Is said on the Isthmus, and generally believed, that the members of congressional junketing parties which from timo to time go down to inspect the canal always carry homo with them a lot of this choice por celain. At the head of the commissary de partment 1b the subsistence officer, Col. Eugene Wilson, whoso huge phys ical bulk 1b well matched by his great executive ability. It would scorn that no better man could possibly have been found for the position, for ho haa in hand every detail of tho immense business and It runs like clockwork. Seldom Is a complaint heard from even the most exacting of housewives, and when one is registered It is cour teously received and the fault, if ono exists, promptly rectified. "Cleanliness before godliness every time" Is Colonel Wilson's motto and though it Is not posted on any wall, every employe understands that hlB Job depends primarily on his cleanli ness. In Cristobal are the great cold storage plant, bakery, coffee plant, ico plant, Ice cream plant, 'corned beef plant, butter printing plant and laun-' dry, and in every ono of them the un written rule "be clean" Is adhered to with the utmost care. Nowhere, If It can be avoidod, is there pcrspnal con tact with the food, and the numerous and Ingenious automatic machines are kept scrupulously clean. Now let's got back to figures, in ordor to obtain some idea of tho mag nitude of tho commissary department's operations. Take tho cold storage plant first. In its 192,230 cubic feet of refrigerated space aro kept constantly on band meat and vegetablo supplies for ten days at least, In tome in- -esTlESsae- sgsisisHBgalsMBVi.v: KIBfjeBBrjisaiawBkttMgSBwzawzawzawzawzawzawzawBw "rel Ms H-V?

Hnngtng In long rows la thu icy cold roomB aro tho carcasses of 400 beoveB and hogs and sheep In due proportion. In other rooms, not so cold, aro 150 toiiB of po tatoes, and vast quantities of onions, turnips, beets, carrots, cabbages, yams, celery, tomatoes nnd other veg etables. In yet other rooms aro ten tonB of poultry, and clflowlioro nro boxes of fruit without number. And this enormous supply Is daily depleted and dally renewed. Adjoining tho cold storage plant Is tho bakery, in whoso immense ovena ure baked each working 'day about 20,000 loaveB of bread, 2,200 rolls and 380 pounds of cako. Tho cofTeo de partment, which roasts and sends out about 300.000 pounds of tho roasted berry each year, receives the especial attention of Colonel Wilson, for ho is himself a groat cofleo drinker. Ho personally makes up tho formulas for tho blends, and ns something of a cof fco connoisseur myself, I enn testify that lie knows what ho is nbout when he does it. Tho people ( of tho zone, whlto nnd black alike, nro vory fond of Ice cream, and to supply the demand the commlsslary manufactures about 140,. 000 gallons a year, of threo grades. Tho first grade -is ns good Ico crcntn ns ono can got anywhere, nnd oven tho third grade Is mighty welcome nftcr a hot dny in tho Culebra Cut or tho Pedro Miguel locks. Aro you tired of figures yet? If not, please consider that the Ico plant at Cristobal makes nearly 40,000 tons ol ice a year, tho corned beef plant has an nnnual output of about 270,000 pounds, and that almost 335,000 pounds of butter 1b handled by the butter printing plant, all of tho butter being brought from tho United States. Then we will move to tho laundry. In this Bpaclous building, with Its long rows of washing machines nnd dry ing and ironing dovlces, nil tho laun dry work of tho Zone, excepting that of tho Ancoiriiospltnl, is dono, nnd In addition that of all tho steamship lines running to Colon except ono. "Wo nro now handling," said tho manager, "nn average of about hnlf n million pieces n month, nnd in tho months when tho tourists come In greatest numbers tho figures mount to about 800,000." Tho figures I havo been giving aro npproxlmato only, for thoy nro chang ing continually with changing condi tions.

Conse quently the housewito on tho iBthmus can buy at prices that aro never above those In tho states, and that nearly always aro considerably lower. An important part of the commit sary plant is tho industrial and ex perimental laboratory In Cristobal, where all tho foods aro tested and many things, such as flavoring ex tracts, are manufactured. The commission conducts more than a dozen hotels for white Americans, where good meals are furnished for 30 cents each; a score of mess balls for European laborers, whero a day's board costs forty cents, and about twenty-flvo kitchens for West Indian laborers, where board castB thirty cents a day. Something liko a million meals are served each month In these various establishments, for nearly ev ery employe of tho commission euts at a government table. It hns been raid that no private contractor in the world feeds his employes as well as 'tho Isthmian canal commission. Very few of tho men ever nto better meals than they aro getting on tho Isthmus, and this is true of tho Amer icans as well as of tho Spaniards and West Indians.

When his aged hostess learned ho was a printer, sho advised that ho open up a shop in this town; but with only a few cop per coins in his pockets he could not flnanco tho project and wont on to Philadelphia, whero he had already procured a position. Ills employer later recolved an or der from tho government of Now Jor soy for a big lssuo of paper money, nnd Franklin, as a trusted and expert foreman, was sent to Burlington to ,sot up tho print shop and print tho currency. He mado Burlington his ilionie for many months before com pleting tho work and then returned to Philadelphia, later to establish there a publishing business still In exist ence.

In Soptombor, 1861, tho Thlrty-thlrd Illinois loft Camp Butler, near Spring field, III., for tho front. On arriving al Pilot Knob, Mo., whoro Colonel Thnyei of tho First Nebraska was In com mand threo companies of tho Thirty third Illinois were statlonod on the Iron Mountain railroad: Company K (Captain I.lpplucott), with 00 men, at I.uwsoii'h Station; Company E (Cap tain milott), at Big Rlvor bridge, nbout ten miles north of Lawson's Sta tion, nnd Company B nt Victoria, 30 tulles from St. I.ouls. In addition to tho regular govern ment rations, nbuudanco of fresh milk, butter, eggs, chickens, etc., were obtained from tho country folk, and tho boys got fat, wrlten William H. Edgar of Chlcngo, In the National Tribune. I.nto In October, one morning, while tho company was at breakfast, two soldiers canie running Into camp, and reported to Captain I.lpplucott that Company E, at Big Rlvur brldgo, had been attacked by den. Jeff Thompson, tho noted guerrilla, with 700 men, and needed Immediate help. Tho captain called for 50 volunteers to go to the relief of Captain Elliott. Ab wo pro ceeded up tho track occasional shots wero heard In tho timber from Thomp son's plckuts, nnd soon after, following a big curve In tho track, we camo In night of IllnckwcU'a Station, nbout half a mllo distant, with n straight track In front, a cornfield on tho right full of corn shocks nnd a deep rocky cut extending the wholo dlstnnco on tho left of tho track. A switch, wltb soma cars, wero stnndlng on It, and some woodpiles about tho station, which afforded shelter. Tho company proceeded cautiously, wlion suddenly -a fierco volley camo from tho corn, field, nnd It was apparent nt ones that tho Johnnies had captured Com pany E, nnd wcro moving down on Company K, nnd wcro massed behind 'the cars, station nnd .woodpllos, and woro well secreted in tho corn shocks on tho right. Tho company at once ;doploycd along tho cornfield fonce, a few feet distant from tho track, and directed Its flro upon tho corn shocks, which seemed nllvo with Johnnies. And there for 20 minutes tho boys with tho old Fremont muskets in theli hands learned nbout "hot shot" all ithey enred to know. When tho captain saw that the -enemy was surrounding us ho ordered n retrcnt. A number, including the -first leutonnnt of tho company, were taken prisoners, whllo those not taken began n hasty rotreat down tho track, .encouraged greatly by tho bulletB of tho pursuing Johnnies. About n dozen of tho boys took; refuge In n cavo. Several squads ot Johnnies pnsiod and repassed the place, until finally tho first lieutenant of tho company, with sovoral men who had boon parolled, came along, and ho ordered the men to come out. This they did, and wero passed Into camp as prisoners of war. The John ,1110s fearing rolnforcemonts from the south did not pursuo tho company very far. and on arriving at camp tents wero struck, and the company marched to Mineral Point, ten miles to tho south, where 2,000 Union sol diers were encamped. Captain Elliot's entire command waa captured and at once paroled. Ob the day following the writer, in chart of a squad, proceeded on a hand oar to the cave, and secured the guns and equipments he had left there. It was a pleasure later for thla company to participate In the battle at Fredew ickstown, which put Jeff Thompson and bis raiders to flight, and drovt them out of the state. Halleck and the Teamster. General Halleck, like General Sher man, was in military aB well as per sonnl affairs a man of some odd ways. When in camp ho was accustomed to put on citizen's clothes and to private ly take a look at men and things. Dun lng ono of theso toura ho helped a teamster out of the mud, and then gnvo him a sovero lecturo for not drlr lng carefully, Tho teamster, aftei floundering through it, and, having reached tho top of the bluff, rolloved himself of volloy after volley of oaths upon everything in general, and upon General Halleck in particular, for not having the creek bridged. The crltfc cism was Just, but tho general had al ready ordered tho construction of a bridge, and, being incognito, hugely injoyed the verbal castlgation. Looks Like It.
