RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF 67fc Jtjferiffl & A 8teamer Experience Party. Tho description of this novel party will bo in time to assist many of you who want to give welcomes home to many of your friends who have fared abroad this summer. Ocean travel and trips on tho great lakes clear through to Huffalo have been very popular, as thoro have been eorno palatial steamers put on this year which have given voyagers a sense of security on our treacherous Inland seas. With all this in mind tho hostess asked eight friends, every one of whom had taken a "steamer" vaca tion. Two of them having made tho old-fashioned "befo' do war" trip from St. Louis to New Orleans on "tho river." Tho gucstB wero asked to glvo only fifteen-minute descriptions of what was to them tho most Inter esting or exciting part of their trip, and thus you see two hours of tho afternoon "from threo to six" was beautifully filled. While one person "talked," tho others had their needle work. Tho affair wan hold on the porch and thcro woro as many steamer chairs as tho hostess could borrow. After all had arrived, the twelve-year-old boy of tho household dressed as a ship's steward, served hot beef tea and "pilot biscuit," and during tho afternoon tho time was -sounded by bells. Rooks of travel, guide books and literature so abundantly furnish ed by steamship lines was scattered about, and thero were many souvenir postals with a desk equipped for writing should anyone wish to send a last message back by tho pilot, who camo in dressed as a sailor (a dear little chap in middy suit with "First Pilot" on his capband). After each ono had had her turn with no interruptions of mal da mcr, delicious refreshments were served, and everyone agreed that it had been a most delightful nftcrnoon, as it had given good friends tho opportunity of meeting and hearing each othor'H experiences Just when they wero fresh in tho mind, and all were ho enthusiastic. Lists of books to read were exchanged and plans begun for "next" year's vacation and tho next "steamer experience" party, which was voted should be an annual affair. A Corn Roast. Our amusements are. greatly gov erned by the season of the year, and right now the popular thing Is a "corn roast." Of course they are not new, but there is something decided ly alluring In a moonlight night, a big bonfire, Just tho right crowd, and plenty of nice, sweet roasting ears, not forgetting sweet potatoes, bacon, coffee and the delicious sandwiches the glrlB know how to make. Even the effete east is having corn roastB with the smartest of the smart set as host and hostess. Motor cars are often discarded and hayracks with four horses call for tho guests. If a colored man who knows "just how" Is available, he may be called upon to superintend the broiling of the bacon, roasting the potatoes, corn, and making the coffee; if not, the men of the party will be found quite capable. Banjos, guitars and the cushions from tho wagon add to the enjoyment after the repast, then the affair usually winds up with an In formal dance at tho homo of the host ess. These are delightfully informal affairs. Here Is a list of sandwiches that the girls tell me aro especially nice for such occasions. I cannot give tho rules, but I am sure you all will know how to go about making them Just from the names. They Pretty Designs to nmetm mum mMm , : J Every bride-to-be likes to have her underwear marked distinctively. These little violet and bowknot wreaths can easily be traced over the newspaper with a sharp Implement after impression paper has been placed between the newspaper and the fabric. should bo wrapped separately in wax ed paper: Stuffed olive and egg sandwich. Olive and English walnut sandwich Pimento cheese sandwich. The pi monta cheese comes In Jars already prepared for use. Sardine sandwich, made with may onnalse dressing. Minced ham and chicken sandwich Take a goodly supply of paper nap kins and drinking cups. A Peach Luncheon. A peach luncheon will bo rensott ablo ns long as peaches arc ripe and tho weather favorable, for the In vita' tlons say "luncheon served on ttit lawn." Hut tho hostess has provided the decorations of tho hotisu so as tc give an outdoor effect as much at posslblo should the day prove incle ment. If tho day 1b flno a round table spread with whlto is to set under a canopy rondo of awning material, sup ported at tho four corncru by stakes driven firmly Into the ground, Howp of Chlncso lanterns will decorate thin outdoor dining room. The table con torpleco Is to bo a pink enameled basket laden with poaches, leaves and vines. For place cards there will bo cardboard peaches done in water color with a green leaf or two. Hero Is the menu, which Is unusunlly dainty: Tohinto nnd caviar canapes, Jellied veal or tongue with potato croquettes, olives, shrimp in nsplc with a mnyon nalso dressing, cheese wafers. A de licious peach omelet conies next nerved with brondled peaches. Tho desBcrt Is to bo peach Ico cream In shape of tho real fruit, the leaves be ing tnado of plstnrhio Ico cream. They will be placed on plates cov ered with real peach leaves. If desir ed tiny liquor glasses may bo filled with peach brandy. The hostess Is to wear a pink gown with u stock and belt of yellow. This is a very good combination providing Just tho rlgh shades are selected. A Bonnet Party. Now do not Bay that bonnet parties aro old, until you hear about this one, which was given for twenty children. When all had arrived the hostcsH passed threo sheets of colored tissue paper, some squares of crepe puper of gay color, and two fancy paper nap kins to each child. On n center tu bio she puts pins, scissors, tubes of pasto and Httlo towels and a bowl of water for wiping tho pasto off of finger-tips. She Bald a Imlf-hour would bo allowed for making any kind of a hat, cap or bonnet, tho makor to don tho headgear and when time was call ed they wero to form in lino nnd pass boforo tho judges, who would award tho prizes. Such n busy tlmo as those children had; they wero really most clever, too, In building their hats. Tho old est guest was eleven and tho young est eight and some of the work wan excellent. Tho prizes wore doll band boxos containing lovely hats for dolly and the ice cream was served in tho dearest straw hats (doll size) lined with waxed paper. Tho children en joyed tho novelty nnd each one went homo with her creation on her head. It la needless to say that there were no boys at this party. The young hostess declared that boys from nlno to twelve wore "no fun." I do not know what our boy friends will say to this; perhaps some of them will mend their ways a bit, so as not to be left out of parties. MME MERRI. Smart Blouse. The satin blouse is still very smart, especially in white, and buttoned In the front with largo bell shaped but tons in satin or ivory, and either very apparent buttonholes or else thick satin loops. A Httlo embroidered pocket breaks the simplicity of tho corsage on one side, and tho little silk handkerchief placed there gives a pretty touch of color. Lace and embroidered blouses will be always pretty. Fine allover Valen ciennes lace, which does not crush and which gives such filmy effects, makes exquisite blouses, mingled with Irish lace, dotted net, etc. A narrow satin collar makes a pretty finish, A delightful chemisette of India lawn was seen in one of the big lingerie houses. It was embroidered with dots in high relief, after the fashion. Be Embroidered MORG an ie ISTHMUi & E.W.PIC " . .AAV.-. VwllL. -1 JJ t u ...

John Morgan, tho muster buc caneer, did in 1071. when ho led his band of cutthroats down from the hills upon Panama. After lie had fin ished with that big, nourishing city there was bo little left of It that tho Spanish moved llvo miles west along the coast nnd thero built n new Pan ama tho Panama wo know today. Tho story of Morgan's Justly famous exploit, often told, never grows stale. It Is it wonderful story of desperate bravery, endurance, suffering nnd ruth lesH cruelty, and as John ICsiiuemulliiR wan the first to relate It in detail, so ho has been tho best Howard Pylo lias well said: "In the case of the Kaquemi'llng history, It should bo de cidedly hands off. One touch of the modern brush would destroy tho whole tone of dim colors of the past made misty by the lapso of time." So I wish I had space to quote the en tire story of Morgan and Panama us Ksqupmcling, who was one of tho baud, tells it. Some of It, at least, must lie given In his quaint language, beginning with tho capture by n part of .Morgan'H fleet of Iirt San lxronzo nt tho mouth of tho Chagres rlvor. Says Kaquemellng: "Onptaln Hrodcly being mndo com mander, In threo days after his de parture (from St. Catherine's) ar rived In sight of tho said castlo of Chagre, by tho Spaniards called St. Lawrence. This castle Is built on n high mountain at the entry of tho river, surrounded by strong palllsadefl, or wooden walls, filled with curth, which secures them as well as tho best wall of stonn or brick. Tho top of this mountain is. In a manner, di vided Into two parts, between which Is a ditch thirty feet deep. Tho castle hath but one entry, and that by a drawbridge over this ditch. To tho land It has four bastions, nnd to tho sea two more. Tho south pnrt is to tally inaccessible, through tho crnggl ness of' tho mountain. The north Is surrounded by the river,, which hero Is very broad. At the foot of the castle, or rather mountain, is a strong fort, with eight great guns, commanding tho eutry of tho river. Not much low er are two other batteries, each of six pieces, to defend llkowlao tho mouth of tho river. . . . "No sooner had tho Spaniards per ceived the pirates, but they fired in cessantly at them with tho biggest of their guns. They came to nn anchor In a small port about n league from tho castle. Next morning, very early, they went ashoro nnd marched through tho woods to attack tho castlo on that sldo. This march lasted till two of the clock In tho nftcrnoon, bo fore they could reach the castle, by reason of tho difficulties of tho way, and Its mire and dirt; nnd though their guides served them very exact ly, yet they came so nigh tho castlo nt first that they lost many of their men by Its Bhot. they being in an open place without covert." The pirateB bravely assaulted tho castle, sword in one hand and fire ball in tho other, but were repulsed with heavy loss. Renewing tho at tnck under cover of darkness, "there happened a very remnrkable accident which occasioned their victory. Ono of the pirates being wounded with nn arrow In his back, which pierced his body through, ho pulled it out boldly at tho side of his breast, and winding a little cotton about It, ho put it Into hla musket, nnd shot it back to the cnotlo, but tho cotton being kindled by the powder, fired two or threo houses in tho castle, being thatched with palm leaves, which tho Spaniards perceived not so soon nf. was necessary; for this fire meeting with a parcel of powder, blew it up, thereby causing great ruin, and no less consternation to tho Spaniards, who wero not able to put a stop to it." Full advantage wns taken of this by tho buccaneers, and they set flro to the palings and gained a foothold within them, despite "many flaming potB full of combustiblo mntter, and odious smells, which destroyed many of tho English." All next morning tho fight raged, but about noon tho English gained a breach through which they fought their way to tho heart of tho cantlo. "Tho Spaniards who remained allvo cast themselves down from the cn6t!o into tho sea, choosing rather to dlo thus (few or none surviving tho fall) than to nslc Jiuarter for their HveB. Tho governor ilmself retrented to tho corp& du guard, beforo which wero placed two pieces of cannon; hero ho still do fowled himself, not demanding any quarter, till ho was killed with a mus ket Bhot In tho head." In a fow days Captain Morgan ar rived with tho rest of his fleet and or ganized tho expedition against Pana ma. Ho took his men by boat up tho CbagroB as far aa Cruces, now a vil lage not two mlleB from tho canal, and there landed them for tho overland march. Leaving ICO men with the I Ml m -.

For days they snuggled on, suffering Intensely for lack of food, for the Spaniards nnd Indians had destroyed tho villages and crops along the way. At one point they found a number of leathern bags, and "made a huge banquet" upon them. At another n few sacks of meal, some plantains and several Jars of wlno woro discovered In a cave. On the sixth day after leaving Cruces "ascending n high mountain, they ills covered tho South sea. This happy sight, ns If It were tho end of their Inborn, caused Infinite joy among them " Then they camo to a vule, whero they found plenty of cattle, and their period of starvation came to an end with a monstrous fount. "Cutting the flesh l,u to convenient pieces or gobbets, they threw them Into the llro and, half rnrbounded or roasted, they devoured them, with Incredible hiisto and appetite; such was their hunger, as they more resembled cannibals than Huropcaus; tho blood many times run ning down their beards to their waists." That evening the pirate bund came in sight of Panama, nnd pitched their camp, which was Ineffectually bom barded all night by tho guns of tho rlty. Next day Cuptuin Morgan led his thotiMiud bold men down tho hillside and confronted tho forces of the gov ernor of Panama, constating of two pquitdronH of horso, four regiments of foot nnd a huge number of wild bulls driven by Indians. The Spnnlardu be gan the battle, but their horso were useless, owing to tho softness of tho ground. Tho foot were held In check by tho fire of the pirates, so tho wild bulls wero dtlven forward but, fright ened by the noise of the conflict, tho animals ran away. After two) hours of fighting tho surviving Spanlnrds lied within the city walls. Six hun dred of their comrades lay dead upon tho field. Morgan at ouco attacked "Morgan's Tower," Old Panama. the city, and though tho defense was desperate, many of tho pirates being killed, Panuma fell within three hours. What Morgan did to tho devoted in habitants in tho effort to find all their hidden treasure is too horrible to re late. Soon after the capture of the city fire broko out In many quarters, and Esquemellng says tho conflagra tion was started by Morgan, though he laid tho blamo on tho Spaniards. Anyway, as tho housos were almost all built of cedar, tho entire, city was soon consumed by flames. Some threo weeks later "Captain Morgan departed from Panama, or rather from the place whero tho city of Panama stood; of tho spoils whereof ho carried away with him 175 beasts of carriage laden with silver, gold and other precious things, besides about six hundred pris oners, men, women, children and Blavos." Of old Panama naught remains but the ruins of tho cathedral, tho tower of St. Stanislaus' church and tho frag ments of a few other stouo and brick structures. For more than two ccn t Ics they havo been buried in tho jungle, but are now being brought to vlow by tho efforts of tho Panama government, which is having the un dergrowth cleared away from the ruins, ' Tho visitor to tho isthmus should not full to mnko tho trip down the Chagrea from Gatun to tho sea, re versing Morgan's route. Tho scenery along tho rlvor 1b beautiful, and the great stretch of ocean beach clean, hard, green nnd purplo Band over which Immenso breakers roll Is Ideal for bathing. Tho mnaBlvo walta of Fort San Lor enzo still Btand on tho hill at tho mouth of tho Chagres, and tho heaps of cannon balls left by tho Spaniards are yet thcro. In the dungeons of tho cnstlo are pIleB of rusted Irons the fetters which they boped to fasten on tho bodies and limbs of Morgan and hla buccaneers. . fife Jkk t&evrlSfjf .J?
