fortable looking old gentleman in the
white linen tuxedo , according to Pana-
jna correspondent. The uncomforta-

"I'm looking for the way out , " he

"Next time I come down here I'll
ibring a dress suit , " he said.
"They always do , the second time , "
said the old gentleman soothingly.
"Sit down and cool off. Ten years ago
we danced in pajamas and watched
the government revolve every twen
ty-four hours , but now we're nice and
civilized. "
"My son , " added the gray hair
ed isthmian. "I've heard that farewell
romance and last frontier wish since
'before you were weaned. But there
are plenty of last frontiers in this
world that will last a good while and
you're sitting on one of them right
now.
"The country I mean lies partly in
the republic of Panama , partly in the
republic of Colombia , and doesn't give
ad for either of them. It begins
within thirty miles of where we are
sitting and runs for 400 miles or so
down into South America. Just how
far I can't tell you , for no white man
has ever made the trip. "

"For our kind , yes. Full of little

"But who does all this murdering ? "
"They call them the San Bias In

the whole story.
"When the Spaniards hit these parts
in the old days it was h 1 for the na

than the wood cuts in any edition of
Las Casas to learn that.
"The first governor of Panama , Pe-
drarias too , stepping past that window
with that pretty trained nurse
from Ancon hospital has a million
murders to his discredit , and he and
the other conquistadores wiped out ev
ery native tribe but one. This outfit
living in a country that is Satan's pet
hothouse and soon getting hold of
smuggled firearms , managed to keep
their independence. They are as free
today as before Columbus came over
and as exclusive as Tibet before
Younghusband's expedition.

little chaps not much above five feet

black hair.

and promenade and smoke.James B.
McXamara and J. J. McXamara , whose
dynamiting operations cost twenty-one
lives , are escaping the prison hardships
like those of Sing Sing.
The San Quentiu prison , in which
they are serving their terms of life
imprisonment and fifteen years , re
spectively , is the prison de luxe of the
United States , if not of the world. By
some it is called the "criminals' para
dise" and likened more to a summer
resort or country , residence than a
prison.
In this prison de luxe the inmates
are confined in the ceils but eleven
hours a day. The rest of the time
they are either making jute bags in
the factory that is a part of the prisoner
or playing baseball , swimming , read
ing under shade trees , while at the
same time enjoying a smoke , or else
roaming about the island and enjoy
ing the view of passing steamships.
In the evenings they are allowed to'
have a candle with which to read in
their cells , and if they desire can cook
a rarebit for themselves.
Hard work is unknown. The pris
oners , numbering l.SOO , including the
McNamaras , are obliged to make so
many jute bags between the hours of
7 in the morning and 5 o'clock in the
evening. If they make the required

London. Canada is now waiting an
"emigration de luxe , " which is to take
place this year. Several members of
the British peerage are going to- take
up farming in Canada in the spring ,
and a large number of peers will make
their annual tour of inspection of their
Canadian estates.
The explanation of the titled exodus
lo Canada is due in part to modern
legislation and in part to the fact that
Canada affords freedom and natural
life unobtainable in England , it is
said.
Inquiry resulted in a long list of
what are known as "gilt-edge set
tlers" and "emigrants de luxe" being
discovered. .
"There are enough titled persons
living in Onada , or interested in the
country , to open a house of peers
Df their own. " said a leading railway
official , "and , with the duke of Con-
baught as governor general , we have
all the material to go ahead and start
a colonial kingdom.

Madrid. A beautiful carved ivory
crucifix , which was purchased for the
sum of $10 at a rag fair in Rous , Cata

ed to be one of the finest carvings of
Leonardo da Vinci.
Ten years ago the purchaser left
this crucifix with her other posses

had ever been attached to the object ,
except as a souvenir , until some
weeks ago. when a person who was
visiting the house offered $500 for it.
Senora Mayner refused to part with
the crucifix , and she also rejected a
further offer of $75.000 from an anti
quarian who had heard of the incident
and examined the crucifix. A third
offer of $125.000 is now said to have
been received from an American col
lector.

Dozens of those imprisoned there , in
stead of awaiting with glee the hour
of their freedom , witness its approach
with misgivings , for they realize they
will have to go forth to battle in a
competition that will afford them few
of the pleasures and luxuries common
in the prison.
The "criminals' paradise" is official

The federal government sends prison

ball teams play for the championship
of the prison league ; the handball ex

horse pulled down by a pack in broad
daylight in sight of their home. The
wolves would only leave the carcass
after several shots were fired.
The wolf pelts are valuable and
there is a moderate state bounty , so
that it is a frequent occurrence for a
settler to add considerably to his an

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT
"When my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then it would break out
again and it spread all over his head ,
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
it kept spreading until it was on his
hands and arms. I bought several
boxes of ointment , gave him blood
medicine , and had two doctors to treat :
him , but he got worse all the time , j
He had it about six months when a :
friend told me about Cuticura. I sent t
and got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent ,
a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of '
'
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to Im
prove. He began to take long naps
and to stop scratching his head. After :
taking two bottles of Resolvent , two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes of
Soap he was sound and well , and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else i
would have cured him except CutI- I

"I have bought Cuticura Ointment j
and Cuticura Soap several times since '
