lag on Taboga Island
"Down verdure-clad alopea and ter-
racing reache
Where orange and mango and pine-
apple grow
On wander through Eden to ocean-
waahed beachee—
An Eden that only th ann-chUdren
know”
' Thu Jamea 8 Gilbert tha lata la-
mented poet of Panama wrote of
Taboga Island It was so enticing
that I determined to be ona of tha
sun-children for a day or two and so
steamed away In a little launch twelve
miles out Into tha Pacifle to- that
beauty spot It Is all that Mr Gil-
bert called It and more and It Is no
wonder that tha sanitarium estab-
lished there by the French canal com-
pany and reopened by the Americans
' Is so well patronized If you are a
canal employe— white — and bar
been UI th doctor may be kind
enough to send you over to Taboga
for two weeks to recuperate If you
are a mere visitor you can put np at
the unpretentious little hotel con-
ducted by William Jones th Ameri-
can alx-footer wbo looks Ilk a
miner and dances Ilk a cotillon
leader In olther caao you will b
fortunate for you will find those
“verdure-clad slopes" gorgeooe with
flowers and alive with brilliant birds
and th “ocean-washed beaches th
finest places In th world for a swim
Ton can sail about th pretty bays
with th nattv fishermen or you can
climb up the hills wher th boys are
vociferously driving th klne bom to
be milked or you can merely 11 In
the shad and dream dreams of th
Spanish galleons and th buccaneers
A more delightful place for rest and
the repair of shattered nerve would
be hard to find
Taboga has a history too small as
It la De Lnque the second bishop
of Panama looked upon the Island
saw that It was good and established
there bis country residence In fact
he maintained a household there th
year round for Ilk many another
churchman of th old days he did not
adhere closely to th ml of celibacy
His memory Is preserved by a bath-
ing place In a stream thht runs down
the mountain side called th Bish-
op’s Pool It was reserved for th
nse of him and hie retinue Above It
Is th Family Pool for women and
children and still higher up Is the
Pool of th Letter for th men
The last on derives Its name from
the inscription "J F B Ohio” carved
on a near-by rock This la a reminder
that In 1858 th Fourth lflfantry IT
8 A crossed th Isthmus en rout
for garrison duty In California hav-
ing sailed from New Tork on the
United States mall steamer Ohio
Cholera was prevalent at th time In
Panama and the American soldiers
and the sailors from the Ohio were
attacked by th disease about eighty
of them dying Some of the sick
were left on Taboga Island to recov--er
and evidently on of them did re-
cover sufficiently to climb up to tb
bathing pool and leav tb record
that Is a mystery to the native In-
habitants of this day Incidentally
U 8 Grant then a captain was with
the Fourth Infantry on that trip
If you climb up the hill following
this stream most of tb way you win
com to a place at th summit of a
pass called Las Cruces There set
la cement are three small crosses
commemorating th moat exciting In-
cident In th Island’s history Ac-
cording to a Spanish work written
early la th last century a shipload
of Peruvtaa pirate cam sailing up
tb coast la ISIS and decided Tabeg
was a good plac to loot They land-
ed and drove th small Spanish gar-
rison out of th village and up th
mountain But la th pass the sol-
diers rallied th Inhabitants cam to
’ (belr assistance and there says th
chronicler ' a most bloody combat
raged for hours Finally th pirate
war routed and fled to their ship
leaving thre men dead oa th field
of battle!
The Isthmus reeks with history
som of the most Interesting pas-
sages of which hav to do with Porto
Bello But the visitor who goes
(her with mind full of th mighty
fights and great trad of th old
Spanish days will b woefully dis-
appointed by the town as It now la
Romance commerce everything at-
tractive has fled long ago from that
place and ( Porto Bello Is nothing but
a dirty Immoral little village full of
low cantinas slatternly natives and
mangy curs At each side of th
town Is th ruin of a Spanish fort
Its picturesqueness marred by fisher-
men’s nets and th local washing
bung up to dry
Thus the work of man has decayed
but Nature la as kind as ever to
Porto Bello Its bottle-shaped har-
bor Is onel of the prettiest to ’ be
found with promontories guarding the
entrance beautiful hills on both
sides and entrancing little rivers
meandering down from the moun-
tains and through th jungle Into
Its upper end One hill opposite th
town boasts the remains of thre un-
usually interesting Spanish forts
One Is at the water’s edge another
severs hundred yards up the slope
and these two were once connected
by a covered Utone stairway tha ruins
of which still provide the easiest
means of ascending On th sum-
mit of th hill Is th third fort a
mighty squar tower surrounded by
a deep moat Th walls at almost
Intact but th roof has fallen In and
th fortress Is full of trees and shrub-
bery With thee thre forts two other
protecting tb harbor entrance the
two at the ends of the town and an-
other just above It Porto Bello might
well seem to hav been Impregnable
yet It was taken twice by th Eng-
lish Sir Francis Drake planned to
capture It in 1SII but just as hls
ships were about to begin th attack
Drake died and was buried In th
mouth of the harbor Dispirited by
the loss of their leader the English
sailed away but Capt William Parker
took up the project In KOI With
two ships be got past the first forts
at night and after a desperate fight
captured and sacked th city carry-
ing off 10000 ducts’ worth of plunder
The second taking of Porto Bello
was the first notable exploit of Henry
Morgan the famous buccaneer as an
Independent commander of a fleet
Sailing Into what Is now Colon har-
bor he took hls men up a river In
canoes landed at a place called Ee-
tera Longa Lemos and marching
through th jungle attacked th city
from th rear First capturing th
castle abov th town he shut th
garrison In on room and blew them
and tha fort to pieces with gunpow-
der Th governor th citizens and
th rest of the soldiers surprised and
terror-stricken were soon driven Into
on of the other forts and for hour
they bravely withstood tb assaults
of the buccaneers until as Eequemet-
tag tells us Captain Morgan began to
despair of th whole success of th
enterprise Finally he had a number
of ladders mad and forced th
priests and nuns whom he had cap-
tured to set them up against th
walla Maay of thee poor creature
were killed by the defenders but at
last the Udder were placed and th
buccaneers swarmed up them carrying
fireballs and pots of powder which
they kindled and hurled among th
Spaniard The garrison surrendered
at discretion but the gallant governor
defended himself so obstinately that
tb English war forced to kill film
Morgan remained la Porto Bello sev-
eral weeks plundering tb plaoa and
torturing th dttsens to Indue them
to reveal th hiding plaoes of thlr
riches
Though an important plac la th
transshipment of gold from th west
coast of South America Porto Bello
never was a large town but for sev-
eral weeks each year It was vary
populous This was at th tlm of
th annual fair when tb galleons
from Spain were In th harbor wait-
ing for th mul trains to bring th
gold from Panama Then merchants
and adventurers from all that part of

WASHINGTON— Here Is something
tbat will surprise you
in spit of the tremendous growth
of memanlcally propelled vehicles the
“horseless age" which has so often
been heralded as Just about to arrive
Is not In tbs offing apparently It Is
not even 'en route” today there are
more horses in the United States than
there have been since the tlm when
the mind of the census man runneth
not to th contrary
And not only this but horses today
have a far greater value than they had
a dozen or more years ago when the
first workable "horseless carriage"
poked its crude nose over the horizon
and threatened to sweep all horsedom
Into the discard
Furthermore those poor relations of
the horse— the mules the asses and
the burros — have also Increased In
number and In value
In short all our old-fashioned four-
footed means of traction can kick their
Washington Furnishes Prize Summer Fish Story
FISH stories may go and fish stories
may come but the piscatorial yarn
related by Capt Charles H Thomp-
son a sea-beaten mariner of Miami
Fla makes all others appear like a
bush league alongside of Ty Cobb
Said fish was right in the midst of
Washington for more than five months
while a Washingtonian J S Wam-
beth mounted It
As Captain Thompson In company
with W I Brooks and a Norwegian
sailor were cruising off the coast of
Miami Fla on June 1 1912 there
hove Into sight a huge monster th
like of which man never before had
laid eyes upon A mighty struggle
for supremacy fcnsued and man was
declared the victor
Five harpoons and 161 bullets were
rpqulred-to subdue tb monster and It
took five days to kill It Before It
was under control it smashed a boat
Into thousands of pieces and knocked
th rudder and propeller off a 81-ton
yacht The crew was towed around
th ocean tor 39 hours by tbe monster
at a speed of about 46 miles an hour
When It was finally brought Into shore
more than 6000 people were on the
steamship ways at Miami City of-
ficials judges ministers the chief of
police bankers and th greater part
of th population of Miami will vouch

our old time-honored friends— the

Let us consider these facts which
have been extracted from a recent
number of the Crop Reporter that
publication of much esoteric interest
Issued "by authority of the secretary
of agriculture:” On January 1 1911
the total number of horses on farms
and ranges In the United 8tates was
20667000 valued at tUO77 per bead
with an aggregate value of 2278222

horses had Increased 68000 mules
Increased 24000 milch cows decreased
202000 other cattle decreased L230-
000 sheep decreased 880000 swine
decreased 4232000

what bearing this decrease during the
year 1912 In the numbers of cattle

How to prepare feeds for bogs to
secure the greatest economy Is a
question frequently asked by hog
raisers
Corn should be fed on the cob
Where shelled corn - Is bought It
should be ground or soaked The
Iowa experiment station after exhast-
Ive trials found tbat feeding on the
cob was most economical and that
soaking for twelve hours was equal to
grinding
Such small grains as wheat bar-
ley oats and rye are commonly fed
In Idaho and other northwestern
states Tbe outer layers of these
grains become very hard after a few
months and when such' hard flinty
grains are fed to hogs a large part of
them pass through the digestive tract
whole as waste
Hogs can b Induced to do their
own grinding by scattering grain on
a rough concrete or other feeding
Boor or by feeding grain In the
sheaf Ordinarily however we have
to grind roll or soak the small
grains Coarse grinding which leaves
hard sharp cornered pieces Is not rec-
ommended Grains must be ground
fine especially for young pigs Roll-
ing grains leave them In a porous
condition and when taken Into the
stomach they make a porous mass
upon which the digestive Juices can
easily act Grinding or rolling ordi-
narily save about ten per cent

CARE REQUIRED FOR
THE WINDOW GARDEN
Particular Attention Should Be
Paid to Water and Shade
’ for Plants
(By L M BENNINGTON)
Pay strict attention to the potted
plants as regards water and shade
for all plants require some shade dur-
ing summer especially from th after-
noon sunshine
See toi It that plants Intended for
winter btaomlng are not allowed to
bloom now Pinch off th buds as
they appear
Pots plunged In th border must be
turned once a week to prevent the
roots striking through the drainage
hol
Now Is the time for making cuttings
Of geraniums and th like Keep th
slips damp until weU rooted then
pot Keep all buds pinched off until
frost appears and kills outdoor Bowers
Th oleander will root quickly If slips
are cut three or four inches long put
In a bottle of water and hung In a
Shady place
Seeds of pansies lsstanas prim-
roses Impatient Sultana and the Ilk

An orchard 1st at Quincy Wash
says that he has been successful In
destroying pocket gophers In th or-
chard by digging a hol lit feet deep
and a foot across He ha found that
the pocket gophers get Into th hol
and are easily killed He report to

feeds for hogs’ The self-feeder 1 suc-
cessful if regulated to prevent waste
and when used feeds are of course
ted dry When rations are given la
a trough our experience at the Idah
experiment station Indicates an ad
vantage from wetting feeds Dry and
floury feeds need much liquid to
moisten them and the saliva and di-
gestive juices are hardly sufficient
for this purpose furthermore wet
ting makes feeds more bulky thereby
preventing rapid eating and when
fed in this rather bulky wet form
they satisfy the appetites of the older
hogs for bulk
Cooking and steaming were com-
mon a few years ago but are now no
longer popular It has been found
that cooking tends to lessen the feed-
ing value of some grains and In most
cases does not bring enough benefits
to pay for fuel and time Exceptions
to this rule are potatoes and beans
which give best results when cooked
Alfalfa hay Is cheap In th north-
west and can b aucceefully used for
a large portion of the brood sow’s
winter ration and as a small part
of the allowance for fattening hogs
Experiments at the Idaho station In-
dicate that alfalfa can be fed whole
In a rack with greatest eooLomy
After exhaustive trials tha Nebraska
experiment station found that alfalfa
fed whole was slightly more economi-
cal than cutting or chopping It Into
short lengths and that grinding fin
Into meal as compared with the other
methods of feeding alfalfa was not
so profitable on th farm

of this town writes th following
letter for publication: “My health
was very bad for a long time on
account of womanly trouble I suf-
fered a great deal at different times
with headache and pains in tb bot-
tom of my stomach and bad blind
spells
All of this made m so weak I
could hardly sit up I tried treat-
ment after treatment but they did m
no good
Just as soon as I commenced tak-
ing Cardui the woman’s tonic' my
health got better and now I can do
all my housework
I will never be without Cardui In
the bouse and will recommend It to
very lady that I can for it has don
m so much good and I know It will
do th same for others If they will
give It a trial”
Th reason Cardui has attained
such wonderful success in th treat-
ment of diseases peculiar to women
la that it acts specifically on th
womanly organs It contains purely
vegetable Ingredients of real medio-
Inal merit and in a safe gentle way
helps build the womanly constitution
