A brother editor says: "We attend
ed church some time ago and listened
to a very good sermon as sermons go.
We stood up with the brethren and
sisters while they sang the good old
hymn, 'Shall We Know Each Other
There?' While the hymn was being
sung we glanced about us and counted
about a dozen members of the congre
gation of the church who do not speak
.to each other when they meet on the
street and elsewhere. The thought
occurred to us, why should they know
each other there when they seemingly
don't know each other here?"

PANAMA CANAL IS QOINQ FAST.
Rapid Progress Makes $3,000,000 Mora
Nsctfed for Fiscal Ytar.
Construction work on the Panama
Canal Is devolplng so much faster
than was contemplated when tho es
timates for expenditures during the
fiscal year 1908 were made nearly a
year ago that It Is now estimated that
about $8,000,000 In excess of the ap
propriations could be used to advant
age In pushing forward the work dur
ing the present year.
Colonel Ooethala, the engineer In
charge, thinks It would bo In the In
terest of true economy to proceed
along this basis and ask Congress at
Its next session to make good the de
ficiency, as the argument Is made that
with present organisation and prog
ress the water way can be completed
more rapidly than by restraining ex
penditure wilthln the appropriations
now available.
In a statement given out at the of
fice of the Isthmian canal commission,
the situation Is outlined as follows:
"The time of completion of the
canal appears to depend now upon
work at the Gntun dam, rather than
the work of excavation, which has
hitherto been generally taken as the
determining feature. The progress In
this direction has been faster than an
ticipated and the appropriation made
at the last session of Congress would
not be sufficient to supply the neces
sary plant to begin laying the con
crete in the locks and dams during
the next fiscal year, although progress
already made Indicates Utat such a be
ginning Is advisable.
THE WAY OF POLITICIANS.
In the year 1900, when I was In
Kansas City at tho Democratic Na
tional convention In Convention Hall
there, a rather amusing circumstance
took place. Bryan had Just been nom
inated amid the most tumultuous sort
of hullabaloo, and people were Jump
ing to their feet, tossing their hats,
and shouting. I took a flashlight of
the New York part of tho celebration
and started to move my camera
toward another part of the house when
a messenger approached me.
"Didn't you Just take a picture of
that bunch?" he asked, pointing his
finger at the Empire State delegates.
"I did," I answered.
"Well, Mr. Croker asked me to ask
you not to print It. Take another."
He disappeared.
I looked at Croker. He was on his
feet, cheering and roaring louder than
the rest. In anticipation that I would
come back and photograph his enthu
siasm. Later In the dark room I un
derstood. You will observe from the
picture I give here (the one that Mr.
Croker didn't wish reproduced) that
he kept his seat morosely during the
first pandemonium. Croker never was
for Bryan, ami I happened to catch
him lie was sitting very languidly
in his chair, the only man of the crowd
who wasn't on his feet and cheering,
That was what was the matter.
