Just how Panama figures out that it can show an utter disregard for the at- titude of the United States: concerning the controversy over the boundary line of that republic and Costa Rica is difi- cult to understand except that it carries the impression that the United States is bluffing and that all that is necessary I1s to insist upon its demands and they | will be obtained. Panama in the first place doesn’t seem ]‘a realize that it agreed to abide by the { Interpretation of the treaty concerning the boundary line when that matter was submitted to Chief Justice White. If It had figured on receiving a decision entirely favorable to its side it can be appreciated that it was disappointed, but that does not give it any license to go back on its agreement. From the time that the treaty was interpreted and the boundary defined Panama has refused to abide by It, thus disregarding its obli- gation as one of the interested parties and indicated its determination to bring about the shedding of blood and a test of strength In order to get the matter adjusted. The matter is one where bloodshed should not be permitted. The United States took that view even before the position of Costa Rica wag endorsed by several of its neighbors and their will- ingness to support it in any conflict was manifested. This country has pl told Panama that it is in the wrong that it should abide by the decision long since rendered concerning the boundary. That advice hag not been taken in the spirit which it was given. This desires to see justice done and in it to pre- Central | seemed vent the effects of a war America, one sided though likely to be.

After the death of this wife her place was supplied by Molly Brant, a pretty sister of the Mohawk sachem, by whom ke had sev- eral children. Towards the close of her life Sir William married her in order to legitimine her children, and her descend- ants are now some of the most prominent people in Canada. Not alone the creating of ideas of service but the carrying out of such ideas is a prominent feature of Sunday School work today. A class of ten year-olds had heard with deep con- cern an account of the starving chil- dren of Armenia. They longed to help and decided to solict doughnuts, cookies and canned fruit from their mothers. They held a sale with the aid of the Sunday School teacher and realized sixty dollars with which to support starving children.

One of the fle.d officers, riding upon a fine horse, came near her, and by way of banter she asked permi; n to mount behind. Not sup- posing she could perform the exploit, he said she might. At the word she leaped upon the crupper with agility of a gazelle. “The horse sprang off at full speed, and, clinging to the officer, her blanket flying and her dark hair streaming in the wind, she flew about the parade ground as swift as an arrow.” The baronet, who was a witness of the spectacle, admired the spirit of the young squaw, and, be- coming enamored of her, took her home as his wife.
