Panama. A lot of discussion and
some feeling has been caused in
Panama by the recent publication
in the United States and focal press
of an alleged desire of some of
Panama's public men to see this
country annexed to Costa Rica.
Senor Don Santiago de la Guar
dia stated to an interviewer some
time ago that it was his hope that
at some time there would be a great
federation of Central American
States on the order of the United
States of North America. With
Panama and Costa Rica as a nu
cleus, he said, such a consumma
tion might not be as chimerical as
many supposed. The two Govern
ments mentioned were used as ex
amples, as enjoying each a stable
Government, free from revolutions,
in good circumstances financially,
with a splendidj-eputationat home
and abroad, and. with futures that
are not beclouded anduueertain.
In the interview the word ' 'an
nexation was not used or suggest
ed. In is that term to which the
people of Panama except. Thev
rebel at any such idea being enter
tained either by the people of the
United States or Costa Rica. Few
countries occupy'so enviablea post
tion as Panama, and, knowing it,
they will not willingly .throw
their opportunities away.
It is not asserted by Senor de la
Guardia that the idea of a federa
tion ot central American btates is
new. but the Idea is gaining growth)
Leaders of thought in the South
are seeing the value and utility of
the same honesty in Governments
that is appreciated in individuals
Panama and Costa Rica are the
leaven being used to knead public
opinion to that conclusion.
Senor de la Guardia is a native
of Panama, but for about twenty
years lived in Costa Rica- When
Panama became an independent
RepublicShe was appointedjto rep
resent it in a diplomatic capacity
in Costa Rica. When the interna:
disorder of last year shook the
peace of Panama President Amador
summoned Senor de la Guardia
home to assume the office he now
holds.
The small fruit grower who likes
strawberries should get enough
plants tp start growing them for
himself. When the plants for
field setting are grown at home
there is not so much danger their
doing poorly. The home grown
sets can be taken up with plenty
of earth about the roots, and im
mediately set in the field, which
prevents them from drying out so
easily. Plants shipped from a dis
tance are very delicate but a
sufficient number can be coaxed to
thrive so that in a season enough
new sets to plant a large patch
will form. When putting out
plants see that they are not set too
deep nor too shallow: and after
setting draw the earth up around
them loosely with a hoe to form a
sort of mulch that will hold the
moisture. Keep down weeds and
grass and cultivate well. Before
planting see that the earth is well
pulverized and in good condition.

A Unique Weddinng Present.
Anong the numerous wedding
presents received by Mr. and Mrs.
A. B. Lester last night, was one
unique "present" which came in
last, but which proved -not the
least appreciated. The present in
question was a plain bale of hay,
but it evoked much laughter when
the crowd rushed to see what the
huge present was in the wrapping.
Attached to the bale was a placard
which read on one side: "Mr. and
Mrs. Austin B. Lester, Newly-wed
Avenue, City of Honeymoon,
State of Matrimony." On the
reverse side it read: "With best
wishes that your happiness may
grow as did this humble bale of
hay, and your pathway through
life be always as green as this used
to be. Wilbur Dennet, E. C. Born,
C. B. McCullom." Corpus Christi

Chicago, III. Because Mrs-
Kate Fitzibbon Hamblin desired ,
to become a successful business
woman instead of taking up the
duties of domestic life, her hus
band, Eugene Hamblin, has sued
for a divorce. - "
Hamblin is president" .pf the
Hamblin Printing Company in
Austin. In his bill the com
plainant gives a detailed account
of the differences between him and'
Mrs. Hamblin, because of her
alleged declaration that she would
rather be a successful business
woman than a good housekeeper."
The Hamblins were married Nov-
3, 1897, and have two children
Helen, 7 years old, and Eugene, 5
years old. The husband says they
were happy until October, 1901,.
when his wife announced that she
had obtained a position as a sales
woman and that it was her purpose
to give up home life for a "busi
ness career."
Then, Hamblin declares, he
wrote to the firm by which' she
was employed, asking it to use its
influence to persuade her to return
home. This effort, the complainant
says was without avail, for soon
his wife was promoted by the firm,
and in her new position was obliged
to travel. Her trips, Hamblim
says, sometimes kept his wife away
from home several days at a time
Mrs. Hamblin has visited her hus
band's house twice.
' 'The last time my wife came
home," said Mr. Hamblin "our
little girl put her arms around her
mother's neck and said: 'Mamma,
won't you please come back home
and be our mamma again? and her
mother replied: 'Oh, no, Helen,
I can't. "
Mrs. Hamblin now lives at No.

Snollygoaster Ham.
, A friend of Snollygoaster Ham,
tfie Georgia lecturerer, says 'that
several months ago that fun maker
was in Chicago and had the misfor
tune to have his purse stolen, leav
ing him stranded. Ham was
known at the hotel and managed
to get the proprietor to stake him
until he got a check from the lec
ture bureau. The Snollygoaster
was feeling sore when he ambled
into a restaurant and ordered
dinner, asking the 'waiter what
was "teal."
"Teal, sir; that's duck," vas
the answer.
"Duck?" a
"Yes, sir.'"
"Got wings?'"
"Yes, sir.""
"And could' it ny?'"
"Yes, sir-" N
"Well, I don't want any, then.
Any thing that had wings and
could fly and didn't fly out of this
pickpocket town I don't want tr
have anything to do with."

New York Press.
A man is very fond of country '
life when he doesn't have to live it.
It is better to have wed and been
divorced by an heiress than never
to have had a cent at all.
The nice thing about a girl's
wink is you never can be sure what
it means, so you can try to find
out.
A woman can't enjoy riding in-
an automobile the way she can in
a street car, because mere never is
any conductor to forget to cqjlect
her fare.
You can never make a man be
lieve that he can't afford to pay
five times a- much for his dinner
in a restaurant where everybody is '
looking at him as he can at home.
If a man has money to burn he
can easily find some woman who is.
willing to furnish a match.
