SATURDAY EVENING, THE PANAMA CANAL AT WORK [Continued from Editorial Pago.] By Frederic J. Haskin 1 of them are richly dowered in worldly goods. The bride's father, for ex ample. may present the young couple with a' few houses in Panama and a farm in the country. The groom's father will probably contribute a suitable residence and SIO,OOO in gold for a honeymoon. Jewelry of the ornate and elaborate sort favored by Panamanian taste will be showered upon the bride by her innumerable relatives. The young couple will usually spend several months in Eu rope upon their honeymoon. It is a significant fact that since the Eu ropean war began most of them have been coming to the United States, and or.e of these interesting couples may he found upon nearly every passenger boat plying between New York and Panama. Thus the life of the Panamanian aristocrat is pleasant and easy. It moves in the well-worn grooves of tradition. It is filled with the pleas ures of the senses and devoid of worry, hurry and excessive effort. This opulent life of the upper class of Panama rests upon the swarming lower classes like some splendid struc ture built upon piles sunk deep in mire. Just as the aristocrat of Panama has everything, so the peon has nothing—neither privilege, wealth nor hope. Nearly all of the land is owned by the aristocrats: it is said that six men in Panama own nearly all of the cattle; everything worth having belongs to the ruling class. The Panamanian peon lives in a palm thatched hut and cultivates a bit of ground rescued from the jungle. He raises plantains, bananas, yams, and catches fish from the rivers suid the bay. Upon these thingß he li\fs. and he sells enough of them to pay tribute In the form of rent and taxes to his all-powerful masters. Ruling: Note Is Contentment Thus in Panama the stage seems set for a social revolution. Here is a down-trodden class, deprived of all rights and hopes, and a dominating class numerically much smaller, living on the fat of the land. The time seems ripe for a Panamanian Robespierre. But there is not going to be anv social revolution in Panama. That is one of the sure things. They have had fifty-seven so-called revolutions there, according to local historians, but none of them have been class wars. They have been fights for political "pie" between cliques of the ruling class. The dominant note of all Panama nian society is contentment, and that contentment is the key to Panamanian life. The peon is poor and always will be poor in his own right, but by nature he is one of the richest men on earth. He scratches the ground with | LAST CHANCE TO-NIGHT j Manufacturers' Pure Food Exhibit ;i Beautiful Displays !; CheSWUi Street Auditorium 1 6 Large Baskets of \ n Good Music 7to 10.30 i| Pure Foods w 2f^ d |!

The point of view of the peon was well expressed by one of them who was ottered a job by an American contractor. "Why should I work? I have pants and a shirt," was the reply of this un conscious philosopher. He had named the necessities of life. Everybody Satisfied The earth yields everything else he needs, and what he has never known he does not miss. All in Panama, from the poor peon in his hut to the wealthy landlord, are satisfied with life. And therein lies the explanation of their aversion to change and pro gress. An account of the people of Panama would not be complete without men tion of the San Bias Indians, one of the most remarkable primitive tribes on the hemisphere. They live in a wild tract of country in the northern part of the republic and number some 25,000. In habits they are quite primi tive, those on the coast living almost entirely by fishing and trading the natural products of the jungle, while the inland tribes practice a limited agriculture. They are a sturdy, well built people, deep-chested and broad shouldered, with long arms and short legs, giving them a slightly grotesque appearance, but great power and activity. They are Intelligent and of a high morality, being largely uncor rupted by the civilized vices. These people share the prevailing conservatism. Their desire is to live their lives unmolested, and to keep the blood of their race pure. It has long been one of their rules that no alien could remain overnight in their villages, and this is still said to be rigidly enforced by many of the tribes. Fearless and Independent Fearless and independent, these In dians have never acknowledged the sovereignty of the Republic of Pana ma. Recently, the government sent some of Its representatives to the San Bias country for the purpose of pro moting certain industrial develop ments. The Indians forthwith resented this intrusion by raising the Colom bian flag. This, however, did not Indi cate any feeling of patriotism for the country which once owned their lands, but simply an appreciation of the fact that the Colombians had left them alone. There are other tribes in the In terior of Panama, about which very little is known. One of these is the Talamanca Indians, who are accredit ed with a unique practice of gambling for wives. It is said that each man entering this game puts one wife (he has several) into the pool. The con testants then stand in two rows, armed with the throwing clubs, which are their most effective native weapons. A battle of throw and dodge then starts, and continues until only one man is left standing. He gets the en tire "pot" as an addition to his domes tic establishment. The existence of this custom is vouched for by a num ber of reputable traders in Colon, who have been in the habit of getting up parties to witness this unique amuse ment.

GREAT SIMiKRS OF A CENTURY The nineteenth century has justly : been called the century of wonders, for iin one hundred years the world ad vanced materially, more than it had, almost in. one hundred centuries pre ceding. In the Fine Arts music flour ished in the nineteenth century as there are no signs of Its flourishing in the twentieth. Consequently, with the richness of musical life, the world had a series of singers whose names are treasured by all those who love the finest manifestation of the art of music —song. Melba was born in the nineteenth ! century and hap reached the summit of her achievements in the twentieth. The concert tour she Is making this | year is of supreme Importance to all those Interested in the art of singing, for Melba. Is unique among singers, not merely In the matter of voice but In the perfection of its use.—Adver tisement. MAY ROBSON May Robson, as Jolly as ever, comes i to the Orpheum next Thursday evening in a revival of Anne Warner's comedy of humor and humanity, "The Rejuve nation of Aunt Mary," and a comedy playlet, John Henry," based on Eliza-, beth Jordon's character sketches, in which she achieved the greatest suc cess of her career. Anyone who has seen the hilarious play In seasons past will vouch for Its entertaining quail ties and to those who have the blues or feel rather glum or morose, It Is es- Fiecially recomfnended. From the open ng of the play until the very end there is nothing but continuous roars of laughter of the side-splitting va riety, with just enough pathos for a oreatalng spell. Miss Robson, through it all is natural and effective, and of the many comedy roles she has creat ed none has suited her to a greater de gree.—Advertisement. "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" There has never been so lavish and adequate a production of "ITncle Tom's Cabin" as that which Mr. Burgess will offer amusement lovers at the Or pheum next Friday, matinee and night. The scenes, Which are large enough to till the most spacious stage, could not easily be improved. Those r, present ing the Ohio river in winter, the rocky pass in which George Harris protects his family; the St. Claire plantation, the levee at New Orleans, the cotton fields In full bloom, and the "Celestial City" are all most notable effects. Each pictures the realitv as closely as paint, and canvas will permit and the stage fiersnective is so deep that the effect h exceptionally pleasing. The company is also worthy of the environment.

MAJESTIC VAUDEVILLE "The Pullman Porter Maids." the bright little musical comedy now ap pearing so successfully at the Majestic, and all the clever array of supporting Keith attractions, will leave the Wal nut street playhouse after to-night's > performances. Vaudeville lovers are loud In their praise of this clever bill and there are reasons to believe that the closing performances will be wit nessed by capacity audiences.. The act presented by Kolb and Harland is a distinct novelty and is greatly enhanc ed by the clever work of the perform ers It is in reality a satire that is both artistic and laughable. Th«* ar tistic part is contributed by the artists in dances and doings' when grand mother was a girl, while the comedy element is supplied by an exaggerated idea of modern dances and ideas.
